10 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Des Moines

“Great local food with excellent service!“

“Loved the friendly service and the food was great...we will be back!!“

“Today's late breakfast was my first visit to an IHOP location. No Kiddin'! The "Meet & Seat" was speedy, we even got our preferred comfy booth, and it was comfy. Server Gina arrives before my seat was warm, to bring menus and take drink orders. She's back in no time with a smile, a pot of coffee and cups. The IHOP coffee is good!

My sweetie likes omelets. Meat, cheese, eggs. No veggies. No fuss. Cheerful Gina helps build my sweetie's preferred omelet with hash browns, of course. This IS Iowa! We're chatting and mixing our coffee when hot food arrives. Speedy Indeedy!

The Missus says her omelet was awesome! I grade a new restaurant by their country fried steak and eggs. My country fried steak was full-tummy sized. Eggs, hashbrowns and pancakes are included. My dilemma was, what to eat first while it was hot. My order was perfectly cooked and delicious! No, I didn't finish all of it.

Gina knows her business and soon arrives with to-go boxes and the bill. Price was reasonable, food quality was great, service was excellent. "Have a Blessed Day" and we have!

5 stars for this first visit! We are sure to return.

Vegetarian options: None. Animals are made of meat. We like eating them!

Parking: Fun Fact: My pancakes are the same size as the serving plate. Care must be taken not to overflow the plate with warm syrup! Or, just eat faster!“

“Biscuits and gravy were dry“

“Good place in Ankeny to meet for breakfast. I've turned others onto the breakfast egg rolls. My brother-in-law is hooked. If you want something on the lighter side try the Thai fried rice with egg n veggies. Ask for extra sauce on the side. Dad had the steak n egg n cleaned his plate. The breakfast burrito are ginormous. Enjoy the Des Moines based chain. There's something for everyone“

“Service was fast and friendly. Restaurant was clean and food was great. Perfect place to meet for Thanksgiving.“

“I’ve been coming to PerKup Cafe since it opened in Urbandale in 2011“

“Our server, Shianne was amazing!“

“Every time I go here with my niece and nephew, we always leave with a smile on our face. The food is so good. The atmosphere is amazing quite loud sometimes but it’s a public establishment. I’m not picky. They’ve always gotten my order right and it’s tasty.

Parking: Plenty of spots for its location.

Kid-friendliness: Every time I take my niece and nephew here they have a blast, and the staff is so kind to them.

Wheelchair accessibility: All wheelchair handicap spots are directly in front of the building so easy access.“

“We were seated fast m, water came fast, with smiles as always. Of course uf you treat ppl nice, they treat you nice. If you come in high and act like your high, ppl, even service ppl shy away from you. Our waitress, Krista does an excellent service for us!“
