Captain Roy's
4.3 / 5 (233 reviews)

Description

Nestled along the Des Moines River, Captain Roy's offers a vibrant outdoor atmosphere perfect for enjoying live music and refreshing drinks on warm summer days. While some visitors praise menu highlights like the tenderloins and loaded tots, others express disappointment over high food prices and mixed service experiences. The restaurant's welcoming outdoor space attracts cyclists and groups seeking a scenic meal, yet the indoor setting can be noisy. Despite some criticisms regarding specific food items and occasional service lapses, many patrons appreciate the overall lively ambiance and plan to return for more delightful dining experiences by the river.

Went on a bike ride on a beautiful day and stumbled upon a restaurant playing Irish folk music with a lively crowd. It was fantastic!
