The first night we went to this restaurant, we sat at the bar and had some drinks, the corn jalapeño dip and the fish and chips. Boy, everything was so good the service was great! The restaurant had the Irish bar feel which we love. Go have a seat at the bar and enjoy! The second we went in for drinks with a group. All the drinks were great! read more

Went here for late breakfast. Had been being advised to check it out for months now but it's not convenient to get to from where I live. Anyway. Finally went here and I was not let down. There were only 3 gals working the entire time taking care of cooking and bartending and waiting on everyone in the estaishment. Definitely efficient and friendly staff. We ordered drinks and breakfast. Both were quickly served. My breakfast burger was delicious with layers ofhashbriwns and eggs and bacon and a burger. The diced potatoes were also great. My partner had the meat lovers omlette and was very happy with the entire meal. My only complaint is the price of the state fair lemonade (vodka lemonade) was 8.50$ which a typical vodka lemonade or cranberry is 6$. However it was delicious and the prices in this area are just typically higher than other areas so I do understand. I'd definitely go back again for food & drinks! read more

4.6* (out of 5) Food: 4* Atmosphere: 4* Value: 5* Service: 5* Would I go back / Recommend?: 5* (Definitely) Total check/person: $20 04/01/2025 We have stopped here a few times since the last review, including a Trivia Night with a great taco value (unfortunately, we ate before the last minute invite to join a team there) - but hadn't taken the time to update my review. We stopped for their Tuesday night Burger Special...which left me wondering why we weren't going there every Tuesday night for burgers! I ordered a Burger (of course - see picture) and was thoroughly impressed with it! Usually when you ask for a medium rare burger, it is brought out medium well to well done. Not only was the burger excellent (a little beyond medium rare, but at least some heavy pink in the middle), but the bun and the lattice fry sides were all delicious! Unfortunately, I gave up alcohol for Lent...so didn't have a beer with the burger - but you can bet that I'll be back for both after Easter!

Mickey's is one of my favorite places to eat in Waukee. It's been there for years, the food is always good and the service is top notch. They've recently remodeled the patio and it's now got some heat for when the weather starts to cool off! Try the Hog Wild! read more

$4 hot chocolate with peppermint schnapps! Or many other different liquors. With a windchill of -30, how could you go wrong? Krissy was working the bar and she recommended the chipotle dip. This was excellent. She was busy but made sure she checked in. I thought she gave great service, despite wearing a Chiefs sweatshirt. The meat on the sandwich was fine, but I didn't think the cheese melted very well...and the bun didn't hold up well to the au jus. I'll give a different sandwich a go next time, but everything else was excellent. read more

The food is consistent and a good value. There hasn't been anything on the menu I didn't like. $7 burger night, Trivia and Kareoke are all a great reason to visit. Waiters are nice read more

Come here if you want no service and shitty food. There's so many other pubs to go to in the area and we will not make the mistake of going to this sh*t hole again. The staff are extremely rude and lazy read more

Never had anything bad to say about this place, from service to food to the atmosphere. Always my choice to come here

Loved the food. Love the atmosphere. The service was great. Honestly the best Ruben I've had around Des Moines. The corned beef was melt in your mouth delicious. My boyfriend got the Mac and cheese burger and said it was okay, he wanted it to be more sloppy and he said it was a little bland. read more

Excellent service, delicious food and bartenders who execute a perfect pour of Guinness!

Terrible service. When we came to the restaurant we asked when the boneless wing special began and the sauces available. Waitress said at 11:00 so at 11:00 we ordered two orders of boneless wings but were bought bone in wings, with one order overcooked and tough to eat and the second order soggy from the cooking oil. IWe then assumed that the bone in wings were actually the wings on special. The waitress then charged us full price at which point we told her that we thought the wings were on special and that she got the order incorrect and got the wrong wings. Upon on our request, she asked the manager if they would give us the special price and came back to the table and dropped off the bill and said nothing. Upon looking at the bill, they did not give us the special price. Waited for the waitress to come back at which time I said the bill was not adjusted and she said manager refused, Will never go back. read more

Mickey's food and wait staff are second to none!! We also love their patio! Great place to eat or just go to relax with some adult beverages!! read more

visiting waukee Iowa after Winona Judd conceet Thursday we stayed and visited mickeys Irish pub ! How fun! we had a great time doing karaoke and drinking will definitely return if we get back to waukee read more

Mickeys is my "Go-to" whenever a coworker wants to get a drink after work! The waitstaff are amazing and recognize me right away! They know I love the buffalo wontons and whatever drink is on special (there is always something). I love their patio but if it's too hot--the inside is just as inviting. It's not a deal to be alone or with a party of 10. They are always so happy and inviting! This place is like my deck at home---all are invited and everyone has a great time! read more

Great pub atmosphere. Attentive staff. Good food. Note that I'm rating against other bar/pubs. It's not gourmet, but it is affordable and food was well above average. My wife had the French dip. The meat was not over done. The bun was fresh. Au jus was tasty. Crinkle fries were crinkle fries. I had the Mrs Mickey Wrap. Meat was tender. Good ratio of meat to cheese to vegetables. We live really close and never think of this place, probably because a it wasn't great when we were here maybe 5-7 years ago. Now we will be back regularly. It was a very good experience. read more

edit: my friends and i have come to Mickeys for karaoke so many times and have loved it... until tonight. my friends and i were singled out for saying "fuck ku" during Mr. Brightside but people can freely sing WAP, Colt 45, etc. it's a bar for god sake. the "manager" ignored all other people saying "fuck ku" and proceeded to approach my friend while he was singing to say "you're banned from singing this song" LOL read more

Mickey's is amazing. I decided to have my birthday party here. I called a week before to see if they would allow me to bring a cake in and reserve seats. They reserved their "lounge area for me." The day of my party, they even called to make sure we were still coming in. Erica, our waitress was amazing. She made sure all my guests had drinks at all times. Great place for a party as well as every day drinking. read more

Love Mickeys! It is our go to hangout spot. Food is delicious (salads and tacos for sure) staff is very welcoming and it feels like family. I've attended many trivia and karaoke nights and everyone has a great time and mingles / cheers each other on. Couldn't recommend more! They also have great prices, is always clean, and plenty of N/A options! read more

Hot beef was spectacular. Sauce is reduced with Guinness and is more like a Demi glaze/gravy Burger was great; nothing to write home about but I wanted a plain cheeseburger with the usual LOTP and that's what I got. Crisp and hot crinkle fries. Their ranch dressing is awesome. Shrimp tacos were great, in the past I have not been impressed with their tacos but they were very tasty this time. Exterior was crispy, shrimp was plentiful, flavor was spot on, shell was soft but just a slight crunch. Happy bellies! read more

Friendly staff, good food, good ambiance. Quite a pleasant experience hsjajahajaoamsvsisksb

I have been visiting Mickeys for the last 8 years, since I originally moved to Waukee. The staff is awesome, the atmosphere is very inviting, and there are tons of ways to stay entertained. I highly recommend stopping in, whether You are having drinks with friends, dinner with family, or meeting for business reasons. Its a Waukee staple! If you're a Waukee resident, it should be added to your list of frequent stops. Year after year they give back to the community and are extremely involved with lifting up other businesses around them. Support a business that supports you back! read more

This is a great neighborhood bar, and I like the relaxed atmosphere. The food is really good and there are a variety of options so you aren't just stuck with "bar food". Not a great choice if you have dietary restrictions (ie gluten free, vegan). My one not good experience was when my food came out and was only partially cooked. I showed the waitress and she quickly took care of it and got new food cooked and brought out. So many places try to just reheat or finish cooking food, which doesn't normally work I was pleasantly surprised that they brought new, fully cooked food. read more

Nice small, quiet bar. Food is decent bar good, but it's on the spendy side. Today was a bit awkward, a larger female bar tender was more concerned with chatting up people vs. tending to her customers. Then, apparently she was leaving for the day and asked if I could close out my tab under her, as well as the guy across from me. Then she went on to state this is because she is only making $4 an hour. The whole experience was awkward. It seems to depend on what bartender you get, but today was definitely weird. read more

Service was not good. Bartender was doing inventory while there was a full bar for an Iowa game. Had to keep asking for food menu, beers and other things. We sat at the bar which should be easy to wait on customers. We won't be back read more

Fun , " Cheers" like atmosphere, the staff are fast friendly, great selection of bottle beers, and perfectly poured Guinness as it gets. Good food. Go give it a shot! Or have a shot! read more

Been coming here for 4 years, the people are friendly and welcoming, the atmosphere is comfortable and fun (especially during the summer) and they know how to pour Guinness correctly! For appetizers their fried mushrooms are good, as well as the jalapeño corn dip and spinach/artichoke dip. Burgers are popular entrees, and popular for people biking since it's not far from a trail. They've also got $5 32oz drafts on Mondays, and make for a decent place to watch college games read more

Won't be back. I had an older gift card I bought earlier. They wouldn't take it. They it didn't have the location indicated. They said it could be from anywhere. Bogus read more

Great food, drinks, and service! Tasha was our server and she was awesome. Highly recommend!
