Restaurants near Van Meter

“We just had great tenderloins at the 5th Quarter in Van Meter. It was our first time there. Clean, friendly, good menu. Maybe the best tenderloin ever. Obviously home done. Not overlarge but I still could only eat half of it. Friendly waitress. No downside for us.”

“So many delicious flavors to choose from and friendly staff.”

“Super convenient, super fast service, amazing customer service from Maddy, and with rewards frequent discount, I love the Waukee location they have stickers also new ones every month”

“Quite possibly the best bbq on the planet!! They had lots of gluten free choices.. all meat and sauces are gluten free. Although they served the food with 4 huge slices of bread which seems unnecessary and is totally cross contamination. The brisket was melt in your mouth amazing! The garlic Parmesan potatoes were very delicious!”

“The best ice cream ever! They have key lime ice cream and it’s my favorite and they also have the dole…. cherry dole is my favorite!”

“Visited for the first time and absolutely will be back! Drink was so tasty. My daughter got a macaron and she loved it & the man working also gave her a pin! Not sure if that is the norm but she was so happy and is now proudly wearing it on her backpack. 10/10 for the drink and customer service!”

“I want to give a shout out to Early Birds restaurant in West Des Moines. Kevin was a fantastic bartender. First time I have been here. The food was amazing. I love the atmosphere. The whole concept is great. The menu… too many things to choose from. I got the Cinnamon roll French toast. Delicious. And the Hashbrown holes delicious. It was great to get an appetizer before my French toast. I have to give a shout out to Kevin as he knows everything on the menu plus he has great suggestions for drinks from the bar! Will deffinately be going back again.”

“Amazing experience every time we go. Great cider and activities for the whole family.”

“We have dined here so many times, I've lost count. Our favorites are the Chipotle fettuccine pasta, guacamole, salsa, flautas, the Las Alegres special, quesadillas, and of course, the margaritas 🍹. Small group or large, they can take care of your table without missing a beat. We will be back again and again!”

“The food is scrumptious! My favorite is their shrimp tacos. Although it is very pricey for lunch. I wish they had a lunch menu with smaller portions and a bit of $$ savings. (I don't like leftovers at lunch. )”

“Love What Dak! The chicken katsu and Korean corn dog are my favs.”

“If you are ever in the neighborhood, stop by!! Best service and food in town! Leah H is your go to girl. She is top notch and will take great care of you!”

“Great experience. Only comment would be make sure you ask what is extra with your meal… we were charged for extra bread and each topping on the baked potato WITHOUT knowing until the check came. We were not asked of it we wanted it or ifnit was okay to add on Service was great and food was excellent but did not appreciate the sneaking in a couple upcharges.. then when we asked about it, the waitress seemed confused, said “it comes with it” then why is it an extra charge?? Just left a bad taste at the end of the night. It’s not about the price…it’s the principle and ethics…”

“Just popped into The Coffeesmith to try it out for the first time - I immediately had to run and leave a review bc it’s just that good! I tried the summer seasonal smores latte, I am a smores latte connoisseur, and this one was amazing!! But what really had me running to leave a stellar review? The almond patty pastry. Only one bite into it and I’ve determined it’s going to be something I crave way too often. Growing up in Eastern Iowa as a bohemie, iykyk, I frequently visited Jaarsma’s and know my way around almond pastries of all kinds. The Coffesmith’s almond patty rivals all others! You have to have it! 🤩🥐”

“Great food and drinks! Service was fantastic, thank you to Cory and Zoey!! The kitchen team was hard working!!”

“I highly recommend this restaurant. The service was wonderful , friendly. The food was delicious on point to perfection. And the restaurant was super clean . I will be back .”

“I’m gluten and dairy sensitive. Staff and the chef have always been so understanding and accommodating! The food is outstanding and so are the staff!!”

“Yum! Everything is amazing!”

“The BEST sour beers I’ve had!”
