ReviewsGreat food and atmosphere This restaurant is a favorite for locals of Des Moines - family-owned and mostly family-operated. While the hours of operation are limited, it's worth it to get there before they close. Chatty waitresses and delicious menu selections - the portions aren't quite what you might think by the price, but they are adequate. I suggest starting with a salad/appetizer in addition to your dinner - you should have room for dessert, too, which is is a good thing, because it'd be a shame to miss out on a piece of Mary's homemade pie in any flavor you can crave. This place is also a favorite of local community organizations, who come in large groups, so if you're looking for a quiet evening, you may want to call ahead and see if a large group is expected.

We enjoyed the first meal so much, decided to go back for a second on another night. We were too full to taste Mary's famous pies but our guests eyed them on the way out and walked back the next day from their local motel to have the dessert. Now back home, they still talk about how much they enjoyed eating at the Des Moines Creek Restaurant. Recently entertained out of town guests who happened to be from the other Des Moines.

While visiting in the Seattle area we were recommended to the Des Moines Creek Restaurant by the manager of the motel where we were staying. While visiting in the Seattle area we were recommended to the Des Moines Creek Restaurant by the manager of the motel where we were staying. The food was excellent and the service remarkably good for as busy as they were. Our waitress was particularly good! She recommended the Raspberry Devonshire Cream Pie. What a treat! Now I've tried all over to find the recipe or to find the makings for Devonshire Cream but to no avail. Just today I thought about the possibility of getting it from the source. Any chance of sharing that awesome recipe with an Ohioan? Many thanks for a wonderful evening with delicious food and fine service. It was a dining experience.

My in-laws recently moved to Arizona and whenever they are in town we try to fit in a meal at the Des Moines Creek Restaurant. Their pies are wonderful! Be sure to leave room for dessert!

Having heard that Mary's Pies were voted the best in Seattle, I made the drive from Ballard to try Des Moines Creek Restaurant for myself this evening along with my husband and an out of town guest. When we arrived, we were never greeted by the hostess as she was gabbing on the phone. We were seated by someone finally, given menus and water. Then the wait was on for a waitress. That seemed to be the recurring theme of the evening. We saw at least 3 waitresses in our section which had 2 tables including ours seated with 6 patrons total. Our meals were mediocre -- crab cakes that were pasty and without much crab, the Oriental seafood salad with tasteless shrimp and "lobster" with some semi-wilted lettuce, quiche Lorraine which was more like a bacon pie -- all very disappointing. But, as advertised, the pie WAS good. We all shared one piece of the Raspberry Devonshire Cream Pie and it was great.

Living in the Seattle area, a friend and I drove down to Des Moines just "for fun" to try this restaurant with an Entertainment Book coupon. The restaurant is very pretty... nice decor... and the atmosphere was extremely friendly and "homey." Excellent waitress, great service. And they brought plenty of wonderful freshly baked, warm, wheat bread and butter! YUM!

And they brought plenty of wonderful freshly baked, warm, wheat bread and butter! YUM! Unfortunately when the food arrived, we were a bit disappointed. We ordered "red potatoes" for example... each received ONE very small potato split in half.. chicken breast turned out to be HALF of a chicken breast. Food was very tasty... but we sure were glad for all the bread! For the price of these meals, there should be plentiful servings. It's too bad they serve such skimpy portions; otherwise it could have become one of my "favorites."
