Wahlburgers - Des Moines

I enjoyed a delicious chicken burger that was just the right size—not too big and not too small. It was served with a generous portion of fries, which was a nice addition. I added Swiss cheese to my burger, and it really enhanced the flavor! I paired it with a Des Moines IPA, and it turned out to be the perfect match. The service was outstanding; it felt just like being at home.

My experience was just alright, and I felt a bit let down since it was my first time visiting. I ordered a burger and sweet potato tater tots. The burger was fairly ordinary, and the tater tots were excessively sweet, almost like they had sugar added to them.

When we arrived and took a seat, the staff greeted us with silence, only staring without offering any assistance. There was a sign at the entrance instructing us to "please seat yourself," but unfortunately, all the booths were dirty, which was quite disappointing. Additionally, I was troubled to see a cleaning rag and spray bottle left out in the open for anyone to use; it felt unsafe and uncomfortable to watch staff walk by with the spray bottle repeatedly without addressing the mess. Overall, I left feeling very disappointed with our experience.

We were in town for a couple nights and we are very happy we stopped in. The food was amazing! However, the bartender was not wanting to be there. She constantly reminded us she is leaving at 9pm and not a second later. She was nice but not good for repeat business.

After watching the t.v. shows on A&E for many years and wondering what the food is like and it was very good. Little on the pricey side but that was to be expected from a famous restaurant chain like Wahlburgers. The burger was good, and the fries come in a wire basket. Never had fries served to me like that. Picked up a hat and shirt for souvenirs. Don't know when l will go to a Wahlburgers again but I'm going to try another burger and give a review. Go to a Wahlburgers and try for yourself.
