Geez, this is like Rick Scott making a big deal about Wawa coming to Florida.
Really, Rick? Another convenience store chain? Gosh, we don't have any of those....

I'd say it's over priced rather than overrated. Now In and Out burger is overrated.
Great. Another reason for Iowa women to go from obese to morbidly obese.
Yeah, because I'm sure all the Iowa guys are svelte studs.

Lived in KC for a couple years and had access to Five Guys. It's decent, but nothing to get excited over. Personally I thought it was way over priced.
Taking everything into account, B-Bops is better via price point. Five Guys does give you a lot more options as far as toppings go though.
I live across the street from Zombie Burger though, so If I want a solid burger I don't really stray too far anymore.
The grease is what makes it good! However, they are expensive for a burger chain.
Not really impressed with Wawa.
Lots of convenience stores in Florida have co-branded food operations within their stores. A Wawa hogie is six inches at best and costs around $5.
You can get a five dollar footlong at a Subway located in a Kangaroo convenience store.
It's fantastic here for food options. Probably going to walk down to Tacopocalypse tomorrow morning for some biscuits and gravy ;D
With all due respect, F you. They said months ago they were opening one in Coralville, but nothing has opened yet. I was supposed to drive over to Des Moines to hit Tacopocalypse and wander around Bass Pro Shop today, but one of the kids is sick.
I'm sure it will happen. Dude really seems to jump the gun a bit when it comes to timelines. Krunkwich took way longer to open up here than what was advertised, and that was just down the street. I get it though, I was in the kitchen world for a number of years and a lot of crap just pops up that you don't anticipate.
FYI, head over to Krunkwich on your next Des Moines stop and get some Kimchi Tots - They sound weird, but are so freaking good.
Extremely greasy and way over-priced. $12+ for burger/fries/coke. Music inside so loud you can't hear the person next to you. Will never go back.
I would rather go to the dairy queen.
Wow, this place must like you. They jumped all over me when I suggested something like this. You're right though, just another greasy chain fast food place coming to Des Moines.
Would you like some day old donuts with your beer and smokes? How about a brat with your bananas and orange juice?
F that place.
Didn't know Tacopocalypse did breakfast. Might have to try it but I've done lunch there twice with 2 different groups totaling around 15-18 people and not a single person thought it lived up to the hype.
Zombie burger? More of my friends/family like it than Tacopocalypse but still more than half (including myself) view it too as someplace that is overhyped/overrated. ZB seems to have an certain demographic following. Most people still in their 20s like it but most over 30 recognize it for what it really is.
Granted...these 2 places are convenient if you live in the East Village.
Gotta agree with H Prime. QT is IMO the best convenience store. Love Casey's pizza and I own Casey's stock but overall neither Casey's nor K&G can come close to QT.
