If you're driving through West Des Moines, make a stop at Waterfront Seafood Market!…read moreWhat makes this place so unique is that it's both a seafood market and a restaurant, so you're getting some of the freshest seafood you'll find in the Midwest! We ordered sushi, clam chowder, boiled shrimp, and one of their daily specials. Everything tasted fresh, and there were so many options on the menu that we'd happily come back to try more! It's just outside of downtown Des Moines, making it a great stop on your way into or out of the city. If you're craving seafood while you're in Iowa, I'd definitely recommend adding this one to your list!

If you go to Spencer's and dont get that dessert, you are missing out. The oatmeal pie was crispy, gooey and warm, the cinnamon ice cream was heavenly on top. They sell the pies to go, yes I definitely got one. We will be making Spencer's a regular stop when we go to visit our friend, Spencer! #partylikepote

I don't send orders back because they will over cook it. The steak didn't have much flavor. Service was poor. I sat at the bar and was ready for my check. The waitress walked by twice and turned her back to me so I couldn't ask her for my check. Thank god I don't come to Creston much because there's not many choices for dinner. It wasn't busy, there were only 6 tables with customers. I'll eat at Taco John's before I come back here. And I don't particularly care for Taco John's.

I had the canneloni which one has a hard time finding in Italian restaurants any more.

Absolutely the best smoked chicken I've ever had! The owner/chef uses a meat smoker on site, so…read morethere is no artificial smoke flavor here! I ordered smoked chicken tacos, and they came as hard-shell tacos with chunks of the chicken, lettuce and tomato, and shredded cheese. The chef put the barbecue sauce on the side, which was good since it was too spicy for my taste. My tacos came with a side salad, and the lettuce tasted freshly chopped. The fries my husband ordered with his meal were so piping hot we had to wait a minute to eat them (a good thing -- we knew they were fresh!). We were intrigued by the location, and the fact that it's a very small, mom-and pop operation (not a chain). Clearmont is a community of about 170 people in a rural area. The restaurant looks like a small house on the outside, and has a homey feel on the inside. The interior isn't that big -- maybe about 6 or 8 tables total - so there is a cozy feel to it. It's like being in a relative's living room while they're cooking for you. Having REAL smoked chicken - again, the best I've ever had -and freshly prepared food accompanied by genuine, friendly service from the chef and waiter totally made the drive worth it. I'd definitely recommend this place.

Before you read the novel below, I will summarize within the first couple sentences…read more We had heard about this small hole-in-the wall place and read rave reviews prior to reserving our table for a birthday celebration about a week in advance. We reserved for 4pm on a Sunday. 2 stars instead of 1 because 2 out of the 5 steaks ordered were cooked as ordered and were delicious. When we arrived it was to our surprise it was empty..no one else waiting/seated at the restaurant. It appeared to have one employee working, who happened to be the owner it turns out. We were seated and asked for drink orders and brought cans of pop, and told that Dr. pepper would have gone bad before it could get used so they didn't carry it. No big deal. Ordered a full spread of appetizers, didn't receive one item, asked about it and it was made and brought out. No big deal. Drinks were empty almost the entire time despite being the only table in the place and we were hardly checked on. Everyone ordered Rib Eye steaks except kids and one person ordered sirloin. We were told he was out of 10oz, so had to "upgrade" to a 12oz. All steaks were supposed to be medium rare. We were still the only people at the restaurant at this point...40 minutes later. The kids' items came out first, smart move. Then came my 12 oz steak which was burnt on edges, about 1/2" thick, and Well Done. Then, out came the 16oz rib eye and it was 3/4-1" thick, juicy and cooked to medium rare. As ordered. Then came my husbands steak, a 14oz cooked medium well and also about 1/2" thick the lobster tail was probably a 2oz tail and served meat side down on a leaf of lettuce...cold in the center. Then came the other 14oz that was about 3/4" thick, juicy and undercooked. Then came the birthday girl's 16oz and it was about 1/2" thick and well done. At this point, it was no longer a maybe because the 12oz was smaller it was over cooked, but a do they even know how to cook a steak? When I addressed the issue, I was told " Well, I cook on the plus side of what people order because some people say one temperature and mean another." I said "well, medium rare to me means warm red center. " He left and came back stating "I only have one steak left, so...." Just walked away. No apology, no explanation other than what was said. A table of 3 showed up about 5:30 and his attention went to them. We are business owners and know staff/supply shortages are real, we get it. BUT there is absolutely no excuse for the lack of service/explanation especially when charging over $20/$30 from a so called Wagyu bloodline that was over/under cooked 4/5 steaks. All he had to have said was, "hey, we are short staffed I am by myself, bare with me. I'm sorry it wasn't cooked to your liking, can I throw it back on or get you another/something else in its place?" But when you dismiss a complaint, offer no explanation, don't care to strike up a conversation with customers or even thank them for coming in there's a bigger issue. Especially when you shut down your Facebook page's option to leave a review after a message was sent directly to you regarding the service received is ignored. Something tells me maybe this wasn't the first time, maybe it wasn't an "off" night. Either way, reviews can still be left on other platforms and will be. We are not typically hard to please, be friendly, keep glasses filled up, bring us what we order and you receive a very generous tip and review. This was not the case here and people have a right to know what could happen during their visit especially since it seems any negative review is reported or replied to with a snarky come back.

We stopped into Plank Provisions in Omaha on our road trip and absolutely loved it. The service was…read moreexcellent from the moment we walked in. We shared hush puppies, a fresh and flavorful salad, and a variety of oysters--everything was delicious. My husband ordered a coffee-flavored beer and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was, and I enjoyed a perfectly made lemon drop. Such a great spot to relax and refuel. We'll definitely stop by again next time we're in Omaha!

Plank has, unfortunately, announced they will be closing at the end of 2025, and while I did enjoy…read moresome of their food offerings, I can't say I'm super surprised. They definitely have/had some pretty high prices compared to other eateries in the area. I'm not sure if that is caused by cost of goods or location or what, but I think that did come into play when a lot of economic hardship is happening all over. Like I mentioned above, I DID like their food, but it definitely had to be a special occasion type of thing, due to the high prices. When we did go, I LOVED the Maryland Crab Dip. It reminded me of my favorite crab dip in the world, at the SweetWater Brewing Company in Atlanta. We also had the Green Bean Almandine that was on special last time we went and that was pretty good, but you have to be a green bean fan, for sure. I decided to try the sushi as my main dish last time, and had the Everything Crunch Maki, which consisted of cooked salmon, jalapeño, and cream cheese. It was pretty good, and had a little hint of spice to it from the jalapeño, which cut the heavy cream aspect. My husband had the Grilled Atlantic Salmon for his entree, and gave me a few bites. It was cooked well and the mushroom risotto below it was very flavorful and filling. The cute nautical ambiance and excellent service were always appreciated, so no complaints there either. I think if they had been in a different area with less expensive rent and cost of goods, I may have visited more often.

There is no seafood on the current menu; it is carp, catfish and walleye.
