Good food and service was great I had the queso burger and it was an open faced burger which was a bit of a surprise but a good one. Fries were good wife had the Turkey melt and it was real good. We each had a couple of Mules, watermelon and cucumber/mint both were refreshing.

I’ve been wanting to try this place for a while because I had heard good things about it and it has been around for a long time. So I had high hopes for it. Unfortunately I found it very disappointing. When my husband and went last night, the parking lot was packed and the place was full inside. We thought that was a good sign.
The waitress told us before we ordered that there would be a long wait because they had so many orders in at that moment. We didn’t have a problem with that and appreciated the heads up from her. We ended up waiting about 40 minutes for our food. We figured it would be that long.
I ordered the New York steak and pepper sandwich and my husband got the bacon cheddar burger. I asked if they could add sautéed onions to my sandwich and the waitress said it wouldn’t be a problem. When I got my sandwich there were no onions added, the meat was chopped up into cubes instead of being in thin strips like I thought they’d be and the meat wasn’t seasoned. My husband said his hamburger wasn’t seasoned either. Neither were our fries. And most of my husband’s fries looked like they were the tiny remnant pieces from the bottom of the bag. They were just warm and not very hot so they weren’t crispy. They had probably been sitting for a while. Everything tasted very bland. We couldn’t remember the last time we had such bland food. I can’t figure out why people like this place so much. We definitely won’t be back. We have had better tasting and less expensive food from other places.
I was going to give this place two stars, but I added a half star because the waitstaff did a great job and they were hustling when it was very busy.

My wife and I had a Chicken Philly and a Cuban and they were both awesome! The chips were really good but we were mixed on the cheese. My only disappointment was I ate so many chips I could only eat half of my sandwich! Not to worry, I ate it at home later! We would definitely recommend it to others!

Great food and great service, the place was busy yet everything flowed very nicely. The food was awesome with everything house made and everyone in our party loved their food. They kept a nice full crowd coming and going and like they say, "if it is busy, it must be good". Well, that the truth about this place. It is good!

I absolutely love coming here. We got to sit out on the patio this time! We had the best waitress, Lauri. We absolutely love when we get sat in her section!! She suggested the key lime martini which I have never had. Wow! It was dessert in a glass. I also tried cucumber mule.
We then decided to try something different this round. So we choose the queso dip add Italian sausage!! Total game changer and now will have to get that every time!!!!
I stuck with my usual sandwich chicken philly no peppers with honey mustard and ranch. Their honey mustard so good to dip my sandwich and fries in. He got turkey sandwich with loaded fries. Everything was amazing as always!!

A longtime bar & grill on the south side of Des Moines. Friendly staff, great nachos and a small but lively atmosphere make this place great. Has a neighborhood feel, but is well known all across the city.
