“I was always curious about the chicken being sold in a liquor store, so I finally stopped to check it out. It was delicious! Worth it even if you don't need liquor. But it was also a very nice and well stocked store with a friendly staff.”
“Pretty solid little hole in the wall bottle shop !! Occasionally get great allocated things which is great, also the only bottle shop in the state I know of currently that carries a very special islay bottle of Gin ...... otherwise known as the botanist , also very friendly staff!!!”
“Cheapest cigarettes around and the worker is such a nice dude. Greeted me as a regular since day two, but is genuine. If I hadn't been in for a second, he'll ask. No fake smile, legit man and a legit establishment.”

3500 Ingersoll Ave, Des Moines“My goal was to buy a good bottle of champagne for the New Year's holiday. I also wanted to purchase outside of the small community where I live. It was certainly worth the drive to shop at Ingersoll. I will note no one offered assistance, but I wanted straight to the area I needed and did not seek out assistance. I felt that the prices were certainly inline as well.”
“Of all the owners this building has had. It's current one takes first place as the best in my opinion. Extremely friendly, considerate, and in my experiences, 100% customer-satisfaction-oriented.”

109 E 1st St B, Grimes“Nice selection of everything. Need to rotate beer selections , get in occasional random breweries, spice it up a bit in the cooler. Whiskey and liquor selection is great.”
“I visited this location this week and was pleasantly surprised by how nice it is inside. There was one girl doing a ton of work, I saw her doing multiple tasks with inventory and running the register all by herself, I believe her name was Kat or Kathy maybe?. She was STILL extremely pleasant and helpful and even took time to explain the benefits of the store card. Places need more workers like her!Because of the service I will be back again and will most sign up for a store credit card next time!”
“Mustafa G. At the customer service encounter is extremely professional, prompt and did a great job helping me today. So much easier than going to the post office!”
11:00 AM - 9:00 PM
8460 Birchwood Ct, Johnston“Stopped in on a Friday evening for dinner. We were greeted and seated immediately. Water was poured and menus were brought. We each ordered a beer while we looked over the extensive menu. They offer lunch specials. The menu was split into appetizers, noodles, rice, specialties, sushi, Japanese and kids so if you knew what you wanted you could easily find it. We took our time looking over the menu since we were open to trying new things. We started with shrimp in a blanket -four nice size shrimp in a wonton with plum sauce. They were served ahead of our meal and came our steaming hot and crispy. For entrees we orders the red curry with rice, vegetables and fried tofu at a 2, and the pad woon sen with pork at a 4. The heat level is 1-6 for reference. The food came quite quickly and looked so good. We both enjoyed our meals but would each increase the heat level by 1 next visit. The 2 was fairly mild and the 4 had some heat but seemed more mid level. Our server Dijana was very helpful and did a great job keeping water filled and answering our questions. We will be back.”
“Not recommended fish game tables. They arent even fun to play most of the time, just hurry and take your money. Cheap cigarettes! Open at 9, til midnight, so great hours for the most part. Good variety of things you need on the fly that most places won't have. All in all, it's a convenient store for alcohol and all smoke related needs.”
“The people who work at Hy-Vee are generally very helpful. The only complaint is the pharmacy drive-thru gets extremely congested. I almost saw a fight there the other day when an unsuspecting senior pulled in the line and it was ahead of the man who had been waiting for quite awhile..he started honking then it got more aggressive until he got out of his car and started to yell at the person... it really was a scary situation... the drive-thru does need to be reconfigured as it generally has a long line. The store usually have what you need but I recommend making sure to watch when items are on sale that they ring up properly because sometimes that doesn't happen.”
9AM - 11:30PM
5904 Ashworth Rd, West Des Moines“Good people and good prices. Some things are priced better than others but in all honesty this is the case everywhere. I feel they have a good selection and they carry the cheap brands like 24/7's alongside higher quality. I find it refreshing that they are not afraid to cater to high-end or low end customers and they simply have what you need, be it a 1200 dollar bottle of liquor or 5 dollar cigarettes.”
7AM - 12AM
111 SW 63rd St, Des Moines“Good group of guys that work in there. They will always do their best to find what you are wanting or find something similar. Massive variety of alcohol. Most of the time their prices are definitely a challenger for others around the neighborhood.”
“Kudos to Hy-Vee for having many workers on Wednesday before TG. The parking lot was full but I was able to check out quickly. They were so prepared! Super great customer service!”
“I highly recommend this place to anyone!! I moved to this area about a year ago and discovered this little gem near my house. Once they realized I was a regular customer they started ordering specifically for me. Great service and excellent selection of products!”
“Ended up trying the breakfast one morning on an impulse. It was excellent. Huge portions and lots of flavors. The wife and I both ended up taking half of our meals home.”
9AM - 12AM
3330 Martin Luther King Jr Pkwy, Des Moines“Hy-Vee has always been a nice, clean and friendly place to buy groceries. This location was no exception. Help is always nearby. There are always friendly and polite employees available to help. The cleanest grocery store you'll find.”
“Chester's is typically fairly busy. The reason for this is twofold. One, of course, is the fact that it sells liquor, and the owner is pretty good at getting new stuff in once a brand is brought to their attention that they don't have. The other is the chicken and pizza they make. I personally recommend the tenders, however, they make excellent fish and breasts as well. They also offer gizzards, which they give an ample amount of per order. If you are in the area, looking for some food, come by around 11 am, and you will have some amazing chicken, the first batch of the day, ready and waiting.”
“Best Coca Cola to deliver too. Fast paced and everyone there is amazing... I've been going there 2 to 3 times a week for 3 years... Coca Cola needs to reward this place with their style of unloading and their positive attitudes”
“The prices here from what I can tell are great. They special order some liquor in for just me, and it's $4/bottle cheaper than hyvee. Regardless, what's a dollar here and there, support local owned business!Staff is always friendly, can't ask for much more!”
“My brother and I recently received excellent service from this grocery store right before Thanksgiving. Also, the adjacent liquor store had a nice selection of nonalcoholic beers, with a very helpful staff.”
“They usually have things in looking for and a variety of other things that might appeal to some. The spirits selection is on point and worthy of pulling in and taking a few minutes.”
