19 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Ames

“Fantastic cook thanking his staff. Exceptional service by all! Ames, Iowa.“

“My niece already said that we HAD to eat here... and indeed... the Chick-Fill-A was delicious... juicy chicken and tasty waffle fries with delicious sauce (what we would call ham sauce in the Netherlands.)
Favorite among fast food chains.“

“I drove 220 miles to have potato cakes. The dummies in Minnesota decided to not serve potato cakes any more and replace them with crinkle fries. I've see stupid moves before but this takes the cake. Literally“

“I brought my son in today for his Birthday and they gave us a free meal and he also got a free shake! We could not thank them enough! My son loved his shake and we loved the food! (It was a first visit for both of us)!“

“Got to love Arby’s.. It’s a 50/50 risk your order may be screwed up, but if they have cherry turnovers it makes the order screw up bearable“

“My fave go to Burger 🍔 place!“

“It’s a fun treat for the fam, especially after a hot baseball game. Love all the ice cream options! I’ve only had a few disappointing visits but that would only make up less than 5% of my visits. The pic is from one such visit. He filled the bowl with so much ice cream there wasn’t enough room to get enough strawberry sundae topping on it 🫣“

“There are a lot of places to get pizza in Ames, but blaze is by far the best of the best. Their staff is always quick and helpful. The team is down to earth and very accountable, Atmosphere is very laid-back, even when it’s busy it never takes very long! I drive 45 minutes at least a couple times a week just to have the pizza from blaze!

on another note, I’ve gone to other plays franchises in other states and the customer service and food are nowhere near the level the one in Ames!“

“Lobby closed at 8:00, had to drive thru, even though website said they were open. Blizzard was lacking fruit, ordered strawberry & pineapple, there wasn't hardly any strawberries in it. Could only taste the pineapple. Very disappointing.“

“Love Love Love this place! The food is awesome and always hot and yummy! Best place for sandwiches that we’ve found!“

“The food is always mostly full of lettuce and maybe a small scoop of meat or without lettuce is mostly cheese then. But the food is fresh or seems to be hot at all times just don't know how to portion the food being sent out. The associates seem to be nice people tho!“

“Very filling but so good👍🏼“

“I ordered catering this weekend for a bridal party as they got ready for their big day. The sandwiches were delicious, but the service was even better! The staff went out of their way to make the process as easy as possible, allowed me to pick up before they opened, and they even provided 2 sets of condiments. The best part…..they did that without me asking. When I ordered the staff explained the boxes and I said two would be great, so I have one for the bride suite and one for the groom suite. They went out of their way to make sure it was perfect and it was!!“

“The staff was friendly and knew their business. I liked the way they were able to "up the sale". Promote that team.“

“🐼🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Panda Express Dream Team: Nate & Jaime!

Let me just say, this wasn’t your average drive-thru experience it was a culinary comedy show meets fiv star service courtesy of Nate and Jaime!

First up, Nate: the Michelangelo of Mandarin chicken. This guy isn’t just making food, he’s creating masterpieces. The noodles? Perfectly cooked. The orange chicken? Crispy, tangy, and life-changing. If there were a wok Olympics, Nate would take home the gold every time. I swear I could taste the passion in every bite.

Then there’s Jaime at the drive-thru, who deserves an award for Best Service with a Side of Humor. He greeted me with a smile so big I could hear it through the intercom. When I pulled up, Jaime handed over my bag like it was a treasure chest full of golden dumplings. He even cracked a joke about how my order of extra orange chicken was the “only logical choice.” And let me tell you, he wasn’t wrong.

These two turned a quick stop for food into an event worth writing home about. Panda Express, hold on to Nate and Jaime they’re the MVPs of your menu. 🐼🔥🍚 12/10, would happily sit in traffic to experience this again!“

“I accidentally ordered a pizza for the wrong day, and they remade it for me at no charge. I was able to pick up my pizza today without payment ng anymore, and it was so so delicious! Thank you Papa John's for your graciousness and amazing service.Also, there's a really good deal right now for a free medium Pizza when you buy one large.“

“Been to this location many times over the years. Went here fairly recently and the service is still quite good. Works with the same efficiency as always even if the employees were a bit disgruntled to be working on the first day of the new year. The location is looking a bit older, but the food is still great for the price.“

“Had not been in a Subway in quite a while. The gentleman behind the counter couldn't have been nicer. Very accommodating. Wheat bread on my Italian sub was unbelievable. Prices have definitely gone up. Fast food is no longer affordable. We were eating on the run while driving back to Kansas City, so the price wasn't that big a factor. All in all, it was a very good experience.“

“This location is really decent with amazing nice staff and they really give you what you ask for like extra cheese unlike other franchise places I won't name, names but they do give you your money's worth and that's what makes me keep coming back don't ever change thanks.???“
