16 Best Bar & Grill near Waukee

“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!“

“Kudos to Hy-Vee for having many workers on Wednesday before TG. The parking lot was full but I was able to check out quickly. They were so prepared! Super great customer service!“

“Absolutely love everything about this place! It's perfect for brunch, business meetings, date nights, and everything in between. The food is consistently excellent, and the specials are always worth checking out. The entire staff is fantastic, but Sabrina and Sanita truly stand out. They're incredibly charismatic and attentive, making every visit even more enjoyable.“

“Fun stop!! Good food!! Nachos were great!!“

“great good, and atmosphere“

“Couldn’t recommend this place enough. We had a wonderful time tonight for a work outing. Called and made a reservation a week prior. Decor, atmosphere, and vibe was phenomenal. Our waitress, Kennedy, was a joy to have—attentive, friendly, and upbeat! Food was delicious! I think that’s one of the best breaded tenderloins I have had. It was thick, juicy, flavorful, and delicious! And what a pleasant surprise to be able to play DJ Bingo while there! It was truly a great time! Will be back!“

“Nick’s is always a win! If you’re there, you are family. The staff truly cares that your experience is spectacular. The food is amazing and the atmosphere is top-notch. Twice a month I meet up with a wonderful friend to sit at the bar, eat some snacks, and enjoy a bourbon or martini while she drinks wine. Even with the rarity of my visits, the bartenders treat me like a regular and work to get to know me. You cannot match the level of service! I typically stay for a short amount of time, eat while I’m there, and also take food home for my high school aged children. The to go food is always perfectly packaged and delicious even if it sits on the counter for a bit while we finish our conversation and settle bills. I cannot recommend Nick’s enough. I almost hate to post this review and ruin the truly beautiful experience.“

“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!“

“Our happy place to visit in grimes. Pool, darts, pizza and always a fun time!“

“Really good service here. One of the better HyVees in the area. People are friendly too unlike the folks at the wall to wall. Maybe I’ll hold off before heading to Fareway.“

“Great food and excellent service. Very easy to work with when planning an event. We tried a few different cocktails and they were fantastic“

“Hello, I wanted to recognize the staff of the Chinese buffet at the above location. They had very good patience with me and my confusion of their menu. They accommodated my requests and the gentlemen, two asian men, did an excellent job in taking my order and taking care of my dinner. I want to apologize if I caused any stress and frustration for them by my questions and the delay to serve the rest of the guests behind me ready to order. I'm so sorry, and appreciate these men for taking time helping me. I really appreciate your hard work and want to tell you both thank you for your excellent service! Thank you, Cherry“

“Great service and the band was really good!“

“The floral shop!! So impressed today on how they have it set-up and decorated for Valentines Day. Someone is real creative and they show so many good ideas for Valentine’s. Talked with Lory, so sweet and very helpful even as busy as she was.“

“It is rare to be genuinely impressed with the quality of to-go food at a sports bar/gastro pub. This meal was fantastic!
Buffalo chicken Rangoon = fire! Amazing flavor/texture. Was perfect.
My wife had the pork tenderloin sandwich with macaroni (& cheese) and loved it.
My main was the surf and turf rice bowl and I have to say it is the best rice bowl I’ve had in a very long time, even from places much more expensive. No joke - this place exceeded all expectations and the food was perfect, from flavors to textures, the unique blends weren’t over the top, and were perfectly executed. Seriously, amazing food. Nice staff up front too and the place inside looks incredibly nice. Will be back to eat in when I have more time.“
