“The quality of our local steak and shakes have significantly improved along with the staff. Much cleaner, tastes better, and even seems more filling than it used to. On top of that the new company policies like banning microwaves, beef tallow for their fried goods, and grass fed beef for the burgers. It went downhill a while ago but I can definitely say it has done a complete 360 and has honestly been one of our families favorite quick fast food locations now. Definitely better than McDonald's.“

“Heather was our server/waitress and she was outstanding. We had a group of about 50 people with about 15 different tabs to organize, and she was so efficient. I have never had such fast service at a sit down restaurant when visiting with a large group. This was a with basketball team and their families. The team all played games after eating, and it was a fun atmosphere. The food was amazing and at our table everyone raved about the boneless wings“

“Great service. We were asked if we qualify for the senior discount. No one had ever asked us that before. We do. So, received a 10% discount. The blizzards were good but looks like the medium size is not as big as in the past. Not surprising

Parking: No problem this time.“

“Weirdly, the best BK in the area. I've only been here between 11am & 2pm. So there's that. Only BK that gets the classic chicken & big fish right. I know that's weird to care about. But almost every other BK is bad at handing over hot food. Again, weird to talk about at work, but more than one coworker says the same thing.“

“I was really impressed with the five guys staff at the West Des Moines location on Mill Civic as I came in at 10:49 PM with an 11 PM closing time. They welcomed me in with smiles and greeted me as if it was the middle of the day. They didn’t seem at all annoyed that it was so late and I was able to have a great conversation with the general manager. It was clear that Customer Service is a priority at the store and I was especially Impressed given the late time Everything was hot, fresh and delicious and it was a great experience overall. I definitely wanted to take the time to give a review considering I went in 11 minutes before the store was closing and they could’ve very well turned me away or been frustrated but instead, they gave great customer service. It was a pleasure and the GM appears to be excited about building the brand and making it a great experience for everyone. Bravo!“
