On a whim, we stopped by Freddy's for dinner. Having only visited one of the restaurants in this…read morechain (years ago and in a different state), it was a fresh experience for us. The vibe is old-school diner, and the menu fits right in. Burgers, chicken, and (of course) frozen custard. We went with a burger and some chicken tenders to do a little sampling. Both were very good. Juicy, nice and hot, and flavorful. The tenders come a few different sauce options (we tried the honey mustard dressing and Famous Fry Sauce), and the burgers are seasoned with Freddy's Famous Steak burger & Fry Seasoning. All delicious and all a little unique. We passed on the custard since we ate our fill on their frys, but will see how well they do there next time. Things to know: * This location is just east off Highway 141 (Exit 152, E. 1st Street) * Open until 11:00pm Friday and Saturday, 10:00pm all other days * This location is in the area of various groceries and such making it a handy place to catch a good meal while running errands.

It took ten minutes to get two scoops of custard with two cars in front of me…read more The custard had clearly been dispensed when I ordered, not when I pulled to the window. No reason for the delay was provided. The Culver's on the other side of 141 will be my option next time.

We stopped by B-Bop's after a long day at the ball fields and it totally hit the spot. The location…read morewas perfect--super easy to get to and just a few minutes from where we were playing. I went with the chicken sandwich, which was crispy, and fresh. My wife and kids tried the chicken tenders and burgers, and everyone walked away happy (and full). The burgers especially got a thumbs-up from the boys. The place was clean inside, and the staff was friendly and quick with the order. You can tell they keep things running smoothly even when it's busy. Perfect spot for a casual, no-fuss meal with the family--especially when you're in town for baseball or softball. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Des Moines!

I have eaten a lot of chicken sandwiches over the years, but this just is different. Better. So many places serve chicken sandwiches, but this wasn't just a quick bit. It was uniquely flavorful in a category that can be really blah. I looked at the options and decided to do something I hadn't even thought about before -- a chicken sandwich named the Crab Rangoon? Uh, what? It was a great chicken breast hot, juicy, etc BUT something about sweet chili sauce and crisply won tons just makes it a different experience. So yummy! And everything about it screamed FRESHNESS!!! I thought I'd try the mac and cheese and it's good. Really good for a drive through (I was headed an hour or so north so I ate a bit and kept running). The patio looked nice. The service was pretty fast and they were nice. The sign in the window of the drive through made me chuckle cause it was the week of the intrastate rivalry football game. Stumbled on it while traveling but this is a place I would 100 percent seek out if I wanted a quick bite in the area.

Definitely a no-frills type of meal. I ordered the pork Luau "dish" and Mr W ordered the Huli Huli chicken. The Luau is very mushy as if it was sitting in juices for a long time. The Huli Huli was ok. Tasted like teriyaki chicken. Everything came out within 5 minutes. I guess it was already prepared and not cooked to order. I wasn't impressed. Presentation was lacking. Food tasted fine. It wasn't anything extraordinary or different. It's not the type of flavors I was expecting or really craving like when I was in Hawaii. The restaurant was clean. Service was nice. Quick. It would be an inviting place in the summer with all the Hawaiian decor. Coming out on a winter day, it didn't feel Hawaiian-like.

As the receipt shows, I ordered tacos without lettuce. Quite clearly, I got tacos with lettuce. They remade these. As the receipt also shows, I already was using a coupon for the last time this location screwed up. The kid at the register (receipt says Trung) was rude and copped an attitude in both my interactions with him. The second time was when I went to get my food--he pretty much slammed my tray down on the counter. Sorry that I bothered you, Mr. Crabass. Perhaps a job sweeping the parking lot would be better suited for you. All in all, this location is a disaster. As I was leaving, a man came in looking harried--it appeared they screwed up his order. Do not stop in--you'll likely only get heartache vs heartburn.
