Best restaurants near me in Grimes, IA

Olivia was outstanding. Everything was perfect. Our new favorite restaurant in Des Moines.

We always have a great meal and a good time at Coopers Hawk. The price is right for the quantity and quality of the food and drinks. It is a bit noisy when seated in the bar area (bar and waiting/tasting area), with most of the noise coming from those in the waiting area. But that is to be expected for a place that is always packed because of its reputation, and I wouldn’t ding them for that!

Very good lobster roll was outstanding.Prime rib was done just right

Ruth's Chris is the best place for steak on the planet. The first bite of USDA prime beef from a sizzling 500 degree F (260 degree C) plate sends your mouth into ecstasy and makes you forget any problems you may be having, even if only for a few moments. I highly recommend the bone-in cuts. The bone-in filet is my personal favorite. The strip is my favorite cut since it has more beef than a traditional filet, but the bone-in filet at Ruth's Chris is so delicious that I cannot pass it up. Do not be concerned about the price. It is worth every penny and much more. The bone-in strip and T-bone are excellent choices for those who desire more beef and/or more value. Couples who like their steak cooked to the same temperature should consider the porterhouse. My dining guest likes the petite filet, an excellent choice for those with smaller appetites. I prefer my steak "naked", but if you're a little more adventurous, try one of the toppings. Shrimp always pairs well with steak. Unless you aren't into fried food, the shoestring fries are a must. A beautiful departure from the traditional fries you find at fast food and fast casual locations. The asparagus is my vegetable of choice. The hollandaise is on the side, which is a relief for me, since I like my spears just the way they are. I've also had the creamed spinach, and it too is outstanding. Ruth's Chris is dear to my heart since it started in New Orleans, my native city. It will become dear to your heart once you try it, if you haven't already.

Held a business dinner for 5 people here and got great service and we all enjoyed our main entrees and shared appetizers.
