Restaurants in Urbandale

“I stopped in at MinGaLaBar tonight with a family member and had a great experience! Our waitress was very kind and it didn’t take much time for the food to arrive hot and fresh. We started off with an order of Samosas and then I got the Shan Khao Swe with chicken!”

“Tito’s Lounge is one of those spots that just gets it right. The food was solid across the board, fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The ambiance is on point too. Relaxed but stylish and the kind of place you can actually enjoy a meal and a conversation without feeling rushed. What really stood out was the service. Attentive, friendly, and professional without being over the top. You can tell they care about the experience. Overall, a great spot whether you’re grabbing dinner, meeting friends, or just unwinding. Highly recommend checking it out.”

“Our family went out to a late lunch here today. The service was awesome, and the food was absolutely wonderful. We took advantage of their September special, and were able to try several menu items. None disappointed. They were all great. Decor and atmosphere were modern and chic. Highly recommend a visit!”

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

“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.”

“First time in quite awhile I stopped in the other day and grabbed a #11 with everything. The best hoagie I’ve enjoyed in a long time!

My last visit a year and a half back, I had the same variety of sandwich. Dry bread and the fixings were off. About wrote this place off. Glad I gave them another go. Keep doing what you’re doing, folks. It’s delish stuff!”

“Amazing customer service!! We had an issue with our delivery, and in one phone call our issue was solved. It was never a question that they were going to make it right. They went above and beyond to fix our issue, and because of that, we will continue to be customers. We love these meals and will continue to order for convenient, healthy, fresh meal options during the week!”

“Great food, great setup. Nothing bad on the menu”

“One of my favorite places to get sushi! Amazing ramen too. I get take out here almost weekly. I’d recommended… -crab rangoons -garlic fried rice -spicy edamame Can’t go wrong with most of the menu! Great atmosphere inside too”

“10/10! I loved the food they were very kind and had such good drinks with lots of options. The place was clean and beautiful. Will come again!😁”

“Love dining near the food was great! Great service server was Shannon and she was very attentive always came back and checked on us kept our drinks filled! Would definitely recommend this place food and service was great thanks Shannon”

“Absolutely love it. Outstanding pizza. First time having your pizza. Will be having it every time I pass through the area. Thank you for turning out quality food.”

“Just got order for staff, as always, Joe/Kurt and staff have it top notch. Customer service is great, food is excellent. Ready on time, and hot or cold just as each should be. Thanks for always being perfect Palmer's.”

“It was maybe 10 years between my previous and most recent visit here. The recent visit was very nice. Great food and the staff handled the busy night quite well.”

“A few weeks ago I came in and bought a sectional- which I absolutely love! Today I returned looking for a chair to match and maybe a kitchen table- as soon as I walked in, I saw the gal who helped me with my sectional and she immediately remembered me and asked how my specific sectional was working out! To me- that’s great customer service!”

“The prices seemed a bit high, but that was before we got our food. My wife got the carne asada burrito and I got the torta cubana (pictures posted) they were huge! We also got to choose three small salsa options to go with our dishes, and then we ordered the chips and salsa as well, so we got to try all but one of the salsas they offer. They were all really good. I particularly liked the habañero, even though it was almost more like a queso dip (a bit thicker) than the roja and verde.
Also got a passion fruit agua fresca. If you've never tried passion fruit you really should. I fell in love with it while living in the Caribbean, and it's hard to find by itself, but it was excellent. If nothing else, I'll be back for that!
As you can see from the photo of my sandwich, the Cubana is a bit messy, but totally worth it. The guacamole was fantastic, and it surprisingly went well with the mustard, egg, tomato, and jalapeños. I wouldn't have thought so, but it really worked.
We love trying new places, especially local restaurants, and this is one we'll definitely go back to, to try more of their menu items.
A flavor explosion indeed!”

“great people, great atmosphere, good music, all ages, so much fun.”

“We decided to take a quick stop for my grandsons first coffee date. We both had a kids cocoa. Bonus points for them having a certified, gluten free oat milk for me!”

“Went tonight for steak night! Best steak I've ever had! TJ on the grill was the absolute BEST! He definitely knows what he's doing! Will definitely be back! Great food, great drinks and great atmosphere!”

“great place great service great food they treat you like family steak night is amazing definitely go”

“I tried a raspberry without cream cheese and a brisket kolache and they’re fantastic. Love the flavors and texture. Would recommend!”

“I dont give 5 stars for any company.This is far my favorite bread next Brownberry.I try to avoid not buy the company branded labels like Hyvee, Fareway or Great Value (Walmart brand). Just too bad I dont see this brand in Walmart.i know some Walmart Great Value bread is Country Hearth bread just the private labelHyvee sometimes is under Sara Lee.Just like tortilla- Mama Lupa's has there private label for HyveeSara Lee is just too expensive. Especially at Hyvee and Fair”

“A true Des Moines tradition. The best tacos you're likely to find anywhere. Get the original flour tacos. Two per adult, one per child, and maybe an extra if you're particularly hungry. 😀”

“The coffee is excellent, as well as the food. Try the breakfast sandwich, it’s very tasty and nicely toasted. The place is clean, and the service is friendly. Truly deserves every compliment; this is what a coffee shop looks like when someone really puts effort into it.”

“Great food here. Carnitas tacos, shrimp ceviche, fish ceviche, birra tacos have all been very good. Tasty margaritas!! Their staff is always engaging and I enjoy speaking a lil Spanish w them.”

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

“Went on this place with my family on my birthday 😎 got a amazing show from a chef 🤠 this is the second time I have this experience, and it is so awesome. Will come back 😁”

“Stopped in on a whim one morning because I was going to go to HyVee to get a loaf anyway but figured I'd try it out. And I was not disappointed! Even just the Honey Wheat bread is good, which is saying something. I bought a lemon poppyseed loaf I'm stoked to try out! Will be returning.”

“Super friendly staff and great customer service. Fabulous prices. Welcoming environment. They serve basic bar food as well - I work nearby and it's a wonderful place to catch a game as they have all the good channels!”

“Today was Teacher Appreciation day at Scooter's and just wanted to say that they were fast with my order, VERY pleasant and so kind. Thank you for the free drink ❤”

“I was so impressed at the two young men working tonight, Saturday, Oct. 22 at the Merle Hay Location. They were busy, worked hard and very kind/respectful! Their parents are raising them right!”

“Large catered pizza order arrived hot & fresh, a couple minutes early and was enjoyed by all! Thank you!”

“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.”

“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”

“This location is so amazing!! They make sure they get everything about your order correct and even write your name right! The staff is so friendly and nice and overall a satisfying 10/10”

“Love Panera. Great deals on food. Install the app to get coupons. Mondays always have a coupon deal. I love that I can pre-order through the app and pick it up myself. My order is always spot on. Thanks Panera for a great app experience every time.”

“Amazing food and margaritas as well as fun staff!”

“amazing chill atmosphere as well as staff. The food is great. I actually cried on my way home from the genuin kindness the cashier showed me on a hard day. 10/10 recommend. the iced coffee and Americono are my go to. My bf likes the espresso. WHO EVER WORKED TONIGHT THANK YOU!!!”

“Fabulous!! Great service! Food was yummy, hot and fresh!”

“Check your order...more than once they put green olives on instead of green peppers. Obviously a good pizza for the money or I wouldn't be back

Parking: I try to come at off times”

“They were just about to close but the guy who waited on us still let us come there to eat. He was really cool about it. Didn't get mad or say no we couldn't way there.”

“So far I’ve only had the sugar cookies and I’m in love. I guess that’s why they are called Love Drops 😍😂 Great customer service as well! 10/10 would recommend 👍🏼👍🏼”

“I love going to Jimmy John's. I usually get their basic sandwich, eight number five and any bread that they have left over.

Wheelchair accessibility: Front door is at ground level.”

“Something changed from a couple years ago, and it's a good change. The crew at this location is rock'n it. Polite, fast, food is good, and the place is the cleanest of all the locations I've visited. Nice!”

“Our server, Shianne was amazing!”

“A few better options than most fast food restaurants. Roast beef is decent for the price, brisket and chicken are good. The Reuben is also pretty good for the price. I am a fan of the potato cakes.”
