Des Moines Restaurant Guide

My boyfriend and I spend a lot of time in Pleasant Hill and one night decided to try Clays for something different. We found it and now we go there about once a week. We love it! The pasta is great. The steak melts in your mouth and the service is amazing.

The greatest food on the east side!!
Definately worth checking out!!!

This is one of my husband's favorite restaurants. He likes to meet up with his buddies and have a nice steak and salad.

I like Clay's because the ambiance is not like the glaringly bright, noisy, trendy restaurants that are popping up. I enjoy being able to take our time with dinner and being able to "visit" with our dinner mates.

I am surprising my husband tonight. About 15 of his friends are meeting up with us for dinner for his birthday.

The location is great since several of us are driving up from the Pella area and we have friends from West Des Moines meeting us.

We get tired of driving to West Des Moines' locations and it is so nice to have a quality restaurant close by.

The service is superb and is only surpassed by the quality of food.

We love the fact the owner/manager visits with us at every opportunity. Coming from small towns like Monroe and Pella, it is nice to feel a part of the family.

I can't wait to see my husband's face when everyone shows up. :)

My wife and just found this "gem" of a restaurant in Pleasant Hill after reading previous reviews on this website. Clay's has become our new favorite restaurant for great comfort food.

This place was great. We had a great experience. The owners are hands on people and the service was flawless. The steaks were perfect and very flavorful. THe portion sizes were large. You will find nothing but great things here!!

Clarification...This is a 4 star restaurant. It is a pleasant all around dining experience, I must have missed a button on the review scoring Mitchellville reviewer.

I love this place it is a favorite spot. The food is always pleasing to the eye, piping hot, and delicious. Portions compared to price are great!
The staff are friendly. Atmosphere is fine dinning but not the high cost. Onion rings are yummy!

There is a simple elegance and quite ambiance in this place. It is very enjoyable. The food is hot and delicious. The menu has a variety of choice from sandwiches to seafood. It is clean. Staff very friendly and extra touches to the service.
Great onion rings and blended margarita's

your missing out if you hav'nt been here yet. Great place to enjoy your meal and conversation in a non smoking restaurant. I suggest you try the Trio De Burgo **** or the Chicken De Burgo****

DRIVE TO 4830 MAPLE DR IN PLEASANT HILL IA ACROSS FROM THE HY-VEE AND SEE FOR YOURSELF.
