35 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Pleasant Hill

“All love here! Each time I grab food, I know it’s good and the folks I introduce to it are in awe of the flavor. Keep it up!“

“my daughter and I stumbled upon this neat place today. she has the classic burger with a side of fresh fruit and she loved it. I had the grinder with a side of amazing tomato bisque soup. we shared some tasty chicken loaded nachos and will definitely be making the 45 minute drive again very soon. our waitress was a lovely lady named Tatum(I cannot remember how your name is spelled,I'm so sorry). she was rocking the bar and taking orders all by herself. she constantly made sure we were doing ok. 10/10🤟“

“This restaurant notified us, after we ordered online for delivery, that they believed our driver took our order. They called to tell us that before we even had a chance to believe there was a problem, and fully communicated what the issue was. They remade our order and it was delivered less than a half hour after they discovered the issue. Superior customer service. Highly recommend.“

“Best butter chicken I’ve ever had“

“Would highly recommend I have came here 3x now and never any issues. I got a cookie that’s suppose to have a lemon on them and they were quick to fix the mistake would recommend to anyone. There is a bunch of cookie places but this trumps all them!“

“Beautiful roasts, great pour overs, delicious shots and Gibraltars. Best in the state that I’ve found! Keep it up guys. Omg and the scones…perfect.“

“Best coffee shop in Des Moines!! ☕️ Amazing local honey tooo 🍯“

“Best restaurant in ankney! By so far haven’t change. Has best customer service and FOOD!“

“Delicious ! Would 10/10 come back again and try all the flavors !“

“It’s been awhile since I’ve stopped in, but each time I did, the baked goods were heavenly. The shop is cute as well, feels very spacey, but homey too.“

“Went for the first time as we are from 4 hours away. Everything was awesome. Got seated right away. And order was taken. Food came out hot. Didn’t try the pop tart as wasn’t sure what it was. But heard it is very good. Maybe next time we get to town. Service was outstanding“

“We recognize Chris for going above and beyond at Wasabi Waukee on September 23, 2025.

We were facing an urgent issue with our keg cooler that was impacting draft service. Chris not only helped diagnose and repair the cooler on the spot, he also assisted with swapping in new kegs, confirming lines, pressures, and temperatures, and ensuring every tap was pouring correctly before he left. His professionalism, technical know-how, and willingness to stay until the job was truly complete prevented service interruptions during a busy period and saved us product waste.

Please pass along my thanks—this is exactly the kind of partnership we value. Chris represented Confluence exceptionally well.

Thank you,
Rhiannon King
General Manager, Wasabi Waukee“

“3/1/25 I ordered delivery My order was grilled chicken sandwich on sourdough bread with fries. The sandwich was very good and lots of great flavor. Herb fries were good too. I also, ordered the pretzel Bread Pudding, it was terrible dry and hard even with the carmel sauce. Bad choice.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sakari Sushi is hands down my favorite place for sushi in Des Moines! The food is always incredibly fresh, and the sushi is the best in town, no question. What really sets this place apart is the staff. They’re phenomenal, friendly, attentive, and always moving with purpose. You’ll never catch anyone just standing around; they’re constantly making sure everything runs smoothly and guests are taken care of. Special shoutout to our bartender Jake for mixing up the best drinks. His Painkiller cocktail is an absolute must-try! Whether you're a sushi lover or just looking for a great night out, Sakari never disappoints.“

“I recently ordered the strawberry croissant and the fruit danish pastries. Both were delicious and received rave reviews from my coworkers. I needed a pick up time before work and she was great at accommodating me. I will definitely order again!“

“Great environment ( inside and out) to grab a beer and relax. Lots on tap to choose from. Never had one I didn’t like. Staff is friendly and happy to be there. Highly recommend.“

“Great beer and great people!!!“

“We just stayed for one beer but this place has a great vibe, great beer and friendly staff. Looking forward to coming back.“

“Awesome beer and support their local first responders!“

“I’ve worked with Evan and his staff the last couple years to get pizza for Centennial boys’ tennis team meals. They have been amazing to work with and very accommodating, even with weather related changes to the scheduled meals. The pizza has been delicious and the boys love it. The 26 inch pizzas are awesome for feeding large groups. I would highly recommend Dough Co in Ankeny!“

“Just a great bar, we meet our son there when we’re in town.“

“The staff are incredible!! Monty and I love all the helpful and friendly bar tenders! Highly HIGHLY recommend ☺️“

“Excellent service and food!“

“The best wings. Consistent every time. Also had the ornery tots and different sandwiches. All delicious! It’s quickly becoming a weekly stop for us.“

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

“Sarah K. is truly one of a kind, and Starbucks is incredibly fortunate to have her as a manager at the Downtown Des Moines 10th & Locust location. Her customer service skills are unmatched - she handles every order with care and makes everyone feel valued and respected. Sarah consistently goes above and beyond for every single customer, setting the gold standard for what exceptional customer service should look like. She even personally delivers orders to customers throughout the store, which speaks volumes about her dedication. I would be remiss not to mention the rest of her team, who are nothing short of phenomenal. I truly cannot say enough great things about Sarah and her team! She absolutely deserves all the recognition and more for the incredible experience she consistently provides. If every store were led the way Sarah leads hers, customer service everywhere would be better for it!“

“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.“

“Great food, good service- night me and my friend was there was busy but we were seated promptly, waitress helpful and friend friendly and food came our timely. I had fried okra and shrimp and grits when there and was excellent.“

“Klaus says “bark! Thank you for the puppuccino!” ❤️“

“Every time I go here with my niece and nephew, we always leave with a smile on our face. The food is so good. The atmosphere is amazing quite loud sometimes but it’s a public establishment. I’m not picky. They’ve always gotten my order right and it’s tasty.

Parking: Plenty of spots for its location.

Kid-friendliness: Every time I take my niece and nephew here they have a blast, and the staff is so kind to them.

Wheelchair accessibility: All wheelchair handicap spots are directly in front of the building so easy access.“

“Hailey demonstrated exceptional professionalism and courtesy throughout our interaction. She provided valuable assistance in navigating a complex order, ensuring a seamless and satisfactory experience. I will undoubtedly return to this establishment due to the outstanding service provided by Hailey. This location stands out as the finest in the region, offering unparalleled customer service.“

“Navigating to the new location was an experience. I guess maps had not been updated with the new location that was a former bank. Anyway, not a dominoes issue. The pizza was fine decided to try the new spicy chicken ranch. Won't have that one again. Never been a huge fan of ranch in any form. Didn't really work with the other items on the pizza. I'll stick with my fiery Hawaiian“

“Great service and amazing tasting products! The ice cream is scooped in front of you with unique and tasty flavors. The service was fast and accurate and the woman who helped me named Jessica was so nice and helped with everything I needed! Loved the experience!“
