    Parmesan Chicken
    Jessica L.

    Christopher's, yum, yum, yum!! Just ate there with my husband for the first time. Service, food, perfect! Spinach and artichoke- creamy and good! Bread warm, butter semi soft- totally dip worthy. Salads with house dressing, great! I got fettuccine Gorgonzola. It's hard for me to find and it's a favorite of mine. This was creamy and the steak was a perfect medium! Tasted amazing! My husband got the chicken Parmesan with both sauces. He loved it!! We will be going again and again!! I found my fav pasta dish! It's darker in there and I loved it but pictures were darker.

    Mushrooms

    Have been back many times amazing place and food. We had the mushrooms to start were so amazing. My sister and I got spaghetti and we loved it. The bread and salad were great too. The service is always amazing the bussers really were so kind and made our days. Thank you so much!

    Chicken Parm..soggy breading and not fully cooked.

    $60 for 2, no drinks. Chicken Parm, was soggy breading, sauce had no flavor. Lasanga, noodles over cooked and sauce no flavor. Chicken was not fully cooked, we did not eat or take leftovers home. Will not come again. Hope we don't get sick!!

    Bix - Cheese on chicken nachos

    4.6* (out of 5) Food: 4* Atmosphere: 5* Value: 4*…read more Service: 5* Would I go back / Recommend?: 5* (Definitely) Total check/person: $10 04/28/2026 Bix & Co. 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.

    We choose Bix & Co. before a show at the Val Air…read more We started with the Cheese Curds. Cubed Wisconsin white cheddar cheese in a light and crispy beer batter with Bix's pizza sauce. Wow, amazing flavor that just smacks your taste buds awake. What a fantastic start. The Burger & Tots were good which we split. The burger is chuck, brisket, and short rib ground to perfection on a South Union Bakery Bun. The tots were nice and crispy. The pizza was fantastic! We choose Tony's combo no olives or shrooms, add onion with the Cup & Char Pepperoni and Graziano Sausage. Cracker this crust and the Bix's pizza sauce. What a fantastic pizza, so delicious and perfect. The service was great and we will be back.

Chef Lynn greeted me when I walked in and took time to chat with me. Everyone and everything here is fabulous and I will be back as often as possible. The food, service and ambiance are fabulous!

    Train wreck-in every way. We flew into Des Moines from AZ and a friend suggested this restaurant…read more We arrived at 8pm for our 8:15pm reservation. There were two other tables in the whole restaurant so needless to say it was quiet. Our server was sweet but obviously not trained on efficient and fast service but was probably encouraged to run like a bunny when things go sideways. We ordered two glasses of wine and an old fashioned. Figured I just got off of a plane so why not get the evening going with some bourbon and have a Plan B with the glass of wine when I am ready. Two glasses of wine were delivered but no old fashioned. Who does this? Anyhow, old fashioned came out next. We ordered a cup of soup and a small salad to start with and then ordered a burger, medium, with fries and the pasta bolognese. The soup and salad came out but there was a long stretch of time before entrees came out. When they finally arrived the burger was very rare inside so my wife let the server know and she apologized and scurried off. I tried to wait but it was getting cold so I slowly nibbled. After 20 minutes, I flagged down our server and asked if the burger was coming out and she said "oh, do you want another one"? It was now 9pm and they were closing but we were not leaving until we enjoyed a medium burger. When the new burger came out, she said the "owner made it himself. We cut it in half to check the temperature it was still pink. How can an owner of a restaurant not know how to make a medium-medium well burger? And why didn't he walk out and deliver it himself and apologize? Not a word! My dish was finished and plate was gone while my wife finally had her burger. We had planned to eat together that was not going to happen tonite. She ate half and we took the rest of it to go. With wine, an old fashioned and the worst dinner experience, we spent $174 with tip. Huge mistake. Here is my tip: train your servers on how to take care of customers. To the cooks, invest in a thermometer if you can't tell when a burger is medium. To the owner, step out and make sure your customers are happy and enjoying your food.
