20 Best Sports Bars near Waukee

“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.“

“My son and I had a great time!!! The staff was amazing and food was perfect! 🐻 Down!!!!“

“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.“

“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 went here for the first time because I was given a coupon from my realtor (Brett Fine - best realtor ever) and little did I know it would quickly become my favorite local restaurant. I’ve tried several items from pickle fries to the gyro, Tito’s flatbread, Alfredo, etc and everything had tasted wonderful and always comes out hot. The service is always top tier - friendly, efficient. Can’t say enough good things about Tito’s.“

“This is now the craphole of bar & grille places in central Iowa. While we had a good server, Sam, the rest of the experience was well below expectations. The worst wings I've ever had. Fried nuggets with sauce just poured over. What used to be really good boneless wings are now awful. Two tables there the whole night. Heard they're charging for lemon/lime slices for drinks. Needless to say will not be back under current ownership. Shame on you.“

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

“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 :)“

“Randomly stopped here. Amazing chicken Alfredo pizza and great mixed drinks!!! Oh ... And the bartender was amazingly fun!“

“Great place to grab a beer and food with friends and coworkers.“

“Awesome place to have a birthday party, your weekly golf league or just to keep your swing in shape during the off season! Not to mention all the foods made in house! 🤌🏻“

“Great food and service! Great place to watch a game. Better than average food and TV’s everywhere“

“Sarah and Bailey accommodated our group this afternoon. We had a large group come in today from Interstate Batteries for a company outing. They were so welcoming and gracious. They hustled hard and smiled the entire time. They made the experience fun and easy. Thank you Sarah and Bailey for everything“

“(1 star part) We got placed in an area with NO server and the waitress/host for the night was RUDE AND AWFUL!

I'm giving it 5 stars because Angelo noticed we had been sitting for a while and no one came to us. He took us on even though it wasn't his table! He was professional, personable and always right there when we needed anything! He even came over and had conversations with us when it was slow! He DEFINITELY turned our bad start to an AMAZING finish!

Thanks Angelo for a GREAT service!“
