An order of Steak de Burgo from Jimmy's American Cafe in West Des Moines. (Arturo Fernandez/Juice)
Jimmy's American Cafe, well-known for summertime Jimmy Buffet Nights on the patio, has been a Des Moines dining staple for more than 25 years. New owner Mark Rogers (who also owns Legends and Fire Creek Grill) is freshening up the restaurant, and adding Cajun and smoked barbecue to the menu.
