Truman's Kc Pizza Tavern - Des Moines

Fortunate enough to show up after the lunch crowd. Waitress was very pleasant and patient (so many options) and accommodated our request to try samples of the pizza sauces, which paired well with what might have been the best fried cheeseballs I've everhad. Even the leftovers were great the following day. Looking forward to trying their breakfast.

Truman?s is a favorite of mine especially since I?m a huge KC Royals fan. The pizza is delicious as are the sandwiches and entrees. The beer is always cold and flowing. Staff is incredibly friendly and makes you feel like you?re at home. The bar isbuilt out of an old house so lots of rustic charm found within. TVs everywhere, and lots of patio space. Only downside is smallparking lot, so be prepared to parallel park if it?s busy. Wholeheartedly recommend.

Me and my girlfriend had been down to Truman?s last week for a dinner, first time here. We were greeted by a sign that says to find a server to be seated, which we couldn?t find any after entering the building. We asked the nice bartender for directionson if we should sit ourselves or wait, she said go ahead and wait. We made our way to one of the patios where another family wasfinishing their meals. We sat and waited to be greeted, as multiple of the employees passed by cleaning and finishing the othertable, no big deal. After 15 minutes passed with no server or anyone to greet, I debated leaving but I gave the benefit of thedoubt. Fast foreword another 20 minutes still nobody. we decided to sit inside which we didn?t want to do, but did anyways. Tookroughly another 10 minutes to be greeted by a hostess. Total of more than 45 minutes to even get drinks and there was nobodyinside of the restaurant, only the opposite patio. Food was good, and once we actually got service the service was good. A bitirritating on how long we waited considering how slow it was. Will probably not return unfortunately because of this.

We shared a 22 inch French dip pizza. Pizza was good and fed the two of us and a box to go.

Delicious pizza, at least those I tried, French bath. The waitress was friendly and the service was good. Bummer was not available today.
