Sarah Hinzman: "Here's what you're gonna do. Order the 2 pints & 2 lbs. of wings. Beers: Lost Coast Apricot Wheat & Bent River Jalapeño Pepper Ale. Order 1/3 each of tang, dry rub, and mexican wings. Then die happy."
Vanessa Marcano-Kelly: "Delicious sushi, confident dishes and classy presentation, as well as atmosphere. Don't miss out on the seaweed salad or the rainbow roll (the one rolled up in cucumber). Best sushi in Des Moines!"
Rick Howard: "Hard to go wrong here: ask about the special Mac and cheese of the day. if that doesn't appeal, the meat I and cheese boards, toasties, or recluse Mac and cheese are delicious."
Kristen Moran: "Best theater in town. They have a great selection of movies, often ones that other theaters don't show. And you can have some beer or wine with your buttery popcorn. Doesn't get better than that."
Nathan Wright: "Centro's bar area has one of the best street views of Downtown Des Moines. My favorite dish is the hand-rolled Caviatelli. The Sunday morning Bloody Mary bar is also a can't miss."
Derek Gaskins: "Definitely one of the top steak houses in Iowa and the Midwest. Great service, fresh seafood, dry aged steaks and a cocktail selection that’s extensive."
Tony Tandeski: "One of the best farmers markets in the U.S. With 300+ vendors, you'll definitely find what you need. And come hungry, there's plenty of food vendors perfect for breakfast. Don't miss it!"
Ashley Kasper: "Buy the peanut butter! And the honey, then grab a wheat grass shot to freshen things up. Then mango on a stick, flavored popcorn, veggies for a farm-2-table dinner. End with fresh flowers for the home"
Erik Rowley: "One of the most unique dives you will find anywhere in the U.S. The crab Rangoon is their most popular for good reason, but the Egg Rolls are the real treat. Best egg rolls I've ever eaten in my life"
g oconnor: "These folks are incredibly friendly and creative. This is the very definition of "a fine scarfing establishment" as described by The Martian Boogie. Enjoying a meal with a nephew: Priceless!"
