What David Hoffman doesn't like about Waveland Cafe In Des Mo:
10-10:30am. The place was packed and did manage to get a table. Waitress was never able to serve us. We move to an available booth (without them knowing? Still was not able to get service. Like I said, the place was packed, and maybe the 3 staff members that were there, was just so overwhelmed maybe they were not prepared for being so busy. Ended up the Ankeny Diner. What Joan Lundquist likes about Waveland Cafe In Des Mo:
This is an awesome breakfast diner/cafe. 3 of us all had something different, and it was all great. (Eggs over crispy hash browns, pancakes (very flavorful), side of gravy . Loved View all feedback.

In this big city is a place that feels like a small town cafe… Waveland Cafe. It has great food, awesome staff and a feel of nostalgia.
