    We went to Boulder Tap House in Ankeny with a party of five and a half -- Kim and I, three of my…read morekids, and my one-month-old granddaughter. We sat at a high top with a bench, and it actually worked really well for having the baby with us. Drinks and waters came out efficiently, and our waitress was kind and courteous. The food did take a little while, but everything came out together, which I appreciate with a larger table. My fries were room temperature when they arrived, but they quickly replaced them with piping hot ones, so no real complaint there. Our table had a good mix: the Pulled Pork Sandwich for $12.99, Crispy Chicken Wrap for $14.99, Tequila Lime Chicken Tacos for $14.99, BTH Classic Smash Burger for $14.99, and a medium order of house-made boneless wings for $16.99. No one complained, which is usually a pretty good sign with our crew. The restaurant was clean, fairly busy, and all the staff we interacted with were friendly. Drink prices seemed reasonable too. We were also able to hang out and visit for quite a while without feeling rushed, which made it a really nice family stop. It is close to home, the food was good, and my daughter picked up the bill for Father's Day, so that made it taste even better. We will definitely be back.

    Food was good, service was amazing and it was very quiet, we were there on a Tuesday…read moreafternoon...the music was great!

Since then, I've tried multiple ways to resolve the issue. I contacted customer service through the app, but it was not helpful. I also called the phone number listed on my receipt, only to be directed back to the app's customer service, leaving me stuck in a loop with no resolution. I'm not upset that the restaurant had to close unexpectedly--things happen. My frustration is that there doesn't seem to be a clear process to refund customers when an order can't be fulfilled. Customers shouldn't have to spend days trying to recover money for food they never received. I hope Popeyes improves both its communication and its customer service process so situations like this can be resolved quickly. As of today, I'm still waiting for my refund. Please tell me how to go about getting my money refunded. I spent over $45.

Its setup is very dated, you can tell whoever owns it has no pride and doesn't want to spend any money on the decor. Also, they dont care about the setting the environment for example; we went this past Wednesday night and at 10pm every light was still on full blast. Anyone with any bar knowledge knows that this has a negative effect on bar sales. Food took about 45 minutes to come out ( we ordered at 7:30) and they weren't busy, I actually did a table count. Including us three other tables. Two couples and what looked like a mom, pop with a child who came in long after we did. Our table was 3 adults. I ordered medium boneless wings with sauce. I got medium bone in wings dry rub. I was too hungry to care at that point. My friend order a cheeseburger and got some black bean burger thing. After waiting so long for food, you would expect it to be right. Our server was nice, can't blame him. Sadly this is standard for thos location. I tired to talk my friend out of going, but she didnt think it would he that bad. As we left she said she definitely wont go back. The vibe here is always wrong. When we go to other locations it's a completely different feeling and vibe. The other locations feel cleaner, they look and feel like a bar / eatery. This location always feels like a pit stop.

    ALWAYS FORGET SAUCES ON TO GO ORDER. I have never left a bad review for any food restaurant ever in…read moremy life but I literally downloaded yelp just to write this review, I go to Buffalo Wild Wings frequently (usually 2-3 times a month) and I'm not kidding when I say they have NOT ONCE gotten all of my sauces on the order. Every single time without fail they forget 2-3 sauces, and they are $0.60 a piece... It's definitely starting to seem purposeful and scammy because how is it possible to forget multiple sauces every single time! I know they get busy on Thursday nights because of the BOGO deal which is why i've cut them slack for months, but after having over 10+ times where this has happened EVERY single time, something had to be said. Edit: We had to go back in to get the rest of the sauces and they literally gave us the wrong buffalo. None of the sauces had stickers to differentiate them so I couldn't tell. Honestly so done with this place.

We found our seat and were immediately greeted by a new server Rylie she was super sweet and gave us time to go over the menu. She did let us know she was new which was good because if we had questions that she didn't know she was willing to find out. Our drinks came quickly and were cold. Our food was good and fresh. The waitress came back multiple times to check on us. I have read some rather mean reviews on this restaurant and I do have to say people should understand how long these servers and cooks have to work. Some of them are pulling 12 hour shifts. Be patient, it seems they are trying to fix some of the previous issues. Again I will reiterate our service was great. The ambiance was like a pub with clean tables and the restrooms were clean as well. We will be back.

    Where do I begin…read more.. My family and I wanted to try something new for dinner and landed on Whiskey River. We got to choose our tables and saw the sign right away that we may have more than one server. First waitress ordered our drinks and took 15 MINUTES to get and one drink was a canned beverage! She seemed ditzy and confused on what drinks were even being ordered. Once we did get the drinks they were warm! Who wants to drink a warm draft or canned beer?? We get our warm drinks and she walked away without asking if we were ready to order. So now we are sitting there for 15 more minutes waiting to order our dinner and appetizers. Meanwhile, our waitress is making eye contact and doing miscellaneous things and isn't taking our order AND THEN SHE GOES HOME FOR THE NIGHT! Couldn't even be bothered to take our orders or ask how our drinks are before she leaves. A big table has been sitting beside us for a little bit, and I notice her point to their table and she told another server to take care of them so now they are getting their drinks fast and food ordered before us and we were there for 30 minutes already waiting for us to order. By this point, our drinks are empty and no one has noticed or talked to us. We are clearly wanting to order and other servers and people behind the bar are noticing us and looking at us. FINALLY a server for a booth talked to us and we decided to leave. Now she only stopped because we kept looking at her otherwise we would still be sitting there waiting till this day. A lot of young girl waitresses who only care about talking to each other instead of doing their jobs properly. So much for you will experience different waiters because we could've even have half of one...

For an appetizer we ordered the onion rings. They are shoestring rings which are my boyfriend's favorite and he loved these. His only complaint was that they needed more salt, but there was some at the table so he just added his own. The ranch that comes with them is also very good. For pizza, we split the Northsider and thought it was delicious. The pepperoni they have is so good. I'm not sure where they are getting it, but it's my favorite pepperoni. To us, it seemed a little pricey for pizza, but it was so delicious we thought it was worth it. We typically don't eat all our leftover pizza, but there was not a single slice left over. The service is wonderful and they even let us know ahead of time that pizza was running a little longer when we ordered which didn't bother us, but it was appreciated they told us. They even box your leftovers up which is so appreciated. Everyone was kind, the pizza was 10/10, and the drinks were cold. We will be back!

The soup came out piping hot and very cheesy as I would expect. The broth and onions were good with the rye croutons they use adding slight mushroom-flavored undertones. I also got a side salad which paired well & made for a tasty lunch. I'll certainly be back to try some of their other menu items!

Between us we had cheese toastie, prime rib dip, and a Reuben sandwiches. The meat on both the prime rib and Reuben was succulent and tender, and none of us could finish them. The house curly fries were perfectly seasoned and delish. The rest of the menu looks great, and I hope to be back next time I'm in town.

Huge bar, but not a ton of seating. Large parking lot. There is no area to wait and there will be a wait if you don't have a reservation. We waited about 25 minutes for a table without a reservation. Clean bathrooms. Service: Super friendly staff that were rolling with the punches as it was absolutely packed. Food: OH MY GOD. So good, so so soooooo good. The food here honestly reminded me of my time in Ireland, this is the closet I've got to that level of amazingness without actually being there. Even the brown bread reminded me of many meals in County Clare. I forgot to take a photo of the corned beef and cabbage and potatoes but I will never forget them. Perfectly tender, and seasoned. I will dream about this place and hope that some day I end up back in Iowa.
