I went to Casey's West in Grinnell, Iowa today for two pizzas and some cheesy bread. The phone…read moresystem to order was pretty efficient but, of course, automated with an option to speak to a human. Called at 4:55 and was told the pizzas would be ready at 5:18. I waited outside till 5:16 and went in. My first impression was of the dirty floor with an obvious broom by the back door and a significant amount of gathered trash behind it. The young people working didn't know about my order at first, then said it was not ready and they would make it in the next 10 minutes. Pleasant apology for being "behind". The two people working were loud and not appealing as I waited for my order. I waited inside and the food was ready in 10 to 12 minutes....not bad. The check out was very unfriendly, not pleasant and did not ask for my Casey's Reward. I asked how she was and was greeted with a sullen, "Alright". She has some trouble counting back the change but got it right. I asked about giving my Rewards # and was told it was too late because I was already checked out. This was not a good experience.

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 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.

They open at ten, but the hours weren't posted clearly and the interaction with the guy behind the counter was awful. I would never run my business in this fashion.

Super loud door chime when we came in, but literally no one was there. This place also housed a yogurt business, orange leaf. All of the yogurt fixings were clean and prepped and ready but looking at the donut fixings, it was messy and empty. We called out "hello" loudly and several times, but no answer. We could hear people talking in the back though. There was a space heater on behind the counter and someone's purse sitting on the back counter, so I know at least someone was there. We knocked on the counter and still nothing. So we left. No donuts for us!

My son was thrilled with his sprinkle donut, especially with the fun, non-standard colors like blue and green. My husband's apple fritter had a strong cinnamon flavor with bits of apple; it was a bit crunchier on the edges than we expected, but still delicious. We got an old fashioned for our one-year-old, and it was the perfect choice - not too sweet, nor sticky. The big surprise was the breakfast sausage sandwiches my husband and son ordered. The high-quality egg, sausage, and cheese on a fresh croissant were fantastic. I took a bite and was truly impressed, especially for the price... under $5 is very reasonable for the size. I was waffling over the Kona iced coffee, so a worker kindly gave me a sample. It was stronger, sweeter, and creamier than I expected, so I happily purchased a cup. The shop itself is small and can get a bit crowded, so it's probably not the best spot if you're planning to sit and eat inside. We will definitely be back the next time we're in Ankeny though. I can already imagine grabbing donuts and coffee to enjoy at the park with the kids once the weather warms up!
