According to the Urban dictionary, a Limey is:
a British person, term coming from sailors who came to the New World preventing scurvy from sucking limes. The term is indigenous to North America.
Since I've been assured it's not a derogatory term, I think it's a fitting name for an English pub in West Des Moines. It's located off of Grand ave in the Hy-vee plaza near The Chicken Coop. ![]() Limey's is the kind of place you can come hang out with friends, have a drink and cut the alcohol with some some really good, not-your-average bar food. The menu includes staples like fish & chips and shepherds pie. On our last visit, I ordered the shepherds pie and it was very tasty. I would have appreciated a little more seasoning in the potatoes, but the meat mixture was really good. A friend ordered the pictured chicken sandwich and really liked that too. The hit of the table was the thin and crispy onion rings which were enough for 5 to share. Our server was very friendly and was happy to give his opinion about what was good on the menu. I really liked this casual, no frills pub. Head over with friends to hang out and get a beer or to try the unique menu. |
