    We waited 40 minutes at a fast food restaurant. We did and so did the other 15 customers. Unbelievable. Never eating here again.

    It's good food but I'm tired of getting hair in my food. One time I found lice in my potato oles.

    This was one of the best fast food places in town. Been going down hill for the past few months. Trying Taco Bell next.

    The in-house pico de gallo is delicious! The potato oles are a must, and I recommend the meat and potato burrito

    Try the Super Potato Ole's for about $5. Clean and crowded for lunch.

    The potato ole's were perfectly seasoned and crispy, and my burrito was definitely made with love.

    We found ourselves at Diamond Dave's on July 4th. One of the few places (not fast food) that were…read moreopen and not closing too early. I'd called to make sure they were open. The gentleman I spoke to on the the phone was friendly and let me know they were. We were greeted right away when we walked in and told to take a seat wherever we wanted to. Seating with mostly low top tables and booths. Our server (a woman my age...mid 50s maybe) popped over right away. Very personable and made sure we were finding everything okay. We started with a fountain drink and water, the jalapeno queso, and some jalapeno poppers. Heather had the ground beef chimichanga plate and I had the chicken alambre dinner. Now... I wouldn't necessarily call this Mexican food... Definitely Tex Mex. And that's okay...! I just don't want to give anyone the illusion that it's authentic Mexican. As if the Dave's in the name doesn't probably already do that... Lol What I will say is the food is very good. Big chunks of chicken, creamy cheese, chorizo, and bacon... My chicken alambre dinner... C'mon! There is nothing not to like there! The beans, rice, and salad were on point too. For what it is everything was great and cooked just the way it should be. The gem here though...was the staff! On a holiday... So great to their guests. We got in a conversation with our server and the gentleman working about the best place to see fireworks etc. if you don't like crowds. I'd worked in Muscatine back in the day, probably 25-30ish years ago, and obviously didn't remember much about the area... It was just a good conversation and still really stands out in my mind. There wasn't anything wrong with our food, but if there was, staff like this makes any mistake easy to forgive. Sometimes it's really more about the experience than it is about the food itself. Kudos! And thank you for being open for a couple of travelers who just needed to get out of the Des Moines metro for a couple of days...

    I come here for nostalgia mostly, but the food is yummy as well! We always get a macho nacho to…read moreshare. The staff are always friendly and we aren't ever left waiting.
