Restaurants near Slater

“If you haven’t visited The Slater Station — you are missing out! A small town bar with a big, warm, down-to-earth personality! The staff is kind and seem genuinely concerned that the patrons get what they came for, a good time. The outdoor patio is skillfully designed and comfortable, the bar is stocked and ready and the smiles are infectious. The inside space is also inviting and the restrooms are squeaky clean. Big shout out to the staff for your genuine hospitality. We hope to see you again soon!”

“This beautiful place caters to bicycle riders during the day. After a long ride I was able to sit back and drink a beer and eat a yummy cheeseburger and tots. The place was loaded with people in stretchy shorts and bike wear. Great food and service.”

“We hired B Fabulous for our wedding this past June and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The entire team was professional, organized, and a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Communication was excellent throughout the planning process, and everything ran smoothly on the big day. The food was both delicious and affordable, and we received countless compliments from our guests about how wonderful the meal was. Highly recommend!”

“10/10 would deffo recommend friendly lads best ice cream”

“Had it on our list for Ankeny Chinese restaurants and so glad we tried it. Small place, 3 big tables. Very attentive staff. Recommended good combos. Fair priced food. Can’t beat 4 crab rangoons for $2.50! The packaging is super cute and high quality. They cooked the food after we ordered it so we waited maybe 5-10 minutes but it was piping hot when they delivered it to our table. Will 100% be back again. So glad we found this Ankeny gem!”

“Had the Tuscan Slice, which was a great combination of flavors and perfect crust! Great selection and quick! Will definitely be back.”

“Hawker’s Kitchen is hands down one of the best Malaysian and Singaporean restaurants you can find in the country. From the moment you step in, the atmosphere feels warm and welcoming, setting the stage for an authentic Southeast Asian dining experience.

The food is outstanding — every dish is cooked with care and packed with rich, bold flavors that taste just like what you’d find at hawker stalls in Kuala Lumpur or Singapore. The ingredients are fresh, portions are generous, and the balance of spices is perfect. Whether you’re craving savory noodles, fragrant rice dishes, or their incredible curry noodle soup (laksa), everything here is a hit.

The service is just as impressive as the food. The staff are friendly, attentive, and passionate about what they serve, which really elevates the whole experience. You can tell they take pride in sharing authentic Asian flavors with their customers.

If you’ve been searching for a place to satisfy your Asian food cravings, look no further. Hawker’s Kitchen won’t disappoint. I highly recommend this spot — once you try it, you’ll definitely come back for more!”

“Definitely our go to resturant. The drinks. The food. The atmposphere. All of it!”

“This place is so cute and we had great food and service! The oatmeal pies are dangerous - be careful! 😂 but for real absolutely amazing! Would go back if we were ever in the area again!”

“This restaurant is my guilty pleasure food to eat. Pancakes are something I would never go to a restaurant for but OHH!!! These pancakes taste like dessert! Everything I’ve tried has been great. Prices are fabulous. Staff are friendly. Service is quick. Haven’t tried the non-breakfast items but why would you when there’s PANCAKES! Only negative is they aren’t open for dinner during the week. Oh and the coffee drinks are great.”

“Amigos has delicious food and friendly staff. 100% recommend 👌”

“Food was great and so was the service!!!”

“Very surprised by the atmosphere of this location. No one greeted me at all and it was my first time here. I had to greet them and ask them if i just wait here (pick up preorder) and i got a weird look with a yes. Only came for an order because my nieces and sil love this place. didn’t enjoy the vibe of it all.”

“Great place to grab a protein shake. The choices available turn a shake into your favorite flavors. The Ankeny in my favorite . There is also a nice area to chat and meet up with friends”

“Good food and atmosphere even at 3 am”

“Good tasty bowls. The only negative is the Shredded Crab is fake and not posted on menu. Pleasant staff and honest when questioned about their crab. Also, I would have preferred the chicken used in the meal would have been freshly grilled. Instead pale processed diced chicken is used. This place could be a goldmine if they just upped their game a bit.”

“This place has amazing breakfast. I would highly recommend it.”

“A MUST TRY! I picked up a doordash order here and the food looked and smelled so good I had to come back and try it. I was not disappointed! I ordered a small burrito meal and was so full before I finished it. But, the taste was SO good I almost finished the whole thing.”

“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!”

“Best breakfast burrito in Ames 🤩 & always great customer service!”
