804 Main Bar & Grill

Very unassuming — don’t pass this place up. Great service — very quick and attentive! Great food — again it was quick and tasty.
Would be easy to miss this place — don’t let it happen.
Service is unmatched and worth the trip!

Despite a bad experience with a server the owner stepped in and handled our «after the kitchen closed» to go order with all the professionalism you would want from a local businessman who takes his reputation seriously. Good food food place to hang.

I expect better, even if it just a bar. To be fair, they’ve done a great job remodeling the place and it is much better than what it was before. There’s plenty of seating and quite a few TV’s on the wall so you can watch a few different things, which is nice. The bar has a great selection of beers and they do well when making their drinks. The staff is always friendly and with the exception of our recent visit, very attentive.
The food… that’s the bad part. The menu is fairly limited to bar food, and even then there isn’t much of a variety. Even more disappointing than the variety is the quality. Nothing I’ve had there has been more than «ok». Our most recent trip was an extreme disappointment. Wanting to try something new, I got the baked spaghetti for $ 11 (which comes with 2 pieces of garlic bread) and paid an extra $ 2 to add some pepperoni. 45 minutes after ordering (and not getting the appetizer that we ordered) my spaghetti came out. It was in a bowl that reminded me of an oversized coffee mug. I paid $ 13 for $.30 worth of pasta and $.50 worth of sauce and cheese AND had to wait 45 minutes for it on a night when there were only a few patrons in the entire place. To top it off, it was somewhat bland.
Norwalk is growing and I’m hoping there will be more options available in the future. It’s disappointing to think that our limited dining options are average or subpar. A little more effort and this place could do really well. In the meantime, we’ll be going elsewhere.

Best burgers in the Des Moines area!

A large group of us came here on a Monday night. Street parking is your best option and there’s not a ton of it. The inside was larger than I anticipated and had everything you need for a bar. There’s TVs playing sports, a large bar, a couple booths, other tables, and a pool table in the back.
We didn’t all arrive at the same time so orders were taken at different times, which was expected. I don’t think our waiter smiled once the entire time. He would approach us but just didn’t seem to care much. A lot of the group ordered a burger of some kind and they seemed to enjoy them. I ordered the Philly Cheesesteak and waffle fries. The Philly was good. I really enjoyed eating it. The waffle fries were another story. They were either really really crispy or so hard I could barely bite through them. I ate maybe five and stopped. The regular fries (crinkle cut) that others got looked better. The onion rings at a table behind us looked even better.
I will give this place another shot as the sandwich was good, the atmosphere is good, and maybe the waiter will smile next time!
