Tips from locals
Fantastic breakfasts if you can get seating. It's one of Jason Momoa's favorite places to eat when he's visiting his mom here.
Voted "Best Breakfast in Des Moines" for over 20 years. A favorite of Tom Brokaw during elections, and there's a breakfast special named for Jason Mamoa. Open Monday through Saturday 6am to 2 pm
The only municipal course named by golf writer Davy Hoffman as one of "America's Greatest Golf Courses," Waveland Golf Course offers a PGA Pro, lessons, golf shop, food, and bar. The course is 18 holes with a continuous cart path and is available for tournaments, outings, and public use.
It's just an old-fashioned diner breakfast spot. It is well loved around here, but I can't say that the food will blow you away. If you're looking for a vibe, you should go. Jason Momoa and other Iowa celebs frequent this little spot.
