Hessen Haus is a hidden gem right in Des Moines! 🥨 I visited with friends for lunch and was immediately charmed by the cozy, historic vibe. The Bavarian ham and cheese on a pretzel roll was phenomenal and paired perfectly with their crispy fries. We also indulged in some delicious nachos!

The service was impressively fast and friendly, making our visit even more enjoyable. I loved browsing their extensive beer selection as we savored every bite.

Next time, I’ll definitely try their famous pretzels! 🍻 Don't miss this place for an authentic German feast!
