Drink
Miranda S.

Mixed drinks cheaper than drafts. Drinks were good. After looking at the menu we opted to go.elsewgere as the prices seemed high for the amount of food & area. But it was a nice restaurant. Friendly staff. Took a while to get our drinks though even though they were seemingly not busy at all (2 other small parties) then took an even longer time to get our check. We did not try the food. We didnt use the restrooms either. We might return to try something to eat.

Chicken Caesar Salad
Devon D.

was looking for a GF spot along our drive through Des Moines and Gilroy's did not disappoint! The best spinach dip I've had (we got with tortilla chips, but they do have GF naan chips to). Also ordered caesar salad with chicken and the dressing was amazing. Sweet potatoes on the side w/ garlic aoili. Super nice server too. 10/10!

Honey Citrus salad
Erin L.

On Sundays, it's family Buffett style for around $25. But let me tell you, it's a TON of food, there's a TON of items to choose from, and you even get one take-home box. ‍ We came in around 1pm on Sunday with football in full swing and were able to be seated at the bar. Our waitress had a full section to serve at the bar plus be the bartender for all the drink orders coming in from other servers, and she never missed a beat. She gave great recommendations on food when we ordered, kept our drinks full until our food arrived, and always had an eye on us in case we needed anything else. The food: delicious. I had the citrus salad. Exactly as it sounds and it was very fresh and light. The crispy bacon was just that, crispy and so good. I'm picky on Mac n cheese, so it was a bit dry, but my son loved it, especially the chicken on top. My husband loved the biscuits and gravy and the pancakes were fluffy. I also noticed the array of whisky on the shelf, so I'm going to have to come back for drinks next time and also try their regular menu. Definitely will be back and hope we get the same server/bartender. Saylor was her name. (Not pictured was the amazing brownies and fried chicken)

Father's Day steak on brunch
Teleza D.

Came on Saturday the day before Father's Day. There was an extended menu with additional items including steak and Cajun pasta. The steak was tender and flavorful, but it was Josiah that made brunch amazing. He was very accommodating and fast. He was was able to give recommendations and even move our table from outside to inside. We always get exceptional service when here. Love Gilroys.

honey bacon Alfredo(Spinach) pizza

Tried 3 pizzas to go. Cheeseburger was the best. Taste of mustard or similar to consider. Honey bacon Alfredo. Good. Honey needed for sweetness. Sausage / pep was lacking sauce, dry. All 3 needed the sauce/toppings more towards the edge as the crust was tough and much of it was tossed.

Cheese Curds
Natalie E.

Overall, Gilroy's delights with solid food and great service. We started with wings and cheese curds. These are a nice thinly battered curd, tempura style I think. Wonderful! The fried chicken is legit. Nicely breaded and seasoned, juicy chicken. The green beans were large and some were fairly raw. Thick and just not pleasant to eat. The scalloped potatoes were pretty good, but a bit under seasoned. Just missing something. Also enjoyed the jambalaya pasta with shrimp and sausage. Loved the spices, the veg, the whole dish just worked. The kids meal pizza was very well done and I would have been happy with that as my entree! Lots of places really do the bare minimum with kids meals but thrush pizza tasted great. We had a fairly large group, about 8. They did change an 18% tip automatically, which was fine, just be aware they do that for larger parties. They did give good service and handled our group with ease.

Margherita pizza +artichoke and arugula
Michele C.

This is no regular pub with a patio! This is a gourmet delight in hiding!! The service is delightful. We sat out in the patio which was aerated and comfortable. The pitchers of mules are so worth it!! Recommend the Peach & strawberry mules highly!! We ordered family style to share. The burger is way more than a mouthful and absolutely delicious. On the top of my list of best burgers ever! The pizza was thin crusted and also amazing. Was too full to order dinner but I guarantee I'll be back here again next month when I'm back in Iowa!!

Cajun jambalaya pasta

Stopped in for dinner was disappointed they wouldn't seat us on the patio. Having said had friendly server while sat in bar area. Pro tip get the Cajun jambalaya and cheese curds

Honey Citus Salad -mango, apple, almonds, blue cheese and honey lime vinaigrette with Salmon.

Intimate, dark atmosphere inside, and brighter (and often warmer!) out back on the patio. Meatloaf and Salmon entrees are regulars for us, but we've tried almost every sandwich and many of the other entrees, and they are always full of flavor and delicious. Salads are fresh and have very good quality lettuce and veggies. Dressings are good as well. Small bar with drop in seating, but it pays to get a reservation. They currently use Toast to take reservations and you'll get a reminder the day prior to your visit. Walk in's often find it challenging to squeeze in here! Service is always good and the bartenders make a good drink.

4.8* (out of 5) Food: 5* Atmosphere: 5* Value: 4*…read more Service: 5* Would I go back / Recommend?: 5* (Definitely) Total check/person: $35 01/22/2026 We returned to one of our favorite places downtown due to receiving a special offer through email. We started with a delicious Tupelo Margarita and a dark lager beer, from their good selection of tap beers. For our dinner, my wife ordered the Tupelo Shrimp & Grits (see picture) and I opted for the Smothered Chicken with cream corn and green beans (see picture) for sides. As we've come to expect from our visits to Tupelo Honey, both main dishes as well as the sides were delicious - chicken was crispy and juicy and both the Shrimp & Grits and cream corn were buttery and creamy. When they say Southern Comfort Food...they mean it! If you found this review helpful, please show your appreciation with a Like or a Follow.

I would like to preface this review by saying, the reason I gave 2 stars is because our server was…read moreso kind and the "Kiss My Grits" sign in the entrance of the restaurant was cute. As far as the remaining experience, significantly disappointing. I have never had such bland food in my life. I got the Chicken & Waffles, cooked perfectly, however the flavor profile was similar to that of loose leaf paper. I was so hungry coming from my flight that I ate it but it took likely enough salt and butter to raise my blood pressure for there to be a smidge of taste in my meal. It's a pretty restaurant to go grab drinks and maybe an appetizer but not much else. Overall 3/10.

Friday Night At the Angry Gold Fish…read more This is usually a solid place to get a burger, but came up short. We arrived around 7:30 and it was busy. I asked for the corner table which was large and there were two of us. I chose it because it was quiet and it was so loud. The waitress seamed super annoyed. I am deaf in one ear and this was the best place so I could hear and actually enjoy the place. I didn't feel her attitude was justified. If she would have kept pushing the point it was going to get pushed to the manager as I have several disabilities and I don't use them, but I do choose certain places to sit to help manage them. My expectation is for the waitress to be kind and shouldn't matter if it's two people, four people, or six people. Should be glad to have a customer and business. My wife and I got a Knob Creek on the rocks to start off. We also each got the old fashion, one with tots and one with fries. The burgers have really good flavor, but wasn't even hot. The bun was super dry and I wound up leaving the bun and eating the burger. The tots were really good, but also not hot. My wife's was the same. The French fries were good, but not hot. I didn't say anything to the waitress because based on her attitude it was just going to make the night worse and I was out to have a nice evening. I have been here several times and this is my first bad experience here and I hope it's not a sign that the restaurant is going downhill. This is one of my go to spots in Des Moines to get a great burger and it should be fire on a Friday night. Fresh and delicious, not cold and dry, is the new requirement, an angry waitress to complete the Angry Goldfish vibe?

I had the Old Fashioned with brown sugar, orange bitters, angostura bitters, and bourbon. It's pretty sweet and smooth Old Fashioned. Very nice start and enjoyable. Decided on the CFD Burger, a double smash with American Cheese, Shaved Onion, Pickles, and Clyde's Burger Sauce. I really like the shaved onion and it gave the beef a really nice flavor. First bites were very good, but the bun became too much and the sauce in the middle too heavy. Became hard to finish. I had to ditch some bun and would get the sauce on the side. Not terrible, just not my jam. I would get the sauce on the side or try ketchup/ mustard instead. The bun is just really thick and heavy. Just not a good ratio. The fries were just ok for me and not exciting. This restaurant also has the 3% fee if you use a credit card. I checked the receipt and gave a hundred dollars and asked for change. I included a picture of the receipt. I got thirty in cash back, 5 singles, a 5, and 2 tens. I am ok with not giving the change of coins, but rounding it up and keeping the 3% fee made me feel like integrity has went down hill. Yes it's less than 5 dollars and I know the haters will say what's the big deal. Well it's a neat way to make extra cash at the customers expense. They don't remove the fee and they keep a few dollars. That's not an accident and it feels like theft. I had left $12 for the tip, but after a review I left 10% due to dishonest customer service. What's the point of paying cash on these if you still get charged? Some have said it's leftover from the Covid Days. How many restaurants are doing a 3% fee? Yes, I know it's supposed to cover the CC fee, but it is obviously not if you are paying cash. This just feels really crooked and wrong. Yes it is a very small amount, just over $4, but if you do that how many times, how many days, over a year it definitely adds up. Not sure I would go back. No I didn't talk to a manager or anyone. I had a show to catch and wasn't going to ruin a night over a fee and be late. Just be aware of the fees when paying cash. Really feel the 3% fee just makes restaurants look bad and provides more problems than it solves. Why not add a 6% fee for lights and gas next?
