Fast Food RestaurantSeafood RestaurantTake Out RestaurantChicken Restaurant
Real seafood should be sourced from real sea-places, like, you know, oceans. So that's exactly where we source our wild-caught Alaska pollock, wild-caught Alaska salmon, and wild-caught north Pacific cod. We’re no one trick sea pony.

    It's usually a long way but I think it's because they are understaffed. The food is always good

    Sometimes there is a long wait, sometimes the staff doesn't say much, But my food is always correct and good, so no complaints.

    They changed their coleslaw which is very disappointing, it used to be my favorite. This place does hold lots of memories for me though. I have been going here since I was little, I'm nearly 50. I still go here off and on when I make it to Des Moines around lunch time. Story has it it was a restaurant back in the 50s. It would be interesting to know for sure.
