“We always have a great time at Gilroy’s, but tonight went above and beyond! When our server found out we were celebrating my birthday, not only did she bring me a dessert on the house, but she also brought me a birthday card signed by the staff and a coupon for my next visit. She even caught that I’d ordered a vegetarian meal and a mocktail and tailored the coupon accordingly. It was so thoughtful and I wish I would have caught her name because she was truly incredible and deserves a shout out!”

“My family and I recently stopped at Smash Park in Des Moines on a whim for some family fun and food. The atmosphere was laid back and our kids thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor pickle ball courts and the arcade. Food, dessert and drinks were all crowd pleasers! And to go completely over the top, we left our blanket outside and Jerry answered my phone call, went outside to retrieve it from the bench where I left it, and mailed it back to me free of charge. In a world where kindness and customer support are harder and harder to come by, Jerry and Smash Park get a 10/10 from this family!!!”

“We had dinner there tonight and I also had one of the Iowa mules. I don’t think I can recommend this place enough! Most places either make the drinks too strong but they taste gross or not strong enough and you don’t get your moneys worth, but this was probably the best mule I’ve ever had. Also the food was delicious and on a Saturday night we had no wait!”

“I was in WDM from Denver visiting family for a week when I happened to wander into this gem of a place my first evening there. Abel, Hillary and Clay made me immediately feel at home and I ended up coming back almost every night of my weeklong stay in WDM. The regulars were top notch entertaining, the beers cold and decently priced and the food delicious. Loved the whole vibe! A true gem in the area. I will 💯 be back next time I come to town!”

“Had a pickup order, had the Nashville hot chicken sandwich, food was ready very fast and was one of the best chicken sandwiches I’ve ever had. One small gripe is I wish it had a little more of the hot oil.”

“We stopped in for a much needed family dinner with it 6 &4 year old and 6 week old and were nervous about making it through the meal with good behavior. Everyone from the servers, bartenders, and even guests showed us the greatest kindness and most understanding and the food (specifically the prime rib) was a complete 10/10. We might be back every Friday”

“The Salt of Hearth (attached to Beerstyles) was the venue we chose for our son's rehearsal dinner. We could not have been happier with the entire process. We met with Andrea and Matthew to go over the details of the dinner. I was impressed with the amount of time they spent with us to make sure they knew what we wanted for the meal and drinks, the atmosphere, and details we never thought about. The space was perfect. The Salt Bistro and Salt Lounge was the perfect space for our group. We set a time with Andrea and Matthew to decorate the venue. They were there to help us set up, provided suggestions for how to best set up the room and gave us ample time to decorate. The designated bar area made it easy for guests to order drinks and mingle until everyone arrived. Keagen made sure the drinks and meal were perfect. The ice cream bar was a big hit. Again, we could not have been happier with Matthew, Andrea and Keagan for making our rehearsal dinner a relaxing carefree night.”

“Our first time at Texas Roadhouse on Mills Civic Parkway.Our children had recommended it to us.Busy at 2pm Sat afternoon.Small wait.First thing I observed was the atmosphere.Very light-hearted and the employees actually seemed to really enjoy their workplace and the vast amount of patrons coming into eat. We were seated and almost immediately our server Maddi was there for our drink/ appetizer orders. There was some Birthday singing being done for various customer's special days.Food was served as soon as salads were done.Very nice salad almost like a mini main course salad.We had steak and barbecue chicken with steak fries and fresh vegetables.The dinner was excellent everything was fresh That was supposed to be fresh and the steaks were excellent done just right!!Everyone thanked us and wished us a good evening.I would recommend this Texas Roadhouse to anyone wishing to have a very good delicious reasonably priced meal.”

“Stumbled on this place while just looking for the nearest spot for lunch, and what a happy accident! It just needs a bit more lighting/signage out front, since I almost drove right past it without noticing. But once inside, the ambiance is lovely, cozy and welcoming. I had the chicken pita and it was absolutely delicious. Service was great and the price is very reasonable for the quality. Give them a try, you won’t regret it!”
