I went vegan 2 years ago and haven't eaten there since then, until I found out they had a vegan burger. Normally would give a 5 star for their menu, but had to notch it down a bit for the vegan burger. When I go to a burger place I want the full greasy experience. They have a vegetable forward burger that just doesn't mimic the real experience. So while I appreciated it, and it was solid and left me wanting more. Truly I just wanted a smash impossible burger with their seasoning. They also serve it on Texas toast, which I wish they'd have an actual bun too. Tots are vegan naturally, and they make great tots. Overall I love Lachele's, but with a few tweaks they could really nail it.

You can pick inside or outside seating. The outside patio area is bigger than the inside. You go into the main building and they ask where you want to sit. It happened to be a beautiful June day so we asked for the patio. We got a nice big table close to the bar. It was shaded for us fair skinned Iowans The bar island is fairly big. Couple TVs hung in the corners and very festive. Its decorated like you are enjoying the beach coast. The waitress was on it. She had our drinks and dished out the laughs while at it. She was great. I always have questions, but I really wanted to try the Tenderloin here. Everyone in my group had questions or adjustments to their order and she took it all in stride. There was almost no other individuals here yet, but people quickly started to fill the patio up. It was mid week, in the middle of the day and this place started hopping. I ordered the Tenderloin with their special sauce for the fries that come with it. P - Please make sure you try the Tenderloin A - All the food tasted great. T - Table of 7 and everyone left stuffed or needed a box to go. I - I really loved the breading on the Tenderloin. O - Outstanding overall experience. I want to go sometime and enjoy an adult beverage on a nice summer day. There is a bike path that you can see from the patio and I am sure they get some bicyclists that stop for a bite to eat.

One of the options we wanted was out which I have heard is a fairly common thing with certain beers here. For an appetizer we ordered the bone-in Buffalo wings. They were so good and the best item that I had during this meal. I would go back for the wings alone. One of the members of my group who has been here before said the boneless wings are not good and he would only recommend the bone-in wings. For it being a Monday night and not very busy I felt like the food was taking longer than necessary, but this was my first time, so I didn't have anything to compare it to. Majority of the table ordered burgers. We all enjoyed them, but didn't think it was the best burger ever. My favorite was the jalapeño popper burger, but I really don't think you could go wrong with any of the burgers. I liked this place and will be back if the opportunity comes, but I don't think it will be a staple restaurant in our house.

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.
