Waterfront Seafood Market Restaurant

Waterfront Seafood Market Restaurant

2414 SE Tones Dr, Ankeny, Iowa, 50021, United States
I travel along I-35 several times a year and waterfront has become a regular dinner stop on that drive. If this place was in Chicago or Dallas it would be a one star spot, but this is Iowa a state where I have had some of the worst dining experiences in the country. The staff here is consistent, I see the same employees year after year and they have always been great. The food is a real step up for this area, it's always good. The chain restaurants in this area are so bad that just being "good" is all it takes to be the 5 star spot in the area. Between Kansas City and Minneapolis the waterfront is as good as it gets.

Unlike DSM Wendy's locations, these guys were quick to get our food. It was hot and good. Great Berry Root beer. This location has one of those mix your own drink fountains. Peach Ginger Ale. Yumm.

The most professional fast food atmosphere is found at Chik-fil-A. The restaurant is kept clean and tidy. The staff is friendly and attentive, quick to remedy a mistaken order or clean up a spill. The food always tastes great. The half & half iced tea lemonade is better than an Arnold Palmer.

My husband went to the drive thru and ordered 5 tacos late tonight and I know that it was right before closing time but when we opened up the tacos they had very little meat in them. If they didn't have enough meat for them all they had to do was say so. The customer respects honesty over being cheated on what they are paying for. We had 98 % lettuce and 2 % meat.

Service has been a bit inconsistent. Food is same and convenience is the key. Coke still generally the best from McDonald's. And prices remain very reasonable. Was able to feed myself and son for $8.00. Not common, in my opinion, even in the fast food industry.

Food is worth the wait. 1 maybe 2 wait staff.. 1 is the manager. But Mediterranean food you'll find in this god forsaken state.

The slowest subway employees I've ever encountered. They must be high to be this slow. Two subs took 10 mins to make, not toasted.

Holy Cow! I've been ordering from Made Garden in Ankeny for months. Spent upwards about $250 or $300 since October. Today I spent $34+ a $6. tip. The containers were low & beef satay was cold. I really wish TASTE OF CHINA would come to Ankeny & take us out of this misery! I just asked the owner to give me 1/2 off my $34+ bill he sent his delivery driver with laryngitis to pick up my food, and she was going to give me back my 20% tip! It wasn't her fault! It was the lazy cook!.. I SOOO wish TASTE IF CHINA would come to Ankeny! I think Jade Garden (who's been around since my wedding in 1990) has been here Wayyy Too Long! I have a picture of the small amounts of my 2 $10 delivery dinners. Let me know if you want me to send them or I've posted them on Facebook!!

Leaning Tower of Pizza in Ankeny, Iowa was recommended to me and I will now recommend it to others. Fabulous experience!! When I placed my order via phone, the staff person taking my order could not have been more friendly. The pizza was just coming out of the oven upon my arrival for pickup. The staff was very friendly, fun and professional. Now for the pizza...OUTSTANDING!!! One of the best pizzas I have ever had!! Just right on the amount of toppings...crust baked just right...sauce has a very unique spice to it (very good). I will be coming back to this restaurant and recommend you give it a try as well. We need a LTP in Sioux Falls, SD!

Tried this location recently. We have been die hard Pjs fans for a long time and wanted to mix it up. Very disappointed. Pizza was late and cold. Breadsticks were cold. Called to get a manager and was hung up on. No thank you. Papa John's will definatly be keeping our business.

Everything was really good. A little pricey, but I only ate half of my entree and I was full. Don’t forget to take home leftovers- it’s still really good heated up!

Went here for the first time yesterday and was very pleased. It was fairly busy for a late Sunday afternoon, but we were quickly seated and the service was good. We started with the fresh guacamole, which was extremely flavorful and a good size. We tried the chicken chimichange and veggie chimichanga and both were delicious. They were large chimis so one is more than enough for an adult. There was a slightly unique flavor to everything that was simply amazing. The rice and beans were even delectable and that is something that is frequently blah at similar restaurants. My hubby commented the soda mix was even perfect. I had my leftovers for breakfast and am already craving more :)
