The decor was fun!! Loved that they had chalkboard tables for kid's. I had "The Jersey ".... It was a little more spicy than I was expecting. Next time, horseradish...on the side. Pasta salad was good. Friend ordered the "Evil Chicken." She had found that it was indeed..spicy!! But she did like it. My friend and I have lunch almost every Saturday....Eat locally owned! And I contribute to Google.. Thank you, Kaitlyl L. You are fantastic 👏 In all my years of posting my reviews, you are the only person who offered refills of water or pop/soda... after we paid our bill.

Service here was very friendly and on the ball. No complaints at all. I had the wings and was honestly not impressed unfortunately.. very wet tasting like they were warmed up in the microwave or something.. very similar to Little Caesars but good sized. Not sure I'd recommend those.. Wife had the meatball sandwich and said it was good. Toasty bread and good flavor. Kid had the ham and cheese with chips and liked them both. Overall it's a decent place for bar food and drinks but just don't recommend the wings myself.

Love music bingo night (free to play and cash prizes for each round), and the waitress we normally have. It’s nothing fancy, but everyone is friendly and their apps and sandwiches are really tasty. Haven’t had one we don’t like. My husband and I both like their pasta salad, really creamy.

My husband won't stop complaining about your nachos. The poor man was struggling making a decision and he chose Goodsons for his evening dinner. I went with Taste of China. He called, ordered nachos and they said 10 mins. He arrived, they didn't put the order in. So he ordered there and waited. He got his nachos, got home and was so disappointed that he had to put together the nachos. He got his ingredients and put them all on the chips but there was zero cheese to be found. So, now for about an hour all I've been hearing is "where's the cheese? That's the staple of nachos. I shouldn't have to check the bag for cheese. I gotta ask more questions next time. And I shouldn't have to put it together." I had to share my crab rangoon to mediate the situation. Now, I'm not happy. 2 stars + 2 star because we like...

Goodsons is one of my favorite bars in all of Des Moines! Not only do they serve awesome drinks at an affordable price, but their food is incredible! I absolutely love their wings that are smoked to perfection on site! (no dipping sauce needed) But my most favorite is their Mount Olympus panni sandwich! I could eat it everyday. I strongly recommend Goodsons for lunch, dinner or even just a few drinks with friends! A huge shout out to Kaci and Matt! They are awesome bartenders, comics & great advice givers! (PS this is their killer Bloody Mary bar!...
