Reviews for LJ's Burgers & Ice Cream in Des Moines, IA
Being vegetarian, there's not a lot for me at a burger joint, but I was hungry for a little "late night snack" and decided to... try this out. Great sides for sure! I wasn't sure about portion sizes just looking at them but dang, it's a lot when it comestime to try and actually eat it all. I find it pretty rare that someplace is able to make great fries AND onion rings; usuallyI find myself preferring one or the other, depending on the place. The cheese curds are good, too! Very impressed. Service wasfriendly, courteous, and professional. Read more
This is what my burger looked like when I got it home. Cheese was all melted. Just sloppy made sandwich. A little disappointed... this time. Read more
This place used to have great quality. Idk if it's because you have a bunch of high school kids working, but RAW chicken that I... intended to feed my son is never ok. I spent $60 here today and that's the service i get. I'd rather wait long for fully cookedfood than have your employees be careless just to rush a big order out. I unfortunately don't think I'll be coming back. FoodBourne illness can be deadly, and I'm not taking the risk. Read more
Great food, burgers tasted fresh, not greasy and thin, onion rings were not over or under-cooked. The price was around $10 per... person, and dine in is not open still, so drive through is all that is available. There are a few outside picnic tables to use. Read more
Their pizza burger was freaking amazing! Gave a nostalgic school pizza burger but tasted about 10x's better! Only reason I gave... 3 stars instead of 5 is because the banana split was small and halfway melted when we got it from drive thru???? Read more
Extremely disappointed. This is one of my favorite places but tonight service was terrible. When the girl was taking our order... she was rude and her bad attitude made it seem like she was annoyed to have 3 customers. All together we spent over $50 and whenwe pulled around to pay we were told we'd have to wait 10minutes because they had to take more orders before they could makeours and that it was also our avalanche ice cream with extra Oreo that was going to take so long..? So we were asked to pullforward and as we sat there we watched two cars receive their orders with ice cream and pull away! When we finally got our foodas we pulled away my friend looked at her shake and there was almost no Oreos at all. Unfortunately it was a very unsatisfyingexperience. Read more
I was out running errands and didn't know what was close to eat and noticed this little burger joint. It looks like it has been... there for a while, but have never noticed it before. I told the cashier that I had never been here and what she recommended. Asusual, "everything is good". I ended up getting the mushroom and Swiss burger combo. The fries were nice and fresh and theburger was good. I wouldn't go out of my way to get a burger, but worth it if you want something fast. The signage reallyreminded me of another popular ice-cream place that serves burgers, with similar looking frozen treats. Read more
Food is great, employees are horrible! I say fire them all and start fresh. Preferably those with respect and dedication to... their job. The woman who took my order was very rude. The manager that took over for her at the window, even worse. Didn't seeminterested in their job or what they were doing. Not very helpful, didn't let me know I could go ahead and leave after handingme one bag, didn't realize they stuff all my food into one bag, just tossed it to me turned around and shut the window. Veryunprofessional people. Read more
