28 Best Vegan Restaurants in West Des Moines

“The staff is super friendly food is so good!!!“

“We became super fan of this restaurant since the first visit ❣️ Our babies are now eating here and love it. Good place for Family and friends. Incredible atmosphere ❤️“

“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!!!“

“This is our first time here and it was amazing! The atmosphere is straight out of the 80s/90s and being a GenX it was awesome! Even the menu was a flash back to the past. The food was phenomenal! Their breakfast potatoes were to die for and I don’t do hash browns usually. Chelsey S was a top of the line server. The only minor complaint was the hostess didn’t know if they served Pepsi or Coke products. Just seemed odd her not knowing. I would hands down recommend this for a breakfast place.“

“The atmosphere of The Breakfast Club was elite! I loved the colorful decor and the music was great! It was a little hot in there but July in Iowa and a busy place I’m sure the air was struggling to keep up! I had the breakfast poutine and it was amazing! Bacon, gravy, and cheese curds are my favorite food groups so I was happy! My aunt had the breakfast tacos which were delicious as well! The portions were huge so we even had leftovers! Our waitress Jen was wonderful! Super attentive and friendly! This was our first time here and we will definitely be back!“

“A go-to cozy neighborhood staple that never disappoints. Amazing specialty cocktails, great juicy burgers and best salmon in town.“

“I got the pub steak sandwich! And omg I wanted to float away! So good! Can’t even start! Everything! Ranch and salad!!!🥗 my goodness gracious! So good! 😊“

“I've always loved coming here with friends and having a morning girl date. I have even come here in the past for an evening event with drinks and appetizers, we really enjoy this place. They have good coffee. Good breakfast. The only reason I gave them 4 stars, instead of 5 is because I really wish they would bring back the crumpets. This is one of the very few places we could find that had crumpets on the menu, I really, really wish they would bring them back.“

“I want to give a shout out to Early Birds restaurant in West Des Moines. Kevin was a fantastic bartender. First time I have been here. The food was amazing. I love the atmosphere. The whole concept is great. The menu… too many things to choose from. I got the Cinnamon roll French toast. Delicious. And the Hashbrown holes delicious. It was great to get an appetizer before my French toast. I have to give a shout out to Kevin as he knows everything on the menu plus he has great suggestions for drinks from the bar! Will deffinately be going back again.“

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Big Açaí is hands down one of my favorite spots! The bowls are always fresh, beautifully made, and packed with flavor. I love that they offer so many customizable options so you can build exactly what you’re craving — whether you’re going for something fruity and light or rich and satisfying. The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and everything tastes amazing every time. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something delicious and nutritious!“

“As you walk in you are immediately greeted by a friendly staff with a welcoming attitude which is also uttered as you leave. My wait staffer — Shaquille - was very professional and delivered my appetizer of dumplings along side a bowl of steam rice. As you circle the grill masters there are a variety of fresh options from proteins, veggies, soups, sauces and desserts. The grill masters grill your select dish to perfection as you circle around to grab your pleasant smelling creation. The atmosphere is trendy suitable for all gatherings to socialize with an upbeat crowd where there is suitable parking with a reasonable budget friendly menu for most diets.“

“Open and airy restaurant, new menu pics posted, as others were very old.
Ordered the side salad, but not a big fan of cucumber and red onions, mixed greens not my bag, but good.
Staff helpful and friendly, lots of tv's too.“

“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!“

“1st time there, food was incredible and the service was spot on, will definitely be coming back.“

“Great addition to Jordan Creek area. I think it will be my lunch go-to from now on. I had the squash salad with kale. Excellent!“

“Great place love the atmosphere“

“I was so surprised when I went there and that they actually had hot sauce that was spicy. It’s so hard to find a place that has really spicy salsa ☺️“

“My partner and I have gotten sushi from Banana Leaf several times now, and it never disappoints! We usually start with the pork pot stickers and get some sushi rolls to share, and they have all been fresh and delicious.“

“Yesterday, my 8 year old granddaughter and my daughter in law came to your restaurant for lunch.
My granddaughter is on a strict diet due to health reasons. The employees were so caring and were going out of their way to make her lunch pleasurable! Her mother and I appreciate that so much!!!
There are not many restaurants she can go to and feel that there are food options for her! She was smiling the whole time we were there.
The employees were very kind to her and I saw care and concern towards my granddaughter.
Please thank them for me!“
