places in clive for lunch

[CYVADER]

looking for a new spot. use to live in johnston, moved away, but still go back to des moines a couple times a year. we always used to hit stellas up for 1 lunch when we were down, but i see that it is closed now. the food wasn't the best, but it was kind of a fun and different place to go.


what i'm looking for is something not real expensive, but something either really good or a place that's a little different then your everyday restaurant.

not a chain restaruant preferably.

Monterrey is a good Mexican place just a couple of doors down from Babies 'R' Us. Also, there is Cool Basil a couple of more doors down if you like Thai/Sushi.

Red rosa pizza is really good. Shanes ribshack is a better version of famous dave's IMO. Both are in the strip mall area on 128th and university by the new healthy living center YMCA

Noodle Zoo on Westown Parkway. They have awesome sandwiches/soup/salad/pasta for lunch.

Granite City

I always like the Club Car.

I'll second that. Nick's is also a good bet, although I don't know if they are open for lunch or not.

I agree on the Club Car.
Used to work at the Wells across the street and we'd hit the Club Car often.
I was glad to have discovered it.

Nick's is open for lunch and I like their food.

Thank you for this!!!!
Im an Italian sandwich nut!
I never knew this place had a deli. And I only recently even noticed it was there at all.
There was a thread a few months ago where everyone was discussing a great place to get a sandwich, and no one bothered to mention this place!
Ill be checking this out as soon as possible.

I love their Italian hogies. Be prepared to wait for a few min though, they get backed up around lunchtime but it is worth the wait.

What part of Clive? Near the eastern edge of the city, I like Buffet City and Monterrey. Near the west side, I like granite city, and trostil's dish.

Z'mariks Noodle Cafe in the same strip mall is good too.

Great Harvest Bread. Phenomenal sandwiches.

My buddy and I used to always go to Rookies but we worked in Waukee. Great chx wrap and stromboli.

Glad to see the Club Car still going, I liked it the couple times I was there.
There was a bar on Hickman at the east side of town that had great bar food but I completely forget the name now. Just east of 86th a bit before you get down the hill.
+1 on Cool Basil and Monterey as well.
