Salad Restaurants near Waukee

“The food is so good and they are lightning fast! Def check out their spicy chicken, I think it starts with a “K”?“

“I placed an order for the wrong location & she was able to make it for me instead of driving clear out to Johnston. Very much appreciate the staff at this location. Everyone has always been kind & speaks to every customer as they walk through the door.“

“I usually have great experiences with Noodles & Company but tonight my husband picked up dinner. We live a half hour away or I would have gone back and told them to give me the chicken that I paid for. Frustrating when you pay for something and not get it.“

“Izumi has the best sushi! 10/10 recommended.“

“Great addition to Jordan Creek area. I think it will be my lunch go-to from now on. I had the squash salad with kale. Excellent!“

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

“We have gone to McAllister‘s deli many times over the years and over the past few years, the portion sizes had been decreasing. This last time, they were greatly improved, much to my approval! Throughout our visits, the food has been high-quality and hopefully things are back to moving in the right direction.“

“We are fully staff. Stop by for a fast and friendly service. See you soon. Thank you Rios General Manager“

“Good fast service on 11-5-23. Great food. Molly was very friendly and polite ,also attractive. Will definitely be back“

“Olive Garden is one of those places where I go in planning to eat a normal meal and leave wondering why I have enough leftovers for the next two days.

The food is consistently great, and you can tell a lot of it is made fresh. The gnocchi soup is hands-down my favorite thing on the menu. If they ever start selling it by the gallon, I'm in trouble. The endless soup, salad, and breadsticks deal is one of the best values around, and somehow those breadsticks always disappear faster than they arrive.

The servers are always friendly and generous with the cheese. In fact, I usually end up with enough grated cheese on my pasta to qualify as a side dish by itself. I've even joked about buying one of their cheese graters because I love it so much.

The lemonade is excellent, although I may drink it faster than the staff can refill it. If you're looking for an appetizer, get the Fritta... something. It's like a mozzarella stick that leveled up—crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside, and absolutely delicious.

Top it all off with one of their desserts, and you'll leave happy, full, and probably carrying a to-go box. Olive Garden never disappoints.“

“Went with my niece before an appointment. Showed up a little before 9 and Zuella was the cashier. She was very personable and polite. She had a warm feeling about her. We dined in and my niece and I both got the bacon, egg and cheese biscuit. Both sandwiches were fresh and Zuella came out and checked on us. She was very hospitable. Restaurant was clean. What I did appreciate was there was a table of staff all sitting together eating behind us. Whether it was them on break or about to start/ended shift, it was nice to see they were given that time and seemed to be enjoying themselves. Great experience.“

“The app said they have a play place and they do not anymore. I don't know how long ago this changed and understand there are hardships to maintaining a play place but please take it down from the picture and amenities on the app as we had been traveling a long ways and little man was really excited for the play place only to find out it wasn't here even though we had purposely looked for one that said it had one for him. Just trying to help the parents and let people know it is not updated right on the Chick-fil-A app“

“Great food but service is not that good Most of their staff can’t understand english You have to wait little bit longer if you ask for something Management is not attentive to customer needs Assigned specific person to avoid piling of plates and add manager if peak hours to accomodate customer needs“

“It was ok. Nothing special.“

“1st time there, food was incredible and the service was spot on, will definitely be coming back.“

“Tony and the staff are top notch, they are friendly and provide great customer service. I have a child with dairy allergies, and they are very careful to ensure there’s no cross contamination during the process, they change their gloves, etc…it’s a pleasure coming here!“

“I recently ordered 2 large (catering size) orders of nuggets for our son’s graduation party from this store. They are one of his favorites! The nuggets were delivered on time to our home by an employee of the store at no charge. They were fresh and hot upon arrival! It didn’t take long for them to disappear 😋 I was able to do everything through the app—very easy! I ordered from this restaurant in particular because their minimum order amount was lower. The manager confirmed my order via email and even followed up with me after. I could not have been more happy with the whole experience! I highly recommend this store for your CFA catering needs.“

“Our pizza came in under 30 minutes on Christmas! So happy these guys were open & the pizza was delicious 🤤“

“Went in at 11:00, was greeted immediately, went through all of the options and customizations possible. Mark and this deli gives overall amazing service. Asked if we needed anything when eating multiple times. Special thanks to Mark he was very nice“

“Sandwich tasted fresh, delicious, clean! Good atmosphere, friendly stuff 🦋💕“

“There was a sign for where you could order your meals but it wasn’t very visible so we had gotten in line for adding the ingredients and making the sandwiches (which we thought was the start of the line) but then had to go back to the front to order. Very crowded don’t recommend going during the weekend especially lunch hours. Their internet was down so they could only do charges up to 25 dollars one at a time. The kimchi Philly was delicious. The associate who made our sandwiches and took payment was helpful and efficient“

“I stopped into the Quiznos in Urbandale and was pleasantly surprised by how smooth and enjoyable the whole visit was. The moment I walked in, the place felt welcoming — bright, clean, and comfortable without being crowded or noisy. It had that “well taken care of” vibe that instantly puts you at ease.
The staff really stood out. Everyone I interacted with was friendly, upbeat, and impressively quick without making the experience feel rushed. You can tell they take pride in what they do, and it makes a difference. It’s refreshing to see a team that works efficiently while still being warm and attentive.
And of course, the food was the highlight. I ordered a steak sub, and it was absolutely delicious — hot, flavorful, and made exactly the way I wanted. Everything tasted fresh and well‑prepared. Overall, this location delivered a great experience from start to finish, and I’ll definitely be coming back the next time I’m in the area.“
