“My lunch today at Saints Pub in Waukee, with two dear friends, was truly wonderful. My blackened salmon was tender and fabulous, and our server, Gerardo, was very helpful and attentive. Being able to relax on the patio on such a beautiful day was the cherry on top. We'll definitely be back!“

“I would highly recommend Caffereys! It does not only have great service, but it is a neighborhood bar that you can meet so many wonderful people! The staff is wonderful especially Marcy, Taylor and Kristin! This is like a second home for me. Regards, Shane“

“I arranged for my team to come in for a dual retirement party today and it was so much fun! I was able to talk to them and have food ready when we arrived. It was only $30/pp and that included shoes, the bowing, and a buffet that they kept on top of refilling plus unlimited pitchers of soda! They were so easy to work with. The food was great (get the cheese curds) and the staff was friendly. Extra shout out for a well kept and clean facility! We will be back :)“

“The owner is an absolute saint, he is so nice and a great human being! However, the bartender Megan Hampton is honestly the worst human being I’ve ever met in my life. She was rude to me the second I walked into the bar, then she screamed at me, I went to another bar, and the bartender said Megan did the exact same thing to her and her boyfriend. She openly talks about using cocaine and other inappropriate talk around the bar. She is single-handedly ruining the reputation and good name of Poncho. If you don’t believe me, sit at the bar when Megan is working and you’ll see exactly what I’m talking about.“

“They've really tried to change in the last 5 years or so. They offer daily special meals like steak night (mondays) and taco night (tuesdays). The steaks are legit some of the best I've ever had. Served with very well seasoned grilled onions and mushrooms.

Always great service. Small hometown feel. Love it!

They could improve the beer and liquor offerings. Very limited and no taps.“

“Olivia was great and deserves a pay raise“
