Best Gluten Free Restaurants in Des Moines

Family in from Idaho don’t have many seafood options so when they come to visit, they always want to eat at Duke’s. Steamer Clams were delicious and our server kept the sourdough bread coming to soak up the broth. Seafood chowder was a first time trying (usually have the clam chowder) but this is loaded with seafood (including more clams) in a savory red broth. Stuffed Halibut and Blackened Salmon Salads were well seasoned and since we ate every bite, we didn’t have dessert.

The food is always amazing and the service is great last night only complaint is the wait time to be seated and getting the food even had a reservation! We were there for over 2 hours and it was my Birthday dinner! It was busy being Valentine’s Day and I understand overall food was outstanding as always!

Dukes is always a great experience. They have variety on the menu and quality ingredients. They are my go to. Their fresh sheet always has seasonal delicious options. They are consistent and local. It’s a great way to have a delicious meal with friendly service without having to be fancy.

I'd rather you raise the prices on the menu then bring me a bill telling me to pay your kitchen staff. I know minimum wage is higher but it reflects on ownership and management more than anything.

Everything was delicious and the environment was lovely.
