“We chose Molly’s for our wedding cakes and boy did people really chow those down. The cakes for our guests were amazing, but our wedding cake was more than I could have ever imagined. They took my inspiration pictures and executed beyond belief. The cake was incredible to eat and to look at. We were speechless. I would recommend Molly’s for weddings and in general as all their items are so delicious. Thank you so much!!“

“We don’t usually pick chain restaurants but this one is an exception. Great food, service, atmosphere & location. We come here every time we come to Des Moines shopping. Never disappoints! Pictured is the lettuce wraps. My favorite dish! Served as an appetizer but enough food to make it a meal.“

“I got the pub steak sandwich! And omg I wanted to float away! So good! Can’t even start! Everything! Ranch and salad!!!🥗 my goodness gracious! So good! 😊“

“this is a fantastic place!!! food is incredible, atmosphere is awsome, and the owner is top notch. if it is a large group of a date this is the place to go“

“Our wedding cake from Crème was absolutely perfect! Not only was it beautifully made and exactly what we envisioned, but it also tasted incredible. We went with a two-tiered cake, and both flavors were a huge hit—our guests couldn’t stop talking about how good it was!

Sammy at Crème was so easy to work with throughout the entire process. She was helpful, responsive, and really took the time to understand what we wanted. The final result was elegant, delicious, and everything we hoped it would be.

We’re so happy we chose Crème to be part of our day and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a cake that tastes just as amazing as it looks!“

“I’ve ordered from FreshFit many times, including delivery and pickup. Delivery has been excellent. Friendly delivery person, efficient and organized. When I’ve been in the store (Urbandale), it’s been clean and organized with friendly staff present. The menu items I’ve ordered (mostly poultry) has been great! Nice quality, and I typically buy a little extra for the freezer. I like the nutrition labels on the product—makes meal planning quite easy!“

“Amazing food and at a reasonable price and not a bad wait time.“

“I cannot say enough great things about Sweet Treat without Wheat! I had the pleasure of trying their cinnamon sugar donuts, and they were absolutely delicious—soft, flavorful, and perfectly sweet without being too heavy. You’d never guess they’re gluten-free!

What made the experience even more special was the incredible generosity of the owner. Despite the bakery being located in Iowa, she went above and beyond to get the donuts to me all the way in Aruba.

If you’re looking for amazing gluten-free treats made with love, this is the place to go. I can’t wait to try more of their baked goods!“

“Had a small group (9pp) attending an informal Porsche car club pre-drive planning meeting at Biaggi's last night. I had made minor arrangements with Jeff Duncan (Managing Partner) and Whitney Webber (Event Planner) and they were most professional and accommodating to my requests. Pleasure to work with! The food and drinks were very good and and our server Tiffany did a great job being professional, attentive, and personable. The pricing of the menu items is surprisingly low to me providing an exceptional value as well. Highly recommended!!!“

“The food is amazing, especially the Lo Mein! It is very authentic and delicious. The staff are so kind, welcoming, and give you a speedy service, especially Haven. She always has a huge smile and makes you feel so welcomed. They really make you feel like family and give you the most delicious food ever!

Dietary restrictions: They have plenty of vegetarian options. I would recommend the vegetable fried rice or vegetable lo mein.“

“Simple stated, Incredible“

“Last week was my 1st time here, but the staff treated me like an old friend. & the pizza was amaaazing. While waiting for my food, there was a little girl who was dancing & fell (she was alright). The staff were very kind to her & even gave her a big cookie to have for dessert!“

“Picked up lunch here today. So good!“

“It was ok. Nothing special.“

“Suzie makes the best cakes in all of Des Moines. I asked for a chocolate and raspberry cake for my birthday, and she did not disappoint! It was not only delicious but also super cute, topped with frosted flowers and sparkles! I recommend Suzie for all of your homemade baked good needs!“

“Love this place! So many choices and all delicious and homemade!! You can't be disappointed- especially if you're hungry!!“

“Super yummy & a fun experience! :) The place was also super clean & the staff were really friendly. Ignore the Karen's in the other reviews, I don't know who expects a froyo place to have highschoolers who aren't a little shy. They're just beginning to enter the workplace and they're human too, lay off and stop being so entitled.“

“Everything here is so good!!“

“Excellent service. Although, I was disappointed that the AC was broken…. The employees were all very admirable despite the fact that the AC was broken.. disappointed in the company for not having it fixed for them on such a hot weekend! Again, service was excellent!“

“Had a great experience here. Food was great, we got two appetizers and two pizzas. We brought our children (2 &5) and they shared our appetizers and pizza and they loved it. I had read previously that someone said it smelled a little like the cigar bar. I did smell that right when I walked it but it was very faint. My husband thought it smelled like a hotel pool. I didn't even notice it after a couple minutes. Someone else has mentioned they wished they had diaper changing stations in the bathrooms. They don't in the women's, but there is also a Family Bathroom that does have a changing station. My only couple complaints is that it seemed like there were only two employees running the whole front of house and so it took us a while to get told to sit wherever we wanted and then to get greated after we did sit. Service was good after that. Also, while everything was great, it is a little pricier. One specialty pizza, one two topping pizza, a spin dip, garlic bread, and two bar drinks (rum & coke and whiskey & coke) was $90. We would go back for sure, it's just seems more like a splurge treat than a place we would be able to afford regularly.

Kid-friendliness: Diaper changing station in family bathroom, kids menu options. No one seemed to mind the kids.“

“It was my first time in, and the staff was super friendly and helpful! Food was fresh and healthy!“

“Menchie's Frozen yogurt is a great treat. I like that it has no preservatives and no additives. It has a great variety of flavors. I'm so glad I found a good frozen yogurt place. I also love the friendly staff.“

“My family and I love the brunch they offer on the weekends! So delicious, wide variety of food and drinks, and very reasonably priced! We go with our 3 young kids usually when we take a trip to Des Moines, so very kid friendly! Amazing seating as well, just love the overall vibe! Highly recommend!“

“Best Noodles and Co in DSM!

Hot, fresh, delicious. Jordan was extremely kind and checked in to make sure everything was great (it was). Very clean, both tables and bathrooms. Will come again. Ate a third before I thought to grab a pic“

“The burger was excellent and they have a large selection of sides. The waitress was friendly, quick and efficient. My husband’s first time there, will definitely visit again.

Parking: Kind of a strange setup, the parking is in the rear and you have to walk around the building to get in.“
