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 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.“

“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! 😊“

“During our stay in Des Moines we atehere 4x. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Love it. Wanted to take the whole restaurant and staff home to Florida with me. If you haven't had their brussel sprouts, you haven't lived! I'm serious... come here and get them now. And sit at the bar with Gabby - best day ever.“

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

“I came to Hearth of Salt, but doors shared entry point so ended up at BeerStyles. Server was attentive, friendly, and responsive. I ordered the Marto Sherbert Groover (sour) that was very good! I tried the Japchae Noodle bowl with grilled chicken added. I’ve had similar clear sweet potato noodle dishes in the past, but these were a bit dense compared and slightly chewy. There was little sauce and veggies, plus it was hard to stab or spoon from the small bowl served in. Presentation could be improved and a bit more added flavor. All in all a good experience with solid service and atmosphere fit for conversation among guests.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“10/10 kids loved it and the workers make it just that much better!“

“Great smoothie and staff!“

“We had a great experience today Paul our server was excellent oh, you did a great job from start to finish really appreciate it is great customer service. My brother was very impressed with the Durango Burger said it was the best burger he is ever had in his life. My cheeseburger with bacon was very good as well took the way I like it. Appreciate the great service and hospitality and food that we enjoy.“

“The restaurant is immaculate. Floors gleam, spills cleaned up immediately. Staff is courteous and helpful. Buffet has a wide variety, appealing to differing tastes. Music is relaxing. A good place for a leisurely meal.“

“Very good food and great service. Now I know restaurants are trying to turn over tables but when like no one is there what's the rush? Second time (not here 2 times) in a short while that we get up to go to bathroom and after we asked for a to go box, personnel take all our stuff at the table including food box. Now, I will say that when I went to go get the check paid (didn' t do before to signify that I was coming back) after bathroom viisit that took a little while, they did replace it free.

We did think that the sign near the bathrooms was great 😁 .“
