A very country styled restaurant. Unfortunately my food was so so, their beef liver was overcooked…read moreso it was drier and chewier than what I had hoped. As for their onion soup, it almost redeems the entree, perfect for the single digit weather. It should also be noted that the portions here are huge so be prepared to get take away boxes. Both our host and waitress were very polite and gave our table good service. Like mentioned above, the portions stuff you up so I suggest you save room for dessert as their sweet treats are pretty decent. Lastly, this restaurant also offers an area in the front to purchase souvenirs and other goodies which is a nice touch to the place so definitely purchase the gigantic cookies they have available!

This was one of the best places I have been to in a while. Des Moines HomeGrown did it right…read more We debated on going because we were arriving 30 mins before close, which I hate doing because that's when everyone is trying to clean up and get their side work done. We saw there were a few table so we decided to try it with the intention to be quick. Boy am I glad we did! Started with the sunrise juice, a carrot juice blend and the homemade strawberry lemonade both were so fresh and delicious. We tried the brown sugar and cinnamon pop tart and that was heaven in my mouth. So much flavor and goodness. I ordered the limoncello French toast and it is a slice of fresh baked lemon bread made into French toast. The flavors were rich and the texture was fluffy. A must try while it's in season. Others got the turkey and avocado Benedict and the pancakes with eggs and bacon. All cooked to perfection. Our server Jess was so nice and we did tip her well for being so last minute, but to our credit we were out of there at 6 mins after closing while everyone was still working to close up. I try to not show up late but this one was so worth it!!

Service is usually stellar and the location is fairly convenient with lots of parking (in the back too!) My only complaint is that my friend I go to the restaurant with who is in a wheelchair due to mobility issues has to park in back and roll all the way around the building. Its fine on a nice day, but sucks if its extra warm or super cold. I know this isnt the fault of the restaurant, but the building owners . The ambiqnce is fine, if its busy it get a little louder than I'd like. Maybe some strategically placed sound dampening tiles? I get the industrial look, but with the concrete floors, its a bit of an echo chandler when itw busy.

As has been the case on each of our visits, the food and atmosphere were off the charts. The service wasn't quite as prompt this morning as what I've become accustomed to, but the experience was still great. Best of all...I saw that they now have a daily Happy ("Flocktail") Hour everyday before they close - and it is a 50% Off special - so now I can add them to HappyHourDesMoines.com also!! Today, my wife ordered the Chicken Fried Steak and a Bloody Mary (see pictures) - and with all of the new items on the menu, our friend ordered the Smoked Corn Beef Hash (see picture) and I went with the Healthy Hatch Tacos (see picture). I swapped one of my tacos with our friend for 1/2 of his hash, sampled my wife's Chicken Fried Steak - and can assure you that you will NOT go wrong ordering any of them, as all were absolutely delicious!

And this was after we waited in line to get on the waiting list, just to be told to scan the QR code, to put ourselves in the waiting list. What?? I finally had to ask for the tables be cleaned so our party of 10 could sit. The waitress didn't bring some drinks, food was wrong and disappointing. They kept telling us they were short staffed but that just sounds like excuses. The two waitresses outside were not busy, it was manageable just unorganized. Too bad, it looked promising but when someone has to do your job (asking to buss tables, looking high and low for silverware), that's bad business.

The host worked to get everyone seated as quickly as he could. A server was at the table almost immediately for our drink order, and they were served in no time. There is quite a selection of breakfast and lunch items to choose from, and I settled on The Classic. I really liked the option for a small cake instead of toast, and I enjoyed that tremendously! The ham steak was thick, juicy, and flavorful, and the eggs were scrambled perfectly. The hash browns were a little bland, and I would rather have had an option for breakfast potatoes instead. But the meal was good and reasonably priced for the portions. For those who like coffee, there is a wide selection of options. The place is cozy inside with warm colors and all of the workers were extremely friendly in their interactions with customer. I felt very welcome and the table was well taken care of throughout the meal. The restaurant itself is nestled in a strip mall off the main street, so it isn't something I would know was there if I were just driving by. But now that I know it is here, I will definitely make a return trip to try additional items on the menu that caught my attention (I'm looking at you apple and blueberry bread, cinnamon rolls, and crake!)

The concept is creative and makes it a nice place to meet up with friends or family. The service was phenomenal. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything we needed was taken care of throughout the meal. As for the food, it was good but nothing that really stood out. Everything was prepared well, but the flavors didn't leave a lasting impression or make me eager to order the same dishes again. It's a solid brunch spot if you're in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way just for the food. Overall: Great atmosphere, outstanding service, and decent food. Worth trying at least once for the experience.

It was getting to be dinner time, so asked my wife to meet me here for my last stop. Every time we've stopped here, we have been impressed with the quality of the food and tonight was no different. I had already enjoyed some Happy Hour specials at another venue, but my wife hadn't yet eaten dinner. She ordered the Gyro & Fries (see picture) and as you might guess, I did try a couple of bites. We both thought it was a very good gyro and were delighted to see that it is the daily special each day from 11-2, so we will definitely be coming back for lunch some day.

This is the first time that my eggs Benedict was over cooked. The eggs were hard which was a little of a bummer. I will communicate a little better next time to make sure that doesn't happen in the future. Not much to change on my previous reviews. I do miss the flavored coffee they used to have.

It's a nice, clean, country-esque little space on Jordan Creek Parkway. They have an attractive menu featuring locally sourced meats and other products. I had the salsa Verde pork with eggs, and my wife had the biscuits and gravy. The salsa verde pork and eggs was delicious. The pork was tender, had a wonderful flavor with hints of tomatillo and lime with a lot of green chili and tomatillo salsa over the top of nicely cooked homemade fried potatoes. My two eggs over medium were on top with pico de gallo. My only knock would've been my eggs were more over done than over medium, but we're splitting hairs at that point. My wife's biscuit and gravy featured a lovely fluffy biscuit with an ample helping of sausage gravy with eggs and some of the same nice fried potatoes. I had a coffee which was fine. My wife had a specialty coffee called the Honeybee which she said was delicious. The servers were polite and attentive, and everything came out in a very reasonable timeframe. I would definitely recommend anyone in the Jordan Creek area. Who's looking for a breakfast spot to give Homegrown a go!

Our most recent waiter was Holly and she was great! She checked in the perfect amount of times, we always hate being checked on so much we can't enjoy our meal. I highly recommend their honey bee latte, I get it every time and almost always want one to go. I'm also currently Gluten Free so when I see pancakes as an option it's a must! Only downside is I wish their waiting area was larger. When it's cold or windy it gets over crowded. In a leased building that can be tough but maybe putting up a waiting area outside would be smart in all weather scenarios!
