Got takeout here as we travel from NYC to Denver- it was awesome. Got the veggie tacos and salad and my daughter got a burger. Super pleased, but they forget our lemonade. Highly recommend if you’re in Des Moines.

Great place for quality moderately priced food. Had the Royal Chicken sandwich, excellent! A patron next to me had the Chicken Tacos so I know what I'm getting next time.Update: went back months later and had the Chicken Tacos, they were the real deal.3/19/2024: went back and had the Buffalo Chicken sandwich special with Mac and Cheese (pictured). It was delicious.

Nice hidden away little restaurant. Perfect place to go out to meet someone for let's say a first date.

This is my second time here. The first time was in 2021. Great food, both times! I highly recommend the mahi tacos and cold soba noodle salad! Amazing happy hour deals and daily specials! Really, please check them out! The staff was hilarious both times. Great ambience!

The Walnut is one of our favorite spots in the city. The food is always on point, BEST wings in the city, the service is great, and it's family friendly.

We recently held our Company holiday party at The Walnut. Couldn't be any happier. Ben did a great job with accommodating our requests, the food was outstanding and I can compliment the staff enough! Great job all the way around and we will be going back!

During a business trip to Des Moines, I had the opportunity to have dinner at The Walnut. Food is great, service was great and the drinks were great. The ice cream dessert was probably one of the best I’ve had in a long time.

We loved this place. The food was great and our server was really nice. We loved the atmosphere. The chicken buffalo dip was tasty. I had the wasabi salad and oh my it was good but it was so spicy. The pesto pasta and burner burger were great. We will be coming back.
