Sunset Lounge in Iowa

"The daily cheese flight is worth checking out! On this visit I had their chili, chicken noodle, and bacon cheeseburger soups. All were hearty and delicious."

"Have been coming here every sunday at open since i moved to norwalk. Cherese is a amazing bar keep who also develops amazing fresh homemade soups. Sunsets menu has gotten bigger over the year and everything is amazing on the menu. Drinks are poured perfectly and everyone that works there is friendly and professional while be lighthearted and fun."

"Never a dull moment when we're there. Service is top notch and the food has been outstanding. I will drive out of my way to stop in for lunch. Very welcoming crew."

"Amazing people here, food was outstanding and the environment was cozy! You will like this place!"

"Tucked away in a newly developed strip mall is the Sunset Lounge where you can order a very tasty smash-burger called “Sunset Smash.” The pure beef was seasoned well with crispy edges topped with fresh veggies and a special sauce. The American Cheese cascaded over the entire entree flowing over a house made well proportioned bun. Travis—on Tuesdays— Bartender connoisseur— was full of helpful trivia related to the establishment and serving up info on the very tasty appetizers, popular dishes and made a fruity mocktail that exuded freshness. The curated decor has bar top stools and high top tables ( only) for seating with a half dozen screened TVs. The minimalist menu included appetizers and sandwiches with an extensive drink menu from cocktails, mocktails to beers. The dim lit atmosphere emits a quiet conversational tone where you can collect your thoughts while listening to soft music in the background. Needing a place to get in check with your thoughts try this community gathering place — the menu prices are reasonable for this up and coming area and parking in the back is close to the back entrance."

"I hate to leave an outstanding review and more people discover this delightful little dive bar. The hardest working staff youll ever meet. Great food. Great drinks for the price. Great place to meet new friends. I havent met an unfriendly person yet and we try and go there once a week. When I drive by it, it makes me smile. Parking is weird but it keeps the riff raff out."

"Sweet Neighborhood bar. Loved the Christmas decorations. I had the bacon cheeseburger SOUP with an appetizer of deviled eggs and it was fantastic. Service was Great and the Kitchen was speedy."

"If you are ever in Norwalk Iowa ( just south of the Des Moines airport) or in the vicinity, do your tastebuds a favor and stop in at the Sunset Lounge on the main strip of Sunset ( Hwy28) in Norwalk Iowa and have a Sunset Smash! This massive two Pattie burger is prepared with two perfectly charred smash burgers, cheese, pickle, lettuce and sunset sauce, all served on a toasted bun which may have been brioche but to be honest I’m not sure bc we were in a mission to get this recommended burger and didn’t even look at the menu! It’s served with your choice of thick cut fries perfectly fried or delicious macaroni salad (just like Grandmas)or coleslaw. We had the macaroni salad and fries with our burgers. Most of the tables are high top tables with bar height stools. No kids allowed, which surprised me since they serve food, but honestly it’s nice to be at a restaurant without children every once in a while. The playlist consisted of country favorites, disco, and some 80’s thrown in! I enjoyed every song. This is definitely a lounge so there are tv’s on most of the walls so you don’t miss out on your favorite sports event. The service was also quick and informative! I believe it’s a relatively new restaurant in an older building that was remodeled and updated. Years ago half of it used to be the towns Subway. I look for this place to be a runner if not the winner of the Best burger contest! You won’t be sorry if you make the treck there!"
