THE BEST FOOD TRUCK IN DES MOINES!!!…read more I love the burger choices and plenty of vegetarian options. My favorite is the Captain Coyle ;) and the tots. The service is great and the food is always excellent quality, served fresh and quickly. If you are in Des Moines you must try Top Bun. You will be glad you did.

The pineapple was sweet and tender, and mixed with the red peppers and savory beef was juicy and spiced to perfection. The other burger is the original top bun which was cooked well and had a nice char. The buns is what Top Bun should be proud of and loves to their name! With the juicy tender burgers the buns did not fail and held together perfectly without getting soggy. Now the truffle fries, were cooked well. Crispy outside but sender soft inside fries. Served with a spicy aoli that paired well with the fragrance and taste of the truffle oil. All in all will definitely recommend and go there again!

It was very good! The staff was very nice. We did try to call the order in ahead but we were getting a busy tone. Turns out they don't have a landline. So that's something they could improve. Definitely go try them out!

After moving away 2 years ago, eating at Des Fresh was first on my itinerary when visiting Des…read moreMoines again. We only had time for a snack and drinks. We ordered a small house salad and a side of chickpea nuggets. We also ordered the hibiscus ginger lemonade and the spiced sweet milk tea for drinks. First, the drinks were amazing. We've had milk tea all across the US, from San Francisco's bay to the mid-Atlantic region and this milk tea is by far our favorite! So flavorful but not ungodly sweet. Second, the nuggets had such a great flavor and texture! They were so filling. And the dressing on the house salad was fresh and zesty. I love this restaurant and urge anyone in Des Moines to try it!

If there was a riced cauliflower option that would be dope! You could keep a big bag of riced cauliflower from sams they steam in 5 min and bam.

The flavor is always on point perfectly seasoned, tender chicken with the right amount of kick, layered over crispy fries that hit the spot every time. It's one of those dishes you start craving the moment you think about it. Definitely a must-try if you're in the area!

A comedy of errors led me to lunch on the South side today. It's a long story…read more.. I've wanted to try Chicken Heat for some time. I love fried chicken and I'm a glutton for punishment... Although I errored on the side of caution and steered clear of the ghost and Carolina reaper levels. I walked in at about 1130 AM today and was greeted straight away! The gentleman at the counter asked if I needed a menu. But like any decent foodie I'd already done my due diligence online. I ordered a hot chicken sandwich with pickles and slaw, an order of the Nashville shrimp, and a grape Sunkist soda. I want to say the total was $18 and change before tip. He let me know it would be about a 10 min wait. Mannnn... Talk about hot and fresh. I unpacked it in my car. And hot in more ways than one... I loved that the styrofoam container for the shrimp was vented so the breading didn't get soggy. The spice level on the shrimp was excellent. A little burn, but not enough to completely overpower the delicate taste of the shrimp itself. I'd read a couple of reviews that said the spice levels on the chicken sandwiches were to the milder side so I was confident ordering hot. Those reviews were wrong. Lol My tolerance might be down a little but this was way way past the "Iowa hot" we usually get in the metro. Thank God for the slaw and the soda. There were no tears but I could sure feel it. It was so very good! Portion-wise the sandwich was massive. There were enough shrimp it was worth the money. I can usually put down two Popeye's and here...one was sure enough. I finished my lunch as one happy camper. Good show guys! I didn't feel like the extra carbs today but next time I'll definitely sample the collard greens, the mac n cheese, the onion rings, and anything else that catches my eye. I hear they do catfish on Fridays... And I love me some catfish! While my order was take out there is an indoor dining area available. To order enter through the front and head to the Right. The dining area is kind of a seperate area with it's own set of doors. After ordering head back towards the front and it's kind of to the Left.

Finally stopped by Chicken Heat for the first time at their new location. I'd tried their sandwich…read morea while back when they were still selling out of the truck. Honestly kinda mad I waited so long! It's even better than I remember. I had their "hot" sandwich the first time, and I wished it hurt a little more, so I tried the "xl" spicy this time. It was pleasantly spicy, but still not as punishing as I wanted, so I'm definitely going to try the next level up next time. The sandwich itself was HUGE, the chicken was juicy, the breading was crisp, bun was fresh, and the pickle+slaw was a nice accompaniment. All in all, a solid and satisfying sandwich (even if it didn't leave me in tears). Partner and I also got a side of fried okra, and that was a good treat! Only slight disappointment was that they didn't seem to be set up for dine-in, so had to wait a car ride home before inhaling this delicious dinner.

She recommended the wedges and I think it was a good choice. I ordered the grateful veg. The veg bowl seems to take a little longer to cook than other orders coming out just a heads up! It did taste pretty good thr veggies were well cooked and there was some flavorful balsamic over it. I wish there had been a little more though they felt like they were lacking something. If I ordered it again I would get some cheese or sour cream on it.

This was a brilliant concoction of taco meat, briskett,brisket, red onions, and sour cream. And if you like a bit of heat, it also comes with jalepenos. All of it is a riff on loaded fries except tator tots are used instead. The portion size was quite nice, the workers were very friendly, and the dish arrived quickly despite the steady line of people placing orders. Looking forward to visiting the truck again and enjoying other variations on their menu.

They were able to serve our entire party of ~180 guests super quick, and even though there was a line, just like there is for every wedding food, the guests didn't mind at all. The staff was super friendly and helpful! Now for the food..out of this world!! I had pretty much every guest I interacted with tell me how amazing the food was and how they are going to look for this food truck at every event in the future. I might be biased, but it was by far the best wedding food I've ever had!! We will support Shon and this team every opportunity that we can. The cherry on top was the price; it was the most affordable food option we could find by a long shot. Now if you could tell me that I'd get some amazing food, served by an awesome staff all for an affordable price, sign me up everyday of the week!!! Cannot say enough good things about the Big Res Food Truck, thank you to Shon and the team!!!
