Restaurant

Good variety on the menu. Servers are kind and the place is clean and inviting. Food has come out at the right speed - not too quickly and not slowly. Order has always been right. Portions on most dishes are bigger for the price. Great value and good drinks, a few unique items on the menu. Give them a try.

Gonna cost $20 minimum for an order. You’re better off ordering from Szechuan where the min is less and food is a lot better.

Our burritos were okay. Not amazing but they were in the middle of filling a catering order of over 100 burritos. I will give them another try

Tacos in Ames is a tradition and Taco John's is one of my favorite for fast and fresh tacos. This store is clean and staff is very friendly.

Good fast fired pizza. Definitely my favorite shop in this style of pizza shops. Would recommend, take 5-10 minutes total.

I love the bugers and fries also the ice cream

Good Food

Great food and friendly people! I wouldn't go anywhere else for a burrito in ames.

Great food and always friendly service. The best pancakes EVER!!!

The hot pepper chicken was very good. Small little place good for lunch between classes. Don't be intimidated by the non-English signs: the food is worth it!

I decided to stop by India Palace after almost 3 years. I used to come here at least few times a month back when I lived in Ames and attended ISU. Our waiter was very friendly and prompt. The new ambience is also very trendy.

Taco Bell. Good price, good food, unhealthy(not in my mind though).

The food was good but there was an extremely long wait once we sat down to speak with our server and then once we ordered, for our food to arrive.

Love this place. We go every time we are in Ames. Awesome people who work there. Love the music and the vibe.

Great service and wonderful food!!! Definitely ready to go back. Portions were good.

We visited this place on opening day, way before Management changed. The food was pretty good, and the chef was extremely interested in improving on any suggestions we had. However, after visiting again today, much after the change in management, I'm sad to say that this place is easily the worst place I've ever eaten at. We waited 20 minutes to be served and another 30+ to get our food, even though we were one of two groups there at the time. The Crab Rangoons were burnt and not filled, the Spring Rolls were soggy, the fried rice came out cold, and the broth for their noodles tasted like someone took Campbell's Chicken Broth and mixed it with a few gallons of water so it lasted the whole day. The chicken in the soup looked extremely sickly as well, bad enough that we decided to avoid it entirely. Also, the Sriracha on the table had changed from it's bright red color to a muddy green/brown color. The staff ignored us the whole time, and left tables across the whole restaurant un-bussed for at least an hour. We will never be returning and I hope that this review will help you avoid wasting your time and money as well.

Kind staff and great location

Popular local fast food joint. Good burgers and chili

I've heard a lot of recommendations for this place, but found it to be highly overrated. We went there on a Friday night and were seated immediately. The atmosphere in the front of the restaurant seemed attractive enough, but the back area, where we were seated, was very unimpressive. It felt like we were sharing a table with a family of four. The service was incredibly slow and our server forgot our appetizer dish. From the conversations around us, we found we weren't the only ones with this problem. Not surprising, since our server didn't write anything down. For my table we can see clearly into the kitchen and it was obvious there was no sense of urgency among the servers or cooking staff. We were there for almost 2 hours. Everything moved incredibly slow, despite the place not being full. Our server, though very polite, had at most three tables to handle and seemed to be overwhelmed. The wait staff just didn't appear to be very well trained. We finally got our bill, and it was over $55 for: a plate of pasta, a side salad, a calzone, and two alcoholic beverages. Insanely overpriced for that sort of thing. We won't be going back.

Pretty convenient; close to gas station with car wash
