New American Restaurants in Ames, IA

“Always excellent service, food, and drinks. Great atmosphere. Aunt Maudes is our favorite restaurant in Ames.“

“Food was excellent! Waitress needed to be more attentive. We ordered appetizers and she brought 4 plates—there were 5 of us. Asked twice for another plate. Two in our group ordered burgers. Asked for ketchup when food came. She brought it after the burgers were eaten. Guess she wasn’t focused on serving!“

“I was planning to find a restaurant in town to grab a bite for breakfast, but the conference I was attending started early so I stepped in, hoping for something quick yet tasty. I explained that I was in a hurry, and I was assured that they could accommodate. Ordered an omelette with all the veggies and meats, which was made fresh but delivered quickly with a smile. Not a big menu, but exceeds many in-house hotel restaurant breakfasts.“
