Pizza Pit

We were traveling home and spent the night in Ames. Having two small kids with us we decided to order pizza and the hotel staff said the Pizza Pit had great pizza and the Taco Pizza was the best. We ordered three pizzas, Taco, Deluxe Combo and a cheese for the kids. The Taco did not disappoint, amazing. Actually ALL the pizza were great. So glad we found the place and the next time we pass through, we will make sure to stop in! Thank you to all the staff and the delivery person!

Pizza was pretty good, a little greasy but good flavor.  My mistake for not asking for well done and extra sauce but overall a good pizza. Rating for me is a 7.7

College town pizza at its finest. Have been eating here since i was a kid. I have never once been disappointed with the quality of the pizza in 15+ years. If you are ever in Ames, this is a must stop.

On the first evening of a recent visit to Ames, I had a chance to try the Pizza Pit. It felt like places I had visited 35 years ago in my high school days. Same sort of furniture, decorations, and music. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the visit got even better when the pizza showed up. Very, very good! I highly recommend this place.

Excellent! Never had a bad experience at Pizza Pit. If you are looking for a consistent product, plus great delivery and service, you cant go wrong with Pizza Pit! I tried the Siriacha Chicken Bites which were crunchy on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside, with just the right amount of heat. I had my usual for Pizza, Sausage, Pepperoni, and Green Olives, 14 inch. The thing that really stands out is the sauce which is rich and tomatoy tasting. All in all very good, thanks Pizza Pit!

Blue Fish Hawaii Poke Bowl

My new favorite place in Ames! Great protein and super fresh ingredients, I have took 3 poke bowls a week and never gotten sick ever! The salmon and tuna are amazing. The staff is always nice and accommodating! The place is always clean too. Would highly recommend!

Please do not sleep on this place!! Tried this spot for the first time today and was not let down. Did a build your own regular bowl and they are very generous with the portions of the ingredients. Everything was fresh as well. It was so worth it, I can’t wait to have more.

The food wasn't all that great for 12 dollars. The cucumber was bitter making everything taste bad. They share grabbers amongst food items. I have a mango allergy, but I took the risk anyways. I cannot determine if I had a reaction or not but I can't go there again to wanting to preserve my health. As I cannot guarantee food items weren't scooped by the mango scoop.

I ordered a Regular Bowl with 2 Protein: Salmon & Squid Salad, eel sauce, brown rice, etc. It tastes good!!

Love this place!! My boyfriend and I became regulars and go at least once every 1-2 weeks :) The ingredients always taste fresh and they put in a generous portion of salmon. 100x better than the poke bowl at the MU for sure. The owners are always very nice as well!!

Brick City Grill

Honestly my only complaint was the booth we got was ripped up and falling apart. Owner needs to sink a little money in and either replace the fake leather seat in the booths or switch them over to solid wood.

Outside of that small complaint, the food is very good decently priced. Portion sizes are very nice. They're signature drinks are addictive, you'll get hammered fast.
More people should check this place out its actually a very nice bar/grill for dates or gatherings with friends.

I will be returning again.

We enjoyed our lunch here. We were seated quickly; service was good all around. My son and husband were happy with the menu -- several places in town are a little upscale/trendy for them: they're hamburger/fish and chips guys, and were happy here. Added bonus being able to watch college football. We'll be back!

Food was good.. service left something to be desired. About 4 tables in the place at 5 on Thursday- 5 servers either standing at the food window or at the bar. Had to go get my own to go box and find the check. Our server dropped the food and never returned

Nice place to stop in with friends. They have a good selection of burgers and they are pretty good. The fries have a seasoning that is OK but not great. My daughter was not a fan of the mac and cheese. We also got the "Nachos" as an appetitizer. It's made with tater tots instead of chips, and there is no meat. I am a stickler for clean tasty water and it was top notch. Our server was great even though he was running around like crazy trying to attend all of his tables. We never felt ignored. I did think it was silly to watch him get drinks and refills for everyone while the guy at the bar did nothing but chat with people. Excellent service is a team effort. The bar tender isn't showing this at all. I am sure our server is going to drop from exhaustion.

We had a nice lunch here. They had some tasty beers on tap and some pretty good food. This place specializes in burgers and your typical bar food. The chicken sandwich I had was really good and I would order it again. The tots were fine. We hadn't really been back to this spot since they moved, but I happy with everything and will return.

Taza Fresh

Nice little spot that adds a little diversity to the food scene on that side of town. We ordered the falafel and were pleased to see it made to order. The wraps are a decent price and filling. I would recommend this spot to locals and out of towners.

My daughter and I tried this place for lunch yesterday. The food is decent. However, the prices are ridiculous for the type of restaurant that it is and the quality of the food. We each ordered a wrap meal which includes a side and a drink. For my side, I chose the hummus. The cashier asked if I wanted pita bread with the hummus. Of course I wanted pita bread...how else are you supposed to eat hummus...with my fingers? Then found out after that they charge extra if you want to eat the hummus on pita bread! Why would you offer hummus as a side if you have to pay an additional charge for the pita bread to eat it with? The bill came to $32 for the 2 of us which I thought was outrageous. Way overpriced! We will not be going back.

Super fresh and delicious! Service was amazing and friendly.

Fresh and flavorsome! Options for meat and veggie lovers. Friendly staff who prepared my meal quickly and from fresh!!! I got their falafel which was warm and well seasoned. I can’t wait to try all of their offerings and will absolutely be back!

Delicious! I felt so sorry for them because they are experiencing a lot of early success and were slammed with Door Dash orders when we got there and were churning out dozens of wraps. Clearly Ames was in desperate need of some Mediterranean food! So we did wait a long time for our food but that did not bother me, however you should be aware of this and plan for it. Also their dine in area is very small so be aware of that as well. The portion sizes were generous. All the food tasted delicious and so fresh. I am from out of town but if I weren't I'd be in there at least once a week eating. I wish them all the success, mashallah.

Red Lobster

Clean, friendly environment! Our waiter was very kind and knowledgeable of menu. The Sangria was refreshing. I ordered the All You Can Eat Shrimp with a side salad. The side salad was fresh and just the right amount. Next as an appetizer we had Crabby Cheese Fries, they were worth a try, but not something I would personally order again. The shrimp was delicious they were out of Tequila Lime Shrimp so I ended up getting Crispy Dragon Shrimp, Garlic Shrimp Scampi, Grilled Shrimp Skewer, Parrot Isle Jumbo Coconut Shrimp, and Walt's Favorite Shrimp! If you enjoy a little kick, try the Crispy Dragon Shrimp. If you want something that is simple not buttery, nor greasy the Grilled Shrimp Skewers are delicious simply delicious. Also, if you’re a coconut lover like me try the Parrot Isle Jumbo Coconut Shrimp,, I get these every time!

I don’t expect a lot from the food bc we are in iowa and it’s a little unrealistic to think that it’s not going to be frozen but the calamari was freezer burnt. The server was great though. I went to the restroom before leaving and trusted my kids wouldn’t cause too much trouble looking at the lobsters. I came out and Mike was getting a lobster out to show my kids. What an amazing experience for them!! They didn’t stop talking about it all night. Awesome job Mike!

Decent seafood for the Midwest.  We usually stop a couple times a year, but go early for dinner as gets so busy.  Service was great.  Enjoyed taking home some extra cheddar bay biscuits.

My husband and I went out to eat at the Ames Red Lobster on Dec 24 for Xmas and our 15th wedding anniversary. We saw our waitress just to order. We were in a booth right by the kitchen door, and could hear her laughing and talking the whole time.

The food was horrible. We've been to Red Lobster a lot so we know how stuff normally tastes. We both had the shrimp pasta but the shrimp had tails and the pasta sauce was the consistency of paste. We both had shrimp scampi and there was barely any sauce and the shrimp were rubbery. All of our food was half cold, even the plates were room temp.

When we wanted to pay and leave, our check didn't show up on the machine at our table. We waited 20 minutes and finally my husband got the hostess. We could still hear out waitress talking and laughing. The hostess had to fix our receipt because it was at the wrong table. Our waitress finally came out as we were leaving but didn't say anything.

We planned to do some shopping but went home because I got very sick.

I sent Red Lobster a message on Facebook and was ignored.

I've never gotten crab legs that were too salty to eat until this trip. Even the replacement batch was hardly edible. There probably isn't a lot the staff could have done to avoid that happening but it was disappointing. The service was great though and everything else was pretty good.

Walmart Supercenter

Good selection. Not overly friendly though. Just your standard Wal-mart. They do have quite a few self checkouts, so getting in and out is pretty easy which is nice.

Bought a $100 gift card back in electronics. No one told me that gift cards weren't activating at registers. Get home try to use it and it's not active. Called electronics and a supervisor said to come to the service desk and they'll take care of it. It's an hour round trip for me. I get here and walk in and am told the service desk is closed. Spoke to Irit and was told nothing could be done. No solution offered what-so-ever. Had to call a corporate number to get a solution.

It's a Walmart. Same store as last time I was asked to review. No really rude staff and only had to snap on another person's kid once..
Sorry not sorry but folks other people don't think your kids behavior is as cute as you do....

Boone, not good to match their own prices they have on shelves.
They also have so much stuff hanging Goodluck reaching in and getting something. They all fall. Look at photos.
If this is about  Ames. Ok, lots of extra dolls on top of the shelf, that's nice!
( my post here, which is which,  it's not clear,  so I'm writing above for both)

If you want me to write about coralville, ia city, cedar rapids- they're the same, meaning  good, rarely find workers,

Lady at customer service with the long black hair and I think glasses on today’s date around 5:45ish was very snotty. I needed a money order to get cash off my debit card that wasn’t working at ATM’s. She argued that that’s “not what they are intended for” and had to argue against her personal opinion to have one sold to me. She wasn’t even a part of the transaction and decided to give her input into a situation she had nothing to do with. She then tried to say my Walmart debit card won’t work without even knowing what kind of card it is. Long story short it worked just fine.The lady at the register was very nice and helped me get my money order. The other lady said I can’t cash it at Walmart because it won’t work right away in a very unpleasant tone. I don’t know what she thinks customer service is, but that was not it. Very rude from her, very nice from the lady at the register.

Papa Murphy's | Take 'N' Bake Pizza

We used to enjoy pizzas and such from here.

However, after the last few visits with food being messed up and being told it would be made right on our next visit and nobody ever following up makes this a last resort choice.

Also, just 2 weeks ago I ordered a keto pizza. What a joke. Honestly. $14.00 for one single small layer of cheese, a few small pieces of chicken and a handful of spinach that is not even enough for a meal. Calling and asking for a manager, the guy on the phone saying he wrote your number down and will have the manager call you first thing the next morning and doesn't, thats not good service.( As you can see in the pics)

Definitely very much lacking in customer service.

Great pizza for a good price! Only $17 for this stuffed crust beast!!!!

This is the most delicious pizza ever. I have been coming here for years. If it I'd my birthday my parents will still in my adulthood often get me a Chicago style, my favorite, for the occasion. Decent prices for a huge pizza. I love the cheese bread and salads. It's nice to be able to pick up a cold liter of pop too. The staff is always nice. Haven't been in here in awhile because I have had some financial issues but will definitely stop in again soon. Live this place.

Always excellent, never had a bad experience at Papa Murphy's, sorry if you have!

The convenience of this pizza store blows me away.  My friends and I have decided to take up their Tuesday special EVERY tuesday all throughout summer since their stuffed pizza is just that phenomenal to eat once a week.  The quality is through the roof high and so well worth baking yourself.  Worth experiencing and really a good idea for us college students in the area.  I don't know why it isn't bigger or busier all the time...

The Big Biscuit

Picky Kees' FYI: If you don't like eggs (like me), this place has several great backup options like grits, fruit, extra meat, or potatoes

Ambiance: We opted to sit outside because we had a dog, but I did take a peak inside, and it's decorated simply, but I loved it! Lots of seating, not too close but intimate enough, big windows, so there's lots of natural light.

Service: Our server Kevin was amazing. He was extremely helpful and kind. Answered all our questions and continued with excellent service even after our bill was paid.

Food: I've only had this place once before a year or more ago. I remembered really enjoying things the first time and fortunately for me it was the same this time, my red white and Blueberry waffle had a great balance of all the fruit,  the sausage patties and home fries were another stand out. The yardbird was huge, able to take home and eat the next day. Overall, we loved this place.

It was my first time. I got the half biscuit with jack cheese hashbrowns and pumpkin pancakes. Our waiter Tony was super amazing, kind and seemed to live just being there. Guy needs a raise. Our food was amazing, definitely your money's worth and left me super full. Definitely will be back. Keep up the amazing work.

My first visit to the big buscuit was amazing. I ordered the "Haymaker" : French fries topped with Buffalo chicken tenders topped with cheese, a side busciut, and gravy. It was amazing. Tenders were spicy but not overpowering. They were seasoned perfectly. My Arnold Palmer tea was great as well. Just remember to ask for sugar. The wife had the big scrambowl : a bowl of eggs,cheese,cremini mushrooms ,potatos,sausage and ham. It also came with a big buscuit. The highlight of the meal was our server Cooper. He was informative and funny and knew the menu well. He didn't vanish, and he even let us know that he was going to give us time to eat and would be back.

Visited this morning ar 7:30am - I ordered the French toast plate... I had to send it back. It tasted like eggs do when they smell like a sulfur type taste. I could smell it too. I feel kind of dumb saying this, but I even tried to make it taste better with more syrup , because I  was craving French toast. Didn't work. Still tasted funky. I told the manager and get this...she only gave me a .50 cent discount off my meal. You read that right. Aubrey the manager this morning took off only .50 cents for my whole plate of French toast I paid for. So my bill was $14.00 for 1/2 my meal. Honestly that felt like a "screw you" move. She was short with me and not friendly about it at all. The taste made me not want to finish my eggs and potatoes so what a waste of a breakfast and money. We also waited around a long time for our bill, finally we got up and walked over to our server. My friends biscuit we could tell was left over from yesterday. Hard and not fresh. We won't be returning

Fastest breakfast I've ever had brought it to me! Deliciously large portions, great coffee and staff was so kind!

Flame and Skewer

Very nice little place The customer service was excellent. Had the Prime Rib special and fried mushrooms.

Seriously the BEST PLACE IN TOWN FOR STEAK! Love this place for the past 14 years that we've lived here. Never let us down.

We had eaten here many times in the past and were very satisfied. However, last night was a disaster! I ordered a steak sandwich and baked potato. The potato was hard and not cooked through. The steak which was about 4 oz only was med rare instead of med which I ordered.. I sent it back, however the worst was that the meat for the steak was spoiled …rotten! I ate 2 bites and quit because I knew I Would be sick all night with food poisoning! I didn’t even take it home for my dog! I don’t know if tbey left it out too long, or not kept refrigerated or if it was old or what but it would have been dangerous to eat. Service was slow and the space is dark and dingy. Will Never go back! When we complained about something being wrong with the steak, he did not seem to care and just said “I’ll let someone know” . My husband had French fries and they were greasy and I think the oil they used was old. French fries r a pretty basic thing to cook, so for me this is a statement about the restaurant and food would never recommend! Lyn Wilson

Went there for a steak on our anniversary.  The wait staff was exceptional, had a nice chat with the waitress after the meal about misc topics.  For the food, sent first steak back as it was over cooked, and second had very little flavor.  I ended up taking most of it home and searing it with salt and pepper the next day and it was then perfect. If I liked dousing it in A1, it would have been ok.

Always tasty and friendly service. Wanted to take a moment to show support for this great restaurant in Ames. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to the next visit! The Reuben was fantastic.

I have to share my mystery experience here in the morning.
I took 3 cans of baby formula to check out. I wanted to spend the formula check I received from formula producer, so I went from check-out counter. The machine suddenly broke down, no one knew how to deal with it. I think that’s okay as machines always had problems. BUT, the store guys just let me wait there for 20 minutes by only saying one sentence of “the machine always go wrong”, I just waited there seeing people come and go and my daughter seated in the trolley asleep, I had to calm her down.
Excuse me, is it the machine let you make your customer wait there for that long time and let no one to help? Is it the machine that stoped you telling your team member to fix the problem? I even had to explain to a new check out person what happened. To be polite, I did not express my anger at the spot at the time, but is it a good manner you run a service business like that? ???  How do you train your team? Every time I enter your store I saw the slogan “my team and I are happy ti help”. Is it your way to help?

The store was so crowded that we couldn't pick up everything we needed. Half of the congestion was employees picking online orders. Not going back there

Update: in the summer of 2022, a new bike rack has replaced the rusty one.

Brand new store. Helpful and knowledgeable employees. Deserves a newer bike rack (late 2020). As of April 2021, the dying bike rack seems to double as a garbage collector. The contrast with the squeaky clean, superbly maintained parking speaks volumes.

Not going to share the secret time to shop here (early early morning) but as long as you avoid the dancing stockers, you can get in and out super fast.

Walmart is my Deals on Wheels got to have that without that whole life will get pretty expensive and out of control thank you Walmart for sharing your hospitality with me I mean it's almost impossible to beat the prices on the merchandise or their produce anything they have in that store it's hard to beat the prices and everybody's friendly and helpful in any way possible to accommodate you I give them a standing ovation
