Good Eatins' (Southern Soul Food) at Good Eatins' in Des Moines, IA on Friday, May 29, 2026.
5418 Douglas Ave, across from the Dairy Queen (used to be Wasabi Chi) Good Eatins restaurant This is a new restaurant in the past year with a limited website, so I'm including food reviews for some context. It states that most meals are $15 with two sides, The food review group has had several people give it a good thumbs up, so thought we would try it. Dining area closes at 7 p.m. FYI They do a banging take out business. REVIEW #1: "Our daughter turned 17 this week and she wanted to go to the restaurant called Good Eatins. We called before hand and had our tabled already ready for us. Check it out! The food was great and came out super fast. The staff were patient and helpful. Pretty much everything is $15 for the meals - comes with 2 sides. The 2 meat meal you pick any meat on the menu and 2 sides for $23 (in the picture is meatballs, rotisserie chicken with a side of mac&cheese and spaghetti, my husband got catfish and wings for the 2 meats). Our 9 year old got the catfish and loved it with 2 sides of mac and cheese lol. The 11 year old just picked a side of mac and cheese ($4) and he said it was the best mac& cheese he has ever had. Our daughter in the picture has turkey strips with corn bread and another side I can't remember but it was a huge plate of food could of been a shareable plate. REVIEW #2: We tried Good Eatin’s Southern Food last night. We went shortly after 5 PM so I figured we’d be able to get in and out quickly. However, it took a while for them to bring out our food. It would have been nice if they brought out the appetizer first, but they brought everything out together. The food was amazing. We had the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls, which were to die for. I had the catfish with macaroni & cheese and potato salad. It was soooo good! My husband had chicken wings with the jalapeño corn and collard greens and said it was very good and filling. We were so full we couldn’t try dessert. Portions were 100%!!!…
