50 Best Burger Restaurants near Windsor Heights

“The rumors are true.. the food is too tasty to pass up.. I have recommended this place countless times already“

“Looking for a good “Chicken Breast Sandwich,” or A “tasty Barbecue Bacon Burger” with delicious toppings the drive up to B-Bops on 73rd is the place. All fast foods may have the same name, but the staff and the care for the signature product may be different. At 73rd the staff cares about the presentation of the product as well as assembling a well made entree. The flavors are on an average on par thanks to management making sure the products are fresh and the staff continuously well trained even in their appearance. It says a lot about their fast food. They care in what they deliver to you. Nice work on consistently serving up good burgers and customer service.“

“Rayon burger and the fries brussel sprouts were amazing!“

“This restaurant notified us, after we ordered online for delivery, that they believed our driver took our order. They called to tell us that before we even had a chance to believe there was a problem, and fully communicated what the issue was. They remade our order and it was delivered less than a half hour after they discovered the issue. Superior customer service. Highly recommend.“

“We were in Des Moines for a soccer tournament and ran across you guys. I was diagnosed with celiac 3 years ago and you guys made hands down the best GF burger and tots I have had in 3 years. That includes better than in n out burger since you guys actually have a bun and they don’t. It’s also the best gf bread I have found in 3 years. I hope to someday make it back again!“

“First time eating here. Friendly staff, fast service, reasonable prices, generous portions and delicious burgers and fries. I enjoyed the mushroom Swiss burger with perfectly seasoned crinkle fries. Our daughter is home from college, and she told us that’s the best burger she’s had in a long time. She had the bacon cheeseburger. Hubby had the double cheeseburger, it looked great too. He must’ve enjoyed it, he ate the whole thing! Glad we found this place, we will be back.“

When we got the food back to my office everything was perfect. The food was amazing. My boss who usually trashes anything I order if it isn’t something in his usual food places, well he absolutely loved it and said next time we ever get burgers that’s where we are going from this point on! Thanks again Uptown!“

“everything was delicious“

“I not only was going through a breakup but just really self sabotaging , I went to eat at IHOP and my whole day changed . My server was Nicki , The food was great , the atmosphere was comfortable & to make it Soo much better , Nicki really made me feel seen , She stopped and checked on me countless times to make sure I was okay . Her warm presence and welcoming attitude made me feel safe. Before I left she made sure I had a refill and was mentally okay ! I can't thank Nicki enough for her great service and conversation. Thank you .“

“Great food and staff. I have been coming here pretty much my whole life and it’s always been great.“

“I went through the drive in and was greeted by a friendly young girl who took my order. She came back with my order within a few minutes. The order was correct and I was on my way. I had the Chicago dog w/no tomatoes. The food was wonderful, and I considered it to be a real bargain. Oh yeah, I'm coming back.“

“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 😁 .“

“The inside is small but mighty! Great location for a bar surrounded by shops, restaurants and all the downtown activities. Their outdoor seating area is perfect for people watching! The food truck was awesome as well. Cheap drinks, tasty food truck options and it's prime location for a day or night out. We would go back again!“

“Went through the drive thru yesterday for lunch for my toddler. The line was crazy for drivers side so we went through passenger side and I let him pass the money out his own window and get his food. He loved it and the guy working the window was amazing with him! He had the biggest smile!“

“We had a great experience at the Ankeny IHOP. Our experience was most impacted by our server Kylie! She was nothing short of AMAZING! There were a few mixups on our order from the kitchen and she handled the entire experience with tremendous GRACE, urgency, and a level of service that you wouldn't expect from a teenager! She is FANTASTIC! Thank you Kylie! We will be back whenever we are in town to see you! 💓“

“Fabulous!! Great service! Food was yummy, hot and fresh!“

“One of the only spots all of kids and all of the adults in our family agree on. It’s kid friendly, tons of menu options, food is consistently great, service is friendly.“

“Very good service the are very nice people and kindly“

“This looks like a regular restaurant and more expensive than DQ from the outside, but was surprisingly inexpensive with meals (burger, fries, drink) ranging from packages that are $6+. The food is very similar to DQ, as well as the shakes similar to DQ blizzards, but the prices are to similar to Burger King's coupon deals and the environment like a retro 1960's restaurant. Super surprised at the great prices! Photos shown are just like the actual food.“

“As Senator Grassley says, it's a good place for u kno what. I agree.“

“great restaurants! thanks for providing discounted burgers, every weekend for ever! you've helped so many people have a nice meal for the whole family. BEST BURGERS IN DES MOINES!“

“Took my mom and brother here on Friday to try to cheer my brother up after a bad day and our waitress Dey did just that and more! She had an AMAZING attitude, was very attentive to our table, never did a drink go low and she just had the best vibe I’ve ever experienced while eating out. She even offered a drink to go, just going above and beyond with her service. If you go here make sure to ask for Dey, she’ll make your experience worth while!!“

“I am the type of person that loves positivity and giving great reviews. Give honor to where honor is due. And I give great reviews, call the managers and praise the service all the time. I have also had my share of terrible service and/or food and usually do not say a word. The experience I had this afternoon at Culvers in Ankeny was horrendous. The food that is. The drive through guy that took my order, payment and delivery was so kind and helpful. I ordered a cod dinner and was only able to eat some of the fish. The 2 sides I ordered were cheese curds and fries. Both were so cold, hard and dry. I was so disappointed. The roll that came with it was cold, hard and dry as well. The butter was good! I did eat most of the fish but it too was tough. WHAT has happened to Culvers? Don't they realize that they are not the only option for food? Sad to say but I will be going to those other options for my meals in the future. The concrete I ordered was sloppy (down side of cup) and melting but did taste good. I HATE leaving a poor review but come on Culvers. Do better. Be better. If it had been just 1 food this review would never have been written. Oh, side note. This was after the lunch rush and before dinner rush. It was close to 2. Got right into drive through with no waiting. Disappointed.“

“Es un buen restaurante su comida es rica“

“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 🫠“

“Spent Father’s Day here. We played games for 4 hours with the unlimited pass. Had a great time & really enjoyed the time & the atmosphere.
Kingston in the ticket redemption place was phenomenal & made a lasting impression on us & our experience.“

“I give my positive review“

“This place is the bee’s knees. Consistent fast fresh & friendly. Fair prices too. They’ll modify your order to make you something, even if it’s not on the menu. They used to have a burger I liked that wasn’t on the menu, but our server Levi knew what we were talking about and told the kitchen. The best service we’ve seen for a long while.“

“Both the ladies in the Chrome Cafe was very professional, courteous, friendly, & with great attitude. And my order was done in a fast & timely manner that I didn't even get comfortable in my seat to wait for the order to be done. Will definitely come back to see them two again. And yes the veggie burger & fries was cooked to perfection. Well done all around ladies. See you when I'm back in town again. Layta PS... I eat majority of the food as I was typing this lol.“

“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.“

“Awesome food, awesome service“

“We had a variety of choices for an evening meal, and we chose The Other Place Ankeny. What a great pick! They had the right balance of everything we like in a restaurant.
The Food: we went with the Sampler for our appetizer. It didn't disappoint. The onion rings and fried mushrooms were delightfully delicious. The two chicken tenders and mozzarella sticks were prepared perfectly. House-made marinara, ranch, and honey mustard dressing served on the side were especially great.
While their menu is straightforward. We liked the SICILIAN pizza. It's a brushed garlic-basil oil, Italian sausage, spinach, mushrooms, red onions, sun-dried tomatoes, red peppers, and mozzarella. Since they have been making pizzas for over fifty years they know something about what makes a great pizza. It had the right balance of toppings, sauce, and dough. This isn't some cookie-cutter pizza either. It has definitive flavors and tastes. Our drinks were there while we perused the menu. Seeing some of the cuisine coming out of the kitchen wet our appetite for our next visit.
The Service: Here's where they did well, with just a few faux-paus. Our server was on point with drinks and the kitchen delivered our food fast and hot. At the end of the meal, we asked for a box for the rest of our food. She had just a few tables and forgot about our request. She came back after checking on her other tables and asked if we wanted a box. Then she went to service her other tables before coming back. We then had to wait to pay our bill (which is done by her POS device). You don't know what's on the bill until your receipt is printed.
The Atmosphere: this is the way a sports bar and grill is done well. While there were multiple TVs, with a lot of action, (the NBA playoffs, NHL playoffs, and Cubbies- who have been on a tear) were all muted. This made for being able to enjoy our meal and the overall vibe of the place. The eclectic choices of decor and signage made it interesting to take note of the whole place. The seating options were especially nice. With short and long booths, table and bar stool tops, and a bar adequately spaced made it that much easier to have a fantastic time.
The bathrooms are clean and well-maintained.
We loved our meal and bookmarked it for another visit.
Update: we went back, and boy did they impress. Everything was perfect.“

“The lady that works there is very nice and I like the Facebook deals they offer.“
