Went in for the first time and it was worth the wait! The service was outstanding! The food was mouthwatering! The atmosphere was calm, cool, & collected! Just moved downtown and this will definitely be a popular spot for a good time!

Went with friends for dinner on a weekend. It was busy but not crowded. We were seated quickly. The menu has a nice selection with descriptions. I ordered the pretzel bites, the corn fritters, and the turkey club. Everything was really good. I really enjoyed all of it. The corn fritters were flavorful. The sandwich was meaty, and the pretzel bites were chewy. Recommended.

Stopped here for lunch. It was a lovely place. Great lighting. Perfect location in downtown. Not too busy and the food was delicious. Fresh and quality ingredients. Served wasn’t the most friendly but got the job done.

Splendid, the exuberant tastes melt my tounge. My indulgence of the Vegan Quesadilla was out of this world, the zesty vegan ranch was a delight, I tell you. I recommend anyone of any rankings, from peasant to ruler, to indulge in this fine establishment. Jolly good show!

The walnut was very welcoming, and very well thought out. We sat at the bar and was greeted by the bartender Ben, he was a very outgoing and social young man that clearly loves what he does.
The menu was very simple and easy to understand. We ordered a burger basket, and a house salad with chicken and avocado. Within 10 minutes, our food was fresh and delivered in front of us. Very satisfied with both meals, a nice touch was the cheese on top of the fries.
The beer was so good I had to take a picture of it. Five cities bikini bottom is a wheat beer with a splash of pineapple, definitely one of my new favorite beers.
If you’re visiting Des Moines, or one of the locals, this is definitely a nice spot to have a drink or some good food.

This is my second time here. The first time was in 2021. Great food, both times! I highly recommend the mahi tacos and cold soba noodle salad! Amazing happy hour deals and daily specials! Really, please check them out! The staff was hilarious both times. Great ambience!

Had read about this place and drove by it several times before getting the opportunity to eat there this past Summer.
My wife and I decided to order several appetizers so that we could experience more on the menu. We ordered the Loco Moco (see picture) on the waiter’s recommendation and really enjoyed it! The hamburger, gravy and egg combination were great together. We also ordered the Chipotle Chicken Tacos (see picture) – which we thoroughly enjoyed and would also recommend.
If you are in the area, I highly recommend this place for their unique menu items. You won’t regret stopping by to give it a try.

Ordered beer and appetizers. Loved the atmosphere and had great staff. I ordered a tall IPA according to the menu & price but only received a normal glass. Asked the waitress why and she said the brewery set the prices, but it doesn’t make sense why I still didn’t receive a 16oz beer when that’s what the menu said. Otherwise all of it was delicious. The food was awesome and there were lots of local brews, which I really appreciated. A nice amount of seating and TV’s to watch football on!

Omg! As someone that travels the world and takes pride in trying wings in every city that I can, I must say, the chimichurri dry rub wings are some of the best I’ve ever had. I love trying different and unique Wings. And these definitely were that. There’s no way to really describe the flavor other than full of some amazing herbs, and of course, butter. The wings were cooked for perfection. They were juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Totally wingasmic! And I will certainly rate them a 10 on my blog! I also tried the garlic mac and cheese. OMG that was amazing. Their food is freshly cooked there and not just sysco preheated stuff. Their ranch dressing and blue cheese was homemade and amazing. I even tried some of my friends’ garlic fries, and wow! Our server, I believe her name was Tonna, was absolutely over the top amazing. I would certainly come to this place again when I’m here.

We recently held our Company holiday party at The Walnut. Couldn’t be any happier. Ben did a great job with accommodating our requests, the food was outstanding and I can compliment the staff enough! Great job all the way around and we will be going back!
