A group of six of us met for happy hour on a fairly busy Wednesday evening. They have great food…read moreand drink specials during happy hour so we tried a number of different items. We had a few plates of the loaded nachos with chicken and with beef... They were heaped high and delicious. Plenty on each plate for two or three people. The meat additions are not discounted during happy hour, but even at full price with the half-price nachos it's a bargain. Others in our group got the quesadillas and we shared some deviled eggs. All of them are very tasty. We also got some cheese balls. They were pretty much the standard fair but also very good. Drinks are another great bargain during the happy hour with discounted beer and mixed drinks. All the drinks were very tasty. Our server was Bailey. She was very pleasant, fun, and enthusiastic. The food came out very quickly, and the drinks came off the bar in a very reasonable time as well. There is a large U-shaped bar and plenty of booth and table seating along with that outdoor patio. There is a 4% non-cash adjustment for using your credit card. Definitely a very discounted happy hour, but the food was delicious and I would try it again for happy hour or just for dinner

Don't tell him I went without him :) Anyway, I'm glad the wife and I gave it a try. We walked in at 5:30 on a Friday and it was busy. We didn't wait but for a few minutes and had a table. The greeter was very friendly and our server was super nice and pleasant to have as a waiter. His recommendations were spot on. The whole restaurant was hopping busy but operating very smoothly. Not a quiet place, a true sports bar ambiance. The wings were very very good. Maybe some of the better ones I've had here in town. The gyro was fantastic, and huge. Great value. The wife's flatbread was great too. Excellent food all the way around. Prices for very reasonable. Happy hour helps some of the prices for sure, but still a well priced establishment. We are fans of this place and will most certainly be back.

Holy crap! Talk about a hidden gem! Being set a little back off of 100th in Urbandale and just a…read morecouple blocks North of Douglas... It's not exactly literally hidden. I just don't see a lot of marketing about this place. Tito's has been on my list for a little while. I've looked at their menu online several times. Everything looked great; I just hadn't made the time. Tito's opened in November of 2021 and specializes in Mediterranean and Balkan cuisine. Tito's is part of the strip of businesses. There's a large adjacent parking lot. They have a small outdoor patio in front. Seating inside is mostly high top tables and chairs and bar stools at the bar. There may have been a couple low tops and booth and chair combinations available too... We were greeted right away when we walked in. We picked a seat along the North wall and Britney, our server, introduced herself and helped us through their drink menu. I probably misspelled her name. and I couldn't find my receipt... Lol it was Saturday evening so there were games running on all the TVs. The food menu is large and includes appetizers, burgers and sandwiches, flatbreads, pizzas, their signature Mediterranean and Balkan items (cevapi, gyros, skewers, pljeskavica, etc), pastas, soups and salads, sides and even dessert items (including tiramisu). We ordered the following: 1x Firecracker shrimp 1x Steak quesadilla 1x Diablo pasta with chicken 1x Side of fries... 2x Big Grove Summer Jam sour 1x Tequila sunrise 1x fountain drink (Pepsi products) As far as lounges or bar and grills go this might be some of the best food I've had across the entire metro...! EVERYTHING was so good! Even the fries... They had that finish where you almost feel like they've been slightly battered and then double fried. Extremely crispy and hot, fresh, right out of the fryer. A lot of times when fries cool down...they lose their edge...and I'd rather just leave them sit after that. Not these. Still crispy even towards the end of the meal! The FIrecracker shrimp was heavily breaded. Not something I can say I've had before... Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of this dish, but most of the time it's very lightly breaded or even sauteed. Doesn't really matter... The crunch of the breading made for a great contrast in texture and worked well with the sauce. It was delicious! My friend really enjoyed their steak quesadilla and the Diablo pasta was off the chain! So good! Not too hot, but it has a kick... Definitely rivals some of the more well know Italian spots who serve a variation of this also...! It looks like they have daily specials, a trivia night, and offer a weekend brunch. The online menu v. the table menu does differ slightly. I found the online menu is missing some items (like the Diablo pasta). Britney was personable and friendly. Very attentive for as busy as they were. Couldn't have asked for a better server! Definitely someplace I will look forward to revisiting! And if you haven't visited Tito's yet... You should! https://titosloungeia.com/

Pale ales are usually not my choice but it was worth a try. I ended up ordering 3 before we left. For food each ordered 2 tacos each a la carte. I ordered one grilled shrimp taco and one blackened chicken taco. My friend ordered one fish taco and shrimp taco. We ordered 1/2 order of the jumbo pretzel appetizer which came with one jumbo pretzel, queso, and nacho chips. The queso had a good amount of heat. The pretzel was soft and not too much salt. Our server was professional and friendly

Breakfast at the Beaver Tap…read more Walked in for a late breakfast on Sunday. Met a girlfriend to enjoy some breakfast. Tables were almost full. Bar was busy too. We snagged a spot near the back. The waiter was quick to take our drink requests. He came back soon and I asked his recommendations. He sold me on a omelet and my girlfriend got french toast My girlfriend sold me on the Taps potatoes. I haven't had potatoes like that. Almost cut like potatoes chip but then fluffy and fried. Not over crunchy and not to heavy. The make to order omelet was good to. For some reason they left the bacon out but I just tossed it on top with the avacado I was craving. The TVs were on but not to loud yet. There was some football playing later in the afternoon but it wasn't game time yet Music played as we sat and chatted. The food was good. My friend really liked her French toast and black tea. I'm glad I made it out for breakfast. The staff was friendly the whole time. Completely affordable breakfast for us two ladies. I think I want to come back and do this again.

The restaurant was empty apart from a guys at the bar saying h*m*phobic stuff all night. I got a spicy margarita and it was very poorly made, I do not suggest the jalapeño tequila. I had my margarita remade into mango and it was much better the second time but still very small. The food took forever to come out in an empty restaurant. The service on every level is astronomically slow. I am gluten free. The pizza is an average gluten free pizza. The toppings were inconsistent and overall it was just ok.

Staff was insulting. After waiting an hour and still not served, we decided to change our mind and…read morego somewhere else. Staff was hostile and abusive to me and my wife all the way out the door. I was outside while my wife stayed at the front desk to try to smooth things over, and the staff yelled at me outside, on the public street, threatening me and my wife who was still inside. I insisted on collecting my wife and leaving. All I asked was an acknowledgement that the staff was out of line escalating the situation when we were trying to leave peaceably and had already exited the door. I tried calling after we left to at least collect a simple courteous explanation, but the staff yelled at me and hung up three times. Then the restaurant owner called me, and boy can I tell where the problem is! He also yelled at me and threatened me for nothing while claiming I'd attempted to assault his staff. I never even raised my voice, never got a word in edgewise. Currently the owner is on social media trying to slander me. He keeps changing his story too, saying I assaulted first the hostess and then the server. Video footage is on my side and will be subpoenaed as evidence if necessary. Since the entire staff wants to keep escalating and escalating this situation all night long and into morning, I'm fighting back. I was insulted, harassed, and discriminated against, just because I tried to eat dinner. All Felix and Oscars' owner need do is simply apologize and I'd consider the matter settled.

Our primary reason for stopping back tonight was for 'research and development' for my happyhourdesmoines.com website. This meant a smaller total check, as we only sampled a couple of Happy Hour specials - and they were quite tasty. We shared an order of Chicken Wings (see picture) and I ordered a House Margarita (see picture). The chicken wings were very good and I'll say that I enjoyed the House Margarita as much as the better ones in Mexican restaurants. We have enjoyed all of our stops at Bix & Co. and tonight was no different.
