Skip's

I'm not sure why I've been here so many times. My mom took me and my sister here several times growing up and my sister and I never liked it at all. Years later my husband has never been and wanted to try it. I hadn't been in a long time so we went and my husband who will eat anything didn't even finish half his food. He said it was extremely bland and the texture was awful. I had the same experience with my own food as well. We also went shortly after that with a group and no one in our group enjoyed their food as well, they all said they usually enjoy the food. I don't get the hype, it's super dark and looks like my dead great-grandma decorated it.

We had a very nice server and the bartender made me a virgin drink for a very reasonable price. The spinach and artichoke dip was amazing and it wasn't too noisy, despite the fact that we were there at lunchtime! They have some vegetarian options, so just about anyone can eat here. I'll come back next time I'm in town Vegetarian options: Spinach and artichoke dip, salad, vegetarian sandwich, probably more options upon request Parking: Lots of space and close to the building Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ramp available

This is actually the first review I’ve ever written, and I’m writing it because I feel that our experience tonight shouldn’t go unnoticed. We came in at like 9 and they close at ten, our server was Julie and she was amazing, I don’t think I’ve ever had a better server anywhere, and that means a lot coming from me because I’ve been a server myself for many years until the past few months. The food was amazing, like it has been the 3 or four times we’ve been there, steak a perfect rare, asparagus cooked perfectly, etc., that also means a lot coming from us, because my husband is an ex chef with 20plus years experience in the kitchen, and we are used to perfection at home(when he cooks ????)When we go out to eat, we like to try the various higher end local restaurants as opposed to the chains, and of all the local Des Moines restaurants Skips is the only one we’ve been to more than twice, and I think there is only one other we’ve been to twice. Now back to the service, we were made to fee
