Good Eatin's American •
2412 48th Pl, Des Moines - 4.61 miles

“We went to Confluence Brewery to listen to Seth Jamison sing solo and play the acoustic guitar. While we were there, we tried Good Eatin's food truck. The food was good. I'm giving them 4 stars, only because I didn't order my brisket grilled cheese sandwich. Someone else picked it out. It would not have been my first option. Hey! It was free, and I didn't have to think about what to select. It was tasty and filling. My people thought the street tacos were delicious, and my dad thought the batter on the catfish was just o.k. (he cooks a lot, so he's picky). I will try them again during Ragbrai, and I will give a 2nd review.“

“This place is wonderful, but they don't really have their mascot or Mac sauce (Slim Sauce is ok but not memorable nor is it well maketed). I feel like if they figured out their identity that they could be almost as big as chick fil A, if not bigger since they're open on Sundays. Also, if they figured out a way to do a value meal and run ads in this time, they would totally be able to take advantage of this current hot commodity.

Marketing is currently holding them from their full potential!“
