“We had our Holiday party there on Saturday January 20th. The food was good, and the staff was excellent.“

“Had a pickup order, had the Nashville hot chicken sandwich, food was ready very fast and was one of the best chicken sandwiches I’ve ever had. One small gripe is I wish it had a little more of the hot oil.“

Kid-friendliness: The staff has always been so good with my daughter who loves to chit chat about what's going on with her and they are so warm and welcoming.“

“Absolutely amazing place. Since I've showed up to Iowa I go every week and always have a blast. The servers, Mariana and Jes are very friendly and helpful when it comes to the menu items and their service. I've had most of the items on the menu and everything has been spot on! Incredible! Love it all! I am definitely going to miss this lounge when I leave iowa. 5/5.“

“I DO NOT RECOMMEND!! It appears they have their do no recommend set so that your post cannot publish. Called this morning to let the staff know we were going with a group of 12 and they said that would not be a problem. In an hour our group received water and a drink order placed but never got it. The same server continued to wait on other tables, make drinks for other tables and made no effort or hurry to make ours or come back to take our order. In addition, the bartender continued to walk around and socialize rather than makes drinks. We even wrote down our whole order and patiently waited for her to come back to make it easy for her. This is the second that we have attempted to come to your establishment with the same results.“

“Bears fans need to come and watch a game“

“I have never been here but after following some of your reviews and looking at you online makes me want to visit!“

“darts, drinks, food and fun“

“The people are fantastic! I went for lunch while I waited for the plane, they were busy, and I was worried I might not have time to eat. The kitchen cranked it out, I was so impressed!“

“You want a dive bar that is also clean? This is it. Damn friendly staff and patrons. I go there periodically for a beer. They had a birthday party for a regular. Tons of food. I knew no one but several people came up to me and told me to partake in the goods.“

“Best music,wanted a bar that made u feel in ur 20's again. and wanna just dance lol,yet without too many people and it's small,but very nice abdyet has everything a big bar would have for entertainment:great music,pool tables,pinball machines,darts,etc!( Plus I have to mention the nice staff,as well as super friendly people who end up conversing with!)“

“Yanci was excellent ! Drinks were awesome and food was delicious and came so fast!“

“What a fun place! Next time we will try a escape room. Need more bathrooms. Had a great time!“

“Had a blast here & ran into someone my friend knew his name is "priest" the vibe was incredible & the music was great.We all had an incredible time! I streamed on Instagram to my followers to spread awareness of this place because it was really fun.My husband realized my cash app card fell out of his pocket and we hurried back to the club around 2:11 am. I received a notification that I was charged $100 from the club at 2:07 am and we didn't order anything that much and every drink we ordered I signed and tipped on a paper receipt.He came in the club highly upset because of the time of the charge he felt it was the establishment. I encouraged him to lower his voice because we are unsure who made the charge. In the end the owner or manager gave us the refund of $100 because they knew it wasn't us.Whoever found my card and used it is incredibly stupid. A $100 charge on a cash app card is very noticeable and this app sends you notifications of the time the charge happens. I'm not sure what happened but I'm glad the owner is honest and fair.I streamed the whole night that I was there reaching 1 million views. So I'm happy that he gave us my money back!“

“I would highly recommend Caffereys! It does not only have great service, but it is a neighborhood bar that you can meet so many wonderful people! The staff is wonderful especially Marcy, Taylor and Kristin! This is like a second home for me. Regards, Shane“

“I love this place, I use to work at the waukee location when they were open. And I'll always say it worth it to stop out and watch a game no matter what season it is! even though baseball season is when it's popping the most!“

“Very amazing family night tonight! We had a family of 9 and they got us in to eat right away, great food, great prices, fun for all! Bowling prices were also very reasonable! Will be back soon! Thank you to the amazing team!“

“Great food and Great atmosphere!“

“great good, and atmosphere“

“I got cheese pizza and vanilla yogurt with strawberries! Last time I got fries. good kid’s menu… it was $6.99 for the meal. Hehe good price. Yogurt was chunky..: pizza was good, Dr Pepper was good, bouncy seat:)

Vegetarian options: Kids menu there was broccoli trees.
They had salads and applesauce.

Parking: They had small parking spots.. BUT it was ok.“

“I was in town for business and met a friend here. The staff recommended plenty of good options but I ended up with the Pork Tenderloin sandwich. It did not disappoint. It was a nice change from the usual lettuce and tomato and instead having the slaw with the pickled onion and jalapeno! I'll visit again next time I am in town!“

“It has to have the friendliest bar tenders, bar owners anywhere. Great place just to hang out with friends and family to have a few and relax or party. Love the staff.“

“Lots of variety. Flavorful and hearty.“

“Great bar!! Best HAWKEYE bar!!“

“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!“

“Nice, local crowd with pool tables, dart boards, and my favorite, the punching bag machine. Local bands and djs and even a weekly karaoke night helps to spice up the music selection. Free pool day and drink specials help to keep the cost of your partying low.“

“My husband and I stopped by when we heard live music and we had such a fun time! It was pretty quiet for a Friday night (we also left before 9 pm), but we loved the intimate atmosphere and being able to interact with the band, who were very talented and friendly. Our bartender was warm and attentive and ensured we were taken care of. Their sangria mocktail was SUPER yummy and I was impressed at their mocktail selection. Excited to come back some time and try their food- the chicken strips look phenomenal!“

“Stopped in for the first time today. I’m happy to have a good breakfast place on Ingersoll. The food was good and staff was super nice. Will be back for sure.“

“Sure, it's a strip mall bar that's pretty much a dive, but I love it. Staff is surprisingly attentive and polite for how busy it can get and I've never had much of an issue with the clientele. Love coming hear to watch Hawkeye, Cyclone or Cubs games. Insanely low prices also. One of my favorite bars in the city.“

“I'm biased about Highland Park Lutheran Church. Basically, my mother is the pastor of the church. Though I will say is you're looking for a welcoming place to find God, then you definitely will. Also, the congregation is very welcoming as well. DO COME AND SEE WHAT A GREAT PLACE OF WORSHIP THAT YOU'LL FIND WITH Highland Park.“

“Looking for a night out without going downtown or west Glenn? This is the place. Karaoke on Tuesday, trivia on Wednesday. Lots of regulars including myself. We don’t bite and love a good time. Unlike other places, you won’t get weird looks for being new here. 4 Pool tables, 2 dart boards, 3 slot machines with Ridgemont tickets (each worth a dollar at the bar). It’s a good sized place so you can find your own area or chat with a new friend. I’m an honest guy, worst thing about this place is the urbandale and Windsor heights cops linger because they smell a good time. Just get a ride if you have too much fun.“

“One of my favorite bars in Ankeny! We went there last week and got the cheese curds and buffalo wings...and shocking, they might have been the best wings I have ever had! There was live music which was also awesome. Quick service, kind staff. My husband & I had the best date night there (sat at the bar).“

“Great service and the band was really good!“

“All around enjoyable place to go and eat! I had the Maui pizza, my wife got the Philly cheesesteak pizza, and our friends shared the buffalo chicken pizza. All 3 types were great! I wish the crust had some sort of garlic butter glaze or seasoning. The 9” pizza was enough to feed 2, the 12” we could have fed 3 and possibly a not so hungry 4th person. Paired with my pizza I ordered the mulberry mule; it was not very flavorful, but wasn’t terrible. The server was friendly and professional. She checked on us often.

The pizza did take a while to come out, I understand it is made fresh however, if it was a full house I could only imagine the wait time. I suggest turning on another stove if they have one during dinner service.

Overall great experience and will definitely go back!“

“Ordered the big bacon cheesburger special for lunch carryout after reading some reviews on the burgers. I must say i was impressed, the meat was cooked to order, the bun was grilled and the veggies on the buger made every bite delectable. Will be back for sure!“

“I've been here before, but gotta admit, it was several years ago! I should have come here more often!! A friend (a regular here) and I split a Monte Cristo sandwich--my first one ever!! And I would definitely order that again. We also shared some dumplings and eggrolls!! Everything was delicious!! I'll be back soon!!“

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

“The Punching Pandas ROCK! From the energy, to the song selection - to the horn section- these guys bring it! They are guaranteed make every show they play one big party. Once again- THEY ROCK! 🤘😎“

“The atmosphere was very laid back, the food was really good we got buffalo egg rolls, spinach artichoke dip for appetizers I got the Philly cheesesteak and fries and friend got the Nutty Buddy Burger with Cole slaw we really enjoyed both appetizers and our meals. Service was quick and I appreciated how nice our server was also I assume the manager or lead but she kept coming over to make sure we were satisfied and that our food was tasting good! Definitely recommend! The food was a little pricey are tab came to 66$ with no alcoholic beverages but really good!“

“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!“

“This place is the bee’s knees. Consistent fast fresh & friendly. Fair prices too. They’ll modify your order to make you something, even if it’s not on the menu. They used to have a burger I liked that wasn’t on the menu, but our server Levi knew what we were talking about and told the kitchen. The best service we’ve seen for a long while.“

“The family stopped for lunch because they have jambalaya in the name on some of their locations and my wife is a huge gumbo fan. The food was very good. I like the jalapeno creamed corn. My wife enjoyed the gumbo. The corn muffins were very sweet and we both wished it'd been a corn bread, instead of muffin. The pulled pork was very good but they have Alabama white sauce so of course it's going to be good with that. The staff was nice. There is a tiny free lot behind the building that may fill up quickly, depending on the day's events.“

“We arrived in Des Moines late and wanted a quick bite to eat and cocktails. The burger was delicious. The beers were cold We got to watch a lot of different sport events on their tvs. Our waitress was awesome and told us about a great cookie place to get dessert. Definitely would go back next time we go to Des Moines“

“My husband and I had traveled from Ohio to near Urbandale to visit family and while staying at a nearby hotel, wanted a place for a drink and wind-down. Beerhouse was recommended by hotel desk clerk. We went back after our first night's experience. The (younger) staff behind the bar was excellent; personable, knowledgable, hard-working and a benefit to this establishment. Made great suggestions for food“
