The Other Place Ankeny Reviews
Great food great fun!
I ordered the Turkey Bacon Croissant but the sandwich was made using a Ciabata bun instead. No comment from our waitress as to why. I ordered cottage cheese for my side and it was warm. We had to ask for silverware after our food was delivered. Our waitress was cheerful and courteous and our food was delivered shortly after we ordered.
We were a birthday party and they weren’t super busy but our waiter seemed to be new or overwhelmed but it all ended up great!
