Located in Des Moines, Iowa is The Big Steer Restaurant, home of the BEST PRIME RIB - Ever! They have knocked Boone's Long Lake Inn of Traverse City, Michigan to number three on my list of great beef servers. (Ruth Chris' Steak Houses remain at position number two)Despite a one hour wait (always a sign of a great eatery), it was well worth it. The hospitality of the staff was fantastic and very friendly. We were guaranteed a good meal when they found out we were just passing through - and it was true. The house dressing on the salad - Creamy Garlic Parmesan (homemade) - was extremely tasty; the Au Gratin Potatoes with chunks of ham delighted my palate (since I can no longer enjoy the same dish from now-defunct Bill Knapp's); and needless to say, the main entree, the Prime Rib, was a savorful sensation to my taste buds!
Should you ever have the opportunity to be passing through Des Moines on I-80, be sure to make a point to enjoy the proper serving of beef . . . in corn fed beef country.
