“The Asian server was super nice, all smiles, and accommodating! The food came in fast. Something that we seldom experience on the Southside.“

“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.“

“We really liked it. My wife had the Turkey Panini and I had the Nashville Hot sandwich, it was really good. The fries were very tasty as well, not to mention the great Selection of IPA’s! Service was spot on too with our server(s) being there right when we needed them for another round of IPA’s. Looks like a new “go-to” spot for us!“

“I am the type of person that loves positivity and giving great reviews. Give honor to where honor is due. And I give great reviews, call the managers and praise the service all the time. I have also had my share of terrible service and/or food and usually do not say a word. The experience I had this afternoon at Culvers in Ankeny was horrendous. The food that is. The drive through guy that took my order, payment and delivery was so kind and helpful. I ordered a cod dinner and was only able to eat some of the fish. The 2 sides I ordered were cheese curds and fries. Both were so cold, hard and dry. I was so disappointed. The roll that came with it was cold, hard and dry as well. The butter was good! I did eat most of the fish but it too was tough. WHAT has happened to Culvers? Don't they realize that they are not the only option for food? Sad to say but I will be going to those other options for my meals in the future. The concrete I ordered was sloppy (down side of cup) and melting but did taste good. I HATE leaving a poor review but come on Culvers. Do better. Be better. If it had been just 1 food this review would never have been written. Oh, side note. This was after the lunch rush and before dinner rush. It was close to 2. Got right into drive through with no waiting. Disappointed.“

“Great staff, good food, good drinks. Large party room for group gatherings etc.“

“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.“

“Tiffany is an absolute joy of a server. We took our 4 kids here and she was very friendly with them, they quite enjoyed their meals, she brought extra chocolate milks for them. She gave lots of options and opinions on drink choices, which is very nice that they understand what they serve. Our food was absolutely delicious, very nice menu choices.“

Burger and fries are good and perfect for a fast weekday lunch. The servers are friendly and the service is quick. They also always have live music on the weekends, daily food and drink specials or activities going on everyday. Great place to eat, drink, and hangout.“

“Kaden is always really nice and engaging whenever we order from the Hyvee Market Grille section! The last few times we’ve ordered from him he always has nice suggestions and makes good conversation. I hope he gets paid good because he deserves it!!“

“We chose to check out in a lane that had a first day cashier. The girl bagging the groceries was very helpful to him and us. He accidentally double charged us and the girl took it upon herself to get the approval from management to get it deducted and get us going to keep the line moving!!! Very impressed!! Thank you to the two working isle 5 today!! You are what Hy-Vee is supposed to be!!!“

“I’ve been a regular here for years until I moved to another city but I still work in Grimes and I got my co workers food today from here. The bartender was super nice on the phone and in person. When we got the food back to my office everything was perfect. The food was amazing. My boss who usually trashes anything I order if it isn’t something in his usual food places, well he absolutely loved it and said next time we ever get burgers that’s where we are going from this point on! Thanks again Uptown!“

“I went to B Bops on my Bycycle to both get exercise and feed my fat face between 11:00-11:30pm on 4/18/21. They were super busy and as can happen in BUSY FAST FOOD SITUATIONS, mistakes do occur. They WILL occur. The question with B Bops or any other business is where do you go from there? Well in my case B Bops solved my Number 9 Burger and Fires problem with consummate professionalism not seen not seen since the Roman Siege of Alesia in 52 BC. Now some among you might say "Sean that is TOO PROFESSIONAL."🥴, to that I say how would you know? You weren't there man! 5/5 would def go again. B-Bops Invicta. McDonalds Delenda Est.“

“We were in for lunch yesterday, my grandson wasn't feeling well. Our waitress refused to wait on us. She must have gotten the manager, he was a real trooper, took our order and delivered our food. I thought it was unprofessional of her. But we were suppose to get salad, he even said he forgot the salad and never brought it. Never again!!!“

“Self check out normally is a disaster but today I got helped by Michelle.T and she was awesome. She was able to multitask and help with questions along with making sure we got out of there without a hassle. Amazing food and well trained staff. Michelle T working the self check out line on Saturday June 10th was the best so far though“

“Love it here, everyone that works here is so nice!“

“Trailside Tap is a must-visit in Ankeny! The back patio is amazing. The Berry Summer Salad and Three Pepper Burger were packed with flavor and just the right size. And do yourself a favor—order the Mulberry Mule. You won’t regret it!“

“The atmosphere was very inviting with the staff being friendly and helpful. I really like seeing there was a robot server that handled all the dirty dishes. It was moving around the restaurant collecting dishes the whole time. They are very on top of their restaurant and the food was outstanding.“

Definitely recommend! The food was a little pricey are tab came to 66$ with no alcoholic beverages but really good!“
