Waveland
Café
Visited
what could possibly be a Des Moines institution, The Waveland Café has been voted
the best breakfast in the Metro for like 16 straight years. I’ll say not much
for looks but that’s part of its charm. When we arrived the line was almost out
the door I asked a regular if we needed to give our name to someone he said no
seating is just kind of on the honor system. For a minute it was kind of nerve
racking but in the end it just again added to the charm, along with the 80’s
rock music playing in the background. I’m not really sure how to best say this
but the appearance of the wait staff would make you wonder. But it was some of
the best service I’ve had anywhere and they knew how to get people in and out
while busing their own tables. Proves you can’t judge a book by its cover. The
bacon left a little to be desired, and not often I say this but the eggs really
had good flavor. The highlight was definitely the hash browns, not sure how
they cook them but they were the best I’ve ever had. They were crisp on the
outside and the insides literally melted in your mouth. I can’t wait to go
back. The Waveland café just solidifies my phrase if there is not a wait, keep
the plate.
