“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.“

“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!“

“Good food and atmosphere even at 3 am“

“We really enjoyed working with Mike at Comfort Foods for our wedding. They were professional and the food was amazing! Thank you Mike!“

“A hidden GEM. The people who work here are very friendly. The coffee is amazing and my meal was excellent. Prepared well, hot, and fresh. I say it is a hidden gem because being located in the 60 Forward Facility, not many know it is open to the public of all ages. I went with my friends Gary and Leon and we loved it. Try the chicken salad, it was some of the best I have ever had.“

“They have so many yummy drinks and the staff are so friendly I love this place!“

“5 stars! Warm and cozy and makes you feel like at home. I will return for more great food and fun 🍻.“

“Great Breakfast items. Try the Hobo!! Great Service from Lisa & Talon!!“

“I am the type of person that loves positivity and giving great reviews. Give honor to where honor is due. And I give great reviews, call the managers and praise the service all the time. I have also had my share of terrible service and/or food and usually do not say a word. The experience I had this afternoon at Culvers in Ankeny was horrendous. The food that is. The drive through guy that took my order, payment and delivery was so kind and helpful. I ordered a cod dinner and was only able to eat some of the fish. The 2 sides I ordered were cheese curds and fries. Both were so cold, hard and dry. I was so disappointed. The roll that came with it was cold, hard and dry as well. The butter was good! I did eat most of the fish but it too was tough. WHAT has happened to Culvers? Don't they realize that they are not the only option for food? Sad to say but I will be going to those other options for my meals in the future. The concrete I ordered was sloppy (down side of cup) and melting but did taste good. I HATE leaving a poor review but come on Culvers. Do better. Be better. If it had been just 1 food this review would never have been written. Oh, side note. This was after the lunch rush and before dinner rush. It was close to 2. Got right into drive through with no waiting. Disappointed.“

“Great supper, server was super nice.“

“Probably my favorite place to go in Ankeny. Great food, and you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. super affordable drinks and the staff has always been awesome.“

“Gluten free menu!!! My daughter has Celiac’s disease & it was SO great to be able to sit down in a restaurant & have a safe meal for her to eat. Our hometown doesn’t offer this kind of menu so we were so impressed to find this gem of a restaurant. Great service & great prices. Thank you so much for giving us a night of “normalcy” of dining out. It’s much more challenging than most people realize.“
