Restaurants in Des Moines

“I had a great dinner at Wally's with family (including a tween, kindergartner, and toddler). After a week in WA, this was my last stop before the airport.

We ordered the clam chowder, mozzarella sticks, calamari fries, kids fried clams, and a combo platter. I really enjoyed every item, very fresh and tasty.

This was my first time here though my family has been here numerous times. The kids enjoyed the food and atmosphere a lot. Can't wait to come back on my next trip!”

“We had low expectations because of some of these reviews - but all those people must have come here at the wrong time because we showed up at 3:00AM and the food was excellent. Great portion size, fresh vegetables, awesome hummus. My husband didn’t get what he ordered (a beef and lamb gyro) and got a lamb, rice, hummus pita plate instead but it was still really good. The curveball here is that we were stone cold sober.”

“10/10 for the amazing food, drinks, but for sure the atmosphere! A super cozy place to come during sunset got a warm vibe packed full of plants and cute decor. Comfortable seating and lots of it too. Beautiful assortment of fresh cut flowers 💐

The Tandoori Chicken pizza is my choice, with a perfect amount of toppings to taste in each bite. The Indian spices are prevalent with high quality mozzarella, chewy thin crust, and portioned just right for one if you get the small.

Amazing staff, very friendly and personal. I felt like I was at their home, but with a fully stocked bar 🍸

Highly recommend this cute gem.

Walk here or park behind the main building, turn right, close to the middle by the main office. Retail parking has signs.... I found some on the left.”

“customer service always friendly”

“Great selection and wonderful staff”

“I first heard about Kanishka's Des Moines location through a friend who saw somebody raving about it in a Seattle foodies group here on FB. My friend and I went to check it out and, well, it's my new favorite restaurant. I've been here 3 times and Door Dashed it once in the past month. The food every time has been absolutely fantastic, and the portion size are quite generous. The appetizers are almost entree-sized; the first time I went there with a friend, we filled up on appetizers and had to get our entrees to go. Dish recommendations: Chicken 65 and Fish Pakoras for appetizers; Mixed Grill, Lamb Vindaloo, and Paneer Korma entrees. Also, listen to your host as it seems like they're always trying out new dishes that haven't made it onto the menu yet.”

“One of the many great Des Moines restaurants, if you haven’t been, you need too. Great hospitality and amazing food. Definitely a must!”

“This place is a treat that everyone is pleased to visit in my family. The drinks are made fresh and come with just the right amount of ice. Every item is delicious and the picture menu is helpful for ordering. I recommend stopping by here before running errands, or before/during a road trip”

“We hadn't eaten at this restaurant in five years because of, well let's just say it wasn't very good. THIS time we had a gift certificate for our long time wedding anniversary to eat at the Anthony's HomePort in Des Moines. The food was EXCELLENT!!! We had clam chowder, steak, scallops, and rhubarb slump. We will be eating there many times in the future. Thank you so much!”

“The service was amazing and the Pizza was super delicious! ❤The Oklahoma travelers”

“Excellent banh mi, hot ginger lemon tea, and boba tea choices. 5 stars!”

“First time dining at Creole Soul. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Spoke with the owner/chef Hampton Isom. Very pleasant gentleman.
I enjoyed the catfish with red beans and rice, jalapeño hush puppies and my Glenlivet 12.
Everything was fresh, tasty and overall excellent.”

“This is our new favorite teriyaki place. Customer service is always on point and the good is good! We have always done take-out, so this review is for that. Thank you for being here in Des Moines. It's nice having something close by!”

“Huge place, great people…. Pool table, vooseball, great food. Try the blackened salmon sandwich”

“Great tasting chili sauce with delicious wholesome beans and rice. Our favorites are the chicken mole & shrimp nachos, the best! Oh yes, the Cadillac margaritas � ����”

“Fantastic food, vibes and service. Moored here in our boat and looked forward to going there each day. Thanks”

“Cute little place! They have a good variety of treats. We had the mango smoothie, lots of goodies in it! A piece of cake from the cooler near the door, it was firm and moist, allot of whip cream. We also had the
Chicharrones they were tasty!
Service was quick and pleasant. Atmosphere was colorfully decorated but there was some construction plastic curtains hanging in the dining area. Otherwise, this place is a hidden gem in Des Moines, we'll go back again!”

“I love Bizzy Bean Expresso! They have the best drinks, so many different ones to choose from and the baristas are very nice! My drink is perfect every single time! I love the fun flavors!!! My fav is iced Lucky Charms with marshmallow cold foam!”

“Love this shop! Heather is amazing and the coffee is always just right!”

“ZERO STARS! Overpriced, miss labeled, and falsely advertised! Bet you clearly states like coming knowledge for anybody that’s had a spring roll would know it should entail of the rice wrapper, lettuce, carrots, shrimp, noodles. Now take a look at that picture and tell me if you see any of the last two ingredients. Might as well call it a lettuce wrap because that’s all it was was just lettuce and carrots and a piece of shrimp buried in the middle of it all is aware of that. After calling and complaining the owner said that that’s how they are supposed to be made because they have people complaining that the noodle start to smell bad from keeping them overnight. That’s a whole separate issue don’t list an ingredient literally on your website it bad you that you are knowingly not going to include in the item because I would not have paid what I paid for a literally just all lettuce and carrots because you guys what a cheap out and put whole shrimp or noodles and your spring rolls. I have never ever been to any type of Asian establishment that would call this a spring roll with no type of protein to it whatsoever and the restaurant was less than fourth coming being helpful in making it correctly. Never ever coming back and making sure nobody I know ever wastes their money there!”

“Food is excellent however the prices are very high. Also, the recent health dept rating on the door says just ok.

Parking: Small parking lot behind building.”

“We took advantage of Papa Murphy’s Tuesday pizza sale and were very pleased with our pizza. We also ordered a Club and a Chicken Caesar salad and they were both very good. The salads are large and we weren’t able to finish them so between the leftover pizza and the leftover salads we’ve got at least one more meal.”

“Excellent food. The chicken was perfect- melt in your mouth. Even the rice is exactly right. The sauce was not over whelming but getting all the way thru it. Not too salty but you know it's there. I will absolutely be back even tho I live 30 miles away. That good.”

“Headed here for a last minute Seattle dawg, and stumbled into this place, honestly best place I’ve been too! Mariners on tv and chill atmosphere .. will be coming back! ❤️”

“we could tell by the pictures of the pizza that this is the kind we like. There is something special about the cheese. Delicious, will be back. For the people that complain about it being soggy...its probably because you get door dash etc. and its cold. get it right out of the oven.”

“The food is spectacular here! I came for my Birthday and was BLOWN AWAY. New favorite Chinese spot. 12 out of 10!”

“AMAZING FOOD & SERVICE!! ANGIE ROCKS!!”

“The food is fantastic! I’m a gluten free person and the staff and owner have been very accommodating!”

“Great service here. The dining room is clean and inviting for a fast food place. Good menu selection with a variety of price points. The drive thru here is usually pretty fast, maybe a little slower when busy.”

“The workers are nice, clean and looks very simple and clean inside.

Parking: There are parking reserved for sharetea customers

Kid-friendliness: Ok for kids”

“To go or sit at picnic table outside! Delicious food!”

“Went to pick up a friend and we were looking for a late night place to grab food. He noticed the 24 hour sign and so we made a U-turn and headed into the drive-thru. Drive-thru is a little slow. I commented to my friend, "this place has to be awesome for the wait to be this long..." and... it was awesome. ordered the carne asada burrito and my friend ordered the carnitas burrito and an asada taco. so, the wait in the drive-thru was WORTH it. really big portions. actually eating the other half of my burrito right now and it still tastes great even after having been sitting in my fridge overnight and then nuked in the microwave. definitely will be back. next time though, i think going inside will be the plan.”
