New American Restaurants near Grimes, IA

“Amazing Happy Hour today for my Nephew's Birthday! Incredible food all on the $5 menu!! Can't rave enough about the food and service!! We will definitely be back!“

“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!“

“We had our wedding dinner tonight at Harbinger. Low-key, just the two of us. We were treated with such kindness and respect from everyone, including the chef who made concessions to his tasting menu for my wife’s sugar issues. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. We visit Harbinger we are blown away by the quality of our dining experience.“

“We celebrated my father's 90th birthday at The Oak with a party of nine, and the entire evening was absolutely unforgettable.

From the moment we arrived, Katie took incredible care of us. She was warm, professional, organized, and managed every detail flawlessly. Her service made such a special occasion feel effortless, allowing our family to simply enjoy being together.

The food was exceptional. The potato gnocchi was outstanding, the filets were cooked to perfection, the salmon was tender and flavorful, the pork chops were juicy, and the duck was absolutely delicious. Every single dish that came to the table was beautifully prepared and exceeded our expectations. The drinks were loved by all.

A special touch was the gentleman who walked us through the tea selection with such knowledge and enthusiasm—it made the experience feel even more thoughtful and refined.

Then came the birthday cake, and it was the perfect ending to a spectacular meal. The portion was just right after such a wonderful dinner, and the flavor was incredible. It had the perfect balance of sweetness with a depth and elegance that's hard to describe—you simply have to experience it for yourself.

Thank you to everyone at The Oak for making my father's 90th birthday so memorable. You gave our family an evening we'll never forget, and we can't wait to come back.“

“My husband and I have eaten at Aura at least 5 times. We've also hosted group dinners there. The food is FANTASTIC, and the mussels are absolutely delicious. And I'm from the NW, I know delicious mussels! The ONLY thing keeping me from giving it a 5 STAR review is that the music is too loud, and it's monotonous. Please, serve quiet, enjoyable music to go along with your wonderful food.“

“Absolutely fabulous experience! Food was very clean tasting, fresh, simply delicious! Wonderful family owned business!“

“A go-to cozy neighborhood staple that never disappoints. Amazing specialty cocktails, great juicy burgers and best salmon in town.“

“The BEST sour beers I’ve had!“

“Stumbled on this place while just looking for the nearest spot for lunch, and what a happy accident! It just needs a bit more lighting/signage out front, since I almost drove right past it without noticing. But once inside, the ambiance is lovely, cozy and welcoming. I had the chicken pita and it was absolutely delicious. Service was great and the price is very reasonable for the quality. Give them a try, you won’t regret it!“

“Amazing food and awesome service! nice quiet hidden gem in Clive! 10/10!“

“We always have a great time at Gilroy’s, but tonight went above and beyond! When our server found out we were celebrating my birthday, not only did she bring me a dessert on the house, but she also brought me a birthday card signed by the staff and a coupon for my next visit. She even caught that I’d ordered a vegetarian meal and a mocktail and tailored the coupon accordingly. It was so thoughtful and I wish I would have caught her name because she was truly incredible and deserves a shout out!“

“Sunday was our server. He was kind, talkative and attentive and we will ask for him next time!!!“

“Have you guys heard of Kalona SuperNatural organic dairy? Would love to hear what you think.“

“The floral shop!! So impressed today on how they have it set-up and decorated for Valentines Day. Someone is real creative and they show so many good ideas for Valentine’s. Talked with Lory, so sweet and very helpful even as busy as she was.“

“I went through the drive in and was greeted by a friendly young girl who took my order. She came back with my order within a few minutes. The order was correct and I was on my way. I had the Chicago dog w/no tomatoes. The food was wonderful, and I considered it to be a real bargain. Oh yeah, I'm coming back.“

“I went to B Bops on my Bycycle to both get exercise and feed my fat face between 11:00-11:30pm on 4/18/21. They were super busy and as can happen in BUSY FAST FOOD SITUATIONS, mistakes do occur. They WILL occur. The question with B Bops or any other business is where do you go from there? Well in my case B Bops solved my Number 9 Burger and Fires problem with consummate professionalism not seen not seen since the Roman Siege of Alesia in 52 BC. Now some among you might say "Sean that is TOO PROFESSIONAL."🥴, to that I say how would you know? You weren't there man! 5/5 would def go again. B-Bops Invicta. McDonalds Delenda Est.“

“Always good! Super busy today, inside and out, but the food came out fast. Tables were all clean. Yummy.“
