Veg pizza with vegan and regular cheese
Rupali K.

Bid space indoor and outdoor. They allow dogs on the patio. Service was good. I have ordered Detroit style vegetarian pizza with vegan and regular cheese. Vegan cheese was not good. I have tried vegan cheese lots of places, but this was not melted and had consistency of dip. Pizza was not even warm. The regular cheese was ok. I ordered ginger mocktal, which was refreshing.

Great happy hour! If you like Detroit style this place is legit. Service was friendly and food came out hot and delicious.

Breakfast Pizza
Carrie J.

Wow! Just wow! Or better stated Yum! Just yum! I have enjoyed pizza and apps here as they have great happy hour specials and the pizza is amazing. In looking for a brunch site we discovered the Parlor offers this Friday- Sunday. We made a reservation for a party of 6 and sat at high tops with access to TVs. There is a nice bar but coffee and juice sufficed today although signature drinks were definitely tempting. We shared a skillet cinnamon roll and it was delicious. I have been missing Little Brother's but this actually is a fantastic replacement- just a scoop of butter on top and the warm, gooey cinnamon roll has the perfect sauce on the bottom to scoop up bites with. Our meals were so so good- breakfast burrito was stuffed, potatoes perfectly crisp and seasoned. Breakfast scrambles - get the sausage- so good! Eggs were a bit overcooked for my taste so ordering again I would ask for soft scramble. My men ordered biscuits and gravy which disappeared quickly. All meals came with two large pieces of sourdough toast lightly buttered- choices of blackberry, strawberry or pineapple. Ironically the only picture I took of food was from other guests- the breakfast pizza. Next level- and definitely will order next time to share! We had friendly and attentive service and our server catered to unusual requests - buttermilk with salt and pepper. 11/10!

Slice of walkin the line

The Parlor continues to be our go to neighborhood spot for happy hour. A little bummed their prices went up, but honestly we have been anticipating it based on how expensive it is to go out to eat anywhere. The happy pizza deal is still a value for slices (which is actually a 1/4 of their pie). And now you can select from any pizza on the menu (it used to be a limited selection). They also are offering full pizza for $15 as a special. We always sit at the bar and love that we have become regular enough that they know us and give us great service!

It was our 1st time here and it was super positive. The server was super knowledgeable and attentive. We order a toasted focaccia appetizer and a house salad to split and both were tasty. We happened to arrive during happy hour one of use ordered the slices so they could try different pizza flavors I order a pizza of just one flavor and I would have to say that my dining companion was the winner... It is Detroit pizza and it is very authentic. You should check the place out because the food is great and the service is outstanding and the added bonus it is local! Support local y'all!

Forgot to take pic of food. Cute atmosphere.

First time at Parlor and did breakfast. Super good. Literally no complaints. Great quality breakfast. Huge, fluffy and buttery pancakes. Omelette came with the best potatoes. And definitely the toast must be pan fried to finish. And homemade preserves. Service was excellent. Feel like a hidden secret they do brunch. Definitely coming back for pizza and beers next time.

My favorite pizza place in DSM. Happy hours has great deals. Pizza and sangria is amazing. And the BEST service every time we come.

Bacon Wrapped Dates
Jasmine T.

Overall a great spot in the Des Moines area! We came in on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't very busy, so we were able to get seated right away. We ordered the bacon wrapped dates as an appetizer which were wonderful, and for our pizza we did a half and half pizza with the Sweet Jane and I Shot the Sheriff. I slightly preferred the Sweet Jane, but both were very good. Portions are generous and the pizza itself doesn't feel too heavy. It almost feels like a nice focaccia bread with good cheese and toppings, so not as greasy as your typical pizza. It is Detroit style pizza, which if you've never had that, it's typically a square and has a thicker crust (which means you get these wonderful crispy cheese bits at the corner). I would return in a heartbeat and you should absolutely visit!

Current menu 9/2/2022

I've now been here three times in a matter of months. My favorites include the I Shot The Sheriff and a vegan combo that has both house made vegan cheese and vegan chorizo! The pizza is my favorite but I've also enjoyed the humus platter and the Chickpea Fritters. The ambiance is casuals and family friendly but you could absolutely take a date. The beer, wine, and cocktail list are much better than you would expect given the price point and style. I also liked the non-alcoholic options. The service is friendly but not overbearing and the timing of everything coming out of the kitchen is spot on. I'm definitely a fan!

Detroit style deep dish pizza that has nice and crispy edges. They also recently began doing brunch on the weekends which was pretty good.

Probably one of the best restaurants in Des Moines. Good service, excellent cocktails and you don't have to drive 14 hours for good pizza.

Is Parlor kid-friendly? I have an extremely picky niece and I was wondering if they had a childrens' menu. Thank you!

They sure are, make sure to ask for a kids menu as they are separate from the main menu.

The Ultimate Stop for Bikes, Beer & Bites…read more After a day of biking, we made it back to El Bait Shop with some friends. This place is a solid choice, whether you're in the mood for the world's biggest selection of tap beers or some fantastic gastropub and comfort food from the lounge next door. We love it here because we can park our bikes in the provided area off the patio and still keep an eye on them. The outdoor service area is semi-shaded and the service is just as good as you'd get inside. As a beer lover, I can tell you the selection is ridiculous and expansive. If you want it, they probably have it, and from four or five different breweries at that! The menu is also loaded, with choices from both El Bait Shop and the High Life Lounge. Today, our food order was as impressive as the beer list. While I can't recall all the beers we had, the food included a Prime Rib Sandwich with tots ($14.99), the Pizza Burger also with tots ($11.99), the Philly Style Pot Roast Sandwich with a side of potato salad, and a massive bowl of Macaroni and Cheese ($11.99). We were starving after our ride, but that didn't change the fact that the food was all delicious, well-prepared, and served by our very attentive waiter, Kyle???, May. No one had any complaints, and the beer was cold and on time! Overall, we love the eclectic vibe of this place. Its downtown location gives you some great views, and more importantly, you're within walking distance of almost everything downtown Des Moines has to offer. This is a go-to spot for me, and I love taking first-time visitors here because it's so unique and the quality of both the service and the food is always on point. Oh, and did I mention the beer selection is completely insane? If you haven't been here yet, you are missing out, and you don't even know it. PRO TIP: Come here, and before you leave, slip over to the High Life Lounge for a throwback moment. Next time, start there and slip over here for a beer!

Wow this is not a dive bar, no matter who calls it that…read more We came in for a bite to eat and a beer while passing through Des Moines based on Yelp reviews. Had a sour with three fruit flavors that was lovely, and lunch of broasted chicken and beef stroganoff. The beef was surprisingly tender. Friendly service. Highly recommend this place!

We came here on Wednesday and shown a table right away…read more Since I like to try local beers when traveling, I ordered a Pseudo Sue Pale Ale. Pale ales are usually not my choice but it was worth a try. I ended up ordering 3 before we left. For food each ordered 2 tacos each a la carte. I ordered one grilled shrimp taco and one blackened chicken taco. My friend ordered one fish taco and shrimp taco. We ordered 1/2 order of the jumbo pretzel appetizer which came with one jumbo pretzel, queso, and nacho chips. The queso had a good amount of heat. The pretzel was soft and not too much salt. Our server was professional and friendly

Breakfast at the Beaver Tap…read more Walked in for a late breakfast on Sunday. Met a girlfriend to enjoy some breakfast. Tables were almost full. Bar was busy too. We snagged a spot near the back. The waiter was quick to take our drink requests. He came back soon and I asked his recommendations. He sold me on a omelet and my girlfriend got french toast My girlfriend sold me on the Taps potatoes. I haven't had potatoes like that. Almost cut like potatoes chip but then fluffy and fried. Not over crunchy and not to heavy. The make to order omelet was good to. For some reason they left the bacon out but I just tossed it on top with the avacado I was craving. The TVs were on but not to loud yet. There was some football playing later in the afternoon but it wasn't game time yet Music played as we sat and chatted. The food was good. My friend really liked her French toast and black tea. I'm glad I made it out for breakfast. The staff was friendly the whole time. Completely affordable breakfast for us two ladies. I think I want to come back and do this again.
