Arugula & Rye, located in the Des Moines airport, offers surprisingly delicious food at reasonable prices. Travelers have raved about their Cuban sandwich, featuring thick pork, ham, melted Swiss, pickles, and special mustard sauce, described as juicy and tender, one of the best ever tasted. Another customer enjoyed the 12" x 4" pizza with sausage, red onion, and mushrooms, noting the thin and flaky crust and fantastic cheese. The Buffalo Chicken Flat Bread is also highly recommended, with a customer stating it was the best they've had in a long time.
In addition to these popular dishes, the avocado toast is a great option for those looking for healthier choices, and the staff is willing to customize meals, such as making it on egg instead of toast. Despite some slow service due to making and toasting sandwiches to order, the staff received praise for their friendliness. Arugula & Rye seems to be a hidden gem in the airport, with customers willing to travel just to enjoy their delicious meals, though some have noted unexpected charges for water cups. Overall, this restaurant leaves a positive impression, making it a go-to spot for frequent travelers.
