Great food! It was my first time there. Service was great. I would highly recommend for your best breakfast or brunch outing.

Love going here, so many options, never been disappointed. Love the french toast sticks, and the chicken pot pit.

Definitely worth the wait! I love the fun and vibrant colors inside. We have been twice and have been happy with the service and food each time. Recommend the hash browns, if you like garlic! It's a place we want to take our families when they visit.

The food is so good (especially the French toast) and we didn't even have to wait before before being seated! The food came out really quickly, and was really nicely decorated, so I encourage anyone one who's in the area to try it!

Would be a 3 star, but it may have just been an off day. It's not as good as our last visit. Waited long enough to be seated that we finally sat ourselves. Only seen one front house person during that time. Food was okay, not great, but my ham Benedict was Luke warm, hash browns were hot. Once we were niticed everything came out quickly.

Decent brunch spot, food is typically good and drinks are great. During the weekend it's busy so you'll definitely want to put yourself on the waitlist unless you don't mind waiting.

Found this place on our drive to Denver. Great staff and nice vibe. Ordered two burritos. Omg! This is why America is sick. They weighed more than our cat. If this is your jam, you’ll love it.

My family absolutely loved our experience and food here. My daughter usually eats like a bird but man she ate almost all of her chicken and waffles. I also had the chicken and waffles and it was fantastic. The chicken was well seasoned and not dry at all. The waffles were light and fluffy. My grandmother loved her corned beef hash and said the hollandaise was perfect. They do have a kids menu even though it's not posted online so that was a nice surprise. Would absolutely visit again.One small critique. I know they were very busy, but the waitress asking if we were finished when our plates were not even a quarter done was a bit annoying. Then she asked again when we were still actively eating and if we needed boxes. We were there maybe 45 minutes and she asked if we were finished every 15 minutes. Define felt rushed but like I said overall the experience was great and the waitress was overall nice.

I consider this the best breakfast spot in the Des Moines metro. The only detractor is the sometimes absurdly long wait time, but that's more a consequence of their popularity.

Popular place so be prepared to wait......but worth it. The servings are generous and the food was very good. We've eaten there several times.

Great brunch option. Recommend taking a good look over the menu before sitting at your table there are endless options. Would be overwhelming for anyone's first visit. One downfall I might add is there is a waitlist you can be added to, keep in mind that it is a rough estimation, and not a guarantee. They are pretty particular with everyone in your party being present before receiving you all at your table. Space is limited during brunch hours

Kari L.

Definitely a DM favorite of my family. Smiling, upbeat vibe with amazing drink and food options. Make them your staple. Don't forget to put ur name on wait list an hour prior. Worth the wait!

Food and place is amazing. Great brunch location and always busy! Service is on point and always very accommodating, had some questions on some menu iteams and server explained it exceptionally well. Also recommended great drinks too! Great for all types of people or plans, chill, drinking, family, etc.
