“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.“

“Back in the early 2000s I worked for Taco John's corporate for a few years. When I moved to an area where they don't have these, I always make a point to stop and eat at one if I am traveling. Back then we were meticulous. I know that they have changed almost all of the top people now, and that this location is a franchise and not owned by the company, but I was disappointed by a couple of very noticable changes. No salsa bar? No super hot sauce, roasted red chipotle, Pico de Gallo, just packets of hot sauce? No olives on the super potato? No bringing my food to my table? As for this location I stopped for lunch off the highway today. I'll say that the potatoes seemed over-seasoned, and the meat and potato burrito had an awful lot of lettuce on it. None of this is too bad. Service was fast and friendly. Bathroom was immaculate. Lady at the register tried to upsell me twice, and when I didn't want a beverage she offered me a free water cup. Doing everything the way we use to. Taco John's has always been more expensive, but you get what you pay for. This one is pretty good, but I wish they had that super hot sauce.“

“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.“

“I’ve been coming here for almost 20 years and I love this place so much. The owners are so wonderful and always remember me when I come in. This place is a true gem. Food is always fresh and piping hot. I will always come here over any other place. I do wish they still did the buffet. I loved the mango chicken they used to have and I wish they would make it as an entree on their menu.
I got the sesame beef adding a little spice, spicy chicken fried rice, pork egg roll, spring rolls and fried dumplings. AMAZING as always!“

“Just wanted to give a shout-out to Arby's in West Des Moines. I'm not always in the mood for Arby's, but I sometimes get in the mood for their roast beef with horseradish sauce and their delicious curly fries (which I've bought at the store for my air fryer). They also have an impressive Greek Gyro, so I have to recommend this place. Customer service was great. The food tastes great and unique in comparison to most fast food joints. The store is clean. I recommend Arby's for a quick, delicious meal.

“I went here for a light dinner since most of my first options were closed.I’m going to guess it was just the end of the day but the drink machine needed some cleaning. The floors near some tables near the walls weren’t much better.Fortunately, the sandwich I got - the Turkey Bacon Ranch - tasted good. The pickle spear was pretty crisp and not dripping with brine (I’m thankful for that).Overall, this Firehouse Subs did a good job on food but I hope they can improve their cleanliness.“

“Wanted to wait until I visited this new location at least four times before giving an honest review. Well, after four visits are not completed, I will say that the staff and owner of this place are doing things the right way! I used to be a subway and Jimmy Johns customer, but after visiting this location multiple times, I am now a Jersey Mike's customer. The owner is really outgoing and easy to talk to, making things more relaxing once the order is being processed. The staff that prepares the food are friendly also, and they aim to please as much as possible (within reason). The sandwiches are built with care, not sloppily put together like other establishments I have visited. The facility is clean, and safety making the sandwiches is always practiced. They are also very efficient getting the order processed in a timely manner. For the near future, this will be my "To-go" place for fast food. Thank you!“

“If Desarina isn't a manager already, she should be. And if she is, she should be recognized for how she handles flow efficiency and customer satisfaction. Granted, she should also relax and hopefully feel appreciated because she's doing amazing and made my experience there some place I would go out of my way to repeat. Building was clean, organized and the staff all looked like they were doing their jobs efficiently and with training and competency. I know that anything that comes out of this location will be correct or it will be remedied.“

Jason at this Jimmy John’s not only made me the best sandwich I’ve ever had but provided excellent customer service! Honestly Jason made the whole experience spectacular and definitely deserves the recognition.“
