27 Best Bar & Grill near Grimes

“I’ve been a regular here for years until I moved to another city but I still work in Grimes and I got my co workers food today from here. The bartender was super nice on the phone and in person. When we got the food back to my office everything was perfect. The food was amazing. My boss who usually trashes anything I order if it isn’t something in his usual food places, well he absolutely loved it and said next time we ever get burgers that’s where we are going from this point on! Thanks again Uptown!“

“Our happy place to visit in grimes. Pool, darts, pizza and always a fun time!“

“Absolutely love everything about this place! It's perfect for brunch, business meetings, date nights, and everything in between.

“Couldn’t recommend this place enough. We had a wonderful time tonight for a work outing. Called and made a reservation a week prior. Decor, atmosphere, and vibe was phenomenal. Our waitress, Kennedy, was a joy to have—attentive, friendly, and upbeat! Food was delicious! I think that’s one of the best breaded tenderloins I have had. It was thick, juicy, flavorful, and delicious! And what a pleasant surprise to be able to play DJ Bingo while there! It was truly a great time! Will be back!“

“Driving back to Denver from Chicago, this spot was recommended by a gal at my hotel. Rolled over to the moose late on a Monday and found myself at the bar. Struck up some great conversations with the bar tender and a few locals. Really appreciated the friendly and divey atmosphere. I would definitely come back if I am in Des Moines again.“

“Great new bar! The layout is fantastic and perfect for live music lovers.“

“absolutely phenomenal food especially the Fresno Burger and with fries for only 9 bucks it's a steal you can't get that anywhere else I highly recommend this to tourists or locals have never tried it“

“Nick’s is always a win! If you’re there, you are family. The staff truly cares that your experience is spectacular. The food is amazing and the atmosphere is top-notch. Twice a month I meet up with a wonderful friend to sit at the bar, eat some snacks, and enjoy a bourbon or martini while she drinks wine. Even with the rarity of my visits, the bartenders treat me like a regular and work to get to know me. You cannot match the level of service! I typically stay for a short amount of time, eat while I’m there, and also take food home for my high school aged children. The to go food is always perfectly packaged and delicious even if it sits on the counter for a bit while we finish our conversation and settle bills. I cannot recommend Nick’s enough. I almost hate to post this review and ruin the truly beautiful experience.“

“My lunch today at Saints Pub in Waukee, with two dear friends, was truly wonderful. My blackened salmon was tender and fabulous, and our server, Gerardo, was very helpful and attentive. Being able to relax on the patio on such a beautiful day was the cherry on top. We'll definitely be back!“

“Great Monday night pizza specials and drink specials! Pizza 1/2 price 1.75 well drinks till 8pm. Great deal!!! Friendly place to to chill!“

“Great service and the band was really good!“

“Great food and excellent service. Very easy to work with when planning an event. We tried a few different cocktails and they were fantastic“

“Ate breakfast here when visiting family. The service was great. The food was delicious. Our whole experience was perfect. I had my work mask with me and they asked me if I worked for Hy-Vee and I do, so I did get my discount that. Thanks. Will eat there again.“

“Really good service here. One of the better HyVees in the area. People are friendly too unlike the folks at the wall to wall. Maybe I’ll hold off before heading to Fareway.“

“Good place to have a drink 🥃“

“Self check out normally is a disaster but today I got helped by Michelle.T and she was awesome. She was able to multitask and help with questions along with making sure we got out of there without a hassle. Amazing food and well trained staff. Michelle T working the self check out line on Saturday June 10th was the best so far though“

“My favorite Fast and Fresh. When the Fast and Fresh across from Bucs arena said their kitchen was closed, the gentlemen at the Merle Hay Fast and Fresh said "we'll make it". I go there all the time and I have never had a bad experience!“

“Hello, I wanted to recognize the staff of the Chinese buffet at the above location. They had very good patience with me and my confusion of their menu. They accommodated my requests and the gentlemen, two asian men, did an excellent job in taking my order and taking care of my dinner. I want to apologize if I caused any stress and frustration for them by my questions and the delay to serve the rest of the guests behind me ready to order. I'm so sorry, and appreciate these men for taking time helping me. I really appreciate your hard work and want to tell you both thank you for your excellent service! Thank you, Cherry“

“Gabby Smithman. I am Bosnian. That is a Bosnian restaurant. A Iced Tea is named something different in our language. Just cause some of the menu isn't in American text doesn't means it's bad. Why are you judging a restaurant literally over being Bosnian.“

“Stellar Experience for Our Corporate 2024 Summer Social at Wellman’s Rooftop
I recently had the pleasure of hosting our company’s summer social at Wellman’s Rooftop, and I can’t praise the experience enough! From start to finish, the customer support was truly exceptional.
Annie was incredibly responsive and worked closely with me throughout the planning process. She listened to our needs and provided valuable suggestions that made the event seamless. The professionalism and attention to detail from the entire staff really stood out.
Now, let’s talk about the food! The menu catered to a variety of dietary preferences, and everything served was delicious—our guests raved about the options available!
On the day of the event, it was clear that Wellman’s Rooftop takes pride in their service. They ensured everything was set up perfectly, allowing us to focus on enjoying the festivities rather than worrying about logistics. The staff was attentive yet unobtrusive, making sure our guests had everything they needed.
Overall, I highly recommend Wellman’s Rooftop for any corporate event. Their exceptional customer support, delightful food, and flawless execution made our summer social a memorable success. We will definitely be returning for future events!“
