Cheese Bar

"We moved here from the West Coast but have lived in many states. We are excitedly trying new restaurants to find favorites. I called ahead and asked about the au jus. We decided to give this place a try. We ordered for pick up so I can’t say much about the service, although it did look lively and the drinks were being enjoyed! The sandwiches had a slice or two of meat and did not come with fries or any side. The tiny cup of jus was shocking. It was disappointing to see more bread than meat and cheese for the price! See pics. The Mac and cheese was okay. Not bad but not worth the price I feel, it was bland except for the crispy onions on top. I have been told this is a Des Moines favorite and I think maybe we just need to adjust our taste buds and expectations when it comes to food to price ratio."

"Had the raclette with sausage and it was great. Many more interesting items on this low key menu. Will definitely be back. Beer and wine menu is also worth the trip."

"Go here. Had the sweet potato fries, Mac and cheese, and the lemon vinaigrette salad. Went 2-5 weekdays for 5$ bites! Really good! Shared all with daughter and grand baby! Nice lunch date for sure!"

"The menu selection and food was delicious! The wait service was somewhat lacking, however. Server was not very attentive and didn't check back often. They might have been under-staffed that day. My only complaint! We came from Cedar Rapids. It was definitely worth the drive!"

"Ambiance is nice and they have nice patio. Service is great. Bacon and onion mac $18 (9/10) - would have rated 10/10 if it was more cheesy. Cheesy taste complimented by sweetness of onion and saltness of bacon was divine. Poutine $15 (6/10) cheese curds were tasty but gravy was bland for my taste"
