Iowa Beef Steak House	Des Moines, IA
The food is great here. Of course, if it isn't, you have no one to blame but yourself.

Of course, if it isn't, you have no one to blame but yourself. This is where you come when showing just your family how bad of a chef you really are just isn't enough anymore. :) All kidding aside, good place to go if you know what you are doing behind a grill. less
Okoboji Grill	Des Moines, IA
Average food. Feels like a local Applebees, but with a little more Iowa feel to it. Definatley do not attend during the karoke hours.

Feels like a local Applebees, but with a little more Iowa feel to it. Definatley do not attend during the karoke hours. I am not sure when all they plan these events, but stay clear unless you have an iron-clad stomach. There ought to be a law that doesn't allow gut-wrentching music (no offense) around public eating facilites. Otherwise, a farily quaint establishment. less
Hilltop Pizza & Restaurant	Des Moines, IA
Great place to kick back with some buddies if you aren't into the whole DSM bar scene. I usually go there with some pals after softball, and throw down a few pitchers along with some onion rings. And also play lots of pool. Nice and laid back.
Drake Diner	Des Moines, IA
Never have liked any of the diners in this area, north side, broadway, valley west, and drake. They all have the same overpriced food that you could get at any village inn around this town.

They all have the same overpriced food that you could get at any village inn around this town. The wait is usually too long, and apparently they feel that there niche is in the 50's scene. Well, in the 50's, you didn't have to wait 30 minutes for a table, and another 30 min for your food. Very poor in my opinion. less
Noah's Ark Ristorante	Des Moines, IA
Marjorie is the best of the wait staff, but the food is rather bland, and the atmosphere is very dark and uninviting. Like being in an mob movie, but 30 years too late.

Like being in an mob movie, but 30 years too late. Apparently, there have been some health concerns as of late, so I would try another rest if I were you. less
Scornovacca's Pizza North	Des Moines, IA
Pizza is OK by DSM standards. They have and excellent meatball sandwhich, and the rest of their sandwhich menu is very good as well. Great lunch place, or a nice take out dinner for two. The atmosphere of this Scorno's isn't as nice as the one on SE ... more Pizza is OK by DSM standards. They have and excellent meatball sandwhich, and the rest of their sandwhich menu is very good as well. Great lunch place, or a nice take out dinner for two. The atmosphere of this Scorno's isn't as nice as the one on SE 14th. The North side joint has kind of a truck driver feel to it. Never-the-less, worth at least a sample less
George the Chili King	Des Moines, IA
Being that I recently started a new excersize program at a local gym, this place is obviously not on my most health conscious list.

But, if you are in the mood to splurge, and have a hankerin' for some grease, this is the absolute best tasting chilli dog in the metro. Now, that I have said that, I am getting kind of hungry for greasy food. This rabbit food is killing me. Long live the chilli king. less
Broadway Diner	Des Moines, IA

The only reason that I like this one better, is because it's closer to my house, so I have less time to be angry during the car ride home for the crummy service, and overpriced, average tasting food. Guess I am just not a big Diner fan. Also takes to long to get your food. Nothing is more outraging than a restaurant with 4 other people in it, and it still takes 20 minutes to get a hamburger. less
Great American Buffet & Family	Urbandale, IA
Another Buffet, but a new twist this time. They are touting this as the "international buffet". That must be so you can taste a multitude of really awful food from all different nationalities at one restaurant.

That must be so you can taste a multitude of really awful food from all different nationalities at one restaurant. I hope they close this place down and soon. My wife's family loves buffets, and they love chinese food, so this place is a must for them, but I cry whenever they tell me that's where we are going. (Because I know I will end up having a PB&J Sandwhich later on just to fill up) Never ever go here.!!!! less
Mulligan's Restaurant & Pub	Urbandale, IA
Have only ordered the appetizers here, but they are delicious. Of course, I am not that picky when I am full of beer, and have a golf club in my hand. That's right, the virtual golf scene is at Mulligans, so you get all of the benefits of golf, (i.e. ... more Have only ordered the appetizers here, but they are delicious. Of course, I am not that picky when I am full of beer, and have a golf club in my hand. That's right, the virtual golf scene is at Mulligans, so you get all of the benefits of golf, (i.e., hitting the ball wide right, slices, hooks, weak drives), and absolutley none of the excersize that goes along with it. This place just flat out makes me happy to be alive. Although the beer is a little high priced by the pitcher, but they have Rolling Rock on tap, which is always a pleasant surprise. less
