26 Best Fast Food Restaurants in West Des Moines

“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.“

“B-bops is AWESOME! Food is AWESOME! I never wait more than 5 minutes for my food. I have almost had every menu item. Superb food Superb service!“

“Always good! Super busy today, inside and out, but the food came out fast. Tables were all clean. Yummy.“

“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“

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

“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 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 have gone to this location many many times. The last two times I was a little let down by the flavor and preparation. For example the quesadilla, all the toppings were in the middle, the edge was 2 inches of plain tortilla all the way around the outside. Also the item I ordered wasn't made with the right ingredients. I will go back, but I need a slight break. The staff are friendly and helpful, maybe more so than other places. That helps.“

“fast food. great service.“

“Went to this location on Friday, 03/06/26. The service and Food here was outstanding! I ordered fish tacos and oles. Both were fantastic. I have been to other taco johns locations, but the courteous, friendly people at this location has everyone else beat. I will definitely return to this location in the future. Thanks!“

“The food took awhile to get for how many people were working there and since it was dinner time. I was glad it wasn't sitting out for long but some of the fries were still undercooked in my opinion. The burger was great though and they didn't skimp on the toppings which is always a plus.“

“Very clean from the restrooms to the ketchup dispensers. Well swept, was mopped after lunch rush when we showed up at 2pm. Food was hot and fresh and timely despite seeming to be at least one or two employees short behind the counter. Refreshing experience!“

“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!“

“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 really enjoy the Sourdough Melt. not a lot of options out there for sourdough or melts so I swing by and make it a double 🫠“

“The subs are out of this world! I like my going to good causes.“

“DEAR PAPA , Please stop putting ranch cups in your HOT pizza boxes on deliveries . Nobody likes warm spoiled at this point spicy ranch 🥹🥵🌶️ Ps: please read - BEST REFRIGERATED. Thank you kindly.“

“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.“

“because the Ice cream is the best 👌 🍦🍦“

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

“Chicken California the best!“

“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!“

“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.“

“This is an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING Chinese food restaurant! The menu selection is AWESOME -- and the team members are SUPER friendly, attentive and accommodating! I've been having the grilled teriyaki chicken and super greens -- broccoli, kale and cabbage -- because of the terrific protein content in the meal! The restaurant's dining environment is comfortable and relaxing as the team members work hard to make sure customers have a GREAT dining experience! My dining experience at Panda Express dates back over a decade, when I lived in Arizona and went to a Panda Express there often; after all these years, it's heartwarming to know that Panda Express continues to offer FABULOUS Chinese food and that its team members continue to make sure customers have DELICIOUS meals in a pleasant atmosphere! So I highly recommend Panda Express for its EXCELLENT offering of the MOST TASTY Chinese cuisine! -- Ian 😋“

“The service was fast. The employee was efficient, professional, pleasant, and hard-working. I thought the options were somewhat minimal, but my wife ate all her Broccoli and Beef entree with noodles. I thought the food looked fresh enough, and the area seemed to be clean.“

“The sun is setting, the drive is short and you want a sandwich that is easy to navigate as you complete your end of the day activities then stop in at Jimmy John’s on 8th in West Des Moines. The staff have the professional looks, clean environment and are customer forward to prepare your sandwich with attention to detail. The toasted Chicken Ranch Sandwich is totally delicious. Grab it and go!“
