My wife and I were in town for a wedding, and after a great night with friends and family, we decided to give Homegrown a go for breakfast. 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! read more

We've gone to HomeGrown a few times and enjoy our experience every-time. I highly recommend keeping an eye on their waitlist and joining when you plan to arrive/dine. 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! read more

This was a disappointing visit because I loved the HomeGrown location in Omaha. The restaurant itself is very nice and cute, perfect sunny brunch decor and a patio out front with bags to play while you wait! The waitlist option worked well and once we checked in upfront we didn't have to wait any more. The bummer was the food itself. Our eggs were all rubbery, the pancakes were not sweet or flavorful and the syrup also had no flavor. My father in law enjoyed the biscuits and gravy though, and it had a lot of visitors so it is clearly popular! read more

Food was all delicious. Would highly recommend the coffee cake as an appetizer. Sapphire was an amazing waitress. Bubbly personality and she made brunch all the more an enjoyable experience. read more

I enjoy the food at Homegrown, and now visited four of them, three in Northwest Arkansas and one in Des Moines, Iowa. Depending on the building the atmosphere can be quite loud which I do not like. Yet the booths are spacious and comfortable. The cinnamon cake is a not to miss option. Omelettes are delicious, and coffee very good. read more

While the food was delicious, the wait was disappointing. I understand that long wait times are typical for Saturday brunch, but we used the restaurant's "join the waitlist" feature on their website and ended up waiting nearly three hours. Since our place in line continued to move up online, we assumed everything was fine and that it was just especially busy but when we checked with the hostess, she said that you still need to check in upon arrival to officially be added to the list which we hadn't experienced during previous visits. Just a heads-up if you plan to use that feature. Overall, the food was great, but not necessarily worth the wait. read more

Homegrown is always local using farm table practices so I look for it when I travel This particular restaurant is firing and all cylinders super clean very efficient Ask for Shelby she is awesome great attitude great service and she's trying to buy a car for her father so please tip her generously My meal was so perfectly done. I had to speak to the area manager who happen to be in the building. A side of veggies substituted for my potato and chef nailed it The bacon cooked to perfection I asked be crispy... Nail nailed it English muffin cooked on the hot griddle as it should be toasted the perfection and of course the omelette was delicious This is a five star experience. It doesn't have all the foo foo, but what it has it does to perfection. read more

There truly are some real options for early breakfast and brunch in West Des Moines --- Home Grown offers up creative entrees. As you have your early social gatherings in the large people friendly atmosphere with well spaced comfortable seating a friendly wait staffer will appear to take your drinks then your order. Kelly was my wait staffer who was highly energetic and happy to put in my order of " Eggs Benedict and Cheesy Grits." The order was ready within a reasonable time. My healthy juice of blended carrots, pineapples, spinach and ginger was delightful. My only minor criticism was that my food temperature could have been a little hotter -- it was just warm. Other than that the reasonable prices, professional staff and the upscale decor was truly relaxing as I leisurely sampled my eye pleasing dish. read more

Made from scratch kitchen and you can tell! Food is fresh and leftovers taste just as good the next day! My favorite brunch location in the Midwest. Highly recommend! read more

I started with their bee hive coffee (iced) and it was sweet but good! I ordered avocado toast and added a side of bacon which I was really glad I did! The bacon was well done which is exactly how I like it. I ordered my eggs over medium and they came out just right! The "toast" part of my avocado toast was different. I wasn't expecting the "brick" of bread. It was tasty - a little difficult to cut through with my butter knife. I did like the seasonings on my avocado. Our waitress was nice and the inside of this place is super cute. I'd love to visit again and try more items off the menu since they also had sandwiches and other things I would've wanted to try too! read more

If you're looking for fresh delicious comfort food, this is the spot! There may be a little bit of a wait because it's a popular spot for locals. The interior is open and bright with comfortable seating. The staff are attentive and friendly! We had a great server and bar support April and Corey who took great care of us. Now to the reason for the visit, the food was soooo good! One item you have to try is their fresh homemade pop tart! We had the brown sugar one and key lime. Both deliciously sweet! I'm not usually a big fan of Key Lime but this was delish! The cinnamon coffee cake was fluffy and moist and comes with a sauce on the side that made it over the top! My main was the Friends with Benedict turkey avocado with home fry potatoes. I asked for the hollandaise on the side, I don't like my benes drowned, and that was perfect! In addition to the delicious meal were the refreshing morning cocktails! All around a great place to socialize and have a good time with some great drinks and comforting and filling food. Worth the wait! read more

We had a great visit. It is a pretty popular spot so I would recommend getting on their online waitlist ahead of time. It was quite busy when we came but the service and food quality was still spectacular. The restaurant itself if well decorated, bright, and not too loud. We ordered one of the original Pop'd Heart which was 10/10; warm, buttery, and full of sweet brown sugar flavor. We split it 4 ways which was perfect due to its richness. For our mains, we ordered the seasonal Limoncello French Toast which came with a side of eggs and meat. The French toast itself was very flavorful and rich. The serving appears quite small but it's the perfect serving size. Eggs were fine and the bacon was crispy and delicious. We also ordered Chicken Salad Sammie which came with a pickle and heaping serving of chips. The sandwich was perfect with plentiful flavor. read more

Terrible service. You're asked to join a yelp waitlist for a table and then check in with the hostess when you arrive. My party of 2 was quoted a 20 minute wait time. Me were sat 95 minutes later... it's not their fault, but the restaurant is severely understaffed. We watched at one point 8 tables were not bussed and people ahead of us could be seated if they were cleaned. As far as the food is concerned, we were sat by 1:00 pm so we ordered the breakfast margarita. We really enjoyed this! I ordered the salsa verde pork & eggs. I chose poached eggs and was happy with my dish. My boyfriend ordered the "gimme the meats" omelette. If we were to go back, we'd skip the omelette. Overall, incredibly busy place and nice staff, but anticipate a long long wait time if you go there on a Sunday. Maybe even join the waitlist, check in, and go shopping nearby until your table is ready read more

Wonderful breakfast this morning. Husband ordered the ham and cheese omelette with rosemary potatoes and a side of one pancake. I ordered the BLTAE which has bacon, lettuce, tomato, and egg on it on a delicious honey grain bread. It also had an herb aïoli sauce that was really tasty. I had the tomato soup as a side. It was very creamy and flavorful. Everything was very fresh. Alexa our server was great. Will be back. read more

I had never tried croissant French toast before, but it was really good! It wasn't overly sweet, yet it also didn't need syrup since it was naturally sweeter than regular French toast. I got mine as takeout, but I can imagine it's even better when eaten fresh in the restaurant. One thing to note -- there are multiple locations, so make sure you place your order at the correct one for pickup. I accidentally ordered from the wrong spot and had to drive an extra 15 minutes, unfortunately. Still, I'd definitely go back, as a lot of other things on the menu looked really worthwhile! read more

Great food, always kind attentive servers, lively space. I have a gluten allergy and their pancakes are fantastic!!

had such a great time here! we came in around 10am which was busy. which is expected for a sunday. we were on the waitlist about 30 minutes prior and were seated within a few minutes upon arrival. the host was nice and our server was great. we ordered the homemade pop tarts, florentine and turkey avocado eggs benedict, and the ironman omelette. all were delicious! the omelette had a lot of filling and was large. all came with rosemary roasted potatoes. the english muffin was soft and fluffy and the jam it came with was perfect! the kitchen is pretty much attached to the dining area so it did get a little warm in there. super modern theme and cozy atmosphere. the restaurant is attached to an apartment complex and fire alarm did go off. the staff assured everything was okay and was professional. would definitely come again in the future to try other items on their menu! read more

Quickly on the shortlist as one of the best breakfast/brunch places in the Des Moines Metro, HomeGrown checked every box on our initial visit, a midday stop. There is abundant parking and seating inside (booths, counter, tables) and outside in warmer weather. Immaculate, great artwork, fun phrases, clean restrooms. Pepsi products. Their mantra is "Cultivate Kindness," and they consistently achieved it. You can get on their wait list thru the Yelp app. Our server (Taylor) was outstanding, kind, and knew the menu well without rushing us at any time. I thoroughly enjoyed my BLTA+E, a tasty sandwich consisting of a BLT with avocado, mayo, and a fried egg on multigrain toast. I added red potatoes as my side. My Way Better Half loved her Cinnamon Swirl French Toast. read more

Service was great. Love Homegrown and recommend to friends! The atmosphere is inviting, clean and comfortable.

I am between a 3 and 4, and I'm rounding up for great service and solid food. Food came out very quickly, and our server was fantastic! We went on a Thursday at noon, and got in pretty quickly, but they had obviously been very busy. The crowd did thin the hour and a half we were there. Menu is pretty varied, but I got an omelette, and it comes with potatoes and an English Muffin. The potatoes were OK, as was the muffin. It came with a tasty, but very watery jelly, so I pretty much just skipped the muffin. The omelette was very good--I got the Jon's Denver, but decided to forego the sour cream. One other in our group got the same thing, and our other diner got the Avocado Toast. He said it was very good, and the presentation was fun. All-in-all it was a solid breakfast, but the food didn't wow me. read more

This place was good for the price of everything. On Sundays it gets so busy and hectic so if you don't mind that, it's great. The staff is super friendly and helpful to any questions we had. The food was also good! read more
