“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!“

“The Machine Shed in Urbandale, Iowa is a fantastic restaurant with good value. The food is excellent! The service is outstanding. We love to take our grandkids to the Machine Shed every time they are in town.“

“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!“

“We love this restaurant! We live closer to the Clive location so we order from there all of the time, both dine in and take out. I recently also had them cater a Saturday lunch at work for us and they knocked it out of the park! Eddie is a phenomenal asset to this restaurant. Always friendly and helpful. Great rewards program as well. Highly recommended!“

“Food was good and hot when it arrived. Server was pleasant and efficient.“

“Its fried chicken 🍗...what else is there to be said? Ok let's see, it was fresh, French fries were terrific, the bread is a nice touch. The chicken 🐔 itself isn't too heavily breaded and it's juicy without being greasy. Pretty good value if im honest and I like their dipping sauces, much better than other chains chicken or otherwise. If I had a criticism it would be that the sweet tea wasn't very sweet and tasted like a batch had been left in the dispenser a bit too long.“
