Pizzas were delicious, especially the #7 with chicken, bacon, spinach, and feta with balsamic, and the $10 happy hour price was great!

Eatery A Brunch on the patio was delicious. The food was great. The patio was delightful. Strongly recommend for those interested in a nice brunch on Ingersoll!
Robin
Just ok. Food was nothing spectacular. Took our waiter at least 20 minutes to come to our table to begin with. Would try this again and maybe just order pizza for lunch.

The food at Eatery A is always superb. Our service was ok-but not ideal, though it was very busy, so I don't want to be harsh. The noise level can be a bit much, but the food keeps me coming back! Pick a week day if you want a quieter atmosphere.

Everything was great except we made a reservation for 4:30 on the patio and when we got there they said it would be 40 min for the patio. That was a let down. But everything else was great food great as usual
Amy
Great food in happy hour prices would be expensive for what it is if it wasn't for happy hour.
Pierre
Always new flavors and great options whether it's small plates or entrees. Excellent for gluten- free options if need be. Leave room for dessert :)
Marika
The large selection of vegetarian options is so great. Service might have been considered slow, but allowed for uninterrupted conversation.
Tamara
Excellent food. Nice ambiance. It did get pretty loud as more people filled tables. Server was friendly and efficient.
Kathi
The food was great. There were four of us and we shared everything, so we took advantage of the “three for” and “two for” offerings. It was a lot to keep track of and our server did a great job. BUT, It is really LOUD!
Busy afternoon, love the happy hour offerings.Tables a re very very close together. Lamb sliders and roasted beets were great.
Opentable Diner
Great service. Very attentive staff. But 2 pizzas with a drink each was still over $50 even on happy hour.

There is not a restaurant in the Des Moines metro that provides a better value than Eatery A, especially during their happy hour.

Food was wonderful, cocktails were spot on & dessert was amazing! Servers were friendly & knowledgeable. Venue was definitely packed, very busy weekend night. Enjoyed ourselves thoroughly

09/28/2024 Eatery A It had been a few years since we have been at Eatery A, mostly due to being new in the area and exploring new venues rather than repeating at a known location. Once again, we were extremely pleased with this stop as in the end, I gave it one of the few full 5* ratings that I have ever given. This place truly has it all - unique and tasty food, a great atmosphere, friendly service and value that is above average for the downtown! If you have the treat of being served by Vee - tell her 'Hi' from The Food and Drink Guy, as she is a gem!
Tonight, we celebrated my wife's Birthday - exploring the menu beyond the pizza's we had on previous visits to the other Mediterranean delights as recommended by our server, Vee. Tonight we truly shared everything - starting with the Two for Delicacies: Bacon Wrapped Dates & Meatballs (see pictures). We followed that up with a Three for $35 Skewer: Swordfish, Chicken Shawarma & Sirloin Tip (see picture). All of them were delicious and highly recommended, but our favorite was the Bacon Wrapped Dates!
Lastly, if you follow my posts, you know how hard it is for me to leave a restaurant without having some type of sweets. Tonight was no different, although it was free for my wife's Birthday. We opted for the Salted Caramel Budino (see picture) and while we have had it before - we truly relished every spoonful. It was sweet, rich and awesome - especially given the smaller portion size that didn't leave us feeling too guilty!
You will love a stop here for your next meal out...and if you want to sample a few things at a bargain price, they have one of the best true 1/2 price Happy Hours in the area!
July 2021 We stopped here for dinner on our anniversary based on an online rating and really liked it. It is very clean, modern and 'chic' (see pictures).
I highly recommend stopping between 3 and 6 to take advantage of the Happy Hour (we did). We sampled several beers and a delicious wood fire pizza (see pictures) - all at 1/2 price!
On the waitress' recommendation we ordered the #10 pizza (...meat & hot honey). As the name implied it was a perfect combination of pepperoni and spicy Italian sausage along with just a tinge of sweetness from the honey. It was just perfect for the 2 of us to share.
Lastly don't leave without trying one of the desserts. Again based on the waitress' recommendation we went with the Salted Caramel Budino (see picture). It wasn't quite what we expected but oh, it was so good! It was a delicious pudding/tapioca (chantilly cream) with some sprinkles of dark chocolate on the top and a dollop of salted caramel. Dessert Bliss!!
This is definitely a place you'll want to try!
