After ignoring friend's complaints and claims of food sickness I experienced it for myself. Place has a stench that no one has fixed in the time I've tried to support them. The service has fallen even before they changed management. Is now worse. Can't keep help. Prices keep rising. It is sad to see it falling again. They are riding their previous reputation. We'll see how long it lasts.

We did not eat. Stopped for drinks before Cyclone game. We stopped and other bars across the street also. This place beat both of those. Great drink and a good price! This will be our go to place before a game.

Sitting at bar for 5 mins. Only a few people at bar. Girl with long dark hair just wanted to twirl her hair instead of waiting on customer's. Served local didn’t care about others. Never go back.

Cheep as hell on their portion size. For 13 dollars I got a turkey melt and less an ounce of potatoe chips. Don't waste your money at Whiskey River in Ames.

Well this is a surprise: I had the best buffalo chicken wrap of my life. Fresh, crisp lettuce, perfectly sauced chicken, the right amount of shredded cheddar cheese, and I exchanged ranch for Bleu cheese dressing, which was on the side. If unwrapping it wouldn't have been unseemly, I'd have shown you inside. I opted for sweet potato fries, but took most of them home because I enjoyed the wrap so much! My other party had the whisky burger and regular fries, and he was happy too. Our server was attentive and quite friendly, and that's awesome because she had the bar and other tables to help. I've been to Whiskey River before, but this visit was a standout. Thank you for making my day!

Friendly staff. Service was fast. I had a Ruben sandwich, it would have been better with less dressing on it. Other than that we had a good experience.
Great old pub atmosphere. The food is delicious and affordable, and the drink selection is great! We look forward to going back in the future.

Great spot to grab a drink and a bite!

One of the rudest experiences I’ve ever had. This was by far a waste of time, being harassed non stop by the bartenders buddies. This is not where to go if you desire an adult evening out. No one else’s business in the city of Ames has ever been this rude to me once, I will continue going elsewhere.

Husband & I came in last Wednesday May 14th, ordered shrimp street tacos with chicken instead of shrimp. Bartender had no problem doing this. The tacos were amazing! Came back the following Monday May 19th to order them again and was told there was no way I could order those tacos with chicken. 😒 So I ordered the shrimp tacos and had to order a piece of grilled chicken to replace the shrimp and build the tacos myself. Not sure why one bartender/ cook is able to do this for a customer and the next one refuses. But the tacos I had to make myself today were delicious. Guess I’ll just stay home and make them myself from now on.

Other than it being loud (over 40, hard to have a convo) such great service, great (strong) drinks, fast food and good quality! Will definitely be back! Was super impressed with how friendly and attentive the staff were!!!
