This place is great. I was looking for a good tenderloin and there are none better than bar and grill tenderloins. They do have a great tenderloin. Customers were great. The staff was amazing and very quick. My wife and I were very pleased and have been back numerous times.

Taco Tuesday is ok, not good.
Service sub par at best, STOP assuming everyone that walks in the door is a lifer and knows that just because the locals know it's Taco Tuesday that it means no point in the menu, except it doesn't. I had no idea if there was meat choices (there isn't) or toppings or sides (there are sides like fries) I'm glad I asked for the menu, as I almost thought about the nachos. Which I would have not known about if I hadn't seen a menu.
We did not appreciate the rudeness when she asked if we were ready to order and I replied how would we know we haven't seen a menu. Just for her to roll her eyes and come back and toss them on the table.
That attitude made me not want to spend my money there and my tip absolutely reflected her poor behavior. She could have earned 20 from me alone out of our group, instead of what was left over from the change. I work in the service industry and I appreciate both good food and service and it also would have been nice if our checks were correct but I have learned to pick and chose my battles but that also helped contribute to her not super tip.
To the taco loved the shell it's like fry bread and one taco is the entire basket you have been warned. Sadly it wasn't really warm my fries were not even close to warm and definitely floppy.
Really the stinker of the show was the server, so don't expect much.

Yankee Clipper is a great neighborhood spot with a fun atmosphere, good food, and friendly service. Love the patio on nice days, and their Taco Tuesday is always a hit. A solid go-to for drinks and casual bites in Ankeny.
