Rube's Steakhouse - Waukee

👍👍 Such a fun date date night for the hubs and me! The meat guys recommended that he butterfly his filet. Although he probably wouldn’t do that again, his steak was tender and flavorful. I grilled the t-bone. We made a couple of pieces of garlic bread to munch while at the grill. FUN!!!

Broheim's Indoor Golf & Pub
Indoor golf course
👍👍 The bar area without golf is a cool atmosphere, then they have 5 huge simulator bays with comfortable seating at each sim. The sims are top notch, best I've used. The putting is very nice as well. Distances are spot on with outdoor play. I've played other sims where a 4 iron goes 260. I am not DJ....

Central Standard Craft Beer & Burgers
Restaurant
😠 Will not be returning. Took over an hour to get food. Wasn't particularly busy when we went. Portions we're pretty small for the price. Food was cold, bland, and somehow both soggy and dry by the time we got it (dry fish, no crisp on the breading). Server was pretty nice when she was around but only...

👍👍 I’ve been to Hyper several times. Their drinks are delicious and my daughter said their smoothie was one of the best she’s had.
I love that you can get all their drinks without caffeine. Don’t forget to ask for a punch card so you can get your 11th drink free, and Tuesday’s are double punch days! Pl...
