“We went to rolling wok in Grimes for lunch today and left with leftovers for dinner to!!! The food was so delicious, he had pad Thai (top) and I had Pad See Ew. We both got medium spice level, and it was just the perfect level for me bc I'm a wimp when it comes to spicy. The atmosphere is so warm and inviting, the staff was amazing, friendly and informative. She kept our glasses full and checked on us. We will definitely go back; it's our new favorite Chinese restaurant ❣️❣️❣️❣️“

“The staff is super friendly food is so good!!!“

“Best wings in DSM! The honey garlic is a must try. Always fast and fresh.“

“My family and I recently stopped at Smash Park in Des Moines on a whim for some family fun and food. The atmosphere was laid back and our kids thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor pickle ball courts and the arcade. Food, dessert and drinks were all crowd pleasers! And to go completely over the top, we left our blanket outside and Jerry answered my phone call, went outside to retrieve it from the bench where I left it, and mailed it back to me free of charge. In a world where kindness and customer support are harder and harder to come by, Jerry and Smash Park get a 10/10 from this family!!!“

“Been here many times and will come back many more! Love the new bar added as a waiting room! Highly recommend the beef stroganoff!

Dining here comes with a couple sweet surprises that make the prices seem incredible too :)“

“Highly recommend food by K&G Digital 360! 10/10“

“This is our first time here and it was amazing! The atmosphere is straight out of the 80s/90s and being a GenX it was awesome! Even the menu was a flash back to the past. The food was phenomenal! Their breakfast potatoes were to die for and I don’t do hash browns usually. Chelsey S was a top of the line server. The only minor complaint was the hostess didn’t know if they served Pepsi or Coke products. Just seemed odd her not knowing. I would hands down recommend this for a breakfast place.“

“Quite possibly the best bbq on the planet!! They had lots of gluten free choices.. all meat and sauces are gluten free. Although they served the food with 4 huge slices of bread which seems unnecessary and is totally cross contamination. The brisket was melt in your mouth amazing! The garlic Parmesan potatoes were very delicious!“

“If you've never had a sushi cupcake, you don't know what you're missing! The quality of sushi here is just undeniably amazing, and the value you get for your money is so impressive. Please give them a try. They will not disappoint!“

“Fleming’s is our go to for special occasions! Best service ever!“

“We had an amazing evening at Panka Peruvian restaurant this week with a BIG surprise at the end. We are having our first son!

It's really not just the food that they give us. They always give us a time we will never forget.“

“I want to give a shout out to Early Birds restaurant in West Des Moines. Kevin was a fantastic bartender. First time I have been here. The food was amazing. I love the atmosphere. The whole concept is great. The menu… too many things to choose from. I got the Cinnamon roll French toast. Delicious. And the Hashbrown holes delicious. It was great to get an appetizer before my French toast. I have to give a shout out to Kevin as he knows everything on the menu plus he has great suggestions for drinks from the bar! Will deffinately be going back again.“

“Food is always delicious! I went in after work on Mother’s Day to take home 3 orders of shrimp fajitas and the patio and tables inside were packed. Despite staff being very busy, I still got my order in 15 min and one of the teens working at the register checked on me while I waited to see if I needed anything. I’ve always had excellent service. The margaritas are delicious as well!“

“Service and food is always consistently good. The patio is a great setting and one of few restaurants in DSM that can offer this setting My only suggestion is to make sure the patio is regularly hosed down and absent of bird droppings. Great restaurant and would like to see more customers to keep this restauant strong“

Thank you for the superb experience!!! =)“

“Stopped by for dinner with a friend Saturday night and had another fantastic experience and meal!

There was plenty of close open parking, we had a prompt, warm welcome and we felt the staff appreciated our visit from the first moment!

We had our choice of a booth or table, which I always love, and we were sat immediately and greeted shortly after by our very kind and attentive server.

Our drinks arrived within a minute or two and we were so excited to order the pot stickers that I forgot to take photos of them before they were practically inhaled! This appetizer showed up hot and delicious as always and the sauce that comes with them is my favorite in town!

Our meals also came out hot, delicious, as ordered and very promptly! I I would estimate we had them within 8-10 minutes and they were also plated beautifully! I had the orange chicken and I would recommend it to anyone!

Thanks again for a wonderful experience at a fair price!!“

“Good food. Reasonable prices. Small but good happy hour food drinks and prices. The best blackened Catfish I’ve had in a long time. Ate the leftover Catfish the next morning. It was so good cold. I love the inside out crab Rangoon. Our son says the Cavatelli is the best. Soft bread with meal. Salads or soups with entree. All good. Service is good friendly and available.“

“Great service and quick delivery of good, portioned food. Everything we ordered was as ordered and hot.“
