Restaurants near Story City

“This little cafe is a wonderful place to get awesome coffee and even better lunch. There isn't a bad menu item. Everything has a perfect combination of several flavors that work very well together.”

“While travelling, my girl and I stopped in. Vicky greeted up, and was immediately warm and welcoming. We ordered. And soon had our meal. To say it was delicious, would be an understatement. It was more than phenomenal. Great flavor, and cooked to perfection. We'll be back.10 stars + overall.”

“Alleys is a great pizza place. Reasonably priced and great food. We usually do pizza but have had their subs and some apps - all good. Delivery can be a while wait but if you plan accordingly it's worth it.”

“Awesome local bar with some friendly bartenders and great locals. I know many work places have groups that go in regularly a couple times a month for a cold beverage and great conversation. While you are there order pizza from next door at alleys. Great combo!”

“Excellent service, excellent food. One of the cleanest Subways, plus it's right across the street from the Boone County "Freedom Rock" (It's an Iowa thing, honoring service members). If you're on the road, great place to stop.Vegetarian options: You pick it, they make it. Use the app for speed.Kid-friendliness: Nice, quiet city.”

“Family friendly out going staff and great food. The arcade was nostalgic and fun plan on returning just for it and the food definitely helps. Overall caring and courteous staff right down to the bus boy who not only was diligent at his work but looked out for our family.Kid-friendliness: The staff are not responsible for your children in any place that you go for dining but I feel that these staff went above and beyond making sure that our little ones had the best experience”

“I went to this place on my way back from a school trip so there was a lot of people and the people working where quick and nice even tho some of the classmates where not acting there age and they even brought the food to my table and that was really nice of them because there was a lot of us and three of them thank you to the people working today”

“We came in at 6pm Christmas eve with custom mobile orders. There were 3 employees working I believe. God bless them for working and providing amazing service. Theyre the real gift givers this holiday season!Dietary restrictions: Provided no salt patties.”

“Great food along with a small grocery store. The Birria was AWESOME! This was our first visit but I can’t wait to get back to try more. Staff was very friendly.”

“I liked it. I ordered my salad in a wrap with the berry smoothie. Yes, I paid $13 for 2 items, but it was fresh, no salt or additives. Sugar came from natural food. I enjoy fast food, but my doctor has discussed with me the cons of consuming processed meals. If I replace at least HALF of my take out choices with something like this (and it DID taste very good) I will see healthier results. I also like not wasting food, sustainable packaging and selectable options. After eating I did not get sleepy as other togo meals do to me, but instead had more energy. Simplicity is my goal so I'll definitely drive thru again.”

“Best place in town for authentic Mexican and Tex-Mex. Speedy, happy service and the food is very good. Large variety on the menu too.Vegetarian options: They will make it however you need.Dietary restrictions: Great about dairy-free and gluten-free.Parking: Street parking along front and huge parking lot in back.Kid-friendliness: Happy, lovely place and great kids menu.”

“Another delicious night - the Mac and Cheese, Chicken Parmesan, sausage and mushroom pizza, squash and apple bisque, chicken and rice soup, grilled cheese, Korean steak and egg were all delectable!!!! The ambiance and service is perfection for a relaxing night with family.”

“Just broskis, I also heard you can sleep over. Couple dudes shared their experience and it sounded phenomenal. Make sure you shake their upstairs roommate’s hand!”

“Loved the fun experience of getting shaved ice so close to klineline pond ! We walked around with our kids after and it was such a fun experience! The shaved ice is very light and the flavors are so yummy ! I loved the blue raspberry and coconut one ! Definitely would recommend!”

“My two daughters and I stumbled across this cute little coffee shop as we waited for a volleyball tourney to start in a nearby town. This has to be the cutest coffee shop I've been into in a while. It had an aesthetic like something you would see straight out of a movie coffee shop, and the drinks were wonderful and reasonably priced. We did not eat, but many others around us did and as the food came out we really started to regret not having the time, it looked and smelled delicious.This is quite a ways from us, but we've already been planning another trip to the area just so we can come here again.”

“Food was pretty good, and the service was amazing and fast! The staff are so incredibly friendly and the whole place has a cute vibe to it. A great place to see friends or family for a cup of coffee or tea. There was one woman in particular who deserves recognition, as she ran all the way out to the parking lot to give my boyfriend his card that he forgot! Will definitely be giving my business to this place on the regular!!”

“Tasty pho and boba tea. The place was busy and Jimmy provided excellent service. Very impressive work. Thank you for making it a great experience! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“The Sunday afternoon music and outdoor setting is a great way to spend time with friends and family! Beautiful setting and delicious wine! Thank you for a fun afternoon!”

“Food was very good. Service was great!Reasonably priced for food and drinks both.Over all great small town place to eat and relax!Definitely not made to feel like a outsider!!!”

“This place has been around for years but for some reason my wife and I have never got around to trying it. Now that we are not dining indoors because of Covid, we decided to try their takeout service. (They don't deliver, and it's not on Doordash.) I'd give it a 3.5, which I'll round up to 4. The young woman who took my phone order was pleasant and efficient, and the order, when we got it, was completely accurate. My wife wanted to try the Tuscan chicken but when I attempted to order that over the phone, was told they don't do that meal on takeout. So, after a hurried conversation with my wife, she ordered the cod parmesan with cheesy risotto instead. I got the chicken parmesan. Both meals were pretty good but neither was memorable. The portions were large, giving each of us a leftover meal. (My wife is somewhat leery of leftover seafood meals; she says if the food isn't fresh the leftovers can be "fishy", but she says her leftover cod tasted fine.) Each entree came with a salad, a roll, and what appeared to be a garlic breadstick. The salad dressings (creamy garlic parmesan for me, ranch for my wife) were both excellent, and the bread was quite good as well. This may be a case where the side stuff actually tasted better than the main meal. Bottom line: a decent meal, but probably not good enough to get us to drive clear across town for takeout again. It's too bad the restaurant doesn't offer outdoor seating in the warm months, or provide delivery.”

“Now I know I don't go back to Subway. They don't take no coupons there's no meat on the sandwich and my dog was howling at me cuz there wasn't no meat on there.”

“This location is situated near the entrance to the North Grand Mall, but has an outside entrance as well. The store is small but the service is great and they made all of our sandwiches correct the first time (even with many modifications requested). Great sandwich shop in an okay location.Vegetarian options: Few veg options but they are tasty.Parking: Parking is for general mall patrons, delays the freaky fast claim to your sandwich.”

“Definitely meant to be a take out kind of place. It was our first time eating here and we dined in. Food was served on paper plates. Cashier had ear buds in and wasn't helpful answering questions about the menu. The food ended up being amazing but I thought it was crazy their substitute pricing for fried rice over white rice with a meal was $5.50.”

“It was great especially Melissa she was an amazing waitress great food great service great atmosphere especially for someone who doesn’t do cheat meals this is one of the best places in Iowa if you want actual good food”

“This location is AMAZING! I love coming here because the people are great at what they do. Nicholas, Cam, Sierra, Josie are fantastic and make you feel like family. I’m treated by name every time I come in and the fact that they know me is so sweet (and might be a sign I have a coffee problem). I worked the coffee shop gig for close to a decade and can honestly say that this location is one of the best around. Keep it up team!”

“I accidentally ordered a pizza for the wrong day, and they remade it for me at no charge. I was able to pick up my pizza today without payment ng anymore, and it was so so delicious! Thank you Papa John's for your graciousness and amazing service.Also, there's a really good deal right now for a free medium Pizza when you buy one large.”

“Great service, great food. I hadn't been to the new location yet. I was slightly upset when I found out they no longer serve their "Here today, gone to Maui" Mahi dish or Bison burgers. Overall, it was still a great experience, and I will be back!Parking: The parking lot behind the building is shared with other surrounding businesses, so it was a little difficult to find a parking spot. I would recommend coming early or planning on walking.”

“GREAT BURGS. Fries are excellent. Service is Iowa nice. Shakes are always "Iowa frozen". I even had to ask for extra lettuce for my parrot...(see picture). For a drive thru this is the best, plus you're supporting ”
