4 Best Buffets in Ames

“Could be better... The pizza was lukewarm and the sausage was spicy (I don't eat pepperoni), so I was relegated to cheese pizza. It was good at least. The salad bar was okay, not the best or worst I've been to. The dessert cookie was good as was the ice cream I paired it with.

The Mac and cheese was good but almost mush from over cooked noodles. For the price there need to be some major improvements. The swallow nesting under the eves need to be taken care of too, major turn off for me.“

For the most part the staff are nice and kind to customers, and the food is usually relatively warm and fresh. Storms has hours until 8:30pm, which is later than a lot of other halls. However, it is not open for dinner on Friday and is not open at all on Saturday's.“
