Re: Smashburger coming to Des Moines area
I'm pumped for one in Ames. They need to get it in Campustown somewhere. It's really been lacking a good place to get burgers for a long time.

Re: Smashburger coming to Des Moines area
Speaking of Sushi, has anyone been to Saki 21, the new place where Franks' Pizza used to be? I went there this week and the place is awesome! Decent prices and delicious!
Re: Smashburger coming to Des Moines area
Frank's needs to re-open.

This is the only somewhat positive thing I have heard about this place aside from the Juice reviewers. Everyone else whose opinions I trust way more have said it is absolutely terrible. [
Re: Smashburger coming to Des Moines area
Frank's should re-open up inside Best Place Ever.

Saki isn't even a Japanese word.
I wouldn't trust a restaurant owner who can't spell Sake correctly.
Do they have white sushi chefs?

Re: Smashburger coming to Des Moines area
I want a goddamn White Castle in Des Moines and I want it NOW!!! I've emailed White Castle several times and they send me stupid replies about how setting up shop in Iowa isn't in their plans and shit. What the fuck?
I poop on Petland!

Re: Smashburger coming to Des Moines area
I asked about franchising , but they aren't interested in having on in Iowa for some reason. Sorry, but the frozen ones suck compared to the real deal.joseph wrote:then franchise one. i like the breakfast. but other than that meh. frozen food aisle.Big Fat Retard wrote:I want a goddamn White Castle in Des Moines and I want it NOW!!!

Good thinking. I've been nuking them. Maybe I should try steaming them like they do at White Castle.joseph wrote:i like the frozen ones better. probably because i fry them

Re: Smashburger coming to Des Moines area
i fucking love b-bops.
Re: Smashburger coming to Des Moines area
I agree with this, that shit is gross, and I eat a lotta gross shit. I guess I just have never had that stoned/drunk craving for any food as long as it came to me fast, hot and cheap.tylerjames515 wrote:White Castle sucks, do NOT want one here.

Re: Smashburger coming to Des Moines area
Yeah, I don't see the fascination with White Castle. I've been to WC in Minnesota a couple of times, I didn't think it was anything to write home about. They could put one on the corner of SE 14th and Park Ave, I'd drive by it every day and probably never stop.

Re: Smashburger coming to Des Moines area
White Castle is food you eat during Hard Times.
or when you are too intoxicated to know better.
WC is bearable if you avoid the burgers... get the chicken rings, and try not to think about what part of a chicken the "ring" is.
Also, can't fucking wait to eat B-Bops when I'm passing through town next month. B-Bops, Taco Casa, and Taki... the culinary triumphs of the greater Des Moines metro area. So pumped.

Re: Smashburger coming to Des Moines area
Easily my 2nd favorite fast food burger. Only one that tops it is In-N-Out. We'll have to see how this Smashburger place compares. Looking forward to trying it.joseph wrote:i fucking love b-bops.

Re: Smashburger coming to Des Moines area
I'll say it - I wasn't overly impressed by In-N-Out. Maybe it's because I didn't get a chance to order a 16x16 beautiful monstrosity, or that they don't carry mayonnaise (I can appreciate burger purity as much as the next guy, but goddamnit I want some mayo for my fries, actually.. I require it)... but it didn't impress me too much. Decent burgers, but def. not the best fast food I've had. I like even like Steak n Shake more.

Re: Smashburger coming to Des Moines area
I heard its pretty faggy.Speaking of Sushi, has anyone been to Saki 21, the new place where Franks' Pizza used to be?
Re: Smashburger coming to Des Moines area
Fucking stoked!!
Smashburger, a fast-casual, “better burger” restaurant concept will open its second Iowa location at 2010 SE Delaware Ave. in Ankeny, on Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2009. Smashburger introduced Iowaresidents to Smashburger in September 2009 with its store at 1821 22nd St (corner of 22nd and University) in West Des Moines.
Re: Smashburger coming to Des Moines area
thats less than a mile from my work
Re: Smashburger coming to Des Moines area
Should have gone to Fat Burger. It's so much better than In-N-Out.robdigi wrote:I'll say it - I wasn't overly impressed by In-N-Out.

Now if B-bops would just stop being so cheap and dumped the Styrofoam and went with paper, they could be the Fat Burger of Des Moines. I just hate the taste it adds to their food.
I don't understand why we don't have a Steak n Shake. IC has one now.
I paid my dues but I lost my Receipt.
Re: Smashburger coming to Des Moines area
It's been open for a while. Eat there with the kid a few weeks back. Onion Rings kind of sucked but the fries and the burgers were great.Nick wrote:Fucking stoked!!
