“I went here twice passing through town and I could never figure out how to get in so I went through the back ?Nancy the bartender is so awesome, I loved talking to her. All the locals are super friendly as well and treated me like family.”
“We stopped in the evening of 3/17. We got a large sausage, mushrooms and onion pizza with a side of garlic cheese bread. Hands down the best pizza I've had! The staff was very helpful and positive. Large pizza and cheese bread,softdrinks was under $30. We will go back.”
“Very good breakfast! Good biscuits and gravy which is hard to come by lately. Came out nice and hot! We will be back again. Only thing is the hash browns could have been cooked a little longer to get the brown crisp, either way they were good!”
“Edit: Since the change in location I had to update my review to 5 stars. Great place to go, love the new atmosphere!Love this place! Food is great and servers are amazing! The ONLY reason it's a 4 with me is because it can get pretty loud in there due to the tile floors and nothing to soak up the sound. I'd suggest maybe some sound panels for the walls :)”
“I am a frequent visitor at this location and I can not rave enough! Everyone is always so friendly my drinks are made to perfection! My kids LOVE their smoothies! Appreciate you all!”
“We love Billie's! We moved to Adel 3 years ago and have spent many summer evenings walking to Billie's and enjoying their treats! Our kids love to get the cars to honk along the road.”
“We wandered over to check this place out, heard it was similar to Pad Thai Garden. We have missed them SO much so decided to make the drive... We walked in and noticed all tables were full-always a good sign. Decided we would get ours to go. Ordered Pad Thai (1 *) with chicken, drunken noodles (2*) and a veggie delight. The pad Thai was good, not great. It wasn't bad, it just didn't have much of whatever that Thai umami flavor is that I'm obsessed with. 3/5 stars. The drunken noodles were my favorite and surprisingly so, it was a last minute choice to add on. I'd drive there again for these alone 5/5. The veggie delight (ordered 2 *) was also spicy and flavorful. We should have tried an appetizer and probably will next time. I'm not sure I'd make it a frequent destination at 25 min each way, but if you're around it's absolutely worth stopping in :) It's a solid Thai place and I'm glad the people in the area have a good option!”
“We loved Brickyard Burgers & Brew! The food was great, and the service was super-friendly, helpful, and quick. We will be back and also tell our friends.I accidentally put 1 star instead of 5 in my initial review.My apologies to BB&B.?????”
“I have been going here for years and can't say enough about the good quick service and food. Take out will typically take only 10 minutes and that's really quick. The service is excellent and they are very personable when you come in. The combination Lo Mein is my go to, and it's consistantly on point.”
“I always order ahead with the app. Subways app is way better than some of them, super easy to use and convenient. My order is always done ahead of schedule and correctly made. Very good place.”
“Best ice cream treats you will find in the area. A perfect stop along the bike trail. Well worth the wait on a hot day. They also offer tasty sandwiches at a reasonable price.”
“True Mexican food and a complete menu. Staff were friendly and attentive to us throughout the meal. Small town and great food. We will eat there again when we go back to Minburn, IA. There is a great sharing dish, try it with friends.”
“Fun dive bar deep into Waukee. Live music on Fridays and Saturdays, a few TVs to catch a game, darts, pool and cheap drinks. It gets really busy but the staff does a great job trying to keep the drinks flowing! They do fun events like psychics, bingo and other things every once and awhile as well. Highly recommend.”
“Fantastic breakfast. I had the amazing biscuits and gravy and the breakfast burrito wonderful. The dark roast coffee was excellent. The service was also outstanding. I will be back soon and often. This is a must go to place.”
“I recently visited this ice cream shop and I must say, it was an absolute delight! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere. The variety of flavors they offer is impressive, catering to every taste bud imaginable.I tried their cherry dole whip and the chocolate malt and they were absolutely divine – rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor! The quality of their ice cream is top-notch, and you can tell that they use only the finest ingredients.Not only is the ice cream delicious, but the ambiance of the shop itself is charming and inviting. It's the perfect place to catch up with friends or enjoy a sweet treat with family. The staff are friendly and attentive, making sure that every customer leaves with a smile on their face.Overall, I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a delightful ice cream experience. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this place is a must-visit for ice cream lovers!”
“Great place off the beaten path. Enjoyed my food. Excellent staff. Kiff and Jessie were so helpful when I spilled my coffee. grateful for their kindness and efficiency.”
“The best chocolate chip cookies and cinnamon rolls EVER! We live in Minneapolis and haven't found anything close to Echos, so we always make a stop there when we're in Des Moines.”
“I had the tenderloin, which was more like a batter fried pork chop. It was VERY good. We went with a large group, and most people ordered appetizers and sandwiches. Everyone's food exceeded expectations. The service was incredible given the size of our group during a busy weekend rush.”
“The best little coffee shop you've never heard of. Need to get away and relax with a hot cup of coffee or tea? Make the drive out to Dallas Center a priority. Meg and her wonderful staff will make sure you leave with a smile and great conversation. I judge most coffee shops by their black coffee and Sugar Grove has the best. Fresh donuts daily from a local proprietor coupled with art and keepsakes made by area crafts people will leave you wondering why you hadn't come sooner. And the sammies are out of this world. Do yourself a favor and get to Sugar Grove Good sooner rather than later!!”
“The bar has nice people and great bands. It is a little small, but homey. There is no menu but free popcorn and hot dogs. If you cone on Thursday evenings there's a great country band and a lot of fun.”
“We ordered a small champagne cake to celebrate our wedding anniversary...Shelley was amazing. She made it just like I asked and it was delicious. Highly recommend ordering from her!”
“We drive 30+ minutes to eat and drink at The Kee. It’s our favorite little hangout with the best breakfast in town on weekends. Monday night steak nights, plus great pizza and even better staff!”
“One of my most favorite places; my happy place.Small family owned and ran; very nice people.The food is always fresh, hot and deliceous. I have had everything on the menu and you can't go wrong. Reason we go few times a month (doesn't hurt they ate just arround the corner from our house either lol)”
“Five Points Dallas Center is well worth the short drive from the Des Moines metro area. Everything from the appetizers to the desserts were a gastronomic treat! Besides the wonderful menu, daily specials can be found. Also, the bartender is well versed in specialty drinks. I am delighted I found this charming new restaurant.”
“What a nice find in a small town. I love these local places that server good food and have great staff working. Our food came out fast hot and most importantly, TASTY! Other members of my party had the recommended pork tenderloin and they all said how good it was. I had the Philly steak sandwich, I was very happy I did. Great bun and flavor from that sandwich and the whole meal/experience left me happy to leave an extra large tip. It seemed after 6 it got louder and made it harder to have a conversation. If you stop in earlier you will have a quite experience. If you stop in later in the evening it seems you will have a party like atmosphere. It's nice that you can get both in the same place.”
“One of my favorite Scooters locations! They're always very kind and quick. Inside, there's a lot of seating and even outlets for if you want to work from there. Convenient location right off Hickman.”
“Stopped in here to watch a game before dinner. We sat sat the bar. The bartender was nice. This is obviously a place where there are a ton of regulars. The bar was clean. There was a slew of snacks available for purchase. They were setting up for karaoke around 8:30 but we were not able to stay for that.”
“Right off the main road. Came in to grab gas, the gas station has a lot of entrances and parking. Getting in and out was super quick. Grabbed a coffee inside, everything for coffee was available and ready to go. The clerk was super nice and we were quickly on our way.”
“I haven’t had amazing tacos since I was in Brooklyn 2 years ago. I have been on the hunt since my favorite place to go closed during the first surge of Covid. I try new taco places at least 2 times a week, and each has been a disappointment. I am super picky about my Al Pastor, especially. This place has me believing in good tacos again. 100 % recommend this place.”
“Very clean and modern atmosphere. The owners are really nice and friendly. Coffee is smooth. Pastries are freshly made and sealed in the glass jar to keep fresh. The peanut butter cookies were even warm when I got them in the noon. You can tell the owners are really hard working and taking care of the business properly.”
