What Megan Lyman likes about Chuck's:
Haven 't been to Chuck 's in years and our family goes out to dinner every Saturday. We always struggle to think of a 'new ' place and was reminded of this neighborhood gem so we stopped by last night. Everything we ordered was delicious, chicken parm, shrimp scampi fettuccine and pizza. The music room was a treat and service from Charles was beyond enjoyable! We will be back. View all feedback. What Jason Krommenhoek doesn't like about Chuck's:
We have eaten here before and truly enjoyed the meal, this time not so much this time.First of all, the parking situation really sucks.Beyond the parking, the atmosphere is enjoyable.My wife ordered the special which was Chicken Alfredo Lasagna and I had the Cavatelli with a meatball. The Cavatelli came out extremely hot (good) and was covered in cheese (good) but that is where it ended. It was made with ziti noodles... View all feedback.

One of the best places in Des Moines for pizza and onion rings! The service was great! Definitely worth the drive from where ever you are in the Metro!
