"It 's your boy The RIBOLOGIST!!! This place in Des Moines Iowa is soooo easy for me to LOVE. The atmosphere is one of the BEST!!! A mixture of sports bar, rib food shack. The interior SCREAMS..... 'GOOD FOOD! ' ALL the ads, write ups and posters of EVERYTHING food is soooo APPEALING! Now the REAL REASON for this review....... The RIBS. I will say it 's just ok. Sauces are GOOD. Ribs were smoked for hours but was lacking in the DEEP FLAVA category for me. It has a light rub seasoning which REQUIRES sauce to truly enjoy every bite. My 1st visit so I give the ribs 3 stars. Definitely NOT the best cut of ribs, BUT the whole set up and experience is a 4. It 's worth trying whenever in Des Moines. Your boy The RIBOLOGIST IS OUT ."

Delicious food and affordable prices! I ordered a burger and beans, and it really satisfied my craving. As a traveler passing through, I decided to grab a quick meal, and it was definitely worth the stop.
Winfield
Ordered from here through Doordash. The meat was good but was not impressed with the quantity for the price. Also some lazy people in the kitchen, there were still stems on the green beans(they also lacked any flavor).
Cristobal
Great service. Our food came out in no time. You have a very good selection of drinks. Could even eat half of my food because the portions were so large (not complain). It is a very relaxed environment. And the food should die. View menu

Great service. Our food came out in no time at all. They have a very good selection of drinks. Couldnt even eat half of my food because the portions were so big (not complaining). Its a very laid back environment. And the food is to die for.

Looks and tastes amazing. The food was quickly prepared and delivered (supplied by GrubHub). Extra diving sauce to go. Excellent shares. Very satisfied! (Only included main food items in the picture) I ordered the buffalo wings, dinner for 1 with shaving, jalapeño cream corn, waffleries and corn bread.
Lynn
The restaurant offers an amazing dining experience, both in appearance and flavor. My food was prepared and delivered promptly via GrubHub. They also included extra dipping sauces, which was a nice touch. The portion sizes were excellent, and I was very satisfied overall! In the photo, I only included the main dishes. I ordered the buffalo wings, a dinner for one featuring shaved turkey, jalapeño cream corn, waffle fries, and cornbread. View menu

So we came in to have some beer and sat at the bar. And the staff was very attentive and nice. But how we left our server offered us candy because it was trick or treatment night in Des Moines. She went out of her way to make candy if tricks or contractors came to eat. So they wouldn't miss it. Just incredibly thoughtful to do and very thoughtful. So if you haven't been there for your good food or drinks or there were several TVs on the go; I would recommend it only for a friendly interaction with their employees.
Tyler
We stopped by to enjoy a couple of beers and chose to sit at the bar. The staff was really attentive and friendly. As we were leaving, our server offered us candy since it was trick-or-treat night in Des Moines. She had made bags of candy for anyone who came in so that they wouldn’t miss out on the fun. It was such a thoughtful gesture and showed great consideration. So, even if you’re not already going there for their great food, drinks, or numerous TVs, I highly recommend it just for the friendly interactions with the staff.
