Joe's crabs

One of our favorite restaurants in Des Moines is Joes's Crab Shack. The prices are a little high but the food is good and the staff is friendly. They even dance for the patrons!
The best part is it has a fenced in playground. The kids played for about an hour - perfect after a three hour drive. We sat outside and had dinner there. Since it was windy, most people ate inside. Another bonus for us
The restaurant is situated by a small lake with fountains. It reminds us of eating at a restaurant in Florida. I wish more restaurants had similar playgrounds
