Went in at around 2pm on a Sunday afternoon. It was steady, but the food was super fast. It is a hybrid between fast food style ordering and diner style eating. Amazing smash burgers.

Mediocre burgers are everywhere these days and it’s amazing how so many eateries don’t get it and get away with it. Now and then a place shows up to put other burger joints on notice and smiles on the palates of burger lovers who wanted more than what was being offered before. LFFs has a simple game plan and they seem to have a good base of decent employees that are on the same page when it comes to customer service. You order when entering and then wait for a seat. Once seated your just minutes away from a mouth watering experience your sure to enjoy. LFFs gets it and they enjoy what they do as it shows on every burger coming off the grill.

Wow ! What a delicious jem. Very possibly the best burgers in Des Moines !!! Fries were hot, fresh and crispy. Hashbrowns were a home run.

I have had this gem on my bucket list of restaurants to try since the photos started being posted. I’ve silently been watch, waiting until I could make it out. I came all the way to Des Moines, IA from Kansas City just to visit Lachele’s and I promise it was more than worth it. Before you even walk in the door for indoor dining you see a gaggle of people outside waiting for their to-go orders. (There is a super convenient to-go window right to the left of the front door to help alleviate crowing indoors) The moment you walk in the door you are greeted by what seems like everyone inside with a cheerful, “hey! Welcome in”. Immediately you feel welcomed. I ordered the Lachele burger with spiced tots and my friend ordered the yogi burger with fries (not pictured because we were too excited to eat). From the quickness of the service to the cleanliness of the restaurant, you can tell they take pride in every detail. The vibe from the music, to the bar seats and the 50s modernized look, I was so excited to be there. Every customer in the place was a return customers and fans (they couldn’t stop asking for the lachele stickers). The food was mouthwatering delicious. Perfectly juicy, flavored and heat. And last but certainly not least, the service was amazing. Everyone was so kind and always (but not overly) checking in to make sure your visit was everything you needed it to be. This is a place I will be traveling back to. The details make the difference! Props.

Best burgers in Des Moines! Smash style- definitely recommend getting a second patty. Small, clean venue with gender neutral bathrooms, great staff, fast service and BOMB food and drink selection. Thanks for a great experience! Ask for the garlic aioli sauce

I have heard a lot about this place, like it has the best cheeseburgers in Des Moines, so I had to try it for myself. There was a group of 6 of us eating so we tried calling ahead to get a reservation. Nobody ever answered the phone, I even sent a text directly to the restaurant but never heard back. The place was so crowded that our group decided to eat somewhere else. However, on the way home we stopped and ordered something to go. I got the Lachele burger with spicy tots. The burger was good. I liked how the meat was on the bun. It had crispy edges but still was a little juicy. The burger was a little dryer than I liked as I wish they would have put more sauce on it and the spicy tots were really spicy at all. I will be going back as there are other menu items I want to try.

Visited for the first time on a whim this summer because of the reviews here—and now I’m a proud regular. This place deserves all of its accolades. The burgers are creative but approachable, fun, and almost impossibly delicious. All are available with a meatless patty, which earned my praise.The staff are incredibly kind, and they’ve made their petite space feel like home. The atmosphere is cool, uniquely cozy, and doesn’t take itself too seriously. Lachele’s is definitely a little edgy, independent and divey (without ever feeling manufactured) yet impeccably clean. Sometimes it can look like seating is hard to come by, but tables turn around quick, and the team is incredibly accommodating. This place is my idea of a perfect comfort food restaurant—hats off to the team for being masterful at the art of curating atmosphere, customer service, and excellent food.
