If you want a restaurant in Des Moines that has a menu with a wide variety of choices and excellent food at a reasonable price, I suggest The Chicago Speakeasy on Euclid Avenue. It has been a fixture here for over thirty years. They will take reservations for a group of four or more, but they will also allow any size group to do a half hour call-ahead for a table. If you want to just show up and put your name in for a table, they have a very large bar area with plenty of seating while you wait. Besides their excellent food, in my opinion their salad bar (free when ordering a meal) is the best in Des Moines.

WTF???

Plenty of us responded in time. You ended up going to a chain restaurant...and not even in Des Moines.

Yeah...you tried really hard to tap into the local flavor.

Thanks for wasting our time.

I'm surprised you didn't just eat at Applebees or Perkins while you were at it.
