Typically I order to have picked up and brought to Ames, but this last order i ordered the Cajun Chicken Conb Salad which I thoroughly enjoy, however there was no chicken in the salad and there is nowhere else to complain or can I do anything about it 35 minutes later when I am opening the food. Usually everything is great food, as always but massively disappointed in the lack luster effort of putting my chicken In the salad.

First time,and boy have we been missing out! Great atmosphere, clean,and friendly staff. Breaded tenderloins are as advertised, GIANT! Not the flat and dry offerings of other places,but a nice thick meaty,and we'll breaded sandwich! I usually like thin onion rings, but theirs are thick,and oh so tasty! Great experience!

Stopped in with some friends. The food and prices were good. Staff was attentive and friendly. I don't really care for the setup. Not very many booths, and we were extremely close to the other tables. But besides that, I'd give it a 7/10 I'd recommend

What a great night with family, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. We did not know it was trivia and it was so fun. Emily helped us tonight and was so patient with our orders so friendly interacted with all of us, especially the little six-year-old.

We ordered from DoorDash, and everything we've tried—from pasta to sandwiches and burgers—has been outstanding. Each dish is packed with flavor, and the grinder pizza is absolutely our favorite.

First time here, and I thought everything was great. Atmosphere, service, food, and value. We had pizza, onion rings, and chips with queso dip. Probably one of the best servers we’ve ever had. Young man who made trips to the kitchen to personally get questions answered that we had before ordering. He never hesitated, and seemed pleased to do it. His shift ended before we were finished, and had another female employee that had just came on duty, took over for him, and was equally pleasant, and made sure that we were well taken care of. They have a menu with many options. We will definitely be going back. Probably good that we don’t live in Ankeny, because we would be eating out more than we do now just to try everything that that looked appealing on the menu.

waitstaff was very friendly and helpful when choosing our meal. I had the Kansas Rancher and it was very tasty, burger was cooked with a little pink on the inside and egg was cooked perfectly OE. fries had good seasoning. we also had chicken strips and shrimp all was made with the same breading, the kind that reminds me of a good fish filet breading. sounds like we need to go back to try the pizza

Cannot get enough of OP pizza. Clean facility, fast service, and plenty of TVs to watch while you eat. IMO, some of the finest pizza in ankeny.
