Principal River's Edge - Des Moines

Love the whimsical wall paint, the beautiful fish tanks, and of course the delicious food beverages! Servers Adam (first visit) and Scott (second visit in the same week) were both terrific and took great care of us.

Food was fine. Stopped in for lunch while at a meeting at the convention center. Extremely slow service. Long wait for food.

I hadn't payed much attention to this place before the last time my wife and I were down to see Green Day. I noticed that you could get in early to eat before the show and that they took reservations. We got in and seated right away. Had a pretty good view of downtown from out the windows to the South of the arena. The food was ok. Nothing special. Appeared to be mostly frozen food. The wife had a burger that was tasty and super juicy. I had a tenderloin that wasn't too bad. Have had better and worse. We got some loaded fries for an appetizer but they didn't end up showing up till after our food. They were actually really good. 3 or 4 different types of cheese with scallions and smoked bacon. Not too shabby at all! It's very convenient if you're going for an event. Biggest downsize is it's pretty pricey for the quality of food you're getting. You're mainly paying for the convenience of being right in the arena and not having to go anywhere else to eat. We might try it again sometime but it wouldn't be a regular stop for us.

My family has season tickets to the Wild and aren't fans of the concession food so we have made reservations for the River's Edge a few times. The food is delicious and a nice variety with salads, great corn nuggets!, mac and cheese options and burgers. We have unfortunately not had good luck with the service, tonight waiting nearly 20 minutes simply to order and then having to wave down a server. My husband went to the bar so that we at least had something to drink. The server was not in any hurry and was very confused coming back to our table and asking if we were ready to order 5 minutes after we had ordered. One bonus for her She was very polite. Overall best food at the hockey game but servers need some work in the service department. People want to order and eat so they can get to the game.

Service was slow, food was slow. Had reservation 1 hour and fifteen minutes before our show and got Food 25 minutes before show. A little pricey and the food was just ok.
