We came in at like 9 and they close at ten, our server was Julie and she was amazing, I don?t think I?ve ever had abetter server anywhere, and that means a lot coming from me because I?ve been a server myself for many years until the past fewmonths. The food was amazing, like it has been the 3 or four times we?ve been there, steak a perfect rare, asparagus cookedperfectly, etc., that also means a lot coming from us, because my husband is an ex chef with 20plus years experience in thekitchen, and we are used to perfection at home(when he cooks ????)When we go out to eat, we like to try the various higher endlocal restaurants as opposed to the chains, and of all the local Des Moines restaurants Skips is the only one we?ve been to morethan twice, and I think there is only one other we?ve been to twice. Now back to the service, we were made to feel comfortableand so encouraged to enjoy our time by Julie, I was seriously amazed and I have never been so impressed. We were even thosejerks who stayed past closing (but we didn?t even know it until we looked at the time ourselves), because we were treated sokindly. My experience today at Skip?s with Julie as our server really made my birthday special, and I thank the Lord for such ablessed evening ?? -edit: I guess I wrote a few reviews years ago and didn?t remember

The sirloin was outstanding. Excellent steakhouse ambiance with friendly staff. It's not your cheapest option in town as most steak options are $28-35. It's a nice destination for a good, quality meal and I suggest checking out ifyou want a quality steak and great service!

The spinach and artichoke dip was amazing and it wasn't too noisy, despite the fact that we were there at lunchtime! They have some vegetarian options, sojust about anyone can eat here. I'll come back next time I'm in town

Unfortunately the bbq ribs were terrible, very little meat and extremely overcooked, couldn’t even cut them apart. When concern was brought up to the server she apologized, but no resolution was offered for a meal sent back completely uneaten. Very frustrating to pay a not low price for a meal that wasn’t edible, I would have expected some offer of some type of compensation whether a bill reduction, a replacement food item or something.
