Hessen Haus - Des Moines

My female server is amazing. I was never rushed. She was able to answer my questions and tell me about items on the menu including the one's she had had. I had everything I needed. The Beef Stroganoff is amazing. I didn't like the griddle residue onmy piece of bread but I did not mention it. I owned and operated business's myself. The size of the incredible piece GermanChocolate Cake is well worth the price and was enough for me take some home and share it. She put my leftover cake in a verynice container and I had a walker so she put this in a bag. I don't drink alcohol but I can see how this would be a wonderfulatmosphere and fun to be here. In case anyone thinks the prices are too high please try what you want and then decide. They cananswer any questions you have about the menu and so many dishes, etc. to choose from. I went back to tell the pharmacy tech thathas brought back a grilled cheese that is not your average grilled cheese and fries in a black container thank you for tellingme about this place. It is a little difficult to enter using a walker and I didn't see the part of the sidewalk missing andalmost broke my walker and fell over the top but I didn't and a man walking by offered to help me if I needed help. It isuniquely designed and very clean inside. I am on a low fixed income that includes me being mandatorily retired by SSA at 62years old so as much as I would enjoy trying more of their menu it will be a long time.

I?ve always enjoyed coming here, the food is generally good and the environment is chill, good amount of space as well. I went last night and our server female) didn?t seem to thrilled or even like a ?people person?. Service was rushed then slow. Shenever checked to see how our food was. The roast beef was a pile of lukewarm mush, left uneaten. Our table ordered 3 appsbecause the happy hour price $2 off) but when our bills came, she said they don?t do that anymore. So why have happy hour signsposted all over and include it in the menu? Maybe tell us before or still honor it? Terrible customer service experience comingfrom someone who worked in the restaurant business for several years. I had to ask for the burger happy hour price to be changedon the check $2. Not a huge deal with the prices, but come on. People consider special pricing when choosing theirmeals/drinks. I will say my Wild West Berlin burger was a 10/10 along with the fries. update 7/6 I came back and myexperience was much better. The service was great, quick and attentive. I got the same meal because it was so good the firsttime. It doesn?t disappoint.
