Best WLM Reviews
An excellent choice for gluten free and dairy free options! I love their unique twists on American classics/comfort food! Waitstaff has all been very knowledgeable and accommodating of my multiple food sensitivities, I have celiac and a dairy allergy and I have never gotten sick here. Brunch also has lots of clearly labeled items which are gluten and dairy free. One of our favorite places to eat in Des Moines!
We arrived during the shift between the brunch services and dinner. We decided to wait 30 mins until we could order appetizers and additional 30 mins when we could then order from the dinner menu. It wasn't a busy Sunday afternoon. (Less than 10 customers) We requested to sit upstairs for some privacy. Our server Kayla said she had to watch the bar in addition to serving and didn't feel like walking up and down the stairs. So we opted for a corner booth. As we're sitting in our booth, a job interview to work for the restaurant was being conducted in the next booth. That was strange. We received our appetizers, no napkins or silverware. We ordered two steaks and only received one plate. I had to sit and watch my husband eating. Then he had to sit and watch me. Needless to say, we were there an extensive amount of time. There must've been a miscommunication that we both wanted the same food item, but each having our own.
The food, drinks, appetizers were a 10 if I could give that. The manager came over and apologized for all the confusion and gave us 1/2 off one of the dinner plates. Also, Kayla, the server, was super apologetic about each incident. Kayla paid for our dessert.
Kayla was a very sweet gal, it was not a good experience with the seating, as a more appropriate answer could be the upstairs is closed for dinning right now, verses I don't feel like...walking multiple times up 14 stairs (I counted)
Menu had the smallest words and a challenge to read. The appetizers are listed as shared plates. That was confusing.
Their drink menu is in a beautiful binder, large words very classy and nice variety.
A little overpriced, but nice size food portions and great taste.
First timer. Was on a date and was sat by an open exit door. Why is there a table there? Chose Bottomless Food + Mimosas for her, Bottomless Food and an OJ for me. OJ is still bottomless. Breakfast selections were great. Broccoli Quiche was amazing. There's a lack of meat selections that aren't pork, but there was turkey breakfast links that weren't terrible. Lunch options were centered on tacos and pulled meats, Mac and cheese, and others. She did not like the enchiladas. Overall, the food is good, the service was good, and the set up was good. All in, including tip, was a little over $90 for the two of us. You should come, but visit the food bars more than once and don't fill up on liquids.
Americana offers an impressive all-you-can-eat brunch with a variety of options including a taco bar, grilled cheese, and more. Their bottomless Bloody Marys and mimosas are a delightful addition. Great value and friendly atmosphere!
We recently celebrated our anniversary dinner at Americana Restaurant in Des Moines with our adult children, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional.
We started with appetizers: the American Nachos and the Caprese Board. Both were very good, but the standout was the pulled pork on the nachos. It was so flavorful that I wished they offered a sandwich with it alone.
For the main course, my wife and I had the Petite Medallion. The flavor was outstanding, and the meat was so tender that a knife was almost unnecessary. The rest of our party enjoyed the Grilled Ribeye, Bacon-Wrapped Meatloaf, and Herb-Encrusted Salmon. Each dish was prepared perfectly, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals.
Americana Restaurant is definitely a must-visit whenever we're in Des Moines. It did not disappoint and made our anniversary dinner memorable. Highly recommended!
This is a fun place with awesome food and drinks! We had a large group, but they took good care of us.
Kori was our server and she gave us great service and made our night enjoyable, not to mention she made great recommendations. Overall, we enjoyed the nachos, burger, salmon, and key lime pie. I wouldn’t recommend the truffle fries or the jalapeño corn chowder. The service and ambiance were nice, but we won’t be rushing back.
Beautiful dining area, great location. Friendly staff. Delicious food. I rated it low because The first time I got sick, and I thought it was just me. I tried it again and my boyfriend and I both got sick. I was miserable throwing up. I have called and mentioned on 2 occasions and never heard back. I would love to be able to eat here again, but I haven’t heard of any changes since this issue. And of course they have gluten free options.
