We stopped by Made-Rite and overall, it was okay. I had the mega and cheese sticks. The burger was decent—nothing standout, but it got the job done for a quick bite. As much as I’ve heard about maid rite, I thought it was going to be special. The cheese sticks were crispy and hot, but again, pretty standard. Service was quick and the place had a classic diner vibe (for a mall), but the food didn’t quite wow us. It’s a convenient stop if you’re nearby, but not something we’d go out of our way for.

I was so excited when we went to Des Moines and my son told me that they had Maid-Rite near where we were. So we went there and the food was delicious the person waiting on us was so so nice. And I went and thanked her after I was done eating and I explained that the majority in Cedar Rapids is closed so I was so excited to see this one. And she said next time you’re in Des Moines make sure that you come see us. That was so

Nothing beats a classic maid-rite. Meat was so full of flavor! Service gal was amazing bubbly & polite! Great experience!

Brought a friend for his first time maid rite experience. Cashier was friendly and took our order quickly. Guy preparing the food took a couple minutes to get started because he was on his phone, guess he decided to save time by not washing his hands in between, gross. Food was good, hot, large portion. Left both a cash and suggestion tip (All the germs that go from your face to your phone to your hands to the food can be removed if you’ll just wash your hands properly between the phone and the food prep)

I hadn’t been to a Maid Rite in several years and was really looking forward to an original Maid Rite sandwich. The recipe seems to have changed over the years. It tastes more
Like a sloppy Joe now. And not a great sloppy Joe at that. It wasn’t bad, but it was far from great. Or even real good for that matter. There is no sign outside, and there is no atmosphere to speak of inside.
But the service was great and the staff was friendly.

Bryan at the Maid Rite in the Mall in Des Moines provided us with stellar customer service! And his food tasted great. My wife’s first taste of Maid Rite was a the best I could ask for.

Average at best. Went cuz of the triple D episode. Gotta say, not worth it. Kids working could’ve cared less we were there. Was total fast food, not a foodie experience. I’m a chef, and I know it could’ve been so much better. At least the chili fries were decent. Idk why they say baskets in the food recommendations section, they’re were none when we were there! It’s five guys but just a little less money
