“This was a very happy surprise. We picked Ames as an overnight stop on a road trip because we were interested in a few of the sights on the Iowa State campus. This hotel is very conveniently located to the campus, but if you want to walk downtown it would be a bit of a hike. The place was spotlessly clean, the rooms were spacious, quiet, and comfortable, and there are a bar and restaurant on site. Often when I travel I pick a "name brand" hotel because even if they are not great, at least you know what to expect. In this case I'm glad I chose something different. This was much nicer than the usual chain places. A special shout out to the staff: All were very friendly and helpful, and when we found we had left an item behind, they found it and offered to mail it back to us free of charge. The customer service is greatly appreciated.”

“Food is great. Place is spotlessly clean. Prices are reasonable. Staff is good. A bit shy on atmosphere. They have odd hours so call ahead to be sure they're open. Location is unusual. Parking is adequate.”

“High end lunch was ok but pretty pricy. Service was friendly but my fried chicken seemed like it must have been sitting for a while under a heat lamp. The pork tenderloin sandwich that most other people ordered looked awesome, might have to come back and try that. Also, the craft root beer was excellent.”

“I went to the Filling Station for the first time a week ago, & wow can we talk about LIFE CHANGING! When you walk inside it is a breath of fresh air. Not only is the food and coffee really good, the atmosphere is wonderful! I have a new favorite place to go for coffee and homework! Would highly recommend to anyone!”

“This place has a great atmosphere! More on the fancier side, with FANTASTIC more upscale food. Not too pricey, but definitely a "treat yourself" place or somewhere nice to take your parents out for food. Great food for all meal times, and their desserts are wonderful. Great service as well!”

“The Open Flame is a great place for dinner. Service is better than good and everyone is really happy to see you. I always have a steak sandwich and baked potato. Tasty and the best restaurant baked potato around.”

“The girlfriend and I really enjoyed our breakfast here. The food was outstanding. We also really enjoyed the design and decor of the building. The old school diner vibe was relaxing. There is quite a large dining area, but it was packed to the point of a 20min wait to be seated. A testament to the quality of food. Our waitress was a little passive aggressive and didnt seem to know how to multitask. She seemed annoyed when we would ask for anything like drink refills, butter for our toast, syrup for our pancakes and especially when we wanted to order dessert pie. She was never rude but took her time fulfilling our requests. It was very busy that day so hopefully that was only reason she seemed agitated. I will definitely eat here again. Just hope for a different waitress.”

“Have always had good tasting and hit food there. The amount of salt on the fries and onion rings can vary quite a bit at times. I have had times where there has been very little salt and other times where there has been almost too much salt. The majority of the time they do good just an occasional problem. I also love the ice cream there.”

“Smoothies are very tasty and fresh. I am a big fan of the Tropical Island Detox smoothie. Greens and ginger? Yes, please! The sandwiches are also quite good. It's one of those rare places you can actually feel about yourself after eating there.”

“So many good things to say I don’t know where to begin. The look of the resultant is rather unique but clean and nice. The food was delicious and I tried some of everyone that I went with and every one was better than the last. All the meats were perfectly cooked and delicious and I can’t wait to go back and try every menu item they have. Customer service was above and beyond as well which is why this might be my new favorite restaurant in the area. Everyone was very nice and helpful throughout our visit and went above and beyond expectations. An employee came and asked us how everything was halfway through our meal and my father, who had already finished his meal, joked that he wished it was bigger because it was so good. Very soon after he brought out another of the same order for my father with no extra charge. I didn’t catch his name but it put our experience over the top and resulted in a big tip. I honestly can’t say enough good things and can’t wait to go back.”

“I have been a regular in the Ames area since my college days in the late 90’s but somehow I had never been to Aunt Maudes until very recently. It’s a shame I had never come before because this place is great. I had a wonderful steak, the service was excellent and the setting was elegant without being stuffy. I would recommend visiting to anyone.”

“I wanted to be impressed but the food and presentation were lacking, however if I were just rating the wait staff I'd be giving ten stars. My date ordered a spicy chicken dish with a side of spaghetti, his chicken dish was brimming with grease and slopped in the dish. The spaghetti noodles were a congealed mess and the sauce had no flavor. I order the mushroom risotto and the dish presentation was horrible. It looked like someone took a big spoon and just chucked it in to the dish. The flavor was also very off putting for my taste, perhaps it would appeal to others. Our daughter got the Alfredo and said our homemade sauce from home had more flavor. That being said, if they have the tomato bisque on menu, get it, you will not be disappointed. Atmosphere is great here which made up for the food just a bit, we had a cozy table by the fire which was nice on a cold night. And out waitresses was AMAZING! She had to have been at our table at least 6 times during our meal and she has several large tables she was tending. She remembered every drink, gave my daughter special attention, joked, made recommendations, and was overall an absolute delight. I will definitely go back and try the pizza as I hear it's truly the best thing to order off the menu.”

“The black bean and sweet corn burger is the absolute best and my favorite. It has the perfect bit of spice and seasoning comes with a large helping of waffle fries (or other sides of your choice) and is reasonably priced. My date got the club which was brimming with different meat choices, juicy and flavorful. His steak fries were a great cut and cooked to perfection. Our server was a bit off her game during our visit hence the four stars, normally she is on point so must have been an off night. She was sweet just took a bit longer than usual with the ticket and filling drinks, she wasn't her usual smiling self either. Again, guessing just an off night because the staff is always friendly and attentive. Now that I've found my burger, I'll be going back.”
