Was just there about 1/2hr ago. My double cheeseburger was barely warm and the fries were awful. They must have been reheated cuz they were hard, to salty, and not tasty at all. It had been awhile since I ate there and I won't be back food terrible. Speaker not working so had to go to the window to order. Must have been only one person working. Too bad the orginial Littlejohns isn't here anymore thats when the food was awesome as was the service.

Tenderloin was off the hook, fries and mushrooms were just as hot and the staff was pleasant. Best fast food on the North and East side of Des Moines

I came here with my son for lunch. We had a tenderloin and bacon cheeseburger with fries. They nailed them 100% on all 3! We’ll be back!

Here's the thing about Little John's: you are either going to have an awesome perfect burger or are you going to get one poorly reheated + just yucky.
In my experience it depends on what time of the day you go. Weekends just in my experience have been bad luck with a younger crew that is overwhelmed whether to lack of tools and resources or training. I don't know.
Then you've got adult crew during the weekday lunch shift and they don't seem to always get it down perfectly for me.

The fries here where AMAZING! The burger was alright but nothing special. I'd definitely recommend trying this place out. It looks kind of sketchy on the outside but sometimes those are the best places. Im absolutely going to give it another go and see what it think.

This is the second time I purchased a parfait this time I asked for caramel and pecans. Maybe I'm thinking you guys had the right cups before, due to dairy Queen . The cups are wrong shape. Every time you take the lid off ice cream and syrup drains out the all around. It makes a big mess.

The food made us sick. My wife heard the cook say that the cooler door has not been shut and the onion rings were soft.
Their restroom was out of order, and they recommended the furniture store across street.
My love for this joint started a long time ago and stays strong today!
It has changed with the times, but only gotten better. Shakes and burgers have always satisfied but the addition of full ice cream service some years back makes this neighborhood classic a double threat. Heck think of it as a triple threat for good times if you toss in great service and cleanliness to boot! Always sharp, always good, always helpful!
Thanks for the memories LJ’s! Let’s keep it going!

Love Little Johns!!! Have been coming here for over 25 years. The breaded mushrooms are really good. Amazing for a fast food place. They have NEVER once gotten my order wrong or forgotten ranch or ketchup. Love it all!!

Shakes as great as they always were. Hamburger juicy with lots of meat.
