    The woman working here today is so helpful. The calories are not listed and she was willing to print a sheet out. She also came up with low calorie options. Very friendly and accurate with the order

    They're good, except when they're Made Wrong.

    This is sort of like the Des Moines version of a sloppy joe. One of the few foods that is famously Iowan along with the much more impressive pork tenderloin sandwich. Maid-Rite is a local staple so when you are in town you absolutely have to try it.

    I've been hearing about it every time I came to IA since as long as I can remember. This one inside the mall is perfectly fine. Wait time is nominal. Service was iffy. The product was probably around three stars but it gets bumped up to 4 because of low prices and because it is the tradition and I support traditions.

    I love maid-rite! I usually only eat at Taylor's in Marshalltown but on the way back down I-80 I decided to stop in at the mall to eat. I saw this Maid-Rite I never knew was here! This young man greeted me almost immediately he talked a bit fast but nailed my ordered almost perfectly. I did not even get my drink filled and my order was already finished in under 30 seconds. The food was hot and fresh very, very tasty fries must have been fresh out of the fryer because they were almost to hot to eat, for a non Taylor's Maid-Rite the sandwich was pretty good. If i am ever back in the Merle hay area again I would definitely eat here again.
