Restaurants near Ainsworth

“Everything is excellent!! I have been stopping there every chance I get for over twenty-five years. It hasn’t mattered if I was on two wheels or eighteen! I used to joke that I had my own parking space right out front because it was always empty when I stopped in the semi. Always friendly staff and clean picnic area. It is even where I took my ex wife on our first date. There has been more times than I can count that I have made the drive just for the ice cream.”

“The service was very good. Had to ask for the music to be turned down so we could hear each other talk. The pizza was very good, loaded with fresh ingredients. Will definitely go back!”

“Great place to go and have a good time. Friendly staff who will customize your drinks. They offer free salted peanuts and you can just throw the shells on the floor, it helps keep the floor polished.”

“I went to dinner with friends. It was my first visit to cafe Dodici. I had the lasagna. The best I’ve had to date. It wasn’t heavy or too rich. It was the perfect blend of flavor, spice, and texture. The pasta was not heavy. The cheese was flavorful. Thoroughly satisfying. The service and the atmosphere was classy, timely, and engaging. The experience was memorable and I will be a returning customer. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience.”

“amazing food, so creative and yummy.”

“I stopped in to ask the owner about bringing students that are learning to speak English to the restaurant for lunch, not knowing they didn’t currently have seating. The owner told me it wasn’t a problem, she’d have picnic tables brought in to the room under construction. The owner and staff went above and beyond for my students! 5 out of 5! Thank you for your excellent hospitality! First time there and I’ll definitely be a regular customer! It’s no wonder all of my students chose this restaurant over the other 3 in town!”

“Just had supper. Staff was AMAZING!! So was the food. $70 for 5 people and we brought home leftovers. Highly recomend.”

“Best Bloody Mary I’ve had! Food is great, staff is friendly, environment is amazing!”

“I have loved everything I've eaten here The people are great! Breakfast is old fashioned Iowa. My favorite restaurant in this area!”

“I've been going to Dodici's Shop for years. They have the best tasting coffee drinks and they are consistently good. I always as for an iced latte or blended latte and less pumps of syrup and they always make it great. If I want to change up the flavor, they always have great recommendations (one time it was a salted caramel, marshmallow with chocolate drizzle pictured) or a board with special ideas for the month (like fall for Sept, Halloween for Oct, Valentines etc.) Truth be told, I don't usually step out of my comfort flavors. They have decaf options as well as smoothies and matchas.

They have fresh baked goods and I would definitely recommend trying some. My favorite is the lemon scone, which is perfectly lemony. My next favorite is oat walnut scone. (Pictured below.) The frosting is super whipped so if looks like whipped cream but tastes like frosting. My daughter likes their sour cream chocolate muffins and the sour cream coffee cake. My husband's favorites are the flourless oat cookie and the cranberry scone.

If you are looking for a nice gift for someone they sell a lot of neat items -- oh and Amana chocolates!

All of the workers are great and it's been nice getting to know the regulars over the years.”

“found this place after the farmers market, held on Thursday nights. Eaten there twice now and both the food and the price were top notch. We'll be back.”

“Really enjoyed our lunch. Will definitely return!”

“My wife and I ate here at noon March 14 while in town for an appointment. She had chicken cordon bleu and said it was much better than what she had at another restaurant in downtown Washington last fall. I ordered the 5-piece catfish strips with cole slaw and French fries. All very good. And included in our meals was a scoop of ice cream. We both chose strawberry. Our waitress was excellent. Will definitely eat here again when in town!”

“Love JP's. Food and drinks are always great! Thanks Jaron!”

“My wife and I ate here on March 7 at noon. We found the place clean and were greeted by a friendly waitress. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. Would eat here again when in town.”

“Do not heed your first impression upon entry. This place is essentially a portal to the 5th heaven. Food fit for gods; atmosphere comfort for heroes; prices suitable for mere mortals.”

“these subs are so good! I get sad when it's gone! lol!!”

“So I see everyone complaining about the drive thru. That's fine, you build a business in a location like this. I've been there several times with people although I've only ordered once, I got a bacon,egg, cheese sammich. The only complaint is the bacon wasn't crispy enough for my personal liking. Food itself was 25° hotter than any other place in town.”

“What you would expect feom any subway really. They had the bread I like which does seem to be the first one they always run out of. They had 3 people working so the line went fast.”

“We (8 of us) came in right before buffet was closing, instead of turning us away the woman working was extremely helpful and we came to agreement that there was enough on buffet for us except chicken, she graciously cooked up a bit more chicken and we filled up on some great food. THANKS !!”
