REVIEWS OF Americana IN Iowa

John Loughren

Great food, Saturday brunch had a lot of options and great service.

Private Reviewer

Definitely on the higher end for the atmosphere, but yet the prices were very reasonable despite being such a nice place. I enjoyed the food and had good service as well. The Steak Philly sandwich with home-made ranch chips was delicious! Definitely a great spot for a nice meal, nice date, or treating a customer to a nice meal. Check it out!!!

Erin Crawford

The servers did a great job of handling my hard to handle grandmother. She had a great time the food was great!

Sarah Parillo

$20 for an elaborate all-you-can-eat brunch buffet. The biscuits and gravy are really good!!

Dan Black

I rarely leave reviews, but this spot is consistently the best brunch for miles around. I forgot the girl's name but she really hustled to take care of any issues I had and I very much appreciated the kind service.

Walter Dillman

Excellent service, atmosphere and food!

Hannah

Such a fun experience! Our waitress was so fun and we loved having her. The food was delicious and the drinks were great. The atmosphere is nice, really set the mood for a really great night. My family and I absolutely plan to come again.

Matthew Steven

Good food and drink selection. Great service with nice atmosphere.

Anthony Caligiuri

I've had dinner and drinks here but this was my first time experiencing the brunch buffet for 32$. Wow, what a good time. Grilled cheese bar, all the breakfast options, soups, tacos, deserts, bloody Mary bar and mimosas and many more. The quality of the food is good and better than most buffets for having so many options. I will be back and try to bring many people with me.

Dylan Verhoef

I only had drinks and apps here but they were well made and the service was top notch. I look forward to eating here sometime as I've been multiple times and only had an app before an event or drinks with some friends so I haven't gotten the full experience. That said, Americana is a awesome ambiance. It's noisy but not cramped and you don't feel like you need to shout to talk to people at your table. Pricing is medium but fits the type of restaurant and its location. Like I said, I haven't had the food but mixed drinks were between $7 and $12 but seemed to be of high quality and the service is on point. I'll update my review once I've eaten st Americana.

Brian Blodgett

Interesting mules. Some different flavors that were very good.

Devin Shaw

An awesome restaurant. I visited for breakfast/ brunch. Their brunch buffet is next level! For all you can eat it was $20-30 a person including drinks. I'd consider going back if I am in the area.

Daniel Avila

Bartender is great. Salesman drink it the best in town.

Troll Troll

Some of the best service I've ever had and a great meal to go with it.

Steve Karnes

Sunday brunch is second best in Des Moines. I've celebrated some birthdays here, wouldn't recommend it for groups over 6. It's busy, the kitchen is amazing, wait staff is hit and miss. Call ahead if you want to dine in with a group.

J Trent

Americana is one of my favorite places to eat and grab a few drinks in Des Moines. The food, service, and drinks are excellent. I've never ordered something I didn't just love. The Thai Tacos and Polenta Frites are my new favorites. Even the staff that work here LOVE the food. I couldn't recommend this place more. Plus, the location is right across the street from Des Moine's sculpture park, which is a nice area for a stroll after indulging in the food and drinks at Americana. And the bartenders know how to make excellent cocktails and make everyone feel welcome. One more thing, the atmosphere in this place is cool! It used to be an old Chrysler Dealership way back in the day. The building that houses Americana has history and nostalgic decor!

Stephen Michael

We came to Americana because we had burgers on our mind. We didn't notice their lunch and dinner menu changed so drastically when it came to burgers, from six at lunch and two at dinner. But really there was only one when I questioned the waiter about it. Boursin Burger* was not on the dinner menu. We ordered the only burger we could, and waited a reasonable amount of time for our food. The Crab Rangoon was simple the best I have ever tasted. I ordered my burger medium and it was rare, pretty sure it moo'ed at me. I asked the waiter what he thought and he agreed they looked undercooked...and that is where he left it. $18 dollar burger and fries. For the choice at dinner I would skip this place unless you want steak, and even then can the "chef" cook it to your order.

Bridgett Robinson

The hype is REAL! The bombshell brunch is wonderful! So much variety and the endless Mimosas and Bloody Mary's hit the spot! Well worth the money! Our waiter Matt was amazing and definitely make sure you make reservations as it is super busy!

Ryan Epps

Excellent service and food! My medallions were cooked to a perfect Medium Rare, and the mashed potatoes were to die for. I highly recommend!

SADMULE

Good breakfast/brunch buffett on early Sat afternoon. Place was packed but food was good and service timely for size of crowd.

Zachariah Climer

I loved it! Fantastic food, the bartender was awesome! Really cool atmosphere. I will definitely be coming back!

Robert Lowe

Great food and excellent atmosphere

Jamie Moore

Great food! Pricey though. Probably best brunch in the metro!

Derek De Haai

Monday nite all you can eat chicken$15 FANTABULOUS

Ann Marie

The Sunday buffet was really good, but i don't think anyone actually eats $20 worth of food! If you decide to go, MAKE RESERVATIONS because this place is busy!!!! I gave it 3 stars because our waitress, Ally, did not smile once the entire time she waited our table, hardly made eye contact and never really bothered to come to our table and take the dinnerware...another waitress had to do it! She even snatched the ticket and credit card from another waitress that was trying to help her out by taking it to her so she could cash us out! If you don't mind paying $20 for a brunch buffet; possibly getting a rude waitress and waiting over an hour to eat, (we had reservations) then go ahead and enjoy! The food was good!!

Sydney K

Loved the brunch buffet! Great selection of food and everything tasted great!

SHELLIE DRAKE

Always a wonderful selection of foods for the buffet brunch.

Brittany

Excellent service and Top-Notch Bombshell brunch! Soooooo many amazing brunch options: from your staples (eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravy) to tacos, mac and cheese bar, mashed potato bar, and grilled cheese station... plus all the fruits and desserts your heart could desire. And sho can say no to bottomless mimosas?! Can't wait to come back!

Scott Cooper

Good happy hour specials and tasty food.

Lorin Crowe

AMAZING STAFF AMAZING FOOD AMAZING ENVIROMENT Totally recommend the crab Rangoon dip and any entree

Lanka Dasanayaka

Lunch was great. Service was attentive and the food was good. Great work lunch spot.

D Mendez

We were going to eat at proof but the waitress was a b*tch, so we walked across the street to Americana, very glad we did. The vibe of the place was much nicer, our waiter was friendly and quick with refills, food was good. All 5 of us were happy we ended up there, seemed much nicer overall than proof, which is prob why Americana was nearly full and proof was barely half full.

Tiffany Mauch

The Sunday brunch is very good. It used to be better, but they raised the prices and took out one of the best (and more expensive) parts of the brunch--fruit crepes. They still have fruit but not to the variety that they used to with the crepes. The fruit is now the average fruit that you could get at Perkins. The variety and amount of food is amazing and the food tastes good too. The bloody Mary and Mimosa bar has a lot of selection for you to custom make your drink but good luck getting your server to serve you the alcohol needed for your drink in a timely manner. Because it's a buffet on Sunday, I believe the servers are less attentive than they are normally so it's hard to find yours to get them to give you the alcohol so you can get more refills for your bloody Mary mimosa. I stopped getting the bloody Mary and Mimosa option after three visits, because after the first drink it's hard to find them. Parking is metered street parking (except Sunday) so that can be difficult. We went once for dinner and the food was good but not for the price. After our last visit, where we found out they took the crepes away (which is my Husband's favorite part of Americana brunch), I'm not sure if we'll be as frequent visitors as we were in the past. We used to love going but the difficulty of getting alcohol for your unlimited mimosa/bloody mary, the increased cost and now no crepes, we'll probably save it for out-of-town guests instead of our go-to brunch.

Scott Caslow

Split the burger and fries and both were amazing

Tayler Kurzawinski

I had a very lovely time! My server, Sean Gay, was just FANTASTIC! Definitely will be going there again.

Curtis Sisk

A nice place where you can eat well dress nice and plenty of room to eat spacious really looking forward to going back pricey but that's okay for food

Mijo Martinez

Best buffet I've been to. Best grilled cheese I've had and I've eaten a lot of grilled cheese. Friendly staff and unique scenery. This is a place to bring out of town guests.

Juliann Aldrich

Amazing beet salad, fast friendly service.

Abbey Djuric

The buffet is worth the unlimited drinks... not everything on the buffet is beyond wonderful but there is definitely a variety and lots of things are good. Better the more I drink... have been several times and will continue to

Delfr

Great little spot downtown with great food that's still open in the evening for people staying at one of the nearby hotel.

Richard Crane

Great atmosphere and really friendly service! The Gnocchi was amazing, must try.

Timothy Vaughan

Service was great! The bacon & cheese burger was flavorful, but a little ordinary. Ordered the cheesecake and was completely underwhelmed.

Jess Dahlgren

Great brunch & atmosphere.

Athena Delgado

Great food! Great service! My husband & I have gone there often for our date nights.

Sarah Hupp

Tim aka Jake is a friendly and knowledgeable employee who served us prompt well and kindly

Logan Allen

Service was amazing food however has definitely gone down hill.

Emily Lo

Brunch is my favorite at Americana! $35 for bottomless drinks and the buffet. $20 or $25 for just the buffet. Food is great and servers are awesome! Gets busy on the weekends so I would recommend reserving a table.

Edo Masic

Best brunch ive ever had

Hasan Riaz

This place is just ridiculous! There's a grilled cheese station, a taco station, a loaded potato bar, a Mac and Cheese station, and several other breakfast buffet bars all under one roof. Add to that a bottomless Bloody Mary / Mimosa station and that equates to 2 hours of drinking and eating for just $32+tax. When you're full, walk around the neighborhood to get those steps in.

Reike Plecas

Great food and atmosphere, however waitress picked up wrong appetizer so our chips didn't have chicken, forgot our cheese curds but the rest was good. Waters always full and the company we had was great.

Jennifer Johnson-Kernes

Wonderful food! Stop here for their buffet, its loaded.

Ray Strekal

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner was good and a great deal

John Botts

I had the center cut filet, it was exceptionally tender, the asparagus was cooked fairly well, and the garlic whipped potatoes were very good.

b merical

Great place for food & ambiance, great service too!

Bianca Patel

Best brunch place in the metro, in my opinion. Great mimosa and bloody Mary bar with tons of options. Good food. Good at keeping buffet stocked. Grilled cheese station is good, lots of unique options there too. Reservations are never a bad idea for this place as they are pretty busy most of the time.

Julie Roberg

Bombshell brunch is amazing. The staff always does an excellent job as well!

Tammy Treichel

Great atmosphere. Great food!

Adam Hale

Go in with lower expectations than what most people will tell you about the place and you'll be fine. Yes it's good, but it's not a "can't miss" place. The brunch is good in that it has an excellent food and drink selection, but the quality of the food does not match the quantity. As someone who can't fit a lot in my belly, that makes this brunch not worth the price.

Steven Lawyer

A wonderful brunch buffet, but a bit overpriced. $20 without beverages. It would be okay if one could order from a menu à la cart, but for the light eater like me, you have no choice but to lay down the two Hamiltons.

Casey Burt

Good brunch. We went there and it was so good. Had so many options. Service was great.

Marsha Grandstaff

Classy and sassy. Fun times and great food.

Jester Mynah

Nice place with a great steak. Everyone in our party was happy with the food and the service.

T P

When calling in to make reservations to this restaurant, be prepared to repeat yourself several times because it seems that they can't hire anyone who can understand how to take a reservation over the phone. Horrible customer service when making a reservation.

Jeff Collins

Good food, great atmosphere

Michael Pitman

I would recommend either showing up as soon as they open or making a reservation. But the food is fantastic, the service is better. The atmosphere is one of the best I have experienced. The first time I went I took my gf there fore breakfast, having no idea that it was a buffet that offers alcohol. I personally suggest the Bottomless Buffet that gives you Bottomless Mimosas or Bloody Marys as well as all you can eat. The selection of food is so massive and diverse I was incredibly surprised. And all of that fore 60$ fore 2 people.

Mark Richards

Great place and great food

Alex Lysdahl

This place has the best all you can eat breakfast deal I’ve ever seen. They never let me see the bottom of the bottomless bloodies and mimosas. I have no idea how they can stay in business with incredible deals like this. I’d go there every weekend but I’d have to double my workout routine to physically manage that.

Randy Ervin

amazing food and outstanding service. Worth every penny.

Skye Bolgren

Love the bombshell brunch! I have a hard time making myself leave every time I visit!

Courtney Young

My family and I have been out to Americana for multiple occasions and every time the food is delicious. The brunch buffet is one of the best around with a massive selection of fresh breakfast and lunch options. The $6 burger night (Sunday) is also a really good deal. Would highly recommend the nachos!

Terri Pollard

Wonderful atmosphere and great food.

Christine R

Rib eye was perfectly cooked to a medium rare plus. I was able to sub lemon parmesan asparagus for the potatoes and also kept the broccolini and the veggies were great. Bartender was my server she was friendly, attentive and provided for a quick service which is what I wanted. Great place!

Andrew Fisher

Been going there for years. Had exceptionally mediocre service on a $65 tab for lunch. My favorite part of my meal was watching 4-5 service people standing by the bar laughing while my cup was empty. Don’t take my word for it, give Americana a try for yourself!

megan woody

Went here for brunch for a friend's birthday. The food was amazing from the buffet and there were so many things to chose from. They have the option for you to make your own bloody mary and mimosa. They give some suggestions on what to mix together. I had never made a mimosa before so I found it a bit confusing. The waitress was very attentive and friendly. I will definitely be back.

Dylan Masterson

I give it 5 stars for both the service and the food and also the environment. I had a great time!

Emily Wallace

My husband and I have been coming here on date nights for years. The food is delicious, and you can’t beat the location and atmosphere. We always get the Americana nachos and it’s more than enough for two people - and very tasty! You really can’t go wrong. Also, great for groups/parties!

Diana Smith

Great decor, food and service

Laura Love

Best brunch! Been over 10 times and still love it. Great delicious selections.

Maggie Gorham

2nd trip was just as great as the first, this was my first time back in over 2 years and everything was still great. This time, I tried the crab rangoon dip and was heavenly.

Grant Uhe

Great food even better service. Vivette was our waitress and she is the best!!!

Benjamin Deonovic

Best burger I have ever eaten. Perfectly cooked (juicy and pink).

Duane Johnson

Had dinner there twice. Menu is pretty limited. Fairly pricey also.

Taylor b

Best Sunday brunch.

Jimmy Lela

Brunch was good but not great. Drunk guys yelling next to us made conversation difficult.

Soraya Miller

Food was really good. Not many options on their menu but really good food and atmosphere.

Jessica Echterling

Such a great place for lunch! Good service. Great food. And excellent fries!! Go for the fries!! Americana is a DSM staple. It's right next to the sculpture park and I usually am able to nab a close parking spot.

Melody Lauer

Amazing food and great atmosphere. Some of the best cocktails in the area as well.

Stephanie Nauman

Great place for a date night. Great service and amazing food. My fiance ordered the cherry glazed pork medallions and I ordered the salmon on a cedar plank. Both were super unique, and very flavorful. Both meals were about 26 dollars each, about right for the quality. Cant wait to go back again!

Susan Phillips

Yum! Had the filet medallions and they were amazing. The mashed potatoes were delicious and the asparagus was just right. Try the wedge salad! The atmosphere was charming, just the right mix of nice and casual. Service was spot on.

Delaney S

Great specials on Fridays!

Donovan Bradley

Great food. Unique selections, and the staff is very helpful. Drinks are made well, and the restaurant itself is nice.

Ben Dover

Great food and even better brunch buffet

Alison Gamm

Great food and great atmosphere! The Thai Tacos are my favorite. They also have a great Happy Hour!

CJ McDonald

Great food and great, great drinks. Love the Templeton Lux the most.

gary clague

Had small plates and a happy hour beer. Good food, fast friendly service at the bar. No prob getting full on two small plates. Portion size of my two taco's was surprisingly large. They were great too. Thai Shrimp were good too. Due to happy hour I left a great restaurant fully sated for under $20 w tip!

Sally Dulinsky

Wonderful, Wonderful food, attentive service, and peppy, fun atmosphere.

William Olsen

Had the Sweet Potato Lasagna. Unexpectedly great.

Arijit Ghosh

Great service and great food. Personally I find the portions just right

Pansy T.

The service was great. The BlackBerry mule was really good as were the cheese curds. The filet medallions were ok but were lukewarm. The vegies was cold. They brought me hot vegies to replace the cold ones and took the cheese curds off the ticket, which was very nice.

Lynette Haddock

Cute restaurant with great vibes. Good beer. Food was not so great. My husband ordered the Lobster Mac($23 no side) and they forgot to put the lobster in. I had the burger ( ordered med) and it was dry. The waitress offered to replace but by the time I would have waited - hunger no more. This might be a great app and beer place. Not for dinner!

AmazinBran

Poor quality food for a high price. Would recommend staying away from here if you enjoy good food.

Rosi Steele

Great burgers on Sunday!

Kimberly Iverson

Fast and friendly staff. Unique twists on traditional cuisine. Great drink selection.

Keenan Jackson

The salmon was good. The brocolini was different but tasty. The biscuits were delicious!!! I would go back

Chris Gossard

Had the truffle mac & cheese and a side wedge salad. The salad was very good, the mac & cheese, not so good and if there were truffles in it (or even truffle salt), I couldn't taste it at all.

Icey_Kicks

Always amazing food I live in Des Moines and have went here 1,000 times it is always good it’s way better than granite city prarie medeows and fletchers full service kitchen best place and bang for your buck

Nicole Petualang

Best brunch in town. Quality lemon are. Great atmosphere.

Liesel Klopp

Americana has a wonderful selection of breakfast and brunch foods, ranging from American breakfast delicacies to Hispanic derived items. Their all you can eat breakfast and bottomless mimosas or bloodies are totally worth the money. I would plan on spending a couple hours here and eating slow so you can taste all that they have to offer. Wear stretchy pants because you will get full!!

Dylan Holloway

First visit my table was brought undercooked pork and still-frozen sweet potato lasagna. Waitress apologized profusely and went above and beyond to take care of the issue. Visited again and the food was really good. Only big complaint I have is how loud it gets with the open-air two story layout. Just a personal preference.

Colleen Posey

Very good. Had the salmon. It was fabulous!!

Jim Julius

Great food and good service

M B

Best brunch I've ever had! They have a wide variety of options, and all the food tasted great! The bottomless mimosas were definitely a plus! Our server was very attentive & gracious. We were very impressed & had a great time!

M Nemmers

Good experience. Food was good, portions were plentiful. The place was getting busy as we left. Our server was very professional.

Teacher Sarah

Go for the Bombshell Brunch. You don't have to worry about a thing except for eating until you pass out. The food is GREAT! I had to drop 2 stars because when I go on any other day (like last night for the Winner Winner Chicken Dinner) I get awful service. Last night we went for the all you can eat chicken they have on Monday nights. This chicken is GOLD. It is so good. The mashed potatoes too. The FOOD is fantastic. Our server was distracted similar to the last few times I've gone and ordered off the menu. Our drink orders were taken weird. He did get my child his drink quickly which was appreciated. For some reason, our chicken didn't come out quickly. You'd think with a popular special, they'd be cranking out chicken and sides as expected but that wasn't the case. We waited a while for our plates. We weren't offered any bread or anything. We got our food. Yummy as always. I ordered a second plate with just a leg and some potatoes and waited and waited.... luckily he let me box it up to go. I leave this review because I know that Americana can improve. I know they have what it takes. I'll update this the next time I stop in and let you all know how much they've improved since my last visit.

Matthew Nafziger

Amazing all you can eat fried chicken on Monday nights and a local beer on tap! What more could you want?

Joe Sciorrotta

Great food and service.

D Fitz

Brunch is excellent. Service to match. I would recommended it any time.

Joann Tucker

Went for a lunch meeting, we made reservations just in case and were seated right away. The food came quickly, and the server was very attentive. We would definitely return!

Eric Marin

Caleigh at the bar is amazing!!! Love the place and the service!!!

Mary Elliott

Great atmosphere. Great servers. Wasn't impressed with the female host. She seemed to be bothered at having to find a table for our group. I addition we had our infant (whose baptism we were celebrating) in his car seat by our table. The host needed more room for another group. She grabbed our son in his seat and move him into another corner by our table. We would have liked her to ask us to move him ourselves. As she was not as gentle as we would have liked and we wanted him close to us. I agree with others the brunch is good but not worth the price $20-36 per person. Lots of food and variety but not great quality. As a group that doesn't eat much we would have been better off finding a location that offered better quality food.

Alexis Archambeau

Went to the Brunch Buffet and was so impressed! The food was absolutely amazing. Best quality buffet I've ever been to and the stuff was super pleasant and helpful.

Lynn Allen

I had the sweet potato lasagna. It was good. We had reservations so there wasn't a wait. I would go there again.

Kollan Kolthoff

Americana brunch is a brunch above it all. Providing a huge amount of food, an amazing grilled cheese bar, and all the mimosas and Bloody Mary drinks you could want. I love to come here for the atmosphere and the service. Not a brunch person? Their food on a regular night is spectacular and is always made to perfection. My favorite part is the second floor dining balcony which provides privacy for you and your significant other. 100% recommend any day or night of the week.

Cahlen Brancheau

I went for their brunch and it was mediocre at best. For $20 I was expecting better food that frozen french toast sticks and syrup in McDonald's style To-Go cups.

Gregory Quan-Dang

Amazing brunch bar! Lots of variety and good way to kick off your weekend!

Kelsey Lenti

Half-price champagne for a Sunday brunch? Why not! I loved the classic American atmosphere, and the professionalism of our server. Of course the food was perfect. I recommend this place for a date, or even a slightly upscale casual meal with friends.

Shane Cox

They truly honored Veterans this Veterans Day. I appreciate their service and respect for those who served. Good job out of the staff and management. Thank you.

Katherine Thornton

Amazing Sunday brunch! All you can eat and drink. Great deal!!!

Heather Mattas

Brunch was fantastic but they are rude. There is no law about bringing children to brunch. My kid is very well behaved and we take her out all the time. She's also a human. So I don't appreciate the ignorance being told we weren't told you'd be bringing a stroller. So would you be that ignorant about a wheel chair? Find new employees since yours are not friendly.

Brandon B

The grilled cheese is out of this world. The salads are huge. The bathroom is the most organized and clean out of all of Iowa eateries I kid you not.

Thom Kraak

Nice wait staff soups were good and thick hard to get parking

Jessica Young

My husband and I went for a work Christmas party and everything was awesome! We tried a couple cocktails each that were very good. I had the sweet potato lasagna and would highly recommend it. My husband was in love with the New York Strip. The waitess was very nice too! Probably wouldn't be a place we'd go regularly because it's pricey but it's great for special occasions!

Dan Christiansen

The atmosphere in the restaurant was nice, the food on the other hand was not good. Three of four orders were undercooked hamburgers. The hamburgers had no flavor and at $14 a pop you would be better off going to Burger King.

Leon Le

The steak is awesome and the waitress is so nice :)

Gail Olson

Plan to spend about an hour here. Food is average; had decent waitress for the first time. Table of 3 with tip was over $100.

Chuck Mash

Went to the brunch on Saturday. Food was great, so much to choose from. $20 each for the brunch though. A bit steep since I didn't eat $20 worth. Definitely recommend though.

Jane Hoerner

Expensive, mimosas and bloody marys should be included at this price! I was looking forward to mashed potato bar but no potatoes were ever out, though there were toppings. Donut holes with carmel sauce are yummy. Too many salads for brunch, need some pastries. There are some good dishes

L Bradley

Menu is excellent with a wide variety for everyone in your group to find something. The lettuce wraps are bomb. We tried the gnocchi and the meatloaf, along with several cocktails. Everything tasted wonderful and was well balanced. The portion size is hearty as well, so no one left hungry. This place is a must if you are in Des Moines.

Gregory Ramsay

Great steak, good service. Definitely worth a visit.

Sharon Bakley

Had a blast.. food was great

John Corder

If you're new to Des Moines or have never been, put this one on your bucket list! There's literally something for everyone (vegans/vegetarians I'm talking to you!). Bombshell is the way to go imho. For an extra $12 u get unlimited bloodies & mimosas with all the fixins and there's many juices/toppings to choose from. I always like a place that lets a person back in the kitchen where the food is prepped. All those eyes means everything is tip top shape! Grilled cheese station is a nice bonus too. Definitely make a reservation because it's always busy here. So good!

Christopher Clement

Can't go wrong with their brunch

Dexter Farm

Great mimosa and the breakfast buffet was crazy!!! It was a good idea to have items throughout the restaurant to cut down on congestion. Loved the look the place too!!

Josh Doering

Their brunch buffet is simply amazing. Definitely worth it to set a reservation and make a special morning out of this delicious spread!

Nick Souza

The brunch is awesome, but dinner is really gone downhill since they got rid of the scallops!

Josh Hoffman

Brunch was only ok.

Steve McCulley

The wife and I went with a free meal certificate, and showed the server before we ordered. He treated us with a great deal of respect, gave excellent suggestions on the menu, and answered all of our questions. Great staff, excellent food, and a good mix of patrons. Definitely will visit again.

Travis Allen

Food it top notch. Staff was great and service was on point.

Randy Kuklinski

Brunch not very GF friendly - OK for others

Kuann K. Fox

Nice, but packed. Not a place to go if you are looking forward to an intimate family brunch. Very busy.

Joy Rhoads

It wasn't what I was expecting. I couldn't believe how many people were there. To get your moneys worth you need to get there when they open and leave when they stop at 3.

RollinHeavy

So I'm stuck in des Moines Iowa... I googled breakfast diners... it brought this place up. Thank you Google, thank you Google. Quite literally the best breakfast brunch buffet anywhere. If you say you didnt like something. Consider this, you are not human. The quality and selection is amazing. Tip, hit the grilled cheese bar first. Incredible. Des Moines Iowa is the luckiest city around.

Kristine Brammer

Was not very good at all for how much it was..... I would recommend not going if you are wanting to try something new.

Patrick Keifert

Great food, good service, wonderful drinks and fun atmosphere! Perfect place for a fun Sunday.brunch, if you don't mind Abit of noise.

Amanda Hupton

Great buffet and service. No reservations on mother's day and still got a table fast! Love their bloody Mary and mimosa bar

Logan Schneider

Great brunch. There were many different options from eggs to biscuits and gravy to pancakes to tacos. Something for everyone. They also have great endless mimosa or Bloody Mary bar. Definitely worth a try on the weekend brunch

Craig Kress

What a Weekend Brunch!!! Well worth the $$$. Great atmosphere and staff.

Brandie Webb

my husband and i enjoyed our meal. server was good and the atmosphere was great.
