Club Car Restaurant & Lounge- Clive

The food was ok. Got the onion rings, and those were top-notch. I chose something I normally don't get. But I decided on the Rarebit burger, which is a burger topped with cheddar cheese rarebit sauce. Served open-faced on a ciabatta bun. It didn't really spark a wow factor. I probably won't order it again. Our server was friendly and checked in many times. So great service.

We tried Club Car out as a family because a few of us are GF and they seemed to have a good GF menu. We had a group of six adults and a child, and were seated right away. Our table was in line of the door, so it was a little chilly each time it was opened. Our server Abby was great! We had an egg allergy as well, and she checked on a few items for us with a smile on her face. They seemed pretty busy while we were there, but we had full waters and food came out fairly timely. Overall the food was good, but nothing I was craving to have again. It was my mother-in-law’s birthday and they gave her a free dessert which was kind! I would go back if I was in the area and try some other meals, but wouldn’t go out of my way.

We were in Des Moines for just a day and randomly picked Club Car Restaurant and Lounge for lunch. We were so glad we did. We love to try different and locally owned businesses. It is a very comfortable relaxed atmosphere. I know this sounds corn but it has a family vibe. It was busy for lunch, but we were seated immediately at a comfortable booth. Our server was friendly and attentive. My husband had the lunch special which was a barbecue chicken sandwich with bacon. He loved it. I had the Cuban Sandwich and I ate every last bite. We both ordered the potatoe salad as our side and it was home made and delicious.

This place will give you the feeling of fancy 80s and 90s. The marinara was very good. Desserts were delicious. Many gluten-free options. The server was very attentive but seemed unnecessarily rushed. His words implied an intention to provide high-level service, but the service experience was more like a really impressive Applebee's that was understaffed due to the rushing.

My wife, child, and I visited on Saturday, July 30th close to 8pm and was welcomed as soon as we walked in the door. We were seated right away and was greeted by our waitress, Megan, almost immediately. She was very friendly and informative. Megan even gave us some great suggestions to try and we were not disappointed with anything we tried! I would give this place more stars if I could. It really was a great place and we will definitely be visiting more in the very near future. For an appetizer, we got the Bacon Wrapped BBQ Shrimp Kabob. It was perfectly cooked and had the perfect amount of BBQ sauce to accommodate the flavor of the shrimp and the bacon. The bacon was tender with the right amount of crisp. The bed of rice I was skeptical of it until I tried it and even it had the right moisture and flavor to make it go well with the kabob. I wish I ordered two of those it was that delicious! For dinner, we ordered the Beef Stroganoff, the Vegetarian Pasta, and the Cajun Seafood Pasta. For our son, we ordered the hamburger and fries from the kids menu. Everything was cooked to perfection! The Cajun Seafood Pasta had just enough spice to make it both flavorful and enjoyable without any afterburn. Every plate was presented very professionally and I have provided pictures to show. This was an hour before they closed and the food was just as fresh as it would have been coming in right when they open. All of these plates came to just over $65. The pricing and quality is well worth the visit!

I have always heard good things about Club Car and finally stopped in for an appetizer and some cocktails. I had no idea thia place could accommodate so many and had a pretty solid menu. From our experience we would return for dinner again sometime soon. The bartender was friendly, the cocktails were good, and the food was tasty. We will be back and I recommend you give it a chance if you haven't.

I’m traveling across the country and trying food at all different types of restaurants and I have to say this has been one of the best experiences. Aaron and Melissa are two employees that any owner would want to have on their team. Incredibly personable staff members who know how to engage in rich conversation and make the guest feel like they’re having a genuine experience. The food was outstanding, I had Mac and cheese with sausage (Melissa’s suggestion), as well as a BBQ quesadilla. My only regret is not living in the area so I could enjoy this establishment on a regular basis.
