I'll cut to the chase with just a list of the dishes that we thoroughly enjoyed (all of which have pictures attached below): Homemade Pop'd Hearts (x2), Traditional and Turkey with Avocado Friends with Benedicts , Gimme Meats - Omelet and Biscuits & Gravy! As I hope the pictures portray, these were all very good and we would highly recommend all of them! You won't go wrong with a stop here for Breakfast or Lunch. I would recommend that you make a reservation though, as they are very busy. If you found this review helpful, please show your appreciation with a Like or a Follow.

As has been the case on each of our visits, the food and atmosphere were off the charts. The service wasn't quite as prompt this morning as what I've become accustomed to, but the experience was still great. Best of all...I saw that they now have a daily Happy ("Flocktail") Hour everyday before they close - and it is a 50% Off special - so now I can add them to HappyHourDesMoines.com also!! Today, my wife ordered the Chicken Fried Steak and a Bloody Mary (see pictures) - and with all of the new items on the menu, our friend ordered the Smoked Corn Beef Hash (see picture) and I went with the Healthy Hatch Tacos (see picture). I swapped one of my tacos with our friend for 1/2 of his hash, sampled my wife's Chicken Fried Steak - and can assure you that you will NOT go wrong ordering any of them, as all were absolutely delicious!

I will absolutely be back.

They have vegan and gluten free options so everyone will find something to eat. Even my kids enjoy it here. Had the Guilt Free B&G. Comes with vegan biscuits and gravy. I ordered Just Egg with it too. It was perfect! Savory and delicious. Mr W ordered the Chicken cordon bleu breakfast and he loved it. The latte was just right as well. They had a whole list of mimosas and flights of alcohol drinks for brunch. Environment was nice and not too loud. Love the 80s theme. It felt like we time traveled into the past. Service was ok. Our server was busy but he was fine. Easy pay right at the table, didn't have to wait for a check and receipt. Our breakfast was $44.cx before gratuity. Would come back again and highly recommend

Breakfast club Because I travel so much. I'm always on the…read morelook for a really good breakfast venue, this fit that description. Remember it's not about food only, It's also about expectations, everyone is under staffed, so I always appreciate the service staff who are working. I also appreciate how difficult it is to find good cooks. It's in a strip mall area so parking was plentiful but I could tell that it would fill up fast as it seemed to be one busy place. Even though this restaurant is very nouveau, I've been to such places in other cities and had great experiences as well as with the classic diners. I'm a little fussy about my eggs and really rely on the service people, to be honest and have integrity about the quality of the chef who's working Most dishes are served with eggs, over easy at this restaurant and I don't really like my eggs, served that way and asked if it could be with a white cooked and yolk, soft. I said, if the cook isn't really that proficient with that, I would just take my eggs scrambled. They said it shouldn't be a problem. But when the eggs came out, they were runny, like over-easy. I was disappointed.They couldn't have just been honest with me and said you probably should get your eggs scrambled I always like to support a local venue even if its a local franchise. Having a so, so or "Meh" experience with the food. The service was fast and efficient and the food came along quickly. They serve breakfast and brunch. With the focus on mixed drinks. I probably will give them a second chance. And not order a dish that has eggs. Maybe french toast or scrambled eggs if it has eggs. I'm also a coffee person and the coffee didn't appeal to me.

I used to enjoy eating here, until today and it's been a while since I've been here…read more What a difference :( The food was awful; the service was a joke. I ate may be four bites spoke to the waitress about the quality, and she replied snooty "oh, you don't like butter" No, I do but not biscuits coted in butter for biscuits and gravy. After four bites, tasting all four to see if they all tasted the same, they did. I asked for a pancake instead, she informed me that they would not take it off my bill... I would understand if I had eaten half but literally four small bites. The waitress was a total SNOT replying with 'I don't cook the food'. No, I didn't say that you did, you could have at least said I'm sorry, instead of acting like a spoiled brat. Too bad their food at one time was good, now I will NEVER go back! I would advise you to think twice!

The host worked to get everyone seated as quickly as he could. A server was at the table almost immediately for our drink order, and they were served in no time. There is quite a selection of breakfast and lunch items to choose from, and I settled on The Classic. I really liked the option for a small cake instead of toast, and I enjoyed that tremendously! The ham steak was thick, juicy, and flavorful, and the eggs were scrambled perfectly. The hash browns were a little bland, and I would rather have had an option for breakfast potatoes instead. But the meal was good and reasonably priced for the portions. For those who like coffee, there is a wide selection of options. The place is cozy inside with warm colors and all of the workers were extremely friendly in their interactions with customer. I felt very welcome and the table was well taken care of throughout the meal. The restaurant itself is nestled in a strip mall off the main street, so it isn't something I would know was there if I were just driving by. But now that I know it is here, I will definitely make a return trip to try additional items on the menu that caught my attention (I'm looking at you apple and blueberry bread, cinnamon rolls, and crake!)

4.2* (out of 5) Food: 3* Atmosphere: 4* Value: 5*…read more Service: 4* Would I go back / Recommend?: 5* (Definitely) Total check/person: $25 10/02/2026 Stopped last night for the sole purpose of checking out their newly announced Happy Hour, as the information on my sister site HappyHourDesMoines.com was getting a bit dated. Since it was Happy Hour pricing (app. 1/3 off the items we checked), the Value bumps to a 5* for this trip. All things considered, I like Barn Town Brewing and really like a few of their beers - not to mention, they are close to home. Because we were here for a Happy Hour review, we ordered only from their Happy Hour menu (all of which have pictures included below). My wife started with an amber Core beer, while I chose the Featured Flight - since it included several of their beers that I hadn't yet sampled. For our meal, we ordered the Bavarian Pretzels (see picture), Crab Rangoon Flatbread (see picture) and Wings, split between Buffalo & Honey Hot (see picture). The Pretzels are just what you would expect and the combination of mustard and cheese dipping sauces were a great complement. The wings were also tasty, although several admittedly appeared to come from a pretty deformed chicken. The flatbread would be the only thing I wouldn't order again. I expect very thin to cracker type crusts for flatbread and this was more of a thick / deep dish pizza type of crust (the picture shows it, about 1/2" thick). Further, the sauces / topping were a bit sparce - so it was quite bready and dry. If you found this review helpful, please show your appreciation with a Like or a Follow.

Good service and creative beers, especially in the sour and sugary spectrum. The unfortunate part…read moreis that some of those beers are TOO sugary that it doesn't taste/feel like beer anymore. I had experienced Barn Town at a beer festival and researched them before visiting town, so I know the experimental candy-influenced collabs are kind of their thing. The PB and Grape Jelly sour was nice and the Watermelon Sour Batch Buddies was the best of the State Fair themed bunch. Everything else packed too much of a flavor punch for me... to the point of upsetting my stomach which NEVER happens when I drink beer. I would actually go back and try some of their flagship (normal) beer offerings and food specials to get a more well rounded opinion of the brewpub.

This was an awesome gesture on their part and a great excuse for me to join a military veteran for lunch and thank him for his service. Given the free meal for him...that drove my Value rating to 5*, which enabled a very rare 5* rating overall! As with every meal at Firebirds, we were also treated to the fresh out of the oven loaf of dinner bread that is oh, so good with butter melted into it! Today I enjoyed Fish Tacos (see picture) and boy, were they delicious! Based on the weigh-in the following morning, the salt content might have been part of the reason for the great flavor...but it was worth it.
