“Our company hosted a catered lunch for all employees and chose Whatcha Smokin'. The food was warm, fresh and tasted great! John did a great job with both setting up and tearing down, leaving the area spotless. We fed over 65 people today with plenty of food to spare. Thank you again for catering a great lunch for Percival!“

“I drive a bus and I stop in here once in a while to use the rest room and grab a snack. About a year ago, I had lunch there and WOW! I didn't expect such great food because I expected your typical truck stop type fare, but no! I stop in there every couple months when my mouth is bored and needs some wakin' up!!! The Cowboy Quesadilla is my favorite and I'm not even a cowboy!“

We tried all the sauces likingbthem all. We didn't have time to order ice cream, but the menu was enough to bring us back.“

“This is the absolute best restaurant in Ames to get a sirloin steak! They also serve a wide variety of other meats as well! The experience overall is mostly exceptional…Except if you have to wait in line for about an hour or more. Regardless, I highly recommend dining in this restaurant if you’re in the Ames area.“

“We ordered food in bulk to share with our family as our sister is currently battling leukemia at Mary Greeley Hospital. We are into month 2 and she is still there. The food brought us closer as a family and we were able to share Dec. 23rd together to celebrate Christmas and surround her with love. She ate a bunch of food as she had not been eating much! I can not thank you enough for helping us have time to be a family and not worry about cooking! ♡“
