I can actually get real gluten free food there and not get sick. Right now the only restaurant I can eat at. A little pricey but really worth it

First time to Smash Park & rented one of their party game rooms. Our party enjoyed great gluten free appetizers & had lots of fun with all the games & on pickleball court. The staff was friendly, timely, had great recommendations for planning our catering. I would recommend for your next party!

🍴 **Ruth’s Chris West Des Moines: Where Steak Dreams and Gluten-Free Schemes Collide!** 🥩✨ **The Grand Entrance:** Picture this: Two greeters at the door, one looking *shook* like we’d crashed a secret steak society meeting. Joke’s on them—we marched in chanting, “GLUTEN-FREE OR BUST!” 🏃♀️💨 **The Feast:** - **Starters:** Mushrooms, asparagus, and spinach dip arrived like edible confetti. My gluten-free kid grinned like she’d won the snack lottery. 🎉 - **Salmon:** Cooked so flawlessly, my daughter was happy with first bite yumyum, “This fish deserves a standing ovation.” 🐟👏 - **Sea Bass:** A *tiiiiny* bit shy on flavor (salt, buddy, salt!), but still fancier than my “gourmet” cereal dinners. 🥣❌ but combined with bread crumble topping balanced. **Plot Twist:** Mid-bite, I spotted Johnny—my old pal from Tonic days! Suddenly, we’re VIPs in a secret wine cave, surrounded by bottles older than my *NSYNC CDs. 🍷😎 **Final Bite:** Great food, zero stuffy vibes, and service so sharp they probably iron the napkins. .**Go. Eat. Repeat.** And save me a seat in the wine dungeon! 🍽️🔑 **Rating:** 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (Plus 10/10 for making my kid feel like a gluten-free QUEEN.) 👑

Wife and I enjoyed the Hibachi for dinner. We ordered the NY Strip Steak and Chicken dishes (We were able to get these gluten free). The portions were perfect size and the chef was great. Absolutely 0 complaints and would come back again next time we're in town.

pizza was good and i had the gluten free option. my husband and kids had pepperoni. only down side to this place is depending on what door you come in its not the best greeting per say. we came in the rear door from rear parking (yes its meant for customers to come in) and when you come in its like you in the spot between the bar and people eating. waitress walked by us standing there at least 5 times before we asked to be seated. It was obvious what we were there for!

Delicious BBQ food. They weren’t super clear about what was and wasn’t gluten free but the ribs didn’t make me sick and the BBQ sauces all seemed fine.

If you are gluten-free, this is not a good place to go. I met a bunch of friends there for a reunion of sorts. They had picked the restaurant. Items on the menu are very expensive to overpriced. If you’re gluten-free, then you have to add up charges galore. For example, their lunch pizza was on sale for $18.99, but there was a six dollar up charge for a gluten-free crust. My other options were to order an $18 hamburger without a bun, or to order chili or soup which were both gluten-free but the temperature was in the 90s so neither of those options were desirable. Even simple things like nachos and chips and queso. We’re not options because they use flour tortillas.
