“Stopped in for a drink after work and had a wonderful experience. The food was flavorful and provided a wonderful new insight to Neapolitan pizza that I hadn’t yet experienced.The open concept layout is inviting and creates an intimate experience where you can actually see your order prepared and fired in the ovens.Brady provided wonderful service and made sure that I was always taken care of and had everything I needed. Evelyn also was very kind and has an intoxicating smile that makes you feel right at home.Overall, I had a wonderful experience and will absolutely be coming back to experience more of the wonderful food and service that Franka has to offer.“
“I had been eyeing this place for a while & was so excited to try it out. We were met with a nice atmosphere, quick service & delicious food + beer! The food was delivered ridiculously fast & we enjoyed the 5oz beer option as we were able to try more of what Lua has to offer.“
“I highly recommend Black Cat Ice Cream! They have a lot of unique homemade ice cream flavors that are creative and seasonably appropriate. It’s a fun experience with the ice cream options and the atmosphere in the shop and outdoor seating options. I’ve tried their scoops of ice cream, and the ice cream nuggets dipped in fudge. It doesn’t matter what I get, so far I’ve been happy with my selections each time. If you love ice cream and are looking for something fun and unique, this is the place for you!“
“I hosted my husband's 50th birthday party at the Station, and their back room was having the Nightmare on Ingersol, so they had some tables reserved for us. We ended up with more than the tables would hold, and they did an amazing job of getting to people quickly, and made the night great, from the 8 year old, to the birthday boy with some people getting food, and getting drinks to everyone. Many thanks to you!“
“I'm a hop snob, growing my own hops on trellises in southwest Iowa. Been a huge fan of Sierra Nevada, Stone, and Laughing Dog. When I encountered Confluence's Des Moines IPA - Double Dry Hopped, it instantly became my number one. What a perfect balance of subtle but not overwhelming sweetness with a crisp wet hoppiness that doesn't overwhelm. Getting this balance right is insanely tough.Got to tour Confluence and was even more of a fan. What a fantastic operation, with a passion for innovation. They may be Iowa's best microbrewery but I'm telling my boys at Sierra Nevada, you've got one hell of a competitor nipping at your heels!Confluence is a beer you can be proud of drinking, for its taste, its innovation, and its commitment to its communities.“
“I came here expecting to only be served malts, but contrary to the name, they offer much more than just that! Various ice cream novelties, bottled water, and napkins are served for prices that adjust with inflation. They even serve puppy cones, that's just another reason why I wish I was a dog! There was no indoor seating, but I guess that's how they keep their ice cream recipe secret from the public. My go-to order is a turtle sundae without the nuts and caramel, it's a state of ice cream rapture!“
“The whole experience from top to bottom is an absolute “SMASH”. The bar staff, and specifically Alyssa, are top shelf. She was fun, had a good knowledge of all the beers on tap, and was never too far when you needed a refill. I’d give em 10 stars if I could!“
“The food was delicious. The atmosphere was great. HOWEVER, our server was EXCEPTIONAL. In most cases, wait staff will make or break an experience for fine dining. Charismatic, friendly, and helpful was what we got tonight. We don’t make it out to the Waukee area often but I’m so glad we did tonight! Thank you Lauren for a special night out.You went above and beyond to make our experience one that we absolutely couldn’t forget. :)“
“The food! The food! We have been here multiple times and tried several dishes. They have all been delicious beyond words and filling! I don’t drink beer so I wish they had more cocktails, which are premixed. But the food makes up for it!“
“My lulu and I really enjoyed paws and pints. It was a bit overwhelming at first but he always takes a little bit to adjust and get comfortable. Make sure to download the app and vaccine records before you get there. Had a couple cold ones and a few hours in the sun“
“Place was packed. Had the atmosphere of your favorite neighborhood establishment. The waitress recommended we join a table with another gentleman, who turned out to be a regular patron, and we had a very pleasant visit w/him. Ordered the Bubba Burger and it was excellent; especially liked the flavor of the "Sully" sauce. If we are ever in the Des Moines area again, Sully's will definitely be on our must stop list.“
“Everything so far I've tried has been amazing. Went in to try 1 of the new seasonal flavors and it was good. Got the Kettlecorn hot latte. The workers are always nice. Also I recommend getting the solar strawberry energy drink ?.Parking: It's a drive up so there's no parking but usually super fast service so.“
“The food was excellent! I had the short-rib tacos and would definitely get those again. It's a fun environment, family friendly. We waited a long time for a server to arrive but otherwise the service was fine. The drinks are okay. I would recommend this place for the great food.“
“Genevieve is the literal best server I’ve ever had in my entire life. She was so efficient and knowledgeable about the menu and drinks and so friendly and welcoming while my husband and I were so unfamiliar with the menu. She served us good food and good drinks and we can not wait to come back !! A++++ service !!!“
“Last week was my 1st time here, but the staff treated me like an old friend. & the pizza was amaaazing. While waiting for my food, there was a little girl who was dancing & fell (she was alright). The staff were very kind to her & even gave her a big cookie to have for dessert!“
“Ice cream was pretty tasty, but I remember wishing I’d order something more “fun” I suppose. They also don’t accept cash which put me in an awkward situation. The environment is genuinely old school, people waiting outside, order at the window vibes!“
“We celebrated my son’s 9th birthday at the pelican post today and I wish I could leave a 20 star review! The food was amazing, the staff was very friendly, and the service was top notch! Mel and Emma were amazing and we will definitely be back! Thanks for a great meal and great experience!“
“OPA Italian & Greek for the win tonight! After being on vacation for Christmas and new years this is a great welcome home!!! Jon Ochoa and the staff were very welcoming! The place was packed! It was fun to get the suburban in the parking spot! The only thing I dislike here! I went out on a limb and got the Mediterranean steak over a bed of vegetables. I’m gonna try this fad diet again it’s the new year rite! The wife got our normal the chicken parmigiana Diablo! Gosh I love that dish but doing this low carb thing!! And of course gotta have the Cabernet to go with the meal!!!! Win win great service amazing food and where else can you go that feels like your at home!!!“
“This is such a great meeting spot right in the heart of Beaverdale. I love that they also have locally made gifts and cards. Definitely a place to check out for your caffeine fix (they have a drive thru if you are in transit) or need a meeting spot for work or social..... today I saw a small knitting group!“
“~*Sprockets is a cool vibe. It’s a sports bar type atmosphere. The breakfast was pretty good. I tried the dish and grits. I’ve enjoyed beverages as well. I love the owners and a couple of the girls who bartend. They have made my experience there super fun. They make some fun cocktails as well. Jamie is the vibe for it!*~Parking: It’s always been plenty of parking and easy.“
“Stopped in for a quick beer and ended up having an entire meal! The build a burger was fantastic and prepared just as I requested, I wouldn’t consider this restaurant like anything else in the mall, it is awesome! Very clean with a courteous staff and the manager (Cole) was really on top of his game. I will definitely be back!“
“Was meeting a couple friends from work & decided this place looked fun & had decent reviews. Nice looking place with a lot of seating. I thought the prices seemed very fair for the amount of food you get, and the food was good. Waiter wasn't unfriendly, but not super friendly on the same note. Just had that mood like he didn't want to be there, but got the job done.The arcade was nice, but more for kids than adults, in my opinion. It was fun to play some retro arcade games & pinball though. The play cards were nice, instead of putting cash in the game every time. Seems you build points on the card, instead of receiving tickets. It is handy, but kind of confusing at times when you check balances on the card. Yep, I'm old & not up on todays tech, and I'm okay with that. Still a nice place and would visit again for the food.Parking: Doubt it was the businesses fault, but parking lot was a pain, due to all the snow. It was hard to get around the aisles due to snow banks at the south end of the aisles. Mall service who cleans the lot, could've pushed the snow further back. Wound up parking a ways away instead of messing around with that tight spaced area. Good news is, when the snow melts, won't be an issue.“
“Loved coming to 7 Brew when I’d visit Bentonville, Arkansas! It’s SO popular down there!! So HAPPY they brought them to Des Moines!! :) Such good coffee and kind staff! My dog loves their pupcups too ;)Dietary restrictions: Offer dairy free milks.Kid-friendliness: No alcoholic drinks. Non-coffee drinks. Food options.“
