Customer Reviews
Very delicious food- great selections! We got the Jalapeno poppers, which I highly recommend. Then I got the Reuben sandwich with fries and my wife got the club sandwich- both were very good! I also got a chocolate malt which was quite tasty! I definitely want to return and try the wings and one of their fish fry Fridays! They just opened a large outdoor seating area which will be perfect as the weather is warming up. I’ll definitely be back.
Our food was good but the service was lacking. Waitress was nice & we got our food ok but never cleared anything away even when we asked for to go boxes. 4 of us in a booth with table full of dishes was uncomfortable. We have been here many times. Mostly the food has been good. Once we had to send something back but was fixed & was good. We do love the "new" Wackos. The menu items & prices are great! We can stay in town instead of going to Des Moines when we want a good steak. Thanks
One minute you’re out in a cornfield and the next thing you know you find an excellent restaurant with wonderful people in a town you’ve never heard of and place you’ve never seen before. This happens more in Iowa than you might imagine and if someone wrote a book about it, WACKOS would definitely have its own entry. Unique home made soups (chicken cheese tortellini and bacon cheeseburger were available the day we came) and a varied menu topped off by helpful friendly staff made our visit fantastic. I don’t think you’ll be sorry you stopped even if you thought (like we did) that we were just going to Pella … the place we planned to go to there had closed early. I’m glad they did!
I was a all together good place. Sticky tables just like any ol' bar and grill but looks like it has had some renovations. Service wasn't the best or the worst for that matter. A bar with no shot glasses and a bar tender that can't make a drinks. I enjoyed the food. My Ruben wasn't half bad, little burnt on the rye bread. Over all It definitely was a wacko experience.
My family needed to eat dinner last night so my mom called wackos and asked for our order to be made and ready to go by 4:45 which was an hour from the time she called. Other places will take our order and make it a few minutes prior to pickup fresh and we’ve done that with wackos previously. When my mom called the lady she spoke to on the phone was rude and disrespectful, my mom had asked for the fried chicken dinner but all white meat and if it’s an extra charge that’s fine. The lady was rude and explained she’d been in trouble the last time she did that. My mom said I’m sorry but you can charge me extra my dad doesn’t like the dark meat so only white please. Begrudgingly the lady said fine after speaking with another staff member. At the end of the call before hanging up and hearing the
