50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Des Moines

“PortoVino feels like a hidden upscale speakeasy, with a full enticing menu. Low glowing moody lights, delicious pasta and wine, along with great music. The night I attended, I comfortably read a book over dinner at the bar solo, there were couples, families and a group celebrating a birthday. It's open, yet cozy and warm. Great hidden Des Moines gem, just a short walk away from the waterfront. Extra plus, the staff are lovely and knowledgeable people.“

“Fantastic food, vibes and service. Moored here in our boat and looked forward to going there each day. Thanks“

“Finally got in for a fabulous lunch at the new Fish and Chicken House! I tried and loved the Indian style fish and chips 😋 followed by Galub Jamun heated! Highly recommend! Cute, sparkly clean, and delicious food!“

“Sitting in my car shaking and crying, barely able to compose myself to drive right now. Those who frequent Auntie Irene's beware of the owner. She just yelled at me infront of the whole shop, about parking out front. It sent me into a anxiety riddened, ptsd fueled state. There were zero parking stalls when l pulled into the coffee shop. l was grabbing my one coffee and leaving. l would be there for 5 minutes maybe 10 at most. I parked snuggled up along the the flower bed north of the shop, in front of the rhodedendron/north of the deck. On the other side of the flower bed is parking stalls. Just to exactly detail where l was parked. Completely out of anyone's way. There is no posted sign saying "no parking here", nor is it a painted fire lane. If that were the case, of course l wouldn't park there. That's obvious. I was not blocking her drive thru window line or blocking either entrance to her shop. I wasn't in the way of people needing to back out ,since they have to turn the other way to exit. After placing my coffee order, an waiting about 5 minutes at a table, she came out of no where and reprimanded me like a child....She could have politely introduced herself and asked me to move. She never even told me who she was. For all l knew, she was a crazed lady bossing me around. No "hi", "hello" or "how are you?". She just marched up to me without identifying shes the owner and started in on me. I would have had zero problem being asked to move, if she had gone about it in a decent manner, that most "adults" are capable of. Her tone was egregious and severely uncalled for. Over the years, l have heard rumors about an aggressive, petite, blonde haired, older lady named Susie as the owner. That was the only reason l deduced this must be the owner, becuase like l stated she did not tell me who she was at all. But, l had only ever seen her maybe 3 times, in all the years I've been going there. I have never spoken to her or even had an one on one encounter with her. So, for her to treat me, complete stranger, who is paying for a comfortable place to enjoy coffee like this, this is wildly uncalled for. I'm a full grown adult mind you, though lve been told, l look young for my age. Even if l was young, it still would not make this encounter okay at all. l was so taken a back, l couldn't even mutter a reply to her. l ran out of the shop and immediately reparked my car. There were stalls open at this point. l had to smoke a cigarette to calm down before l went back in, it rattled me so badly. l was barely able to muster up the courage to go back in for my coffee, without feeling like l was going to start breaking out into tears, if l saw her or had to encounter her again to get my coffee. I came back in, and by then she was no where to be seen... She wasn't there to thank me for moving and understanding her concern. Nothing, she just disappeared. She ambush disciplined me and disappeared, which made it even weirder and more upsetting...Anyways, when l came back in the staff asked me where l went? l didn't want to tell them what happened, so l pretended like l didn't hear their question and barely got out a stiffled, whimper of a "thank you" to them. Rushing out of the shop before they had a chance to see me upset.. I didn't want them to think they were the reason l was in this clearly emotional state. They didn't do anything wrong, so l wasn't about to complain to them about their own boss.There would be nothing they could do about her actions, if she's in charge, ya know? When l got back to my car, l broke down in tears, past PTSD trauma flooding in. I've had experiences like this with some past elder women bosses, in my younger years. I've been subject to 3 very unprofessional older female boss's. Who, in over the years had treated me completely horribly and were very verbally abusive. One even grabbed my arm so hard she left bruising. All of them traumatizing me, using their p“

The decor is a blast from the past, with vintage signs and memorabilia covering every inch of wall space. Don't skip the dill dip (it's made in-house). If you're looking for a spot that's equal parts divey and welcoming, look no further. Cheers to many more years of good times and great vibes!“

“This is a great little cafe serving Vietnamese food and coffees. I had the coconut cold brew and it was great.

It is on a busy intersection and parking is located behind the building and on free on-the-street parking.“

They have a chill area where you can read a book or play a game and an area in the back with darts, foosball, and shuffle board with many TVs playing sporting events. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. They only serve snacks for food, but you can bring whatever food you like it get it delivered to you. We need more places like this!“

“My husband and I loooooove going here for lunch dates! Generous portions, delicious flavors, and great service.

You cannot go wrong! The place can fill up during peak mealtime hours if you’re hoping to dine in at a table with chairs but they do have window stools too.

I always get the gyro plate and it hits every single time. The owner-chefs also sometimes gift us freebie food every now and then which is above and beyond.“

“Went Monday at 2 PM. No line not busy. I like how you can make your own sauce to go with your meal. You pick your food put it in the bowl, then you pay for it and pick whatever soup base.

I will definitely come here again.“

“Had garlic and asian zhing wings both delicious, crunchy and not too spicy. Perfect! Will be back again to try other items, but have already found my go to wings!!!“

“Wow, wow, wow! Their ham, egg, and cheese is of my favorite breakfast sandwiches ever! The ham is full of rich, smoky flavor and pairs so well with the melty cheese and spicy mayo. You can’t go wrong with any item from their bakery either. Their chocolate chip cookie is also one of my favorites. Everyone working here is so kind and welcoming. You can tell they all care about the food as well providing a great atmosphere. One of my favorite spots in Seattle, check them out!!“

“Stopped in for a beer and a bite and had a great afternoon. Despite thw name you gotta suck down a Rusty Dick IPA if you drop in. We also had a Live Iron Amber and the Black hop'rechaun IPA.

You are always friendly and this is just a great place for us to meet on Thursday nights. I can't recommend this establishment enough! shout out to Blake and to the brewer Michael. You are amazing!“

“This is the best neighborhood corner store you could ask for. There are always a lot of kids there for my little ones to run around with while I have a beer, and the owners and all the staff couldn’t be nicer. I see them in other establishments or on walks around the neighborhood and they always wave or stop for a chat. Truly, a store that brings the community together.“

Everything about Vashon is local, historic and unique, Zamorana is a great addition to the diversity of charm and dining choices.“

“Overall pizza is made fresh, with a nice golden crust and the toppings are always fresh and flavorful. Manager and staff are very friendly and personable. I want to give a special shout out to the wife (Rokiyah) of the owner. she is very humble and very accommodating with the last-minute orders. You will not regret ordering at this pizza place. I keep going back for more.“

“The Cajun menu was an incredible surprise. The head chef is from Louisiana and is a magician with Cajun flavors. I ordered the Crawfish Étouffée - Crawfish smothered in a spicy tomato cream sauce with steamed rice. Wow! This is a limited time menu, so visit soon.

Doyle's Public House is a great pub full of interesting people, friendly servers and great beers on tap. I can't wait to go back.“

“I just went for the first time here and wow so impressed with the cookies and cake. The gal who helped us her name is Sara.
She had excellent customer service, spoke about upcoming seasonal cookies and was just a delight to talk to her. Highly recommend this store and thanks Sara for your service.“

“wow, traditional dishes are good, but fusion dishes are better in my opinion. Fusion dishes show the creativity and outside the box thinking. Tried my first sandwich today and will be returning to try others. If you love Binh Mi this is the spot.“
