Mickey's Irish Pub

I've eaten here many times and was never disappointed. One of the few places left on planet Earth that doesn't charge a cover fee when they have live music. Friendly staff and a wonderful atmosphere. It's our "go to" when we are in Waukee.

All in all a really good place. The smothered fries were amazing, as was the cheese bread.  We had good service, couldn't really ask for more.  Only negative things were flies flying around (we sat close to the door maybe?), and the burger was drier than I wanted...

Have eaten here more than a dozen times.  Service has been pretty good on all but a couple occasions.  A few good beers on tap and a nice selection of bottled beer.  The food quality is certainly adequate, not outstanding, but not bad either.  Had Nachos show up cold a couple times.  Menu is your typical US pub food, burgers, wraps, sandwiches, wings, nachos, pizza, etc.  Burgers are decent, and the Paco Pork Sandwich is good.

At some point in the future (if they put more emphasis on food quality) I could see this going up to a 4 star rating.  

If you are hungry and want to stay in Waukee proper, I'd say go ahead, you should have a decent meal.
