The 36 Best Restaurants in Des Moines, Iowa | Eater
"Pull up a stool at El Bait Shop, home to the largest craft beer selection west of the Mississippi, and order a glass of your favorite brew. Then walk through the door that connects the shop to this downtown lounge, which feels like stepping back into grandma’s basement. Start with quintessential Iowa bar food, including bacon-wrapped tots, fried cheese curds, and fried pickle spears, before moving on to just-like-mom-made goulash, meatloaf, or chicken pot pie." - Karla Walsh
