Went here for brunch this Saturday and it was delightful. I loved the Bloody Mary, and I also had the brisket breakfast burrito. It was pretty solid after adding on some hot sauce! The environment was super cozy and I love the little fish sculpture out front.

Meet some friends for brunch. Waitress was very good and the atmosphere was pretty relaxed. The decor is fun to look at and enjoyed the various state license plates. Food came out quick and was very good. We will be back and thanks for taking care of us while we were on the road.

Excellent spot for unique breakfast dishes. Cinnamon roll pancakes. Seafood hash with Swiss cheese. The food was excellent. On Saturday morning we had to wait an hour but we toured downtown Des Moines while we waited. I like the 80s music they play. My only complaint is the music was a little loud.

Mullets was a great spot for breakfast and under 20 for a meal which was awesome. They have a great view of downtown and the Capitol building. The waitresses and bartender were really nice too and answered my questions about the area.
