    On left how it's supposed to look verses mine on the right.

    Another Blizzard soup! When I pointed it out to the employees, I was informed this is the way the banana split blizzard is supposed to be. This may be the first blizzard that i could not stand to eat.

    How many places in town have a clown come and hang with the kids once a week! Yes its true Dairy Queen Grill and Chill in Waukee has a kids night on Wednesday with clown! This is a great DQ it's bigger then most I have been in, and very clean as well! Nice patio for outdoor sitting! They have a very nice staff who was super helpful! They have one of those fancy digital soda machines where you can make your Mr. Pibb have cherry in it! This location is also the first one around to offer up the DQ Bakes which includes various sandwiches, melts, and hot deserts! Everyone in the world loves 2 things! Sleep and Ice Cream! And this is the spot for at least one of those in Waukee!

    Employees always work quickly. No matter how long the drive through line is the work quickly to get the cars through the line. This summer they have a cotton candy blizzard. They have a number of sizes to fit your appetite. Many times your receipt will give you the opportunity to go on line and do a quick survey. By completing the survey they will give you a code for a free treat on your next visit.

    Banana split.   Yum!

    This place is DA BOMB. I have got ice cream here many times along with their cake. I've tried burgers here also. This place does everything well. This location even has an outdoor sitting area. Love it!

    This new hot dessert is my new favorite! HOT APPLE TART...oh yeah!

    This place delivers serious Chicago bar vibes in the best way possible…read more Service? On point. Our glasses were never empty, and the staff checked in just enough to feel attentive without hovering. Now let's talk food, because it slaps. The onion rings are the real deal. Proper onion rings. Perfect batter-to-onion ratio, no sad, hollow rings here. The jalapeño poppers are equally legit, crispy breading, creamy filling, and just the right kick. And the wings? On a whole different level. Plump, meaty, and absolutely delicious. Sunday special: 20 wings for $22. That's not a deal, that's a public service. If you like great food, solid service, and classic Chicago bar energy, this spot delivers across the board.

    4.4* (out of 5) Food: 4* Atmosphere: 5* Value: 4*…read more Service: 4* Would I go back / Recommend?: 5* (Definitely) Total check/person: $40 04/25/2026 We were looking for a sports bar to watch the Minnesota Wild playoff game, so thought we would try 85 Bar West...even though they were a Chicago-focused venue. Fortunately, they came through and put the game on several screens for us to watch during our visit. We started with an order of Onion Rings (see picture) - and they were the best onion rings I've had in many years. They were uniformly battered, uniformly fried to nice, crispy light brown color, and most importantly - a slightly crunchy onion inside that bit off cleanly so that you could dip it again! The picture itself does pretty good justice on their quality - and the dipping sauce was quite tasty also! For dinner, my wife ordered the Low Carb Beef Bowl w/ Pepperjack cheese & Rice (see picture) and I went with the Classic Wings split between Lemon Pepper Dry Rub and Mango Habanero sauce (see picture). We both really enjoyed the Low Carb Beef Bowl, finding it just as tasty as the name implies (all of the peppery zing of an Italian Beef with a melted cheese top - with rice replacing the bun). I was admittedly a bit disappointed with the wings, especially given the award-winning claims in the menu. My first impression and comment to my wife was that they were quite small in size. Secondly, while they tasted reasonably moist and tender, as the picture shows - they appeared to be dried out / overcooked...with meat pulling away from the bone. The Mango Habanero wings had very little spice given their name and very little sauce, with some barely wet and essentially none in the serving tray to use to add. While the wings would give me pause before ordering again, we REALLY liked the onion rings and everything else that we've ordered has been above average. The other thing I enjoy is their reasonable selection of craft beers (really liked the Chicago local Cold Time) as well as the unique cocktails. This is a solid stop.

Central Standard was so easy to work with to make a reservation for a group of 25. I called a week in advance and placed the reservation. Then the day of the reservation I had to add a couple more people, then our game got done early, so asked if we could come earlier. Each accommodation was met with such friendliness. Our server was great! Must be used to dealing with big groups. We enjoyed our food as well. My family got the garlic teriyaki dry rub wings as an appetizer, they were good! I ordered the mushroom Swiss burger - delicious! And got the tater tots - probably the best tater tots I've ever had. Perfectly salty!

Tonight we started by sharing a Pretzel & Beer Cheese appetizer (see picture). While I don't often order pretzels, this was a great combination of texture (soft / tearable) and flavor (buttery with tasty seasonings) that I really enjoyed! For dinner, my wife ordered Traditional Wings (see picture) while I opted for the Oh No! burger (see picture). While we both enjoyed the wings, sweet potato fries and a side order of tots, we both found the burger to be well done and a bit on the dry side to our tastes.

From the start, Chef Sean has delivered inventive, memorable flavors while maintaining an impressive level of consistency in both quality and service--beautifully supported by his wife Andrea, who helps create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Our visit this past Saturday was no exception. I ordered from the seasonal menu--so I'm not sure how long these dishes will be available--but the Roasted Cauliflower Salad and the Cajun Shrimp Alfredo were outstanding. Truly crave-worthy. The cocktail program is just as thoughtfully crafted; my personal favorite is the "Gone Sailin'." We're already looking forward to our next visit :)

Tonight, we met with friends before a concert and enjoyed the food and drinks. I started with a Blind Tiger tequila drink (see picture) along with Fried Babybel (see picture) - both very good. For our dinner, my wife ordered Steak Fajita Tacos (see picture) and I went with the PB&J Wings (see picture). Not only were all of the food and drinks fantastic, but we also caught the end of Happy Hour, so we also saved some cash on several of our plates!

This most recent stop was to meet a friend from Church after work and it turned out to be a great meeting spot. I started with the Hot Skinny B*/ch (see picture) and as the name implies, the jalapeno tequila and additional sliced jalapenos gave it a good spicy kick! I loved it...but if you aren't into the stronger jalapeno burn, you might not enjoy it as much as I did. For our dinner, we started with an order of Southwest Egg Rolls (see picture) and then each of us ordered some Wings (see picture). While ideally I would have preferred that both orders not be fried as much as they were, both were still quite tasty and above average pub food.

I air fried those leftover Brussels sprouts for lunch the next day & they were just as good. The seats were very comfortable also. The service was great. We were waited on quickly and efficiently. Everyone was very friendly. However my friend does not recommend their chicken strips. I looked at them and reconsidered trying any. She did advise the honey mustard was delicious though. Will definitely be back to try other foods/drinks.
