G Mig's 5th Street Pub — Restaurant in West Des Moines

Let me start by saying, I do like this place and so do others as every time we stop here it is packed, which isn't saying a lot as the place is small. We arrived with the intention of sitting on the outside patio. Timing was perfect as we walked out a couple was leaving and offered us their table. The waitress was extremely attentive which was a great sign. She took our drink order and returned in record time with our drinks. We were still checking out the menu and she said she would return. My wife ordered a mulberry mule drink at the recommendation of the waitress and really liked it. That is where the waitress' attention diminished for us. She walked by numerous times and even though I pointed to her she would walk back the other direction and not even look at our table. I will admit it was busy but it almost seemed deliberate at one point. Finally, we got her attention and my wife ordered the Chicken Salad Sandwich in a wrap and I ordered the Walking Taco Nachos. My wife enjoyed the wrap although she thought it was missing something and seemed a little fry. The Nachos were right on. It was a heaping plate of dorito style chips with queso, jalapeños and shredded cheese all layered on the plate and covered in lettuce. Every chip had topping on it. I would recommend the Walking Taco Nachos, just make sure you have someone to share them with. The patio area was delightful, umbrellas to block the sun and a nice little breeze going through the alleyways make it really comfortable. Highly recommend as the food us good, finding a place to sit can be uncomfortable. I would have given it five stars but the lack of attention seemed almost deliberate. We...

G Mig's 5th st Pub has a variety of breakfast offerings. But only on the weekends. I was here for the Eggs Benedict, which they call George's Benedict. My wife and I went here so I could try their version of "Bennys" . My review is only of the Benedicts, nothing else. The staff was polite and helpful. Shelly was our waitress, took good care of us and was a delight. With that in mind, I will let you know that have a "top ten" list for Benedicts. After our visit I rated these "Bennys" as #8 out of 10. #1 being the best and #10 not as good. My rating is based on 3 weights : 70% = taste 20% = presentation 10% = price

#1 - taste: they DON'T use an English muffin, they DO use a thick piece of Canadian bacon, they put scallions and small pieces of tomato on top, which has no benefit at all. The eggs were perfect and the Hollandaise sauce was flavorful. It comes with hash browns, which were ordinary. All of this brought the review down to 3 stars. #2 -presentation : It looked appetizing. #3-price: $13.75 is top end for me for Eggs Benedict. Coffee for $3 a cup is pushing it. My wife had a regular breakfast (she said it was okay) I also had their B & G (which was very good) Now with all that said, negative and positive, it is a friendly sports bar with lots of TVs and good times. To me it is not a "breakfast place" unless you like "bloody Mary's". That seems to...

This place is always packed and it's easy to see why. G Mig's is just your average Sports Bar that happens to have incredibly good food.

Finding a spot to sit for 2 or more has been a challenge every time we go, but other guests help accommodate. Everyone tries to be polite in the tight quarters and they make it work. I've never had a bad experience and this tends to be the place we hit up when we have some extra time (see above: place is always busy!) to chill. For dinner try the chicken nachos (I took a pic to taunt my nachos loving sister with they are so good!) We are usually there on weekends for brunch. They don't do a special or have any kind of buffet, but with their version of eggs benedict and some orange juice you're pretty well set. The place is close quarters, for sure, and though they tend to seem a bit understaffed I don't know that they could fit another moving body in that place. Staff seems to be doing a complicated dance around furniture, patrons, and each other, but I've never seen a spill. A bustling local pub that does what they do very well. Great place to grab a bite. Word of warning: Parking sucks in Valley Junction! This place is...
