1404 S Duff Ave, Ames, IA 50010, USA
Experience exceptional care with a dedicated menu and attentive staff that ensure a safe and enjoyable outing for all dietary needs.
My experience was great especially as someone that has celiacs and gets sick easily with cross contamination. They have a designated gluten free menu with so many options which I feel like is so hard to come by. Their staff was also on top of it. They make sure that they mark it as an allergy when putting through the order and then shortly after I ordered a manager came to our table to make sure that she had correct everything that I specifically ordered to ensure that they were extra careful handling my food. And while I never expect restaurants to be able to really accommodate me because it is difficult when they handle so many different gluten products It felt so nice to feel “normal” getting to eat out and feeling safe doing so. I truly can not say enough good things about my experience and the staff and give a huge kudos as I know they are like this with others who may have other sensitivities or allergies. Absolutely will make the two hour drive back to eat here again.

We visited the Ames location for the first time for a birthday and it was delicious! The service was prompt and attentive. Great selection of mocktails. Loved that it is quiet and you can easily carry on a conversation with others--even in a large group. Lots of gluten free options if you need those!
