So delicious and such a great spot! I wish they had a Rube's where I'm from. The concept here is…read morevery unique - you grill the steak yourself on this massive grill with other restaurant patrons. I felt like I was at a campfire, really cool. You choose your steak from a case and then take it to the grill and get cooking! Salad, Texas toast, and potatoes (skillet and/or baked potatoes) are unlimited! I got the classic cut ribeye - amazing. We also ordered the jalapeño creamed corn skillet - amazing!! Would recommend this place to anyone if you ever find yourself in Iowa or are from the area! Waitress was so kind and wonderful.

We ordered off the a la carte menu and the waitress acted like this was a huge inconvenience to her. We then waited for 25 minutes for our food, which was cold when we got it. I flagged her down and informed her of this and she muttered something about telling the manager. No manager or anyone else approached us until we got up. Then she suddenly reappeared with the bill. There was no adjustment or compensation for serving us cold steaks. I went to the manager but when he saw me approach he walked away. We won't be returning.

The wait staff seemed stressed and overworked, and their service definitely was lacking. It took almost two hours to get our raw steak and a couple sides. The place itself could use an update, all the tables seemed to rock and the toilet seat in the ladies room fell off the toilet. I am all for small town places and supporting the beef industry with great cuts of steak. I just wish this place was cleaner and had better service to reflect the prices they charge for an entree.

The bread they bring you is made fresh by Hyvee everyday, and it may be the best bread ive been served at a restaurant. For sides, i had both a Greek Salad (first ever, and not the last!) and the legendary Greek Spaghetti. (Its not possible to overhype!) i ordered the Ribeye, it is the best ribeye ive eaten. The butter and steak juice are the perfect blend of flavor, and i used the leftover bread that was served to mop it up. (And any leftover spaghetti seasoning!) i also had a good size chunk of both the lamb. (Ive never had any that were flavored so well!) I also had some of the prime rib, and not only was it cooked perfect, it was even better than my steak! Top to bottom this place was even better quality than Hells Kitchen, or any other 5 star restaurant. The two and a half hour drive was worth it. This wont be the last journey we take across the state to dine there!

We were 2 couples. Early Saturday afternoon we made reservations for 6:30pm. We arrived about…read more6:20pm and we were seated right away in one of their booths. The decor is pretty low rate. The whole restaurant desperately needs an update. The restrooms are only for one person at a time. This causes some major lines. But the service and food quality makes up for all of those issues. Our server was on the ball and came around frequently. We all ordered the prime rib. This is the ONLY place I will order prime rib. Everywhere else it's been flavorless, pure fat or tough. It's been none of that here. The salad is nothing special, just iceberg lettuce, a little cheese and a few Fritos. But it was pretty good, anyway. The blue cheese dressing was excellent, with some nice chunks of cheese. The baked potato was very good, nice & fluffy. It was done all the way through. So many time they're hard in the middle, but not these! We've been here several times before and we'll be back again!

The entire staff just stood around staring and ignoring us.

The menu had a diversity of options with both bistro and full size options. We both settled on the Main St. chicken dish on recommendation from the waitress along with swapping the rice for mashed potatoes. Great suggestion. My conference mate asked to have her mushrooms removed and I asked to have the tomatoes removed. Although we both ordered the same meal, the presentation looked different for each of us and hit the spot for our tastebuds. Mine seemed more like a chicken marsala while hers was a tomato sauce. Either way we both enjoyed our meals. We both also had dessert - I had the delicious chocolate cake with raspberry sauce. Honestly there was too much sauce but the cake was still delicious! My conference mate had the peanut pie and it was divine - imagine a Reese cup with an Oreo crust. If I'm ever back in Ames this will definitely be on my return list!!
