Every Christmas Eve we buy 5lbs of the Italian Beef from them. We slow cook it and serve with their cheeses, peppercini's, hot peppers and stellar hoagies. It is a tradition we started when I grew up in the burb's of Chicago and continue to this day now in Iowa(having Italian Beef hoagies).
while i agree, the crazy part is it is literally the exact same ingredients...shouldnt be too much different
I think they're closed but man, there used to be a place called Noodle Zoo in West Des Moines area and they had hands down the best parmesan turkey grilled sandwich I've ever had.
B&B Grocery, South Union or Manhattan Deli would be my top 3.
I personally would get George's Special at South Union if you made me pick 1

I really don't get why every single thing fails over in that area. Village Inn, Burger King, Okoboji Grill, Planet Sub, some sports bar that I can't remember the name, etc.. I'm sure the movie theater is next in line. I get why Price Chopper and American failed. Of course the one place I don't like, Texas Roadhouse, does a ton of business.
Seemed like it was always busy when I would go there for lunch. Pandemic casualty maybe?
Agree that it's weird not many places have staying power over there. At least ShortE's is still there.
(fwiw I only work in Johnston, don't live there)
ShortE's seems to have limited days/hours. They are pretty good, I wish they had a better location.
Taste of Italy in Clive. Wow, awesome sandwiches. Everyone should try their meatball sub
Too close to JC now. Back in the day when Wynnsong opened that area was a spot. No reason to go near there if you don’t live around there.
I can think of one solution that will not be well received and would likely take this to the cave so Ill stop. Good luck to them.
Seriously? There probably isn't a similar sized metro in the country with as good of a food scene. I've been to cities twice the size of Des Moines that didn't have as good of a food scene.
Really??? If this was my last day on earth I'd want the Waveland for breakfast, Tasty Taco for lunch, Chicago Speakeasy for dinner and a banana split blizzard on the way home.
5 Borough Bagels out in WDM/Clive is also amazing. New York style bagels and they mix their own cream cheeses. Their meats are all awesome too.
When my daughter was born down the street we had their bagel sandwiches just about every day during our stay.

THIS PLACE IS THE BEST!!!! off the charts good.
Johnston kinda has this sleepy bedroom town feel to it. Like the city shuts down at 5:30 pm every day. I've lived/worked in Johnston for 15 years, and it's always felt that way to me.
I think people want to go outside of their town to "do" anything.
