13 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Des Moines

“We had low expectations because of some of these reviews - but all those people must have come here at the wrong time because we showed up at 3:00AM and the food was excellent. Great portion size, fresh vegetables, awesome hummus. My husband didn’t get what he ordered (a beef and lamb gyro) and got a lamb, rice, hummus pita plate instead but it was still really good. The curveball here is that we were stone cold sober.“

“Best Mexican food I’ve ever had hands down! Great food great service! Never disappoints! Would recommend burrito express to anyone!“

“All the food we ordered was impeccable!strawberry banana French toast is full of flavor. The skillets are seasoned perfect and loaded. The buiscits and gravy were unique! Gravy was light and the biscuits were airy and not dry. We didn’t sit down and we got all our food to go through an app so I can’t say how the customer service is.“

“Mediocre at best. I was excited to try their new caramel apple butter hot chocolate. The whipped cream with the caramel apple sauce was great then a very disappointing watered down Swiss Miss like hot chocolate under it was very underwhelming.“

“I have been here a few times, service is excellent and even if they are busy they always find time to be respectful to you. Food is good, nothing really special, they have a nice selection of omelettes and there home fried potatoes are excellent. If I am in the area and hungry I will come here but I won't make a special trip.“

“We came up to Seattle for a weekend and Shelly’s was the first place we ate at. It has a very home-y feel and the service was great and friendly. We had the pleasure of meeting Shelly and she was an absolute doll! Unfortunately, we weren’t able to make it back and eat there a second time, but I wish we would’ve! The food and service is amazing.“

“We placed our order, waited on hour. The waitress was a mess. I'm not sure if our ticket was ever given to the kitchen. We left without eating. The waitress did charge us for the tea my friend ordered. Never again.“

“Haven’t been to IHOP in years and I went with my crazy family and the team here took good care of us.

As we know how ridiculous it can be to coordinate with family, the host staff were so patient and direct with us. Want to give a big shout out to the hosts, Athena and her team.
Our server, Carlos, was so helpful and always checked in with us.

This might be the new family hangout spot!“

“IHOP is one of those eating establishments I take for granted. The food is quick, it will fill you up, but don't expect too much. But this past weekend I had a totally unexpected experience at their Renton location on Rainier Avenue - a hamburger that was one of the best I ever ate. I always only order the Jalapeno Kick burger, which is always satisfying the way anything is when you add grilled onions and pickled jalapenos. But this one was exceptional. First, it was obvious that the hamburger patty was made with fresh ground beef, not one of those pre-pressed, perfectly round, frozen blobs that's usually between two buns. The burger was stacked high with bacon, cheese and condiments and the bun glistened with melted butter. But, it was the first bite that made the difference. Juices from the meat and tomatoes exploded in my mouth and the grilled vegetables brought up the rear. The seasoning was perfect (I didn't have to add salt and pepper), and everything was hot. Please excuse the posted pictures. I was half way through my meal when I decided this meal was worthy of praise. Sorry about the piece of missing meat on the back side of the burger, I was trying to even it up with the bun! I need to also give a shout out to the staff and manager, who walked to every table to see if we had what we needed or whether we needed more of anything. Well done, Renton IHop. Well done.“

“The food was delicious and came out fast.. However our server Jay was quick and friendly towards us. He has been our server multiple times and never fails to make us laugh“

“My husband and I came by for brunch before heading to IKEA and I’m so glad we did. This is a lovely diner and the employees really care about providing you a fresh, delicious meal. Don’t come here if you are in a big hurry but if you have the time, do it. It was all good but the biscuits and gravy is the best! Next time we are in the area, we will prioritize coming back!“

“Food was delivered quickly and cooked exactly how I asked! I was helped by a really nice man named Zen, he was super nice and made sure I had everything I needed!“
