Bar & Grill near Altoona

“Searched online for a Sports Bar and it would appear I've found The Sports Bar. Of all the sports bars in Des Moines, Sam's has been recognized as the best sports bar. Happy I made a stop at the "Cheers" of Altoona.

Very festive and friendly crowd, thanks to Amanda and Shawn for the freshly fried wings, which were plump and juicy. (Not like those double fried wings one gets in a chain restaurant).

Pop in for the local craft beers and am very surprised of the quality and flavors. These beers should be marketed throughout the States. I have never, ever tried any beers like these before. I'll never drink a Coors again.

Wheelchair accessibility: Roll right on it.“

“Fireside Altoona has some of the best food around at great prices. Their burgers are "Perfection".“

“Our waiter was awesome and gave me his recommendation for this spider sushi on half off sushi Tuesday. My first time trying it and was very good along with this dressed up Bloody Mary. This is a great place to get a nice sushi dinner fix on a budget. They have also brought me special order Rachel Sushi available at Altoona HyVee. It is made in a dragon design.“

“Brownie says: I don't ever feel out of place here. The bar owner ( Jeff ) and his entire staff are the best...“

“The BEST beer selection ANYWHERE!!! Every time I’m there I describe what I’m feeling like drinking and they ALWAYS bring a beer that hits the mark!!“

“Staff is great. Food is great. Very clean cute place. Carnitas quesadilla was delicious. Salads are huge and chopped well. Loved everything about our experience!“

“Great service and awesome pizza!“

“Best Steak I've had in along time price that you can't find any where else.16 Oz t bone, salad, t toast,big baked potato sour cream, butter, home made dressing!.25.00$.You can't beat this Steak Special.“

“The food was great! I recommend the Taco Tuesday taco and fried onion rings. The atmosphere was good but it was so noisy that we couldn't have a normal conversation. We asked the server if she could ask the noisy table to lower their voices and she said she couldn't. I know The Clipper is extremely busy on taco Tuesday and that's fine, customers should be respectful and servers should ask people to lower their voice a few notches if they are disrespectful.“

“I’ve been craving a burger all day….. went to Spage tonight and had the best burger! #cravingsatisfied Tried a new drink too…. Vodka soda with a splash of pineapple juice! Thanks for the great service, Spage staff!!“

“Like the place, service was good the food was average. Meatball Pizza was bland, very little sauce, no meatballs, just small pieces of meat, added onions not sure where they were, most of no flavor. The Hamburger Pizza was ok according to the person that ordered it. The Baked Camarillo was very good.“

“Outstanding service and great prices plus a great biker atmosphere. Make this a must stop destination for anybody who loves motorcycling.“

“What a great bar! The bartenders hustle with a busy bar and the drinks are a great pour. The customer service is amazing and with TVs on every wall they are the best location to watch a game. Food was also amazing and we can’t wait to be back!“

“The Italian nachos are hands down the tastiest most creative spin on nachos I've ever had!! 5 Stars all day long!!“

“Food was good. Great place to watch a game and have a tasty beverage.
Server oddly would walk away before finishing our order or sentence. Didnt refill our drinks without being asked. My friend excused her for having too many tables. True.

Parking: Parking around entire building with entrances on both sides.“

“I LOVE the burgers! and the crispy chicken wraps are amazing. all the bartenders are absolutely wonderful and so nice!“

“With a rambunctious toddler it’s sometime stressful to go out to eat as a family but the staff at Tavern 36 always make us feel welcome. The service is speedy and the food is delicious. It’s our go-to family-night-out restaurant!“

“The last few times we came here for the wings, the sauce is always consistently AWESOME... but unfortunately, the wings have been very overcooked. If they could consistently cook the wings to fall off the bone, this spot would earn 5 stars!“

“HyVee is a friendly Midwest grocery store chain. They typically have the freshest produce of anu grocery store, and the best selection. Their focus may not always be on the lowest prices, but they have a better selection and higher quality product than some cheaper stores. They're not overpriced, just maybe not the lowest. I find them to be a good value for quality and money. Staff is always friendly!“

“One of my favorite bars in Ankeny! We went there last week and got the cheese curds and buffalo wings...and shocking, they might have been the best wings I have ever had! There was live music which was also awesome. Quick service, kind staff. My husband & I had the best date night there (sat at the bar).“

“Starting shopping here more frequent a few months ago. The meat department guys are phenomenal!! So kind and knowledgeable. Everyone is always nice and helpful.“

“The food and service was very good. The person that was assigned to clean the dining area did a wonderful job, everything was perfectly clean. The reason why I didn't give it 5 stars was because the AC didn't seem up to par but it was comfortable enough to have an enjoyable meeting.

Vegetarian options: A very wide selection

Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of seating“

“Delicious hot baked potatoes. Just what we needed on a cold day in Des Moines!“

“The atmosphere was very laid back, the food was really good we got buffalo egg rolls, spinach artichoke dip for appetizers I got the Philly cheesesteak and fries and friend got the Nutty Buddy Burger with Cole slaw we really enjoyed both appetizers and our meals. Service was quick and I appreciated how nice our server was also I assume the manager or lead but she kept coming over to make sure we were satisfied and that our food was tasting good! Definitely recommend! The food was a little pricey are tab came to 66$ with no alcoholic beverages but really good!“
