Let me sum this up in one word--WONDERFUL. I travel extensively around the country and this has to be one of my most memorable dining experiences--so much so that I ate there 5 days in a row. The buffet with crab legs and shrimp was fantastic and for $2 more, you can get a steak (not a steak that tastes like $2). The wait staff were superb and attentive. Daily entertainment made dining fun. For a restaurant, the drink selection was very good and not pricey either. Excellent place to dine. less

Crimmins cattle company offers some of the best beef Iowa has to offer, prepared to perfection. They also offer other favorites like shrimp, catch of the day, ribs, chicken, etc. This resturaunt has been in Des Moines for some time now & frankly the interior shows it. I would have given them 5 stars if it weren't for that. Aside from that, however, you will be pleased with the fine food, great wait staff, & a salad bar that while small, is more than adequate. At the end of the salad bar sits a generous bowl of chilled crab legs! This is one of the features that keeps people coming back time & again. It's a great place to watch your favorite sport on their huge projection T.V. in the bar area. They have live music on the weekends. (mainly local country bands) This is one of my faorite places to eat in Des Moines, & I highly recommend it. less
