About Local Bites

Local Bites, a hidden gem below ground in downtown Des Moines, offers a variety of food options, including Teriyaki Boys and Fernando's. While some dishes may lack sauce, the experience and speed of service make it a favorite spot for many. The restaurant is kid-friendly with plenty of choices for little ones, despite slightly uncomfortable seating. The parking ramp is convenient yet pricey. Perfect for a quick and satisfying lunch for downtown workers, although some meals could use less oil. Visitors also enjoy the lively Sunday markets, where vendors and fresh baked goods like sourdough bread from Nanna's add to the vibrant atmosphere. The restaurant provides a good variety of options from different vendors, making it a great spot for many tastes. However, it’s best to avoid visiting on Saturdays when only a few places are open, and staff are limited. Overall, Local Bites is a popular spot for a quick, tasty, and lively lunch experience in downtown Des Moines.
