Downtown DSM Lunch Options

Same ownership group, led by Scott Carlson
I do make a point of going to Court Ave Brewing occasionally as I like Scott Carlson and respect what he has helped do for downtown and the Court Ave. district.c.
I've volunteered quite a few years at the fair for Scott at the Craft Beer Tent. He's a great dude, he really "gets it."

The Local Bites food court, in the basement of the Partnership Building on 7th and Locust, is great. The Mexican place down there is awesome, much much much better than the one in the upstairs food court. Indian place is good, too. Farm Boys and the stand/kiosk in the middle are great, same owners.

JJ Jasmine Thai in the upstairs food court is solid, quick and reasonably priced.
Farmhouse has bomb breakfast, too.
 
Malo is by far my favorite restaurant downtown. They had a fillet taco for a chefs special one day I was there and it was unreal. The brunch is awesome.
 
That place closed abruptly last week.

If it's anything like the last few times, it'll reopen as a slightly different Mexican place in a few weeks.

As an aside, I'm surprised there are so many of us working in the capital square area.
