Came in. I was the only one here at 11:40am on a Saturday. Ordered a chicken gyro and cheese…read moresticks Got the cheese sticks and they were not hot to the touch. But into one and the middle was frozen. Took them to the counter and asked to have the redone. They microwaved them. I know this because then they handed them back to me the cheese melted out of all of them and I specifically asked "were they microwaved???" And they said yes. So I said I don't want them. The lady at the counter said they could remake them I think they just remade the one I had taken a bite of l. Couldn't pick them up. They were too soft and falling apart, and they were stuck to the bottom of the paper boat by all the cheese that had melted out Pretty sure it was still the microwaved ones. If it were busy I would be more understanding of the lazy shortcut. But I was the only person here! The cooks are that lazy? Zero care for quality? You literally need a fork to eat these cheese blobs that can't be picked up and the breading just falls off. The kitchen staff is incredibly disappointing and it's sad that this type of quality is allowed.

Of course many have selective taste and the spices used as well as custom play a huge role. The greeting was friendly and upbeat. The surround decor was clean and mod with character. Parking was easy spacious and plentiful in with a wrap around drive thru. At issue is the price $$ for a batter dipped piece of chicken or crab Rangoon that was a tad salty, but flavorful. Would I take a road trip for another taste of what I can find in the Des Moines area probably not, but you may want to give it a try.

I made it to Smashburger a little after 9:30pm and ordered Hot Chicken Tenders and Smash Fries at the counter. Unfortunately they don't make shakes after 9:30pm so I was out of luck there. Still got a soda for free because of that, which was sweet of them. Overall the staff members were SO nice, which was refreshing after dealing with a bunch of incompetent agents at DSM. I might have ordered one too many chicken tenders, but it was just what I needed to get my mood back in check.
