I've visited '85 Bar West several times and have always had great service and food! There are some great vegetarian-friendly options, and the appetizers are delish (hellooooo spinach and artichoke dip). The presentation of the tin can nachos is so fun, and the cocktail menu is full of options for every palate. Plenty of fruity choices for my fellow sweet drink fans. Top it off with a friendly staff and unique decor, and it was the perfect atmosphere! Went for the food, stayed for the mood :)
Drink - I got the one with egg whites in it (forgetting the name now) it was delicious. Appetizer - spinach Artichoke dip absolutely delicious. My husband thought it had too much spinach. Boneless creamy parmesean wings were also delicious, great flavor. Mini beer - super fun and tasty drink. Chicago dog - absolutely perfect! The 85 fries were unique, they're a little softer than I typically like my fries but still delicious.
Best new bar / restaurant on the west side metro hands down! Always AMAZING service, delicious food (make sure you go try their wings, their BLT, and the Chicago Dog are all !), and great daily specials. A definite all around great atmosphere as well whether you are Bears fan or not 100% recommend 85 Bar West, so glad they opened this in Waukee! They also just started brunch on weekends and the French toast was amaze! Go support this business!
Amazing food and experience! This is not your typical sports bar. This is some of the best food in the area! Id say this burger is my favorite burger in the entire state of Iowa. The wings were so good, so i inquired and they bake them first then fry them! They were unbelievable make sure to get the Honey Garlic! Come in and try this food asap you wont regret it !
Loved this place! As Chicago people it was so fun to have a piece of home here. The food was also delicious! Had the power bowl, cheese curds, donuts and Chicago dog
We went here yesterday after a wrestling tournament in Waukee, we wanted something close to the school and picked here. This place didn't disappoint. Cute sports bar - we aren't bears fans, but this was a fun atmosphere and love the decorations! Everything on the menu sounded delicious. We ordered the 85 Signature Burger with ruffle fries (which were so good), the Italian Stacker, the Smothered Burger, kids chicken fingers, and kids' cheeseburger. The only complaint would be that the kid's meals were 8 - seems a little high for kids but they loved the food. The ranch was great too! We will definitely be back.
Fairly new Chicago Bears themed sports bar in Waukee. We dined in on a Saturday and enjoyed their all-day specials. The food was delicious and a great price! It's hard to find good specials on the weekend. Service was perfect, met all our needs. Building is set off from the road, located on the end of a strip of businesses, so it has a shared parking lot.
Went for lunch today with my family after church. It was our first time eating here and it was amazing. Everyone had a burger and it was done to perfection. By far the best burger I've had in a long time, and the best I've found in Waukee. The atmosphere was inviting and the service was good which made it amazing. We can't wait to come back. Please let your cook know it was Fantastic.
