Small town diner kinda place. Good food. Service was friendly but a little disorganized (not a big deal). Had to go down in the scary basement to find a restroom so not good for folks e mobility issues. But given the food was good and people friendly, I would return.

So it was our first time and we got sat right away, got water with little bit of ice. The restaurant is from the 50s and never been changed. Not sure if they have ever cleaned the vents or walls. Food was decent, but no gloves worn and cross contamination would be a thing. No refills were given unless you flagged someone down. Also more than one customer had to ask for silverware, including us, after the food came.

Small diner-type restaurant in downtown area. They have an open kitchen so you can see your order being made. I arrived at 10:30 in the morning on Saturday and ordered the special with tea. Service was quick and friendly. The special was the country platter, which was ground beef, hash browns, and eggs along with toast. It was very good and filling but could have had a bit more seasoning. I put on a lot of ketchup and hot sauce. Tea was just Lipton, but it was also good; they give you a pitcher of hot water for refills. Affordably priced at around $15 for the meal and drink. I recommend going here for breakfast or brunch if you are in town.

We stopped in for an early breakfast right when they opened up on a weekday. Food was great, and the atmosphere was cozy. Would definitely recommend a stop! Keep in mind, it's cash or check only!

We stopped in here for a bite to eat on our way home from a retreat. The people was amazing. Food was top notch, prices as as good as it gets. Best sweet tea in 700 miles
Arrived for breakfast at 9:30ish-2 in party. We grabbed an empty booth. Server immediately came over to ask if I wanted coffee, and brought it. However took another 15 minutes for her to take order. During that wait time, 2 additional parties were seated, and had orders taken. When our order was finally taken, 2 more groups were seated, orders taken. Their food all delivered before ours. Unsure what we did for server to treat us with no concern. Nice man that checked us out at register asked how everything was, and I couldn't answer. He could tell something was up, and said he'd cover the bill. I offered to pay for our meals but he insisted. And at that time, server was so nice and friendly in front of this man, opposite of how she was with us.

I consider this to be the OG breakfast spot in Ames. There is a quote on the wall that says “Just like home, you don’t always get what you want.” Talk about an inviting atmosphere, I fit right in! The pancakes are why people come here…. well that and to listen to the locals rattle each other’s cages. The atmosphere makes it feel like you stepped into an old sitcom where everyone knows your name. There is a certain nostalgia I feel since my grandfather started taking me here as a little boy. I now take my kids here and talk about the good old days.

This is a great little place to have breakfast. Nothing fancy, just wonderful service, really good food, and a great place to sit and have a chat with good friends over a cup of coffee. I highly recommend them for breakfast and brunch.
