    Spices!

    Finally got a sandwich and it was worth the 2 year wait....I had the Bada Bing, no tomatoes or onions, pesto Mayo on the side...yummy!

    I'm on a business trip and got one day leisure time in town. Booked marked the World Food Prize Hall of Laureates and the Graziano Bros, and both are absolutely wonderful. I got the Sophie's veggie daily special panini with focaccia, porchetta, prosciutto, garlic cheddar, fresh mozzarella, spinach, roasted red and yellow pepper, artichoke, and special dressing...the portion is big and the flavors are heavenly. Best panini I have had! I also pickuped some their homemade olives and frozen meatballs. Don't miss this store you are in town, especially the deli station. You won't be disappointed!

    A fantastic display of the store history on the Deli wall!

    I've lived in Des Moines for 3 years now and I just recently found Graziano Bros. Oh, how I have been missing out. They have all the things I need for Italian cooking. Fantastic pastas, semolina flour, 00 flour, INCREDIBLE MEATBALLS (guys, try the meatballs. They even have them frozen so you just throw them in the freezer and pop them in the skillet to toast them up. No one knows you didn't make them. I won't tell, you won't tell. No one has to know.) They even have speciality ingredients that your grandmothers weird recipes call for. The staff at Graziano's is so warm and helpful. One day, I needed ground lamb and they didn't have it in the case, because usually they just use it as an ingredient in their sausage, so they just asked if I had to do any other shopping in the store and had me wait a few minutes and popped back and ground some fresh for me. They are so kind and will help you find the products you need. Des Moines is so lucky to have a spot like Graziano's in town. And seriously people, the mini frozen meatballs, throw those in some Italian wedding soup, it'll change your life. Wowza.

If you haven't tried it, you're missing out, just saying. I would also recommend their tea selection, which is also extensive and cheap. They have everything you'd expect in a specialty grocery store, from spices to meats, from canned foods to sweets/snacks that you definitely wouldn't be able to find at any American grocery store. It truly is an excellent selection. Whether or not you are familiar with the foods, I highly recommend checking this place out. Seriously, the chocolate selection alone will knock your socks off.

    Another birthday stop!…read more Keaire (key air) Sorry if I am hacking the spelling of your name, but I wanted to mention you in my review since you are a ROCK STAR!!! We were originally heading to Alleged Lee's but they were not open yet, but Keaire (sp?) was out front and gave us the 411 and invited us to stop into Quinton's for a spell. We could not ignore her hospitality so we went in and sat at the bar (like we do). Where we were treated like royalty (well maybe not that good, but close!) We just had a couple of drinks but my birthday beer was huge! The place is fun, modern and bright. Big open garage doors let the world in and make the place feel bigger and fresh! The drinks and beer selection is fantastic; offering a wide variety of mixed drinks, the domestics beers and a host of awesome local micro brews. The walls have hand painted murals honoring sone of those breweries, Very cool touch! We will definitely need to come back in and enjoy some food. we saw some come out of the kitchen and it looked delicious!

I ordered the BLT with a side of fries. Mr W ordered the buffalo chicken Mac n Cheese. Spent $39.xx with gratuity and a $1.70 service charge fee. Pro Tip: the service charge fee is an unavoidable fee. And no it's not a tipping fee. Service was ok. Our server was a little quirky but it was fine. Glad that they got us in and out of there on time. Ambiance was typical bar feel. Plenty of places to sit and open space. I can see this place more enjoyable in the summer with the giant windows open and with some good friends. I enjoyed the music that was playing tonight. I felt that was the only thing that exceeded my expectations.

The business has seen a substantial decrease in sales since the pandemic and have been struggling with the construction in the area affecting customer traffic. I'm not really sure I can say anymore than what has already been said by so many others recently... So I'm going to keep this relatively short. I went with a cheese rite with everything in a basket with fries and a drink (Pepsi products) and a plain chili cheese rite... Support local! It's an easy thing to do when a place serves good food and has a great staff... Brian and his team are personable and do a wonderful job at the counter and in their kitchen. Maid-Rite sandwiches are nostalgic for me and evergreen in that the first one I had was probably close to 50 years ago... And I still enjoy them today. And a fun fact. As much as I enjoy a breaded pork tenderloin (which Maid-Rite also serves)... Loose meat sandwiches are the official state sandwich Iowa is known for. Google it. Grab a Maid-Rite sandwich!

Pretty shameful on my part considering the shop was first opened by the Brooks family in 1922... I'm not a big fan of downtown, but B&B isn't quite as downtown as I thought. More Southside. The store is a definitely mom and pop. There's a small lot to park in just off of Hartford Ave and there is additional street parking available. You enter by the grocery area. There's a counter and register kind of to your Left as you walk in. You walk past the counter and you will see the sandwich and meat counter further to your left. For sandwiches you walk to the furthest end of the counter where the sandwich menu is hanging and place your order. When your food is ready they call it out by the items in the order. Payment is done at the counter and register back towards the front of the store. First off the food was great! No complaints. The selection is HUGE... Something like 74 sandwiches available to order and a nice selection of sides. I took my order to go, but there is limited seating available for dine in too. I ordered an extra large breaded pork tenderloin with onions, pickles, and mustard. An order of hot cheeseballs (comes with ranch). And a dad's killer sandwich (cold). My total came to just around $30. Cash preferred. 2.5% surcharge for using a card. The tenderloin reminded me of Chuckie's and that puts it in good company. A little thicker and on a proportional bun. Similar breading. The cheeseballs were fresh out of the fryer and the ranch is fantastic; made in house I assume. The meat and the vegetables on the deli sandwich were impressively fresh. The real star here to me was service! As I walked in one of the staff had two young girls by a board with some toys and jewelry on it. He was counting down as they studied the board. The girls were laughing as they were deciding on a choice. Some sort of giveaway game for kids they do when they have time I assume... I was greeted immediately as I walked up to order. There were three or so people waiting for their food. Placing an order was easy. I'd looked at the menu online and kind of already knew what I wanted, but it was still fun to look over the colorful boards and signage. They were busy working on their tasks but there was some cordial banter back and forth. The wait was short and there are plenty of things to keep you visually occupied here too. Everything was individually wrapped and taped up in butcher's paper. As I took my items all three gentlemen behind the sandwich and meat counter thanked me for coming in. When was the last time that happened to you at a big box store...? I'm not an introvert... I struck up a conversation with another customer and the woman at the register as I was paying. The other patron and I stood outside and talked for a bit. We were about the same age I think...he might have been a skosh older...mid-50s to early 60s. He was the one who told me how long the store had been open, the family name, and that he had been brought/coming here since he was three years old. Said his mom still calls it Brooks Grocery (v. B&B)... Not that I couldn't have found all that online, but I'm not one to shy away from a friendly visit of any kind. I mentioned to him that I found the customer service here to be a really refreshing thing. He said he thought the three gentlemen helping us had been there maybe 15 years or so. A handshake and thank you and we were both on our way. Can't say enough about my visit to B&B Grocery today! Friendly service and great food! Fair pricing. Don't make my same mistake...
