Casey's — Restaurant in Des Moines

This used to be my go to location. Been coming here for probably a decade. Ever since new manager "Tony" took over about 6 months ago I have seen it do nothing but decline. The previous manager did a good job and had a staff that actually cared. Most the time that I am here the manager now lives in his office.

Let's also not forget the 2,300 in damage the car wash did to my truck. Tony acted as if he couldn't care less when it happened and simply gave me a form to fill out and said that they have an excellent risk department. Didn't get an apology, no sorry, nothing... Not only is that a lie but their risk department denies it ever happened and paid me enough to replace my destroyed running boards and to just "go away." The exact words their legal team used were that I "misunderstood this as a negotiation, and I could take their offer or take them to small claims court." I cannot afford to replace the tires that were damaged in the process, so I just have to hope I don't have a blowout on the Interstate because of Casey's negligence.

Location overall feels dirtier, the staff seem uninterested, and there is rarely food that hasn't been sitting out for an extended period of time. Sad how quickly a store can decline when you remove a good manager that operated it well...

As a current New Yorker, I’m entirely too pretentious when it comes to pizza. And as a born-and-raised Midwesterner, I have a unique appreciation for thin slices the size of my face and short, thiccc slices loaded with toppings.

My girlfriend, a native Iowan, has raved about Casey’s Pizza since we first started dating. I was skeptical for more than 2 years until this Thanksgiving when I flew back to Des Moines with her for the first time. I’m happy to say the wait was worth it.

The breakfast pizza was filling and satisfying, but not at all too-heavy, given the toppings. I had both the bacon and sausage slices and was pleasantly impressed, while pairing it with a cuppa coffee. They were unique and flavorful and was a tasty, savory way to start the day. These two slices earned a 5-star rating.

The pepperoni, taco, and cheese slices were more in line with what you’d expect from any local, run of the mill pizza joint. Heavy, cheesy, but enjoyable, nonetheless. The only thing that detracted from these slices was the fact that almost all the toppings on the taco pizza immediately fell off, and the other two were a bit too greasy for my taste.

Still, for a convenience store, this is the best slice of pizza you’re probably gonna get in a pinch. I’m glad my...

Driving down the road and had a sudden case of toddler bladder announced from the backseat. Looking around i start to feel like im about to have a mess to clean up when we get home. All of the sudden, like a beacon i see the caseys road sign up ahead. Thank you Jesus! Then i notice how many cars are in the parking lot and i start to feel concerned about bathroom availability, thankfully its the boy that has stated the issue. Now another problem starts to sneak in, dad isnt with us so he will have to go by himself (something he has done on occasion but not usually when its convenient- i mean he is still a toddler and cant be too accommodating) or we will still have to use the girls bathroom (some choices huh). We get inside and i start for the girls door and notice he isnt behind me then i hear can i go in the boys bathroom? I tell him sure but i cant go with him which he barely acknowledges before the door has closed behind him. Did have another customer exit the room and let me know there were no other guys inside if i wanted to check on him so i peeked inside all was well and thankfully clean. Stopped to buy a pkg of crackers before leaving and cashier was super friendly. Everything...
