What Zach Martin likes about 801 Chophouse – Des Moines:
An overall excellent experience, we had heard many good things but it was great to see that 801 lived up to the hype.

It's very expensive and while the food was good, it wasn't good enough to justify the prices. Wonderful service. Very smokey.
