Went on a Saturday night. It was busy but not crowded. Live acoustic guitar player. Great draft beer selection. Try the Left Hand Milk Stout. Didn't eat but the food looked good.

The flour taco is by far the best!!! We don't frequent often as we really can only do a date night. We have came on a weekend with kids and they enjoyed the food but really not very family friendslly with seating choices and it just the darkness. No kids meals. But if the main aspect is more of a bar I totally understand and respect that. Also the blonde bartender/server rocks it. And so friendly.

4.25* (out of 5) Food: 5* Atmosphere: 4* Value: 4* Service: 4* 02/01/2024 I stopped in here doing some research for my Happy Hour site (www.happyhourdesmoines.com) several months ago and have been wanting to get back to try their food ever since. The opportunity presented itself when a friend and I met after work - deciding to give Pally's a try. We started with a round of drinks while deciding on food - ordering the daily special Margarita (see picture) and White Russian (see picture). Both were very tasty and a great value given their size and price (albeit the daily specials). For our meals, my friend ordered the Frisco Burger (see picture) and I opted for the Torpedo Burger (see picture), given a strong positive recommendation from our server (who was also great - excellent service and covering the whole, packed bar by herself). We both really liked our burgers! The pictures don't do them enough justice - they were both prepared perfectly, as per our requested level and both very flavorful. Definitely a place I'll want to bring my wife and neighbors back to sometime in the future. If you found this review helpful, please show your appreciation with a Like or a Follow.

I just moved to the area and was really craving a patty melt. Based off reviews I tried this restaurant - it wasn’t good. I spoke to the employee at the restaurant (didn’t give her name) a couple of times and she was awesome. Honestly, her service was the only reason why I didn’t give one star. She answered all of my questions patiently even though she was the only one working. Please give her recognition for her customer skills.Patty melt was both dry and greasy, lacking flavor, and had very little cheese. The fries look and taste like what you can get from the freezer section at your grocery store…just overly salted. However the biggest disappointment was the pasta salad. I love a good pasta salad and this was not even close. It was literally rotini pasta drowning in store bought dressing with a few bits of carrot and black olives.The service was great but the food definitely needs some work.

1st time here. Met a friend for dinner after work. Daily specials available. Patty melt and chicken sandwiches were good, unfortunately the onion rings were all bits and pieces and no rings. Good selection of drinks.
Great local bar. It's definitely worth the visit. I'll be back!

Great place to eat, have a drink, and friendly people. Atmosphere is upbeat fast paced but still enjoyable by yourself or with friends.

I was greeted immediately upon walking in the door. That's a nice sign. She remains friendly the entire time. I had a drink within two minutes of walking in--they have a decent selection of crafts/locals versus domestics. I went with the Citrus Surfer the first time and availed myself of their Bloody Mary the second time. The contents include a pickle spear, olives, and a strip of bacon. I believe they used zing zang for the mix.Kinda sticky inside and a somewhat depressing atmosphere. Also an oddity occurred--a glass mysteriously fell off a nearby table with no one sitting there and it crashed to the floor.I did not partake in the food this time; I did upload their menu as of August 2023.
