Restaurants in Ames

“I liked it. I ordered my salad in a wrap with the berry smoothie. Yes, I paid $13 for 2 items, but it was fresh, no salt or additives. Sugar came from natural food. I enjoy fast food, but my doctor has discussed with me the cons of consuming processed meals. If I replace at least HALF of my take out choices with something like this (and it DID taste very good) I will see healthier results. I also like not wasting food, sustainable packaging and selectable options. After eating I did not get sleepy as other togo meals do to me, but instead had more energy. Simplicity is my goal so I'll definitely drive thru again.”

“We went for a day late Valentine’s dinner and was not disappointed! Noah at the bar took care of us and we couldn’t have asked for better service…. Amazing! The chef Steve was very helpful with menu items and both had the best customer service. The food was wonderful and don’t skip dessert…. Delicious!!!”

“My wife and I had an amazingly fun time on St Patrick’s Day. The staff were incredibly nice and fun, especially given how busy they were. The entertainment was great! We’ll be back next year! Thank you!!”

“We are Cyclones fans, so this is the place to go for all winter sports. (Especially wrestling). Get there early for parking. You may walk a distance to get there from the parking lot. The steps at the south entrance are showing their age and need repair. Interior is great for a sports venue. You may have to navigate a number of stairs, but that is expected in a coliseum.”

“Tasty pho and boba tea. The place was busy and Jimmy provided excellent service. Very impressive work. Thank you for making it a great experience! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“The food is good but in our experience this restaurant consistently fails to meet their promised pickup time for carry out orders. Over and over again I walk in and the order isn’t ready even though it’s actually beyond the promised time. Very disappointed.”

“I had the salmon newburgh and it was delicious! The salmon was so hot, I had to let it cool. It had shrimp and fresh tomatoes in a pink sauce! Loved every bite although brought home leftovers. Would definitely order again!”

“The Sunday afternoon music and outdoor setting is a great way to spend time with friends and family! Beautiful setting and delicious wine! Thank you for a fun afternoon!”

“Visited 12/2023, pretty easily accessible. I had their Mega Clark's Punch and it was delicious! Staff was very friendly! Will stop by again during my trips to Ames.”

“It's a fine Hy Vee. The Wine and Spirits clerks are particularly fun employees to chop it up with. Any time I need help, the folks there are always on the ball. One time some random asshole college student came up to me and tried to recruit me to join his Amway team, but that's mostly just a funny anecdote and has nothing to do with the store. I hope his pyramid scheme fails and he gets punched at an Insane Clown Posse concert.”

“Good food, nice staff, good atmosphere. The drinks were OK, good, hibachi services and good sushi. They seemed understaff, the waiter never came back to ask for drinks or refills.”

“We came in an hour before close and our server was efficient with getting orders put in and we didn't feel rushed at all while the staff readied for closing. We all had endless shrimp and everything was delicious. Very happy to see it is a permanent menu item.”

“Some of the food is gross through delivery. I had undercooked beef and chicken and the sesame chicken was rock hard. But dining in is so good! Never can go wrong with dining in for some hy-chi!”

“My daughter (4) & I loved the afternoon high tea event! The atmosphere was nice, the food was delicious & the event had a special ambiance about it. We will enjoy more visits here in the future!”

“FYI for non-locals: This is actually located inside the grocery store - you enter their front door and walk to the right in order to place an order at the counter and then get seated in the “restaurant”. Unconventional but food was tasty!Parking: Grocery store parking lot”
