Feels clean, unlike many local sports bars. Comfortable neighborhood pub feel. Friendly prompt service.
Very good pizza, and GREAT onion rings! The onions were sliced thinly with a light breading that stayed on the onion. The homemade ranch was tasty.
The Friday $1 off local beer was not reflected on the bill but the waitress pointed us to the daily special of salad with $10" pizza.
We will return

Fun trivia night! (We came in first place!) Creative and tasty tavern style pizza. Good crust. Good sauce! Had a BBQ pork pizza and the French Dip pizza. That was delicious!?

The food is fantastic, they have a large selection of local beers, and the staff is amazing. It's a great place to go for food, drinks and/or to watch a game (especially if it's Royals or Chiefs).

I've lived in Des Moines for 10years. Yesterday was my first visit to Truman's. The service was outstanding. Angela is an awesome waitress. I'll be returning soon. I very highly recommend this place

9/26/24 I ordered delivery. My order was the breaded Pork Tenderloin Sandwich with a side of onion rings. The Tenderloin Sandwich was big and meaty. The onion rings are thin and were too dark for me and not much onion flavor. I think it's the quality of the onions they use.

We drove by planning on going elsewhere but U turned. We are so happy we did! Great selection of beer, wings were perfect! I had the breaded pork tenderloin sandwich. It wasn't one of those overly huge ones pounded paper thin. This was a tad larger than the bun and thick. Flavor was perfect. Hubby had the meatball sandwich; very pleased. We will be back to try the pizzas!

Biscuits and gravy pizza was to die for. However, we did have to wait about 30 to 45 minutes for the kitchen to deliver the food after ordering. We were in good company and had some good football games going so we didn’t really mind the wait.

Good pizza and nice outdoor seating. Nice local dinner stop after the IA State Fair. Wings were good, but personally felt they could have been cooked a little longer. There was a a band playing outside and they were busy, but service was good.

Just the prefect join to be with friends for drinks, pizza, music and watchingsports. The place isn't that big which makes it more cozy with a comfortable ambient.

One of my favorite restaurants in Des Moines. Pizza is great. Aps are great (funnel cake fries are a must). The place is also pretty small with a 10/10 patio.
