Step aside all the other burger joints. If you want a hearty burger that feels like home and you're getting fast food, this is the place to go. Fries were also golden and crunchy. We went through the drive through and were quickly served. Definitely would choose this over a franchise burger place read more

Keep reading about this place as places to try in Iowa. I live in Iowa City and they don't have it here. Picking up a friend from Des Moines airport and I finally see there's one right by there. We stop -we go to the drive-through. The options are extensive and we get burgers and fries. They mess up my burger and put ketchup and pickles and all the stuff I don't like, but it was still good. And my friend burger whose order was perfect said it was amaze. 4 starts because they messed up my order. It's good. But not cheap. Culver's quality and diversity of menu makes it a yes though. read more

The newly remodeled Drive thru makes the turns and aisles easy when ordering one of my favorites Pork Tenderloin. The portions are breaded with goodness on a well sauced bun with fresh lettuce. Ordering was easy at the drive up with the newly well designed menu boards -- where a friendly voice takes your order. The total environment is well lite which makes driving safe to maneuver. The prices are still $ reasonable in comparison to other food chains. It is good to know you can get a reasonably priced burger and other options that don't loose their flavor and still taste good. read more

I love b-bops the service is always good. I often go on Friday's during my lunch and they are fast with the line while still having great results. The food is always good when I go I rarely have issues with my order being wrong and they usually have friendly service. Every once in a while you get a teen working who has an attitude. Inside has a nice environment with neon signs and music it makes the vibe good. read more

It was really busy inside and the drive through was really busy too but overall the service was good so if you are looking for fast food this place is good read more

B-Bops - Chill cheese fries - French fries with melted cheese, jalapeño slices, sour cream, and cheese sauce, served in a black container. - Burgers Near Me - Des Moines, Iowa

Always fresh burgers and fries. Even if the drive through is full, they still get you out in a hurry. Manic Mondays are a great deal in Ankeny. read more

ALWAYS the best, freshest and awesome food! Made to order, fast friendly service! It is our "go to" everytime we're near one. Best fries in the state!! read more

Food is always hot and they r generous with their sides. Tastes amazing every time. The staff is always nice.

Went to this location on 3/2/25 and got extremely severe food poisoning. Don't recommend

Me and my younger siblings came here with my grandma and me and my little sister have lots of food allergies, they were kind enough to give us a new meal on them and they were kind and patient, I will never forget the service they provided, this is one of the few places to have such caring people, it had a really good and caring atmosphere, I hope to come back soon and feel this same feeling of care and importance. read more

Heading into Des Moines and looking for a quick place to eat? It was my first time in the state and found out about this Iowa fast food joint. This location is conveniently located right down the street from the airport. The restaurant is set up like an old school diner plus a drive thru. I went inside to order at the counter since I had never been. The people working there were very nice. I went with a basic cheeseburger combo. This is one of the best fast food cheeseburgers I've had (I'd say it's a top competitor with In-N-Out). It was also very filing and came at a good price. I will say it's very messy with all the toppings and sauces! I like how it comes in a styrofoam container - this makes it easier to eat in the car. The fries were comparable to McDonald's but less greasy (which isn't a bad thing - they are addicting!) If you're in Iowa and are looking for a fast food joint, skip the other chains and check out B-Bops! read more

B-Bops - Cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - Des Moines, Iowa

Merry Christmas from the nickel and dime incompetent poorly managed restaurant I shall never visit again in my life. They have the signs up that say "try our new chili". They are obviously competing against Wendy's. But unlike Wendy's, see a receipt attached below, B-Bops employees are stupid, their management is incompetent, and they were arguing amongst them selves for several minutes about how much to charge me for some extra pickles. Please note when I went to Wendy's after leaving B bop's, they charge me nothing, and there was not even a debate or topic on it. The little counter girl who was probably barely 18, press the pickles button, and it charged a 0.00. There was no debate, I didn't have to argue with them, they put my cheese, and my pickles in a cup, and it wasn't a dinky little cup. The B-Bops morons spent more time arguing with me and each other then Wendy's did just making my order happen. We have a choice, and my choice will be to never do business with this company again. I will forbid all of my employees from turning in any receipts from this company. Customer service is the only thing that matters in the 21st century. You failed. Anyone can fry a burger. It takes very special kinds of morons to upset people on Christmas. Merry Christmas, you have lost a loyal customer and anyone else I can convince, forever. read more

One of my go to when in Des Moines ( by the airport) . Had a double cheese burger that was fresh with great flavor , Chile fries are great and the staff are very friendly . I recommend this over the other known burger places in town . read more

Did you just get off the plane? Are you hungry for the top rated fast burger in town? Yay! Yum. We stopped after picking up family at the air port. We noticed right away that this newer location has indoor seating! You can see into the brightly lit restaurant.We opted to hit the drive through like normal and ordered up a couple meals. Up at the window the young lady was very kind and everything went smoothly. The food came out hot and fresh. Everyone was happy with their choices and if you on this side of town I recommend the best fast food burgers in Des Moines. read more

My 1st here...,.it was great!!! Thumbs up !!! Love how they make the burger (juicy, big, yummy). Nice for the family. Thank you to team in this store, so friendly and very helpful! Great customer service, I really appreciate it!!!! read more

B-Bops - Need combo with twice the cheese to made it super good!! - Burgers Near Me - Des Moines, Iowa

awesome burger great fries and friendly staff. service was very fast. only bad parking lot is hard to get in and out when busy.

I was in Des Moines for America lung cancer association stairclimber, I was with my dog lady, we were driving around and seen this place with a patio, I went in and order the sloppy joe combo, it was very inexpensive combo and it was good too, I ask if I could bring the to the patio and they said yes, lady likes to walk up and down for her excise, she is 15 and she like her chix, the place was different and we don't have one in KC,it was different, whenever I'm in a new town I will not have something that we have,the service was good and it was busy which means it has to be good getting in and out was easy this location was across Starbucks if your in the area it a must read more

Went to drive thru, female there was the worst person for the job. I understand that B bops has to increase tickets but to interrupt the customer and be rude to them is not going to help the business. Didn't finish ordering, just left. read more

Bbops be comin' up! This is new location off Fleur Drive is probably the best tool in bringing in out of towners that are wondering what the heck a Bbops is as they pass by, since the restaurant is pretty large, the lights are flashy & new, and is just right down the street from the airport. I ordered via drive-thru. My order came out pretty quickly, and my fries were cooked fresh and were piping hot (gotta love fresh cooked fries!). The cashier at the window was really personable and seemed to be happy working where he does. There is lots of seating at this location, unlike the dedicated walk-up/drive-thru at the one on SE 14th. No more scarfing your burgers outdoor in the frigid snow or rain - yes! Again, my fries were cooked fresh, the veggies in my burger was crisp, cold and fresh, and I could taste the charbroiled flavor in the patty - so come here if you want fresh fast food! I might get jumped, cuz I think Bbops tastes no different from burger king and In N Out is much better than Bbops - but hey, thats my opinion. (4/100, 2016) read more

great burgers and qual service and very polite. and close to the airport. also a very cool style like the 80s

B-Bops has been around Des Moines for decades and still serves the same menu. There is nothing wrong with that. Consistency is key with this small franchise. They do a good job of serving big juicy burgers and greasy French fries. This location was clean the day I went and the staff was all smiles. I'd go back here for another burger anytime I am in town. read more

Shout out to Windsor heights bbops and mark and brandy from the urbandale location for outstanding customer service tonight. Made my experience well worth the trip the food was fresh and delicious and I will be returning. Thanks again for your great customer service guys really needed to acknowledge this. read more

I think the B in B-Bops stands for Burger King because that's exactly what B-Bops tastes like. The burgers and fries smelled and tasted just like BK. It was crazy. I also didn't think that the workers were very friendly. I felt like they kept rushing you. I was pretty disappointed in my visit. My visit was OK, but it wasn't a place that I would hurry to go back to. On the plus side, they do have nutritional information on the website. read more

Catching a flight out at DSM! Decided to grab a burger and Chile cheese fries st B Bop. Also grab a shake. The burger was pretty tasty and the chocolate shake was heavenly. Wish I could say more about Chile cheese fries. The Chile tasted to be out of a can. Not to my liking. The burger was delicious though The staff is very helpful and the place is very clean Beats McDonald's and Burger King. read more

I can't do fast food anymore. Maybe I hit a certain age, or maybe I've been spoiled by too many great local restaurants serving inexpensive, delightful meals. That said, B-Bops is not "fast food" like you would think of McDonald's or Burger King. B-Bops is REAL food, that tastes fantastic, fills you up and makes you crave it. I've been to many of the B-Bops locations countless times, and I typically get their double cheeseburger with a chocolate shake because, in fact, they make a fantastic shake. And the french fries?! This place knows exactly how to do hamburgers and fries. I mean EXACTLY. So to add a twist to this, let me compare it to a place like Five Guys, where I had friends and coworkers just going on and on about those burgers and fries. Five Guys - what a mess. I might as well have made my own burger and fries, it would have been faster and WAY cheaper. Not at all impressed (think I'll do a review of them, too). B-Bops blows Five Guys out of the water, as far as I'm concerned. You pay something like $8 for fries, a drink and a double cheeseburger and you'll not only be full, but it will taste great! I mean yeah, I get it - how much more can I really say about this place? Well let me put it this way: I challenge you to find a better hamburger, fries and shake for this price. And I've been to all the fancy Smashburgers, Fudruckers, and Five Guys, etc. B-Bops does the job in an unassuming, high quality, unbelievably awesome way every time. So get rid of those bogus fancy burger joints and adopt the best burgers in town. read more

Craving B-Bops in the winter, but don't want to eat in the car?? This location is your answer!! B-Bops with plenty of indoor booths! They also have the typical outdoor table for when the weather is nice. I will admit, it was a little weird not to have a walk-up window. Delicious burger and fries. This place remains my favorite fast-food burger! I also love their ranch for fries ($0.54). Pretty simple menu. Burgers, chicken sandwiches or nuggets, fish sandwich, fries, and maybe a few other items. I'll be honest, I've never read the full menu because I know I'm getting a burger and chocolate shake. I know many west-coasters will disagree, but I think B-Bops gives In-and-Out a run for their money!! I love the location right by the airport. We actually ate here for a pre-trip treat. A great place to satisfy a burger craving. read more

B-Bops - 1/4 lb cheeseburger with small fry - Burgers Near Me - Des Moines, Iowa

This location is sub-par compared to the SE 14th location and Windsor Heights. Food definitely doesn't taste as fresh, which is surprising considering its one of the newest locations! I drive specifically to SE 14th if im on the south side instead of going to this location! I LOVE BBOPS but not at this location! Too bad. read more

Okay so it's a hamburgers joint with an old time nostalgia. Not having been to McDonalds for awhile it is a tough comparison but if you are looking for a fast food burger in a clean atmosphere then this is a really good alternative. The fries were hot and plentiful. The only nitpicking that I can do is to say that they only carry Pepsi products as I am a diehard Coke fan. Note that they have more than just burgers but don't go here for any wraps, salads, or other sandwich leaning toward "healthy". read more

Finally B-Bops have a location opened on the west side of the southside of Des Moines. This is probably the only B-Bops I have been to with interior seating. I'm not talking about limited seating, this is full on fast food seating with over a dozen tables. Their staff members are all extremely friendly and the location is very clean. This is hands down the best B-Bops in town. The food tastes great, but not much better than any others! read more

It is a fast food place and though the food wasn't bad it really wasn't special either. I'm a big fan of burgers, but maybe I'm getting old but I would forgo the 1/4 pounder and next time spend a few more dollars maybe at a different restaurant. read more

Visiting this place for my first time today. I ordered just a cheese burger with fries and a lemonade. Lemonade was great!! The burger was also great and was actual hamburger meat. But I did have a little mix up with my order which was an easy solution the worker did have a little attitude problem but was fixed by a boss kindly. read more

This place has really good service, really good burgers, really good fries and amazing ranch. I ordered the #1 (1/4 lb burger) with cheese, a side of fries and a soda. The fries were not too salty but they were hot and tasty. I got a side of cheese sauce and a side of ranch; the ranch was phenomenal and it complemented the fries perfectly. I will come back here if I'm in the mood for a fast food burger. read more

B-Bops is overrated. After visiting our local B-Bops we were extremely disappointed. After eating our fries we came to realize that the fries were cold. After reading the reviews about B-Bops we were hoping to be "wowed" however, the burgers tasted like the fast food from Burger King. The service was fast and the drink was good but it was way too expensive for what we got as we had to pay $12.50. Overall, we will not be coming back to B-Bops again. read more

The SE 14th Street BBops is horrible. I sat in the drive they for 45 minutes last night around 8pm. Got to the window and no one knew what they were doing. And of course our food was cold. read more

Just a great, basic, fastfood burger joint. It seems like decent quality for the price and a much tastier alternative to McDonald's or Burger King. read more

I just had lunch here. My french fries tasted like mold AND the burger was cold as ice. HARD PASS

I like it here. Perfect for a simple burger & fries. They do have chocolate shakes but not vanilla. And they serve Pepsi.

If you need a great FF burger they never let you down. The ranch is perfect! I've never been inside here, but they always have great drive through service. I don't think I've actually had a wrong order at this place. read more

Good food. New location. Had their breaded chicken sandwich. It was cooked well and hot and tasted great. Quick service. Sat in the restaurant to eat and it was nice but their is way to much chit chat from the crew, Including talking about customer interactions that I did not enjoy. Would have been five stars if the atmosphere was what it should be. read more
