I'm so glad we stumbled upon Hot Off The Presses while passing through on our way to…read moreMinneapolis--this place is an absolute gem. We were just here a few weeks ago and I am so bummed to see they permanently closed!! We came during lunch and took advantage of their weekday lunch combo (Tues-Fri, 11am-2pm), which includes soup and a half grilled cheese. You can choose from the OG, Kick in the Cheese, or Fancy grilled cheese, plus either tomato basil bisque or the soup of the day. Honestly? A dream setup. I ordered the tomato basil bisque with a half OG grilled cheese, and wow... just wow. The soup was rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, and the grilled cheese delivered that classic, beautiful cheese pull moment you hope for (and rarely actually get). The cheese had the perfect amount of sharpness and subtle bitterness, balancing everything out so well without being overwhelming.. I seriously could go for one right now! Every bite was comforting and delicious, and I immediately wished I had ordered a full OG sandwich because it was that good. The combo was mouth‑watering, satisfying, and wildly exceeded expectations for a quick lunch stop.

The food came out hot and you could tell the ingredients were fresh. This is gourmet sandwiches on a budget! We got there right when they opened and stayed to eat our meal. There were at least 8 people who came in to order while we were there. I can tell it's a lunch favorite. We ordered Grilled Cheese of the Month Quesabirria and it was fantastic I would say it just needed more Consomé. We also ordered their Cuban sandwich and it was really good! This place is a classic hole in the wall but it was very clean!

The ambiance in this place is great. Lots of natural light and elements with fun pops of color. Plenty of seating. We ordered the breakfast burrito, Croque madame, and cereal milk latte. The breakfast burrito was drenched in delicious sauce and was a generous portion. The Croque madame was also exceptional. The milk bread really took it to the next level. Side salad was nice and fresh. The latte was also amazing, not too sweet, nice fresh espresso that wasn't over extracted. The servers were sweet and attentive. No notes! Overall, this was a breath of fresh air. Definitely deserves a try if you are in the area!

I travel constantly for work, and this place instantly reminded me of something you'd find in L.A. -- I genuinely forgot I was in Iowa. How does Waukee have a restaurant this good? I went with my fiancée, full of anticipation, and it completely lived up to the hype -- and then some. The breakfast sandwich was absolutely insane. I promise it tastes every bit as good as it looks. It's hands-down the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. I've eaten at incredible spots in Denver, LA, New York, and Chicago, and none of them compare to what's happening right here in Waukee, Iowa. Mine was the pork katsu with miso aioli -- life-changing. I seriously sat there afterward thinking, Where has this been my whole life? My fiancée ordered the dill sandwich, and it was equally phenomenal. The fries might be the best in all of Iowa. We kept looking at each other in disbelief that this level of food was in our own backyard. I finished my latte so fast I didn't even get a picture of it. If you're even thinking about going, just do it. This place is incredible -- easily the best spot in Iowa right now.

And we were so glad that we did! We ordered a combo 2 which came with wings. Chicken tenders, and 3 sides. Chose the soy garlic sauce and for the sides got the bulgogi fried rice, egg fried rice, and corn. One of the kiddos also wanted a Korean dog, so got one of those too. Everything was sooooo good!! The chicken wings and tenders were huge!! The chicken had the perfect crunch and the sauce was delicious. Service was very friendly and patient as we decided what to order. They greeted each person that walked in quickly and friendly. I loved that the restaurant has a sink to wash your hands before and after the meal right in the dining area! As I went back there to wash my hands, I noticed that they have a pay it forward area! Customers pre-purchase items and others in need can redeem them. Love that thought! Overall, loved the food and experience at Chickin Lickin! Will definitely go back next time we are in the area.

I remembered ordering a peanut butter chocolate shake that was delicious. So naturally, we had to make a pitstop. We are both a little surprised to see that Smokey Ros was part of a gas station, however, the gas station was very updated and the coffee shop itself was also very updated. Off to a good start so far. My husband ordered our chocolate peanut butter milk shakes. Choose surprise, they have never heard of a peanut butter chocolate milkshake! However, they did what they could and made us one. Sadly, they use chocolate ice cream and added peanut butter rather than doing the normal vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce, and peanut butter. They were a little too rich for our liking, but we really appreciated the effort. The baristas were very nice. All in all, a pretty good trip. Next time, if we come again, will make sure to let them know how to make the shakes to our liking.
