One of the best hidden gem lunch cafes in Des Moines. Amazing food, the ladies work hard and stay busy serving their regulars. Cash only. Worth every penny.

So surprised that can not use credit card or debit card. Well 98% do not carry cash. Employees were nice, but the stares me and my daughter got when we came in from the customers. Is we shouldn’t came in there, but the employees were friendly.

I went in today and got the special which was an Italian Chopped sandwich for $12.50. Not only was it not good AT ALL , it definitely was not worth the price tag. Very disappointed!!

I really don't think there's enough room to say how great this place is. It's very well priced, and for that price, you walk out stuffed. We had the maid-rites, but we are planning to go back and try each and every item they have..
I've only had beefburger fries and onion rings all we good.Fun little diner. Seating is sometimes crowded but not to much of a wait.

This is a small Cafe that serves the best beef burgers. There is also a number of other items to choose from. Service is great and friendly. Nothing fancy but a nice place for lunch. And prices are very reasonable.

Paula's must be The destination for Maid Rite sandwiches. Everyone ordered them & is obviously the local favorite. Not being from the area, the entire experience was endearing, from standing under sign at the lunch counter to order & pay (cash only) then you select your table while your sandwich is made fresh & brought to you. Very interesting sandwich, similar to a Sloppy Joe with No sauce. Watching the regulars, you bus your own dishes to help keep overhead low & your delicious food affordable. A Must experience

Have been going here for years and best maid-rites around. Also the funnel cake fries are awesome ? ? ?
I love Paula's. The maid rite is superb and the Mac and cheese was delightful! Love the cozy atmosphere. Takes you back to the good old days! The ladies working make you feel welcome and cook some delicious grub!

Was near Valley Junction today running errands and a Google search for dining options led us here. Very nice Cafe with a good offering of Comfort Food options. We both had the Maid-Rites which were very good. We enjoy supporting local establishments and will definitely be back.
