Hi always come here when I want to go to a sports bar when I am in town. Especially since it is relatively convenient to where I normally stay at the Holiday Inn. But nothing really special to say about it, except it's got lots of televisions, and it is a regular sports bar with lots of seating, and it gets crowded when there's a game that people in Des Moines are interested in. I just wish that they had PBR on tap, or maybe the High Life

My burger was below average. Meat patty was dry and overcooked. Bacon, too. It tasted old, not fresh. Same with wife's patty melt.
Our server was pleasant.

Saw a mouse inside

So my wife and I are in the restaurant area and see two mice running across the floor towards the kitchen. I told the bartender and she was unimpressed like it wasn’t abnormal to see that type of thing. It was at that point in time we decided we weren’t going to order food there! We finished our drinks and walked out the door not to return again!

Here’s an updated menu! I highly recommend the white cheddar cheese curds. My grinder sandwich was good too! They allowed us to reserve tables in advance so our baseball players and families could sit together. They gave us an entire section in the back near the games which was perfect for the teen boys.

I was able to enjoy a meal, the NBA conference finals basketball game, and connect with some strangers in the back over a game of pool. It felt like a real social spot when I visited people were just very friendly.

Stopped in on a Friday evening to watch an NBA playoff game and shockingly they had it on multiple screens. Really dark in this spot and the music is loud. I had the Graziano Nachos which were amazing. The picture I took doesn't do them justice. Best nachos I've had in a long time. Lots of ground sausage all the way to the bottom. Also had a couple beers and a drink, nothing special. Bartenders were cool.

By about 10pm youngsters started to fill in and got my old ass out of there. Good spot to catch a game.

As others have stated, the food is bad. I got a cheeseburger. Possibly the worst burger I’ve ever eaten in my life. It tasted like the meat was spoiled and was clearly cheap frozen beef from like Costco cause it looked like a star and not a round patty. I couldn’t even finish it. I’m worried Im gonna be sick now. Service was fine. It’s a sports bar.

Came here for a football game and had a nice time. Decided to come back for the Superbowl and was very disappointed. Pizza was not good and the wings tasted like they were cooked in old oil.
Our bartender, Taylor, was great, but we asked her if they would be turning off the music to listen to the game - she asked someone else. That bartender, in an eagles Westbrook jersey, came over in an an angry tone and told us they would change the audio when they felt like it, and if we don't like it we can leave...We stayed until halftime but did not feel welcomed to be there and left. We won't be back.

Had a good time. A bit more expensive than I like, but, they are right on it.

This place had the worst service I have had in a long long time. The bartender was more interested in talking with her friends and sucking on her vape than taking care of people. I had to wait 10 minutes to get her to give me a menu, and then another 15 minutes for her to ask me if I wanted anything. My drink was empty more than it was full. Then she got off shift and transferred my ticket to the next girl and didn't tell her or me she was leaving. This caused me to wait another 20 minutes to cash out because the new bartender thought I was cashed out and just hanging out watching sports.
