A taste of Old Des Moines. Just as good in 2018 as when I last lived here in 1996, and when my Dad ate there as a Drake student in the 50's.

Been going to GCK for 40 years and I expect to still be going for a lot longer. No it's not the cleanest...get over it and just enjoy it!

Saw this place on triple D. We drove from Berlin wi. Best chili I ever had. Great burger and the waitress gave my son a stuffed animal when we left.

Great diner food and a great atmosphere. One of my go-to spots for a great burger or chili dog.

Chili is a classic and the tenderloin is awesome. Workers made us feel at home.
