TOP 3 THE ROYAL MILE REVIEWS
Charming bar restaurant. Loved the location and decorated beautifully. Wait staff was friendly and prompt. Food was served hot and was delicious. Portions huge, and priced well.
We were looking for a place serving food at a very late hour with 3 older teens in tow (after a nearby hockey game). What a gem of a find. Even though they were serving only appetizers at that hour, they had very tasty options, and the service & atmosphere was great. I would love to go back during a more 'normal' hour of the day.
Walked in straight away greeted and seated welcomed to the establishment asked if wanted anything special to drink. Given menu ordered food piping hot which I like. Food was fantastic service was fantastic server even sat down with us and chatted for a while. Great atmosphere more of the British style pub that we like.

TOP 3 FRANCIE'S BAR & GRILL REVIEWS
Best little bar restaurant around. Really enjoyed the whole experience. Just passing through on the expressway with a quick overnight and needed dinner. Recommended by the hotel and it was spot on. Excellent.
Quite a nice find at the last minute, we got there kinda late but they were still willing to cook for us! I liked how they prepared the fries with cheese and bacon and sour cream on them, so good. Turned out really satisfying and it wasn't pricey at all. We will definitely go back again.
Hands down the best hamburger in the Des Moines metro!!! Hot fries. Awesome pickles. Maggie was an outstanding server !!!! She knows what she is doing. We will be back soon !!!!

TOP 3 WELLMAN'S PUB & ROOFTOP REVIEWS
We had an excellent time at Wellman's on Saturday night. The entire place was great. The restaurant was clean and seemed fully staffed. My burger was recommended and excellent. Our table was close to the bar and Jocelyn did a great job taking care of us. We camped at her table for several hours, and she was attentive from the time we arrived til when we tabbed out. I thought the noise level was what it should be for a place like that and I would jump at the chance to return if I was in the area.
We were in the area for an evening and decided to try Wellman's for dinner. We were seated out on the patio in a corner spot that felt like a garden. It was really pretty! We ordered the Tuna Nachos that were fresh and full of flavor. We also had the jalapeno popper Rangoon. The Rangoon were definitely fresh and had plenty of cream cheese and bacon. We just didn't care for the corn in them so probably wouldn't order them again. For drinks, I had the fruit smash which was delish, and my hubby had a lemonade drink (I can't remember the name!) which he loved. I know if we lived in the area we'd be frequent visitors as this is definitely our kind of place!
I love this place! They have a little bit of everything on the menu. But I cannot get enough of the Tuna Poke Bowl. Sooooooo good! I order it every time I am there. I have seen other foods my friends order and they all look scrumptious but I can’t stray from my favorite!
