The Chilly Billy (like a DQ blizzard) was superb! Lots of crushed Heath bar mixed throughout. Great ice cream. The red raspberry sundae was also great.

We got tired of the regular places in our town, so we drove to the next town and found this place…read more Very unassuming on the exterior, but warm and inviting inside. It has kind of a Wisconsin bar feel. Country music playing on one tv, hunting shows on another. The walls are covered with fun signs and memorabilia. Everyone who works here is extremely friendly and pleasant to chat with. And they have fun! Every Friday they have a Features menu. I'm told it always has prime rib and some kind of fish special, and some kind of chicken special. I saw someone with the prime rib...it looked amazing. We had the jalapeño moz sticks. They were really good. A touch of heat with great jalapeño flavor. The pork tenderloin sandwich was good, not greasy at all. The last thing we had was the Chislic...deep fried cubes of meat. Again, not greasy at all. A bit salty tho. But good, and more importantly, something different. The bar setup and offerings are pretty good. Prices are good. I'm super excited we found this place and will be back to try the prime rib.

Was served right away and got our drink orders and food. Onion rings were recommended. Very good and thin and crispy. Had to try the bison quesadillas because it's different. It was ground bison. I loved the fresh bell peppers. Not too much different from ground beef. They weren't burnt, although the pic looks way brown. Decent overall. Staff was busy, but attentive. Kept our drinks full and checked on us throughout. Fun little stop if you're in the area. Very decently priced!!! Especially drinks. Love the small town prices.

We went at a weird time, around 3 PM so not rush hour and the service was super slow. There was only one other group there at the time, but we waited about an hour and a half and barely saw our server. They had fun Moscow mule flights that my friend and I were excited to try, but we never got a chance to order them since no one came back to our table until the very end, which was kind of a bummer. The food was decent, nothing amazing. Overall, it feels like a chill neighborhood hangout for when you don't have anywhere to be. But if you're looking for something a little more efficient, this probably isn't your spot.

I love the unique triangular-shaped corner the business is situated on, the wide selection of ice cream treats - and the reasonable prices! My wife and I ended up sharing an Extreme Reese's Sundae (see picture) and our neighbors went with the Peanut Parfait. Both of them were delicious, just the right size and only $5 each. If you find yourself northwest of the Des Moines metro or biking through Dallas Center on the bike path (right next to the building), you will definitely want to stop for a treat!

Just a short drive West of the metro right along the bike trail in Dallas Center you will find The…read moreHandlebar. Executive Chef/Managing Partner Jenny Symonds took over The Handlebar back in April I think and she brought her experience and a new menu with her. Being a little bit of a foodie I've followed Jenny through four previous steps in her career...so it was only a matter of time until I made it down to The Handlebar. Pulling in The Handlebar has an almost country market look to the property rather than a restaurant. It's cute. A HUGE parking lot, a large patio, and accommodations for bicycles. The decor inside is tasteful and modern. The dining area looked clean. Darn near spotless. A hostess greets you as you walk in and seats you. Along with a lunch and dinner menu they also offer a full bar. Seating inside is low top table and chairs and a bar and bar stools. A server both takes your order and presents you with your bill at the table. The menus aren't overwhelming but still cover all the bases (apps, sandwiches, other entrees, pizza, etc.). Comfort food to a few Asian spin/fusion dishes that I've come to expect on one of Jenny's menus. Today I ordered the bike tire tenderloin with a side of cucumber salad and a soda (Coke products) for dine-in and an order of the raspberry cheesecake egg rolls to go. Steve Roberts has a very good tenderloin just down the road in Redfield (Dexfield Diner & Pub). He has some BPT competition here...! The Handlebar's tenderloin is a little thinner but bigger around... There's a reason they call it the bike tire... They offer a second bun at no extra charge. Served burn your mouth hot and still steaming. Drained properly. Absolutely no residual grease to ruin the experience. I saw quite a few of them walked by me by staff today; you can tell it's a popular item. Both great tenderloins! And if you like tenderloins you should try one of each... Courtney was my server today and she did an excellent job from start to finish! I was surprised to see the amount of staff on site on a Sunday. There were at least four servers...maybe five and Chef Ryan was in the back. Evidently they haven't heard about the staffing shortage other places are having. Just kidding...! I'm sure they have...it's just not something they seem to be struggling with right now. The cucumber salad was cold and fresh. A nice break in between bites of the tenderloin. I wish the portion of the salad had been just a little bigger. I grew up in a town like Dallas Center, Actually quite a bit smaller than Dallas Center...but the same demographic of people (minus the bicycling community). A Casey's, a small downtown, and a smattering of businesses, and no stop lights. I was a little bit worried for The Handlebar venture with the changes Jenny might bring. Would she be able to please both the newer generation and maintain the older regulars? Yeah...I overthink things sometimes. I could tell by looking around today that it appears she has been successful with both. Older gentlemen (probably farmers taking a break from harvest) enjoying a Sunday meal by themselves and some with their family. Bicyclists both on the patio and dining inside... Dallas Center is a nice little community and especially pretty right now with it being Fall. I'd love to tell you those raspberry cheesecake egg rolls made it back to Clive...but with all transparency they only made it down a couple of side streets and around the city park. They are amazing! I've had them before. They were on one of Jenny's previous menus... Feel like getting out of the Des Moines metro for dinner? Enjoy the Fall colors and make the drive down to Dallas Center and check out The Handlebar! I know I'll be going back! That hot beef stack on the dinner menu... The picture of it on their Facebook page sure screams... OMG! Like and check out their Facebook page for hours, additional details, etc. https://www.facebook.com/thehandlebardc/
