“I love their grilled chicken on wraps, sandwiches, and salads. I also love the Brussel sprouts.”

“I’ve never heard of this place before today.. a few of my employee’s went there for lunch and told me to try it. I tried the catfish lunch and it’s incredible! The portion size is massive, the fries are fresh and dialed in and the sauces are spot on! New customer for life! Thank you”

“10/10 easily! The biggest sushi rolls I’ve had & they were only $5!!! If you’re looking for amazing sushi this is the spot!”

“Authentic Indian food cooked to perfection! Being from Kolkata, I am very critical about proper seasoning, tasty and authentic flavors! Srikanth, the Executive Chef is definitely doing wonders and he is an amazing person!! Ravi is also a wonderful human being,another co-owner! The Veg Manchurian hits the spot, the Goat Fry Biriyani is truly amazing, the Apollo Fish as well as the Masala Chai! I am going to be a regular now! This is definitely my go-to Indian restaurant in the Des Moines metro area! Super happy! Super satiated! Srikanth is very passionate about cooking and that shows when you taste every item in the restaurant! It’s phenomenal! Do give it a try! You will understand what true Indian food feels like! 🫶”

“good atmosphere, amazing staff, and top notch subs way better then any other sub shop around hands down.”

“Excellent! Great Food! Friendly Helpful Staff!”

“Great food, friendly staff and live music!”

“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!”

“Delicious 😋 Loved it! I recommend 👌”

“I have eaten an unreasonable amount of Subway in my lifetime. I’m basically a self-appointed Subway sandwich critic. And let me tell you, this location? Elite. Out of all the Subway sandwiches I’ve had in my life (and trust me, there have been MANY), this location is hands down the best. The bread is always so fresh and soft, they put the perfect ratio of topping on every time. And as if it couldn't get any better the staff are some of the most friendly people you will meet. Most of the time they remember my entire sandwich order and it's evident that the staff truly care about the important art of the Subway sandwich as much as i do. 8th wonder of the world is the Merle Hay Johnston subway.”

“We held my son's graduation open house at The Cork 50131 & I couldn't have been happier. The space was perfectly sized & easy for us to set up. The bartender was SOOOO attentive & helpful to us in setting things up & restocking food as the party went on. The rate was reasonable. There was parking & an outdoor space but if it HAD rained, we wouldn't have needed it. Absolutely top-notch place to hold a grad party!”

“So good. We love it for upscale casual lunch and a wonderful dinner. Tonight my wife and daughter ate there. They had the chicken dumplings, carbonara, and the fried chicken salad. They said it was amazing. Best part? They brought me home a Waygu burger with Parmesan fries. So good!!! Check it out.”

“In Johnston for work and saw the sign and thot I would give it a try. Seems like local people and very nice. Bartender was great. Will definitely come back next time in town. Thanks for the hospitality!”

“We went for steak night and my expectations were exceeded. The steak was cooked perfectly, had great flavor, and was good sized without any gristle. The baked potato and toast were good. Looking forward to going back.”

“Wongs chopsticks has the best food that I've had in years, I travel clear from Lincoln ne, just for there food its a 31/2 hours drive one way just to eat there everytime its wonderful it does not matter what dish you order it delicious, hats off to the cook he is awesome! Cheers to Wong!”

“Great, they didn’t give us a baked potato that was ordered, but everything was delicious”

“Food is good, somewhat small building, bathrooms only for 1 person so if someone is in there, you gotta wait. Only bad thing is they need to update workdays/holidays, it said it was open and drove 15 min just to see a paper 📃 on the front door saying its closed, other than that good 👍”

“A special place to create great memories 🍦🍨”

“Camping at Bob Shetler and decided to stop in. Fantastic staff, very attentive and personable. Friendly patrons too, had great conversations with all. We stopped in numerous times during our stay and we will definitely be back. Keep up the good job!”

“We live in Kansas City and eat here at least once each year during holiday travels. Best Asian fusion restaurant within several states! It's so good and I have no idea how their menu is that huge. We absolutely love everything we get!”

“Huge shout out to Wasabi Johnston! My daughter wanted to go there for sushi for her bday dinner last night. I called ahead and asked if we could bring in a cake, etc... they were MORE than accommodating. They said whatever we needed! They kept it a secret until we finished our dinner. Brought out the cake, lit the candles, provided extra plates, a knife to cut it and were SO kind. Thank you guys all SO much! My daughter was thrilled (and embarrassed). Excellent dinner too!”

“Overall, this location is amazing! The food is hot, the smoothies are packed with flavor....if you go before noon. The morning crew is amazing and make great food. The afternoon/evening crew...different story. All the smoothies taste like ice, and the food is always missing ingredients and is smaller? I come here often as it's one of the only places I can get a smoothie when I work odd hours, and I have come over a dozen times at this point, and the morning is always great...and the evening makes me want to never return after noon. All I want is for the smoothies to always taste the same and for the food to be the same. I just want the evening crew to get more training, and to care, or follow the recipe.”

“The flights are fantastic. Ask questions if you’re unsure.”

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

“😌It would be nice if they honored the Triv prizes.”

“Best frozen pizza on this planet!”

“Pretty chill bar. Super dog friendly they let me take mine with permission. Best bar I've been to because my dog can come! Super sad im not from here and will be leaving soon.”

“I have really enjoyed spending time here writing and enjoying some good food. Today my lumberjack sandwich just tasted extra good and so did the cold brew. I got a lot done and noticed all the new colors of thermal cups and misc. The staff was nice and nice to eachother. I like that.”

“Favorites include Cavatelli, Lasagne, Spaghetti and Pizzas; also salads. Service, quality of entrees and personnel are tops!!! Great Italian foods. An evening at Marino's Italian Restaurant is worth the $$. Often order take out; never dissatisfied.”

“Discover a delightful haven for your sweet cravings ? Personally, I can't resist the allure of the cheesecake baklava. Planning to return soon for some exquisite Bosnian/Turkish coffee paired with a heavenly slice of cake. Wholeheartedly recommend this place!”

“Backpocket is an absolute enjoyable experience. The staff are amazing and friendly. The food is incredible. I was very pleased with the menu selection. It was hard for me to choose what to order. We will definitely be returning.”

“Warm and cozy, great 🍮!!!”

“I’ve been traveling the state of Iowa, trying Iowa barbecue hands down! the BEST Wings, chicken & the turkey melts in your mouth”

“We ordered carry-out tonight. Great food & friendly staff!”

“I had lunch with a friend and had The BEST tenderloin ever! It fit a good sized bun and was thick and cooked to perfection. Onion rings were exactly how I like them. Going tomorrow for brunch. I will have the tenderloin. Great place!”

“Our favorite pos baseball game joint. This Canes is always very busy. There is usually a wait, but it is popular was well located, what do you expect? If you dine in you will find there is plenty of seating. If you are traveling through Iowa and want to stop to eat, give this place a try.”
