Brightside Cafe

This was a wonderful little find while visiting Sioux City! The Cafe had such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The walls are covered with inspiring quotes! The staff was so friendly and helpful. The food was very good! The best part was that they had a meal for those in need program where I was able to pay for a future meal for someone in need!

Had never been here before. Didn’t know the program, but seemed a little off today. There was a sign at the door saying to wait to be seated, yet I waited for probably 5min or more while several employees buzzed by, and no one offered help or even said they would be back to seat me. Someone clearing tables (not wait staff) finally asked if I had been helped, and I said no, so he told me to just find a spot and someone would be with me. Didn’t seem like it was part of his job, so kudos to him for noticing I wasn’t getting helped. My waitress didn’t show for a while. Once she did, it took quite a while for her return. She came by for other tables, but passed me up. I didn’t even get my drink until my meal was half way eaten, whereas I’m used to having a drink while looking at the menu. I ordered the bright side burger and chili. Both were pretty decent. Not out of this world, but worthy enough to try again some time. Fries were decent too. From my experience, food seemed good enough to try again sometime. Service certainly seemed lacking today, but I saw other servers buzzing around attentively, so I think it is possible that my issues happens to be with the particular server that I had. Therefore, since the food was decent, and it looked like other people were getting good service, I’m not going to dismiss the place from a lack of service experience this time, as I assume it was likely something that may not repeat if I try again. So I’ll give a good 4 stars at this point, and try again sometime to hope they hold the 4 star rating I gave them the benefit of the doubt on.

Wait staff was good my kids Dino chicken nuggets had been over cooked they wouldn't eat them.  My steak burrito or chop steak not sure the meat had been over cooked on one side it was chew and unappetizing.  Cheese balls and fries where good

Amazing food, serviced right away, got our food very quick. Diet and allergy free options. Very cute and nice place, great music, I loved the artwork.

Brightside Cafe is AMAZING! The food was fantastic, the service was great, and the vibe was inspiring -- both because of the cool quotes painted on the walls in the cafe, as well as the pay-it-forward aspect of being able to contribute to their breakfast program for those experiencing food insecurity.
Brightside Catering was also off-the-charts outstanding. We were in Sioux City for our son's wedding, and needed to locate a caterer for the Friday evening event we were hosting. Brightside was brilliant, bringing the first sitting (full dinner) for 30 and ensuring all was set up beautifully (we used The Pierce, a great location!), and our guests all commented on how good the food was... then Brightside returned with our second set of food for a welcome reception for 75 people, and again everything was just right. The Brightside team made sure everything was right.
Fresh Food Crafted with Love is at the top of their web site, and I'd only add slightly: "Food Crafted and Served with Love".

The food was so fresh and staff so helpful. This is the best poke bowl I've found yet in the area. Definitely worth a stop!

Sooo Good. The food was full of flavor. The service was so fast and everyone was so friendly.  Great addition to the KC area. A must try!

The sushi and poke bowls are very good.  After living in Florida for over a decade where sushi is on every corner, I am delighted that KC finally has a sushi restaurant that I feel is worthy.  The fish is fresh and the restaurant is really clean.  The sushi rolls actually stay together (so many restaurants here they fall apart) and the quality surpasses a lot of the other restaurants I have tried where I feel their sushi is average and really lacks any flavor.  I have also had the Poke bowls and I was really impressed by the quality of the fish.    I highly recommend!

This was a wonderful place to visit.  The food was fantastic and the folks who run this place are very friendly.  The atmosphere is very welcoming and lots of space.  I also love the fact that they have self order kiosks.  Three of them to be exact.  Come try this place out if you are in the mood for some poke or sushi.  They do a fantastic job, and I'll guarantee that you'll come back like I have.

The customer service was amazing! They were so patient with my mom and really nice. The restaurant is also clean and tidy. The food is amazing, and I come here every time for sushi or poke bowls. Would definitely recommend!

McDonald's

I hit the drive-through at about 10:15 pm. while on a cross-country trip. The staff was prompt and friendly with service. The food was typical McDonald's but obviously fresh with hot and crispy fries.. I was pleasantly surprised that the shake machine was still available. Lots of times, it is closed for cleaning at that time of night. Overall, it was a good McDonald's experience.

I am an undercover worker. Had a bad morning after overhearing a Coworker say out loud! How much she hates her job and doesn’t want to work there anymore!  Well guess what? I’ll make sure she never works again! My Food was great! Her attitude needs improvement!
Very thin, glasses, tall. Brown hair. American.

We actually went through the drive-thru and the gentleman that was taking our order was very nice , seemed happy, and was generally interested in what we were ordering. We had a specialty order and he read back the entire order that we placed and upon receiving our items everything was perfect. We did not go inside however, but the facility is brand new so I would expect it would be spotless.

Ordered 4 things. Cheeseburger. Mcdouble no onion, fries and a drink...
Mc*double* had 1 patty. Didn't get the fries
Out of 4 items they messed up 2...those aren't good numbers.

I recently had the misfortune of visiting McDonald's, and it was an absolute disaster. The wait time for my order was beyond belief. I could have grown a garden and harvested my own vegetables in the time it took them to prepare a simple meal.

The staff seemed to be in a state of perpetual chaos, with no sense of urgency or customer service. It felt like they were moving in slow motion while the rest of the world was in fast-forward.

When my order finally arrived, it was cold and unappetizing. I could hardly believe that after all that time, they couldn't even manage to get it right. The taste was a sorry excuse for fast food, and it left me wondering if they had forgotten how to cook.

I left McDonald's feeling frustrated, disappointed, and with a sense of wasted time. This experience was a stark reminder of why I should think twice before setting foot in one of their establishments again. It's safe to say that this visit will be my last.

Open Sesame

I came several years ago and haven't had a chance to come back. How foolish I was. The chicken Shwarma pita was amazing. The Greek salad is the best in DSM - even better than the Greek place down the road. The gyro meat is so good.

A real nice place for lunch. Had the gyro plate and some stuffed grape leaves to go. Food came out fast and service was great. Very busy at lunch so glad I went a little early

This little gem is amazing. Order the Gyro Rice dish, you will not be disappointed. The chicken shawarma is amazing as well! Wish they were available on GrubHub or in Mondays! The staff are wonderful and the atmosphere takes you to a place that is far beyond the East Village of Des Moines! Go check it out!

Overall good food. I went back multiple times, and will definitely go again next time I’m in town. Great place to get some high quality plant based eats too. Lots of vegan options.

Hummus: 8/10
Baba: 8/10
Gyro: 9/10
Salad/ 8/10
Falafel: 8/10
Pita: 9/10
Dolmas: 9/10

I got a shawarma rice plate to go and it was delicious! The garlic sauce and jalapenos were my favorite part.

Oklaboba

My family truly enjoyed our experience here. The boba was tasty and the cups are great quality with tiny details. The food was delicious. We also loved the show that they had playing in the background.

The best bubble tea in Edmond and honestly even OKC. The owners are the absolute sweetest people and deserve all of the success. Their branding is adorable and the atmosphere is so nice!
Plus, they’re always expanding their menu and never miss with their seasonal menu items.

Excellent!! The vibe and kindness of the workers were top notch. Felt very comfortable there. Both drinks were delicious and poke bowls were so yummy!We stop at lots of boba places and this one is on par with Sharetea quality but it’s local so 10/10!
Fantastic experience all around!

I normally get boba from here, so I wanted to try something new so I got the Japanese cheesecake. I did not expect to get such a tiny piece... $4.50 for a piece that is the size of two fingers? That is just ridiculous. Uncle Tetsu's cheesecake (a big brand name globally) even charges less than that. I am really disappointed in how unreasonable the portion size was for a cheesecake. Sure, this may be "rare" in OKC, but that doesn't really justify the price and portion size.

Oklaboba is an absolute gem! Modern, clean, and with a bougie vibe, it’s the perfect place for boba lovers. The friendly staff helped us create amazing beverages. Can’t wait to go back! 😍🥤 #BobaLove #Oklaboba

The One Cafe

The owners are so nice and friendly to customers and the regulars! Cute cafe. The food is fresh and tastes good! I got the one club, good size sandwich, and tasted good. My husband ordered a poke bowl for the 1st time and enjoyed it. Would come back!

The food was delicious and well portioned! Lots of options for the poke bowl. We got several recommendations and they were awesome. Maybe a bit of background music to really top off the atmosphere otherwise perfect. Highly recommend if you enjoy sushi to try out this restaurant and their bowls!

You have to try the crepes. Always great service and the food never misses!!! Has to be one of my favorite places to eat🤤

Jessie Zhou & Benny Fong have been at this tiny strip mall in the heart of Edmond for ten years. Since March 31st, 2013 they have dedicated a decade of their lives to their cafe, them being the only two employees. Their menu has a range of meals in which they show their superior expertise. Enjoy everything from sushi bowls to crepes to sandwiches to boba tea. Wether you visit once or once a week, they will always remember your name and appreciate your business. You will never find an establishment more dedicated to their customers or their craft.

& for a fun backstory- I have been going here for 4.5 years. they know my name, have been “there” through so many life events, I’ve gotten engaged, married, moved multiple times, had promotions, and they always ask me about each life event and they are genuinely the nicest people i’ve ever met. I know they go on vacation every year for a week during memorial day, they know I typically come in on a monday. they are THE best.

I got a poke bowl from here and everything was so fresh and delicious. I really wish more people knew about this place because the owners are so nice and attentive. They were very patient with me while I was trying to figure out what to order. Definitely will be going here again!!

HunnyBunny Biscuit Co.

This was our first time to visit. The food was delicious and staff were friendly and helpful. It can get really backed up as you enter because you order at the counter before you find a place to sit. Our order came fairly quickly. They do have some outside seating with a couple of corn hole boards available.

This is place great. We've been a couple different times with and without kids. The food is great and atmosphere is great. Service is very fast as well. Sometimes there is a line to get in but I promise it's worth it. They offer a variety of breakfast combinations with biscuits of course but also some dessert type ones. Specialty coffee and mimosas are also on the menu. It is a little on the pricey end but I still highly recommend this place!

Ok, ok. So I thought since my party and I were the only patrons in the building (well, one other person), there was something wrong. Welllllllll, I am here to tell you. The food was sooooooo above amazing!!! Wowwww, and let me look say Ashley's customer service was above and most definitely beyond.  She did that!!! I will definitely be telling everyone and will be returning.
Spectacular food and customer service!!!!

We've gone here the past 2 weekends specifically because we heard they have a dog friendly patio. The food is good, the staff is friendly and the super large patio is fully covered/shaded so it's comfortable to sit outside even on hot July mornings!

Hunny Bunny Biscuit is a delightful treat that truly satisfies the taste buds. The biscuit's texture is perfect – crisp on the outside and wonderfully fluffy inside. The sweetness is just right, striking a balance that isn't overly sugary. The touch of honey adds a unique, natural sweetness that elevates the flavor. It's the ideal companion for a cup of tea or coffee, making it a cozy, comforting snack. Whether you're enjoying it as a quick pick-me-up or savoring it with friends, Hunny Bunny Biscuit is a must-try for anyone with a sweet tooth.

HunnyBunny Biscuit Co

The staff on 12/19 was absolutely fantastic. We experienced great customer service from everyone we came in contact with.  They greeted everyone the walked in and genuinely cared. Perfect place for a breakfast date. We loved the holiday atmosphere that created such a welcoming vibe. Not to mention the food is just fantastic. Always a favorite when we are in the city.

My friend and I stopped in for lunch & we weren't disappointed. The place was cleab abd bright. The food was great! I ordered the "Cali". Modified my egg style & it was terrific! The hollandaise sauce was also very tasty. My friend ordered some sort of chicken fried steak. It looked good. Highly recommend 👌!

This restaurant specializes in biscuits, the numerous biscuit dishes are incredible. We ordered biscuits and gravy, fried chicken and biscuits, and a biscuit sandwich. All biscuits dishes were exceptional, as well as the collard greens and tater tots that were served as sides. If you enjoy biscuit, there’s something for everybody to include breakfast end various entrées.

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

Great stable on the 23rd Street food scene! Fast counter style restaurant with a great menu. Everything I've tried has been great, so stop in today if you haven't already.

Amazing breakfast spot! Heard great things about this place so we made sure to stop in before we headed back out of town. I love the countertop service style, staff was all wonderful and food was fantastic! Had the Cuban sandwich and the mix and match Benny's. Went with the pork Chile and smoked salmon, both of which were super good. You HAVE to give this place a try, will definitely be back anytime we're in town.
