Odd that I've revisiting this review again around a July 4th weekend... Lol…read more One of the best gas stations in West Des Moines and definitely the best roller grill you will find in the area..! Staff is always easy to work with. Sitting right along I-235 it can get pretty busy at times. Every now and then it could probably be a little cleaner, but you take the bad with the good I guess... Speaking of bad... Why tf did you all get rid of the frozen coffee options? Corporate call I'm guessing as it seems to be all the QT locations and not just this one. smh Now that I think about it... Why am I giving this place 5 stars? Sheesh... I guess comparatively speaking it's still basically the best gas station around as far as drink selection and food in West Des Moines. Unless you want pizza... If you want pizza it's Casey's hands down. Two mega slices for $6! And the pizza is WAY better at Casey's. QT pizza kind of blows... C'mon QT! I'm throwing down the gauntlet on pizza. You can do better... Level up your pizza game and let's see what you got...! Do you have what it takes to topple Casey's on their home court? Bring it on...I double dog dare you.

QuikTrip foods are decent, good fountain selection, reasonable donuts, etc. I think that QuikTrip is upscale as convenience stores go, while still being a convenience store. One of QuikTrips better virtues is that their fuel handling is clean. Better than usual fuel better than usual handling. Things to know: * Easy access off of I-235. * This location has the new coffee beverage on tap stations. These are nice, when they work. Every other stop I make the machines are out of order. I hope to see a reduction of this headache as they continue to get the maintenance sorted out.

I've been here a few times now, and honestly I haven't bought anything besides food court and gas, but I also haven't seen any grumpy people or customers, so I hope the one star ratings are just really bad luck. But also this is a Costco and you don't really need to know much bc they are all so much the same.

All I ever expect out of convenience store is parking (check), cleanliness (check), and service (double check). I zipped in for my coffee, went to the counter and was greeted by a young man who asked how my day was going - putting some sincerity to the tone of his voice. This was a very pleasant experience, and I highly recommend this Kwik Star. Here's a pick of me enjoying my fine brewed Karuba (love it) coffee with a great song for the road.)

Worth the Wait at Jersey Mike's…read more Stopped by the Jersey Mike's on SW Vintage Parkway in Ankeny today for a quick dinner pickup. We placed our order through the app (super convenient) for a #6 Roast Beef and Provolone and a #55 Big Kahuna Chicken Cheese Steak. ## The Experience The place was hopping during the dinner rush when we arrived, which explained why our wait was a bit longer than expected. That said, I was impressed watching the staff hustle behind the counter - everyone was working efficiently and still managing to be friendly to each customer. No small feat during a lunch rush! ## The Food Our sandwiches were absolutely worth the short wait. The #6 Roast Beef and Provolone ($10.95) was made perfectly - tender roast beef with that delicious combo of provolone, red wine vinegar, and fresh veggies on their rosemary parmesan bread. The #55 Big Kahuna Chicken Cheese Steak ($10.25) was equally impressive - juicy philly chicken with white American cheese, just the right amount of jalapeño heat, and those perfectly grilled onions. I appreciated that they followed our "extra love" special instruction too! ## The Value At just over $21 before tax for two substantial sandwiches, the value is solid. These aren't your average thin cold cuts - Jersey Mike's doesn't skimp on quality or quantity. ## Overall While it wasn't the fastest pickup experience, the staff's positive attitude and the excellent sandwich quality more than made up for the slight wait. The Ankeny location seems well-managed even during the dinner rush, and I'll definitely be back (though maybe avoiding peak dinner hours if I'm in a hurry). Next time I'll remember to take pictures before devouring everything!

Also not to mention every time she is apart of building my sandwich whether it's doing the slicing or the toppings she messes it up and if I respectfully ask for it to be fixed I get even more attitude and horrible glares. The first few times I chalked it up to her just having a bad day but the fact that this has happened 6 times in a row isn't by chance. Horrible service and she clearly hates her job and she ruins the whole experience every single time and whenever I come to this location I cross my fingers she isn't working. She needs to be talked to by management because I know I'm not the only one to experience this HORRIBLE service
