    Timmy's Special
    Chris B.

    It was a beautiful Tuesday evening and we wanted to go for a short drive. After looking at a few options, we saw the pictures of Johnny and Mike's Pizza and thought we would stop by if it looked like a good place to hang out once we got there. Not to worry, the pizza place is inside of a nice sports bar right across from the Carlisle sports complex. They had one topping pizzas on sale for $10 which is a screaming good deal and also a good excuse to have a beer or two and a great evening. The pizza was a great example of Des Moines classic style, thin crust, very crispy, great sauce, and plenty of toppings. We bought an extra to take home for others. In addition to the single topping pizzas, we tried a specialty "Timmy's" with grinder, sausage, capicola and roasted peppers. The onion rings were thin, hot and crispy. The parm dressing was spot on. We'll be back.

    I hate to admit this... I've lived in the Des Moines IA metro since 1992 and this was my first…read morevisit to B&B Grocery. 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... If you haven't been yet...find the time to stop by! http://bbgrocerymeatdeli.com/

    1st visit - The Two 'Ol Chefs food truck posted up outside of my job a while back…read more It's a metro food truck I hadn't visited so it was obviously something I couldn't resist. I browsed their menu ahead of time on their Facebook page. They seem to be really good about posting their weekly schedule of locations for lunch and some afternoons/evenings out there too. I'm human so sometimes I get a little judgmental from the jump. I looked at their prices and started second guessing my lunch choice. I'm kind of a big eater and while I understand the small business model, overhead, etc. I'm always thinking about bang for my buck too. I decided on the beef brisket sandwich served on a hoagie roll with a drizzle of horseradish sauce ($10) and a large order of onion rings ($6). The staff was great. Personable and provided updates as I waited. They have pagers available if you'd rather wait inside your car instead of out in the weather. They accept cash or cards. The menu is easy to read and the condiments are staged near the window. The wait was short and the portion sizes sure didn't leave me hanging. I was asked if I wanted jalapeños mixed in. I thought she meant in the meat of the sandwich... Nope. Lightly breaded and fried jalapeño slices with the onion rings! The sandwich was STACKED with perfectly cooked lean tender brisket. The horseradish sauce was light and not overpowering. The fried onion rings and jalapeños were really good. My stomach will pay for that 2nd choice later though...along with anyone sharing space with me. The serving of rings was so large I couldn't finish them. If you're into the food truck scene I'd highly recommend tracking Two 'Ol Chefs down. Good stuff! Honestly one of the best sandwiches I've ever gotten from a truck. 2nd visit - The Two 'Ol Chefs food truck posted up outside of my job again. Had to try the double smashburger... Dayum! Someone told me after my first visit that their burgers rocked.... They sure do. Fries were hot and the burger was juicy! Service was top notch. Plastic knife for a size perspective on the patties. This truck does it right!

    I really can't leave anything but five stars for this review…read more.. I walked in and the bartender/host/our server was a dear friend and former co-worker of mine who I hadn't seen in years. It took me a few seconds to recognize her. She'd went from "a kid" to a young woman since I'd last seen her. I heard the Striking Sparrow Lounge has gone through an ownership and menu change recently. That didn't mean much to me since this was my first visit to any iteration of the Striking Sparrow Lounge. Lol I popped in for a quick lunch with a current co-worker and friend of mine. The parking lot is along the West side of SE 6th St and there are quite a few spaces available. Dala greeted us right away as we walked in. She called me out immediately. And like I said it took a minute for recognition to set in. I'm 55 now. Sometimes that happens. We took a seat at a low top table and chairs. There are high tops and booths available too as well as a long "L" shaped bar and barstools. Dala popped over and took our drink orders and gave us our menus. We ordered: 1x Fountain drink (Pepsi products) 1x Unsweetened ice tea 1x Smashburger (two patties) and fries 1x Tenderloin and fries 1x Onion rings The onion rings are hand cut and breaded. We tried them with the chipotle ranch. Served hot and fresh out of the fryer... Very good! Jeremy got the smashburger. He sets his bar for burgers at Lachele's level and comes to the Striking Sparrow Lounge as a regular for trivia on Wednesday nights. He said today's was one of the best burgers he's had here. It didn't disappoint! He's probably going to order the same when he goes back tonight. I got the tenderloin and I hate to beat the same drum, but it was very compareable to the one served at Lachele's too. I really like both! Thicker and fits the bun it's served on, not a hub cap, cooked perfectly and not dried out... The kind of sandwich you want for lunch and don't need a nap to recover from when you get back to the office. Fair warning. It's served with lettuce on it so if you are a pickles, onions, and mustard purest make sure you let them know to hold the lettuce. When you're literally a stones throw from B&B you better have a decent tenderloin and burger... Lol The fries were fantastic. A little thicker. Seasoned. Fresh and hot. I wouldn't be surprised if they were double fried. They had that unmistakable crisp to them... Dala was great. Attentive. Made sure everything was good and we had what we needed. But like I said...I'm biased. We're friends and it was really great seeing her again and catching up a little. Your mileage may vary... But I doubt it. She's just always been that kind of a person. Lol Standard table service. You can pay via Toast using a QR code on your receipt and ask about their punch card program. Buy nine pizzas and/or sandwiches and get the 10th one free. Don't quote me on that... Ask your server. I also heard from Jeremy the console video games might be free to play? I should have checked out the Galaga machine to verify that! If you've never made it over to Striking Sparrow Lounge... Stop by and check them out! If you haven't been in for a while... Maybe stop in and look over the new menu!

    Have seen photos before and finally went for lunch. Wasn't too busy, so we were greeted and ordered…read moretaken right away. It's a dive bar/slash bar food, but fantastic bar food.
