    During my visit to Ft Dodge I made my way to my favorite coney spot. Still very good.

    We had to be in Fort Dodge twice in one week. After finding this diner on Monday we had return on…read moreWednesday! The fried chicken is fantastic! 12 piece dark meat special for $9.99, made 3 meals. It was so good we ordered it to go again on Wednesday. The baked beans were also very good. The breaded pork tenderloin was good but beware getting it with everything. Everything included Thousand Island dressing, which for me just didn't work. The fried fish meal was very good. It came with a very large piece of fish, two sides and a roll. The tartar sauce was very unusual, more like the dressing for potato salad than any tartar sauce I'd ever had. Their coleslaw was good. The service was friendly. The diner was clean. There is a surcharge for using a debit/credit card. If we're ever back in Fort Dodge, we will stop again!

I don't know what he intends to do about this, but I would sue! JaMar is the most expensive fast food "restaurant "in FD and they also add a card fee to the bill. This is vastly unacceptable and I'll never eat their food again! The quality has been in decline for several years- the chicken pieces look more like pidgeon pieces! I think the taste is "off" (from what tastes to me like old frying oil) and it's overly-battered. People in FD, beware!

Gayle and I stopped in today after reading about it within some "48 hours in Ames" article. I ordered a brisket grilled cheese sandwich, while Gayle chose a similar one with blackberry flavoring. We split a can of Guinness off the convenience store fridge, and then sat outside for our street and car wash view. We had nice shade on a not too hot day and took the opportunity to hang out bit after we finished our meal. This was a tasty and pleasant experience of good value overall.

Wow, it is a lot more than a quick breakfast at a gas station! The kitchen was complete and had a full menu offered up. It was also a commercial bakery... multiple bakers working on cinnamon rolls that looked divine! I had a breakfast quesadilla. It had real flavor in it with candied jalapeños. It was a lot but judging from all the plates I saw come out of the kitchen everything there was solid in serving size. The chai latte was good too. And the folks were nice. They definitely have loyal fans locally, folks were ordering for tailgates!

Disappointed to say the least, I came in the back door not realized there was a correct door and was rudely cut off by other patrons at the front desk. I had to wait several minutes to be waited on and the place had plenty of spots. Maybe because I was a party of 1... they didn't seem to care. After I shared what drink I wanted, I learned they were out... fine no problem. I asked about the Thai specials, the waitress was clueless. I had to ask for the restaurant week menu and ask about the specials. She said they looked good but couldn't describe them and hasn't tasted them. I got the salad on special, but get this... they were out of the main restaurant week special... such a let down. The ambiance was mixed, one corner was a cute date night the other corner was crying children. All dimly lit and outdated decor. The whole experience was off, I ended up leaving after my one drink and salad. I hope to give this place a second chance sometime but hope they aren't out of dishes and I can get a trained server. Maybe another night for sure!
