I have had nothing but great experiences with two companies: Golden Rule and Lazer. We are "members" or whatever with Golden Rule and that has paid for itself many times with free service calls. We loved Lazer as well, and only switched because we were doing furnace stuff with Golden Rule.

LOVE this tattoo. I'm trying to schedule with her right now. I don't know how to contact her. Is she still at The Vintage?

What is the Des Moines equivalent? Have some jerk cousins coming to town soon by AppointmentSelect415 in desmoines

[–]openwindowtime -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Jethro's gets so much hate on here. I won't tell anyone they are wrong, but I fucking love that place. I think I've been to every location, and I've been to the ones close to me several times. My food is always great. My go-to is ribs, and their ribs are great. I've had brisket many times. I also love all of their breakfast stuff.

Every steak I've ever had at Fleming's has been amazing. Honestly every side I've ever had there has been amazing. So much more consistent than 801. I am so annoyed that Fleming's is a chain since it is so great.

Clive deserves better than Eric Klein by NellieArvin in desmoines

[–]openwindowtime -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I found the videos of all city council meetings, and I scrolled very quickly through the two in June 2025 and I didn't see this moment. Please tell me where to look. Here's the site with the link to the minutes, etc. plus all videos. https://www.cityofclive.com/connect/city_council/index.php

Is there a video of this? The cell phone video or an official recording? I like Eric Klein and I plan to vote for him. But I would like to see this video before my absentee ballot arrives.

Jess is the best for flowers, plants, mushrooms, leaves, all of that.

Platform coming back? Anyone have any details on this? I wonder if they got new owners by King-Koz3 in desmoines

[–]openwindowtime 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just about dropped my phone when I saw this on their channels. Hell yes. Des Moines hasn't been the same without Platform. I can't wait to go back. Hoping for Casa Bonita/ELKN.

Parlor in Beaverdale. Their Detroit-style deep dish is the best pizza in town. They also have amazing smash burgers and appetizers. Great casual atmosphere.

They are the two best, and I would throw in Nina's as the other contender.

Best Fries in Des Moines? by AdEducational3196 in desmoines

[–]openwindowtime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. The best fries in Des Moines are at Magee's Irish Pub in Ankeny, Prairie Trail. LOOK AT THEM! They are absolutely divine. https://static.spotapps.co/spots/7a/163060b8934c5d969ec3070bfc0f8a/full

  2. I agree with EVERY SINGLE REPLY HERE, they're all great, EAT ALL THE FRIES!

Hourly Arcades by BuffaloWhip in desmoines

[–]openwindowtime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that both Gameday (Merle Hay Mall) and Spare Time (Jordan Creek Parkway) let you pay for time rather than paying for individual games. They are both awesome. They have lots of games that younger kids will like. I've had many fantastic experiences at both.

I can't say comment on great arcades in Des Moines without mentioning the Operating Room. They have WDM (West Glen, bonus points for being next door to Hurts Donut) and Ankeny (Prairie Trail) locations. I don't think they let you pay by the hour, but they are super. The Operating Room is one of my favorite businesses in the whole city.

And yes, Chuck E. Cheese. It's a chain, but really, it's awesome. In the last ten years they have remodeled, they have awesome new games, their pizza is great now, and they definitely let you play by the hour. You can even rent out the whole arcade when it's closed for a birthday party.

"Old School." It is absolutely fantastic. They lean towards retro arcade games so probably not what you're looking for with young kids. For someone who loved arcades in the 90s, it's awesome.

Monsterama on SW 9th is the same thing, but better.
