Limey's


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 certainly not an elegant, bring your mom for her birthday-type restaurant, but the food is noteworthy and the beer selection is very good. (Unless of course your mom really likes Guinness and playing pool, then this is the place for her =).

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.
