We came here at the end of the day/afternoon of sightseeing 2 museums. We were originally supposed to order food to go. We ordered a pizza with chicken, beef and red peppers. I ordered a beer while we waited for our pizza. When the pizza came, my friend must have been hungry because we ended up eating the pizza there. The pizza crust was not too thick or thin. The pizza was pretty tasty. The service was professional. read more

I stopped by for a quick carry out order of potato skins. Color me unimpressed. The bartender was very dismissive and acted bothered that I was taking up his time to order. The place smelled like stale beer and was a depressive atmosphere. To top it off, when I went to eat my potato skins there was no cutlery or napkin, I will not return. read more

Wings were excellent highly recommend trying them. Atmosphere is like a sports bar so can get loud. You should try you won't be disappointed. read more

Love the Iowa Hot Chicken strips. It would be nice if they had real local honey instead of those packets of "honey" with corn syrup. read more

This was my first time to the new location. I liked the coziness of the old location but this one still has the good vibe. Football on all TVs. Bartender was great. Prices decent and the portions huge. Overall you still get the football crowd and the energy that comes with the games. I had the pickle fries and the fried cauliflower. Both delicious but again HUGE portion. Share for sure. read more

A little over three years ago now I received a message from David Anders inviting me to check out a new location they were opening up originally branded 3 Sons Bar and Grill. David started his Chicken Coop brand over 20 years ago and this latest iteration was to be named honoring his sons. Life was happening at that time and I always regretted not getting back to him (and not getting there before now). This is the old Legends location at 60th and Ashworth. It's rare that I don't take pictures...and I really wish I had. The pictures I included were sent to me by David. We ordered an order of mozzarella sticks, the fish sandwich, 10 bone-in wings (Jamaican Jerk), a soda and a water. The total for dinner was around $50 and change. Wings have gotten harder to find in the grocery stores and the prices have gone up...if you haven't noticed. I really like how they opened up and brightened the space. I probably only visited that Legends location a couple of times, but I don't remember it like this. Service was fantastic and there was one thing that really stood out to me. Every server I saw was an adult male. No young men and no women. I don't point this out for any reason other than it's unusual to see. They may employ both and they just weren't working last night. These gentlemen did a fantastic job taking care of us and across the floor as far as I could see. It's seat yourself. We grabbed a comfortable booth along the wall. Table and chair seating is available as well as a bar. There are TVs everywhere! We were greeted right away, our drink orders taken, and given menus. Our server was quick with refills and checked on us a couple of times. The menu seemed like the pretty standard menu if you've been to a Chicken Coop location. The mozzarella sticks were excellent. A great starter. My gf's fish sandwich was massive. It came with two filets. She ate one on the sandwich and one by itself on the side. Her fries and fish were cooked perfectly, the fries were seasoned nicely, and I enjoyed a few myself. My bone-in wings were cooked just as well, to perfection, and were sauced up to just the right amount. You can probably order the wings plain and the sauce on the side if you prefer a DIY version. We did have one small bump. I'd ordered Jamaican Jerk sauce and the wings came out with honey BBQ. It's been a while since I'd been to a CC location and I wasn't sure at first. The honey BBQ sauce is excellent and is one of my top three choices there anyway. Our server agreed it looked like the incorrect sauce. Before he could offer to replace them I told him it was fine and to please not bother anyone about it. I was just curious more than anything. Other than that one minor little bump (and my gf's indecisiveness on where to go for dinner #thestruggleisreal) everything about last night's meal was perfect! I would definitely recommend Sons Chicken Coop Bar and Grill. This was our first visit, but won't be our last. https://www.facebook.com/ChickenCoopWestDesMoines read more

Wings are pricey but delicious! Go for the crispy option. The Buck Nasty and Garlic Jalapeno are our faves!

The most popular tailgating or game food are "Chicken Wings." At any of these locations you can find one of my favorite indulgences--bone-in chicken wings. The choice of bone-in or boneless dry rubbed or dipped in Garlic Jalapeño, Jack Daniels, Spicy BBQ or whatever your flavor are options. My choice is Garlic Parmesan on the side--simply delicious- So join the party of flavors where the service is quick, and the atmosphere is one that is upbeat, easy and casual-- suitable for all crowds--where there's plenty of sports screens and tables to cheer on any venue! read more

The food is subpar because there is no consistency with how it is cooked. The entire staff are not really friendly it is kinda like a clicky bar for regular patrons. I've been there several times just to make sure I wasn't in error and each time I was tolerated and then Bob and Suzy come in and they are falling all over themselves to serve them. I'm not a cheap tipper I usually do 20-30% but hey forget about it UNLESS you are Bob and Suzy. I wish I had four hands so I could give them FOUR THUMBS DOWN . Their other location is better and more cordial and friendly. Food was better too. read more

We got the wings. Large, great meat, great sauce, great ranch. Good service. Only problem we both had was they were soft with a lot of skin. They needed fried or cooked longer. read more

Service was good, the place was nice and good stuff on tv and good music. The food was okay I got the boneless wings, the spicy dry rub was VERY good but the buffalo was not, too sweet in my opinion, and really set it off for me. read more

The website says they close at 10 so I arrive a couple of minutes after nine only to be informed that the kitchen is closed. They should put on the website that the kitchen closes an hour before their posted time. read more

Great atmosphere! This sports bar has the service we have been looking for. Tanya, Sean and Felicia do an excellent job as do the rest of their staff. Wings are perfect every-time and food always comes out fresh! Lots of NFL fans here! read more

We live a short distance away, and three of us decided to stop in for dinner earlier this week.We were seated right away and got in our drink orders. They had a good list of beer, wine, and cocktails, including a martini list.I got a martini, which was excellent! My wife got a glass of wine, which was reasonably priced, and a good wine. The other person in our party got iced tea, which was constantly refilled throughout our stay. We placed our food orders and our food came out pretty quickly. I got the chicken Philly Steak. It exceeded my expectations. It was flavorful, tender, and had lots of good flavors with the veggies and cheese. My wife got a turkey burger, which was a great flavor, with a decent cole slaw side. The other diner in our party got the the grilled chicken sandwich, selecting a sauce from the wing sauces, and adding bacon. He and I both got buffalo chips for our side. They had a nice bit of kick, and we each got a good-sized portion. Our server was in training, but was very attentive and professional. The training server also checked in on us, so we really felt well-cared for! There are a lot of TVs tuned to sporting events, and there is a large patio, but it didn't have any furniture on it...not sure if they are going to be using that or not. This was the old Legends, and they have completely cleaned and rehabbed the building into a modern, fresh look. Everything on our visit was great, and we are happy to have another option in our neighborhood. read more

Ordered take out today. Wings were great. Also had the fried pickles and mushrooms. Great place to watch the games with lots of screens. I had a problem with a gift card that the manager quickly resolved. She was very accommodating and professional. Will definitely go back. read more

We stopped in for lunch on a snow day and our service was above and beyond despite probably being short staffed. We ordered hot wings and the French dip sandwich with fries. The fries were cooked to perfection. The sandwich was ok but lacked flavor besides salt. My son said wings were ok. I felt for $16 the wings should come with a side or have more in the order. read more

Fantastic experience at The Chicken Coop tonight! We had about 50 people (with a reservation) and they seated us immediately. Service was fantastic throughout the evening and all of our food and drinks were delicious. Great experience! read more

Claims to be a Husker watch bar but won't turn the sound on the tvs. Food was meh. Waitress was fantastic!

Had a tasty Lunch with some delays. I love the interior here. The staff was friendly and the restaurant is very clean. I think the menu is great. Lots of choices. I had the Phily Steak sandwich. Real steak not from a freezer bag. I would recommend this place but they need more staff serving. read more

The Chicken Coop - Very nice bar and seating area tv's all over the place. - Chicken Wings Near Me - West Des Moines, Iowa

Didn't have high expectations but was surprised when I entered. Looked to of been renovated within a few years and had a nice layout with lots of TVs. I came for the football and they did have it playing. Ordered a bacon cheeseburger with fries, which was hot and delicious. The dry rub wings (spicy rub) was good, juicy and hot. Wasn't a big fan of the garlic Parmesan but they were still well cooked. It's was a bit pricey but when the foods good I can't complain too much. Couple mules, burger and fries plus 20 wings was $54. Bartender was nice and the customers (regulars) seemed to like her very much. read more

The food was average food. I had the buffalo chicken sandwich it was good but nothing special. The ranch was very good though. Are waitress was very nice and was always checking on us. Food came out quick but it was not very busy. Just wish you got some more food for the $15 the sandwich cost. A little on the expensive side if you ask me read more

Nice looking sports bar.. food was underwhelming for sure, typical bar food fries were greasy and undercooked. Onion rings had almost no flavor except for grease. Had to be 85 degrees in there we were all sweating after our hour wait for food. Waitress could not have been less interested in us being there. Two stars is probably generous. read more

This is the original Ledgends location. We went on a Friday at 2 on a snowy day. The place was pretty empty. my friend and I are looking for the best happy hour. One with half price appetizers, well drink specials and a drink that involves something like a Mike's. hard lemonade or a cider. We ordered a couple of drinks and an appetizer sampler. I got the wrong drink, I tried to drink it, but wanted what I ordered so I sent it back. My friend ordered a vodka grapefruit. it appeared to be mostly grapefruit. The appetizer platter was very good. it had buffalo chips, onion rings, mozzarella sticks, and wings (we chose garlic jalapeno). It came with marinara and ranch or blue cheese dressing, we got both dressings. The ranch was so delicious, we wanted more stuff to dip in it. Their happy hour starts at 2. They have no food on their happy hour. No fruity drink on my category, the second vodka grapefruit was mostly grapefruit. Did my friend look like she had scurvy? So in our happy hour scale the early start of happy hour is the only points they got. The restaurant it st is very nice. it was nicely remodeled and looks lovely. Bathrooms were clean. They have paper towels, bonus points. Service was ok. we were drinking and talking and didn't command full attention. I can guarantee we won't be back for happy hour, but for some wings and ranch dressing maybe. they do have daily specials. That bartender needs to pour a little stronger drink. Middle of the road experience for us. read more

This is a great place for great food! Jeremy our waiter was on the ball with our families drinks and any other requests we had! Our mules were the best I have had! Get the watermelon mule! Don't waste your time with the others (however I'm sure they are good too!) I had a grilled chicken breast and plenty of veggies for my low carb dinner with a few cheater mules and it was awesome! My sons had burgers and the amazing boyfriend had the nachos and everyone left satisfied! Great place! Little spendy but worth it! read more

This is a fantastic place to watch a football game. Lots of televisions, great service and the food is excellent. Lots of college fans (Hawkeyes, Husker and Cyclone fans). Our service was amazing and Felicia is a fantastic server who is always smiling and on top of her game! read more

The Chicken Coop has a good menu for a bar but also for take out. We enjoyed the chicken wings and the Santa Fe chicken salad. We got a combination of the spicy dry rub and kicked bourbon on the wings. The spicy rub was hot! While dry, it did feel more moist than traditional dry rubs. But again, this flavor is packing some serious heat. The kicked bourbon was a nice balance to the heat. The Santa Fe chicken salad had a good crisp with nicely season chicken. read more

I was excited to try this place and figured I'd get some wings since it's called the chicken coop. The wings were soggy and off putting and not cheap for wings. read more

Went the other day ordered the tenderloin it was small and tasted like a fritter!! The grinder sandwich had more onions and peppers then meat. Was so excited to try but unfortunately I was very disappointed should of took my $100 elsewhere. read more

More than what you expect from the outside, as this place exists in a small strip mall. Nice sports bar with lots of TVs. I sat at the bar and the bartender was a cool guy who engaged with a number of locals. I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich. It appeared hand breaded and the buffalo sauce was a nice heat level. Fries were a great side and a nice amount. Fantastic ranch dressing on the side that was great on the sandwich and for dipping fries. Nice West DesMoines location away from busy areas. read more

Son had a taste for chicken wings and tenders.... This place didn't let us down. Great service, food came out hot and drinks never went empty. Live music was a bonus!! Will visit again when in town. read more

I will start off by saying that the service really made the experience great. The wings were very tasty and will definitely stop by again.

Service was very quick and friendly. The wings are very good and different. All of our food was great and their menu had lots of different options. Would definitely come here again! read more

Food was decent. Bit over priced for the appetizer which was my meal. Server was ok just seem they didn't want to work today. Next time om getting wings. Edit. The food was good and i been craving what I had. I'll be back in the future. read more

Food was great. Chicken in every dish we had was amazing. Our server was great too. The front desk staff was another story. Rude and aggressive with customers who came to dine there. Physically bumping customers out of the way and showing no patience. read more

With the name Chicken Coop you would hope the chicken sandwich would include a healthy piece of chicken. Instead it's pounded down to a thin wafer of not much chicken. Rather disappointing for the price. read more

In town for a weekend baseball tournament and stopped in for some wings. Server was not friendly and seemed annoyed with us the entire time. TIP: order the wings extra crispy, otherwise they come out almost raw. They were inedible when they first got brought to the table. I asked for them to be cooked more and when they came back they were delicious. read more

I had the worst experience EVER today. I came in before the games started to find a table to watch MY team, because of a handicap we cannot choose a "high" table. We watched our team for the first quarter, but a table came in late and wanted another game and our game was turned to another game - I protested to waiter that knew I have been here REPEATEDLY for the entire season, he DID NOT CARE! This restaurant will NEVER get my business nor my40% tips for letting me watch MY team...... I hope no one else will go there. read more

This place was good. The atmosphere is clean and fresh. The server was good. We had a sandwich and a salad. The salad was missing 1/2 the published toppings. I had to ask for them from the sever. He quickly brought them out. The sandwich looked amazing and my friend loved it. I had heard that the service had been slow but we had our food in less than 10 minutes... The menu was very large and should accommodate most people. read more
