Great place for dinner with friends or family, perfect for after work apps and drinks, but it is the staff that truly defines the OP! Shout out to Shavelle, Jen, Brianna, Abby, and Jocelyn, y’all and the rest of the OP team!

Service was pretty slow. Waited a long bit for both our food and the ability to pay.

It was a good experience with delicous food. If you are going to get bar food in the Des Moines area then this is my reccomendation. Go here and not the Ankeny location. You get better Service and much better food.

Not going to lie I go here for the fried mushrooms, they are the best! I’m not a fan of the loud environment but willing to put that aside for the mushrooms. This place is basically bar food, it’s a decent local place after work or if you want to pick something up on your way home. Service can be hit or miss, depends on the day and time of day. If you place an order for pick up always call in your order because they will charge the menu in restaurant price, if you order through the website you will pay far more for everything. Summer time they have bands which is nice but again super loud and difficult to hear the people at your table. The last time I was there I noticed how old and worn the menus were, you could barely read them but I knew what I wanted from previous visits. I would love to see more lights in this place and attention to detail would go a long way. Sometimes you can find coupons in your value pack.
Adding a comment that 4 months after this post, costs for ordering pick up seems to have increased. It’s getting too expensive for what you get and they don’t deliver.

Wasn't very busy for a Saturday night. Food was ok. Breading on the mushrooms was excessive. We were on a road trip to find the best breaded pork tenderloin and this one was the best we had. We had split it so what you see is half of it. Great portion sizes. Service left something to be desired. Was passing thru and it was recommended.

I asked for grilled mushrooms on my taco salad. I'm glad they put them on raw so I could see what I would be eating. They put raw, slimy, dirty mushrooms. The piece in the second picture was COVERED IN DIRT! I could not believe that anyone would let that come into the kitchen. I sent it back and couldn't even order anything else I was so disgusted. Especially since they were slimy (obviously bad). I'm still so baffled that they let this leave the kitchen.

My server was very apologetic. She was extremely kind and just serving what the kitchen gave her.

We ordered GF pizza for pick up. They called later to say they were out of GF dough and if we would need to wait for manager to get more or order something else. We said we would wait. When we went to pick it up they didn’t charge us. Fabulous customer service, wasn’t expecting that!!

Food hit the spot. The iced water was tasty, Our server was very good. Atmosphere- the lighting at our table was very dark and hard to read the menu. And, the AC was cranked so It was cold in the restaurant.
