Waveland Cafe Booneville

Waveland West should be known as Waveland Plus! All the same great breakfast items as the original plus dinner! And from West Des Moines, it's only an extra 10 minutes to drive. I'd love to come back and try the nightly specials.

We've heard about this place for years but never made our way there, until last night. We went with our neighbors, party of 8. We got there around 5:45 and had no problem finding a seat. This place is a great "dive bar/restaurant". It's decor is nothing special, but that's part of what makes it so comfortable. The restaurant is on one side, bar through the doorway on the other side. Not overly big. I imagine there would be a wait during breakfast hours. Erin was our server, and she was awesome. Very pleasant with a great sense of humor. Service was fast. She was all over refilling our drinks. Food was very good. Hash browns were amazing. The pizza was a great surprise. Wings are not on the menu, but ask if they have them. We had them last night and they were awesome. Smoked and then flash fried. Juicy, great crunch. Very tasty. Prices are very reasonable, portions are big. We were very impressed. This is comfort food all the way. Beer was cheap. Easy 5 stars for me. This is my kind of place.

3.75* (out of 5)Food: 4* Atmosphere: 3* Value: 4* Service: 4*01/04/2023A great little 'dive bar' just southwest of the Des Moines metro. We rode here with friends who have eaten here before and were impressed with the food. They specialize in breakfast, advertise 1/2 pound hamburgers and have adjoined cafe and bar areas so you can enjoy a burger in the bar or a drink in the cafe.We were there for dinner and decided to go with their 1/2 pound burgers. Our neighbors said that was the only way to go, as they had ordered the smaller one once and were disappointed. Specifically, I ordered the big Hot Pepper Cheeseburger (see picture) and my wife ordered the big Wavelands Breakfast Burger (see picture). We shared and both enjoyed both burgers...so would highly recommend both of them based on your tastes. The buns were lightly toasted on the grill, the fries were crispy and there was plenty to eat.If you'd like to get out of the hustle of the big city and enjoy a tasty burger in a relaxed environment, give this place a try.If you found this review helpful, please show your appreciation with a Like or a Follow.

Out in the middle of nowhere looking at houses and we were famished. Had heard this place existed but stumbled upon it almost by accident driving by.Small place with restaurant seating on one side and bar side on the other. Seat yourself and you're greeted quickly by a friendly server who brings the menus. We read the special board and opted for the pizza special. Any size up to 3 toppings for $12. We opted for sausage, beef and mushroom. The pizza took about 10 minutes and was filling enough without any fanfare. We had 2 pops as well. Ticket was under $20 so you can't beat that.Small parking, clean restrooms and friendly service. Next time I'm in the area, I'm getting their famous hashbrowns!

Awesome place to eat or drink! Used to come here back in the 90s frequently for breakfast. Now that my family lives less than 5 miles away it is one of our kid's favorite places to go! Breakfast is a big draw, but all of the food is good - my fave is the Signature pizza. My kids love the pancakes. We brought friends in from North Carolina on a Saturday night and they thought it was a fun spot to party. Cheers.

This is the first time we have been to this location. We went on a Sunday for breakfast. We walked in the door and tables were full except for one. I wish they had a sign or at least for the workers to acknowledge us that we need to seat ourselves.The hash browns were delicious. The biscuits and gravy were good. My mom liked here omelette and my sister liked her breakfast special. Waitresses didn't seemed like they wanted to be there at all. Our waitress only stopped back at our table to give us our bill which was about 1 minute after she brought our food. We then went up to register to pay where she continued to roll silverware while we waited awkwardly at the register. She seemed put off by the fact that we wanted our bill split when she had never asked in the first place.All in all, good food but average service.

If you are looking for a hearty breakfast with Midwestern comfort food...look no more.Waveland Cafe/Booneville is out in the sticks, but is worth the drive if you are hungry. There were six in our party on a Sunday morning and we arrived about 9:30. We were seated immediately, but just a few minutes later there was a long line waiting to get in.We had an assortment of foods from Corned Beef Hash to pancakes and all six of us left the table satisfied. The most common comments were about the delicious hash browns.Don't walk in here expecting swank dining. It is a little hole in the wall located across from the local grain co-op. You will find people here in their church clothes or their bib overalls.Come ready to enjoy a fulfilling meal with lots of carbs.

This was a short drive out of town. Seat yourself. Hashbrowns are my favorite breakfast food, these were pretty good, plenty of leftovers for breakfast the next day. Service was good. It appears to be a full bar. It was good food and service, but nothing over whelming. Everyone always hypes up the Waveland, not sure if it was the location or just an off day.

Would have been better if the waitress wasn't so sick she coughed the entire time. Sometimes covered it, sometimes not. Served our food after cleaning up another tables dirty plates--gross. Had no business working with that cough.

Hash browns are out of this world! Breakfast is always spot on. Sandwiches are just like grandma used to make. Everything is always great. Kids enjoy the place as well
