• Woody's Smoke Shack
  "Great food and quiet place to eat"
  "I love bbq and have eaten at most of the places in DM, but when we had out of town company we decided to try Woody's and were very pleased with the result. Everyone had something different and all approved. My brisket was tasty and moist, others enjoyed the smoked chicken, ribs, and ham. For side..."s I had beans and cheesy potatoes both of which were great, though the beans were a tad bit cold. I also tried the mac and cheese and coleslaw and they were good as well. In addition to the good food we enjoyed the outdoor seating area, with plenty of tables and chairs in the shade overlooking the nice quiet neighborhood. Free and delicious cornbread is always available for dine in customers. Staff was helpful if not super friendly. Definitely check out the bathroom! There are other bbq places in town with a bit more variety on their menu or have more of a sports bar feel to it, but if you are looking for great food and a quiet, low key place in which to eat it, Woody's is for you.

• A Taste of Thailand
  "Good to bad to Best Thai food"
  "I used to go to A Taste of Thailand all of the time until something changed. I think it was the owners? When I used to go there, it was really good Thai food. Then it went down hill. Now, they have new owners, and it is by far the best Thai food I have had in Des Moines. The service is great. The fo..."od is really the best Thai food in Des Moines. I'm glad that the place has come back and even surpassed my expectations. I would say that the only downfall of the restaurant is the outside of the building. It is waaaay better than the look of the old bright yellow paint, but it could turn away some people. Actually, the inside is much nicer than the old restaurant. I would highly recommend this restaurant. " More >
