Chenece ErwinAugust 29, 2015I so love this place. I came here for my birthday dinner with a friend and I love this place. The atmosphere was great along with the food and service.- Juice MagazineMarch 19, 2013Get ready for a specially made grilled cheese. Choose from tons of cheeses and toppings like sauerkraut, bacon and even spicy Cheetos. And don’t forget to pick up a cup of tomato soup for dunking. Read more
Kelli RobertsMay 7, 2018Best Sunday brunch hands down. From the mashed potato bar to the taco bar to the grilled cheese station you can’t go wrong. They also have a whole room of standard breakfast fare. It is worth the $30!
Pan-seared chicken with Parmesan cream sauce is to die for. Large portion- you can split it with someone. Also try the chocolate torte for dessert. Absolutely amazing!- Happy hour until 6 every weekday... Brunch buffet with Bloodies and mimosas on the weekends... The food... The atmosphere... The STAFF ROCKS! Can you tell I really like this place? Highly recommended!
- Juice MagazineFebruary 29, 2012Coming for brunch? Expect a short wait or make a reservation for this bustling buffet brunch. Try the grilled cheese bar and $14 bottomless bloody mary or mimosas http://dmreg.co/weNg9z Read more
Nicole WatermanJuly 3, 2013Katelin is the greatest Server here. Ask for her and she will make sure ur happy all the way through ur meal! She is the best server I have had here! :)
Granddaughter loves their Mac and Cheese but we always order an extra plate to cool it down from the bowl it comes in. And she loves the Birthday Cake for dessert
Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner, all you can eat buttermilk fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and biscuits. Every Monday night. Not something to miss out on.
Seared tuna salad is wonderful. Just a hint of wasabi and a sweet soy combo dressing. The tuna was light and VERY fresh! Must have again.
Winner winner chicken dinner all you can eat Monday night was fantastic!! Can't wait to go back!!
Larry Robinson SrJanuary 27, 2016Their seared tuna and their hamburgers are both great; choose either and you won't go wrong!
Brunch on the weekends...all you can eat and unlimited mimosas or bloody marys for $25.
GurlMJanuary 19, 2014Love the strawberry bitch martini and the brownie Bacon sundae... Not together! Also try the crab rangoon appetizer.
The giant mural of the cars is a photo taken in the same space as Americana. It was taken in 1937 when the space was a car dealership.
The hoisin BBQ is amazing, get a side with just about anything on the menu, especially if it has pineapple (or just spread on the grilled pineapple side)
Amy YinOctober 27, 2012Brunch with an unlimited Mimosa or Bloody Mary bar until 2:30! Make sure to make reservations if you have a larger party.
Joe GizziSeptember 20, 2014Great menu - hard to choose one thing. Gnocchi was spicy & delicious and enjoyed a Moscow Mule.
Grilled cheese bar at Bombshell Breakfast..yum! It may seem boring, but the Americana burger is my favorite.
Oscar de la Americana is fantastic. 8oz filet with crab meat, asparagus hash, Cheddar mashed potatoes and a brown butter holindaise sauce.
Chase JohnsonOctober 17, 2014Modern restaurant great for all types of people, Des Moines needs more places like this!!
Peter NovoselApril 3, 2013Great happy hour prices - the red blend they have by the glass is good, and try the roasted artichoke app
Malynda RumbaughNovember 24, 2013Awesome owner awesome staff appreciate & acknowledge the wait staff for all they do.
Professor at SimpsonJuly 20, 2015Very tasty shrimp and grits; not sure if it's available year round.
Candy GuhlOctober 13, 2013Ordered Truffled Mac and Cheese and Roasted Chicken with Mashed Potatoes... I will return!
Design by the GlassNovember 4, 2011The Sebastiani Merlot is delicious (and pretty strong). The brie appetizer is awesome too! #wine #J120
The Thai Tacos .....are......so good! Can't go wild with either meat.- Winner, winner, chicken dinner every Monday night. All you can eat buttermilk fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and biscuits.
The tiki burger is amazing! They also give you a complimentary mini cake on your birthday!
Scott LudwickDecember 27, 2013The photo on the wall was the taken just days before the famed "massacre" of 1937 Pope Leo IV had just declared sodomy legal. Outraged farmers stormed the local papal college killing 73 scribes inside
Nathan EricksonMay 6, 2013Make sure to try the Monday night special! All you can eat fried chicken, plus all the fixings!
Tera SorensenSeptember 9, 2018The bottomless bloody marys and mimosas are great. The food on the buffet is ok but nothing special.
Best damn burger in town. And don't pass up the sundae if you still have room for dessert.
RobertoAugust 21, 2013The wine list prices are severely overpriced!!! $22 for Rex Goliath wine lol omg. It is $4.99 at HyVee.
Libby CrimmingsMay 27, 2011Soup was amazing but curry was a bit disappointing (too heavy sauce but no spice/flavor). Nice atmosphere, great service, will come back!
Steph FergusonMay 30, 2011love the drinks, amazing paninis and great atmosphere. everyone is super friendly and nice
Best bar/restaurant to enjoy a signature drink and watch the snow fall over Des Moines.
Artichoke hearts app is incredible. Get a group together and reserve the table facing Locust.
Jeffrey ThompsonJune 24, 2011They took the veggie burger off the menu to accommodate a "simpler" menu for the art festival?: LAME!!!
Fried ravioli is amazing. Amazing go to 'tapa' to start off the meal.
We must not be as big of "bombshells" as we thought. We have been moved to the bar stockroom.
