Everyone, I'm heading to Des Moines this weekend to spend a weekend with my inlaws. Its been a while since I've spent much time there, so I'm looking for what the best restaurant in all of Des Moines is right now. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks everyone.
That blows.Quote:

I asked a very similar question on Facebook for this weekend and the overwhelming majority of people had Centro on their list. Apparently the pizza is fantastic and you can't go wrong with anything else. I've never been there, but plan to change that tomorrow.
CW also lists a few of his favorite places in the mailbag.
I don't know if it's the best, but Ranallo's in Ankeny is kind of a hidden gem of a restaurant in the Des Moines area. Italian and Steaks. Very good place.
This is an impossible question but a few of my favorites
Latin King
Centro
Django
Flying Mango
801 Steak
Splash
IMO, Des Moines is great for Italian, BBQ, Steak. There are tons of good options in each category.
Latin King, IMO.
Zombie Burger
Yeah this is a very good list.Quote:

If you are looking for something cheap and nostalgic, go to the High Life Lounge and order the Hot Beef. You will not be disappointed.Quote:

If you want good food, I'd second the Latin King
I'll second Ranallos in Uptown Ankeny. Order the steak oscar. You can thank me later

If you want fine dining.
