Absolutely loved this place! The vibe is welcoming and has that hometown feel as soon as you walk in. Greeted with a smile and sat promptly! My server was Sue, and she was very good, and very attentive - always had my coffee warmed up when needed and had some good recommendations on what to eat. The food itself was really good. I had the avocado toast, which comes with a basted egg and avocado cream drizzle on top, and your choice or meat (if any) and I chose the brisket! I learned from a local sitting next to my friend and I that they get the brisket from a local bbq joint, which I thought was pretty cool. Good coffee, good vibes, good service! Would come here again if my travels blow me back into town! read more

First off let me say service was friendly and amazing. Felt very much at home from the moment you walk in the door. Second, the food was incredible. Can't recommend the chicken fried steak enough it's made in house, delicious cream, gravy, and the hashbrowns perfection. My partner loved his The hangover, which was potatoes, sausage ham country, gravy, egg coffee's delicious give it a try read more

Small intimate location located at the corner of Northeast 14th and NE 70th, in Carney, Iowa. The same owners of Smoky D's restaurant owns this location, however, this has the feel of a small town diner. I had the Denver omelette with the mini biscuits and gravy, extremely delicious. The pepper was a bit heavy on the gravy, but I can over look that. My partner had the whole meat omelette with the hashbrowns, again she said it was delicious. The hashbrowns needed a little more seasoning, we are able to take care of that at the table. The pastry (Jam'in Tart), was a homemade version of a pop tart. We had the strawberry filled one. Came out hot and extremely delicious. We will try another flavor next trip. Overall, it's good enough for me to come back and try another time. Great good, prices were very reasonable!! read more

We stopped for lunch. It was very busy. Hubby had the special - - which was chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn and a bun. (The daily specials are all comfort food! ) It was delicious and filling. I had a patty melt and fries. They were good too. I only complaint was I asked for extra onion on my sandwich. I was charged $.75 for it. Really? read more

It’s My Jam - Pop tart heaven. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ankeny, Iowa

A recent addition to the North Metro breakfast and lunch scene, It's My Jam is immediately considered one of the best breakfast spots I've enjoyed around Ankeny. Open 6 AM-2 PM every day, we visited as they started business on a Sunday morning. Literally. Plentiful parking, a roomy seating arrangement, and clean and well-lit. They serve lunch as of 1030 AM. Michelle was our server; she was outstanding, fun to chat with, kind, and truly knew the menu and its contents. She helped me select the Breakfast Burrito ($10.99), smothered with country gravy, and a great tip on including sausage (hint: get the hot salsa!)! My Way Better Half enjoyed the Build Your Own Hashbrown, which included Italian sausage, onions, bacon, hashbrowns, red bell peppers, over-easy eggs, and Swiss cheese. My only suggestion to the staff: I wish their delicious sourdough bread had butter as an option. They also have daily specials and offer them the next day as ToGo pre-packaged, refrigerated meals at the counter that looked delicious (note to self: hamballs on Fridays). I appreciate that they have Toast (fitting) technology for easy checkout and payment. read more

This is a new restaurant in a beloved space. The owners of Smokey Ds are doing breakfast the way of the former Sorriso Grille. The remodel looks great. My only caveat is the floors and chair combination may be a little tricky for our less than sure footed folks. The chairs slide very easily. The food was very good. Not a huge menu, but good selection of tried and true favorites. Our party of 5 had a BYO omelet, avocado toast, BYO hashbrowns and the chicken fried steak. The portions are plentiful and prices reflect what you get. Everyone enjoyed the food. The service was quick and friendly. Being able to pay at your table is also a great perk! read more

Fun place to visit. Staff was friendly coffee was great. Lots of great menu options and I'm a corned beef hash fan so that's where I went as soon as I seen it as an option. I sen the table next to us order the famous French toast and it looked amazing also. That's on my list for my next visit. read more

It’s My Jam - Corned beef hash and eggs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ankeny, Iowa

We weren't feeling too terribly hungry, so we wanted to try something light. We had driven past this place before, but it was always too busy to even enter. Luckily this time since it was during the week, it wasn't busy. We were seated right away and our order was taken. Everything was very fast. Believe it or not my pancake was all I needed. It had such great vanilla flavor and fresh. My husband loved his breakfast as well with the eggs and toast, etc. By the time we finished eating, the place started to pack up with definite regulars. My favorite part about this place, it's the cheapest breakfast we've ever found. I don't mind paying the big bucks for great food, but it's even better when it's great food for a very affordable price. They also serve lunch. It's definitely a place. We will go back and try. The ambience is just like any breakfast/diner vibe: Fun, friendly, and delicious! read more

**A Classic Favorite, Revamped** That's My Jam has taken over the old Sorriso Grill and given it a fresh, new look. While the ambiance is updated, many familiar dishes remain, bringing back nostalgic flavors. We were disappointed to miss out on the cinnamon rolls, which are legendary and apparently just as delicious under new management. The weekday lunch menu offers a variety of options, though the early 2 PM closing time is a bit limiting. The service is still top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff. The prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality of food and service. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu and, of course, those famous cinnamon rolls! read more

Great vibe. Super busy. The parking lot was full. Lots of guests on Sunday morning. We recommend a breakfast appetizer of the homemade pop tarts. "Jammin' Tarts - Strawberry" read more

Yum! Great food and many different menu options. Service was also good. Very busy on weekends, though.

I had great hopes for this place, and they were not misplaced. I had breakfast, Lizzie had lunch. Both were exceptional. Let's start with the Cinnamon Pop Tart. OH MY! Rich and tasty and flaky and amazing. Get one, you will not be disappointed. Lizzie had a tenderloin. It's different from the typical tenderloin in the area. Thicker, juicier, the batter is marvelous. Definitely in my top 5 in the city. Decent fries, although I will go on my usual rant. Hand cut potatoes and deep fry them. It ends up being much less expensive and much tastier. Understand that this in no way says that neither of us liked their fries, but I am on a mission here! I had the wonderfully named Redneck Eggs Benedict. I'm going to start with the gravy, since I am a bit of a fanatic about gravy. My first question is does it need pepper? Most do for me. This most certainly did not. It has a tiny bit of heat to it, and really the best compliment I can give is that it tasted like it came from the south. Us southern folk understand. The hash browns were perfect, great combination of crispy and fluffy. The eggs were done wonderfully. There was bacon in there. The biscuit was quite good (not as good as southern biscuits, but that whole mission thing again). All in all, one of the best breakfasts in the area. Go give them a try! read more

This was a very nice establishment. It offers both breakfast and lunch. I had lunch the French dip sandwich. This was our recommendation from the waitress and she was absolutely right! The fries were great and were seasoned nicely. I did splurge to have myself a piece of coconut cream pie. I was still there and it was excellent. Very nice establishment for a reasonable price very good service and very clean. Kudos all around! read more

*** UP and RUNNING*** Very exciting that this great place is back up and running, revamped with the new face, new name. Updated interior and still the Sorisso Grill vibe. I went within the first week of the reopening and they are packed. They are busy, and the staff are working hard. They now have pagers if there is a wait. The parking lot is a little bigger and if there is a wait you can take the pager to the car and wait. There is a little waiting area where a table used to be. The waitress was right there to get our drinks and then got pulled 6 other directions Our wait for 2 wasn't bad. The menu has been simplified and looks really good. It got right over to one of my favorite meals and ordered the eggs Benedict. South of the Border Eggs Benedict with the breakfast potatoes. I really appreciate that you can order a single or a double on this breakfast meal. My girlfriend ordered a omelette and the homemade pop tart that was suggested by the waitress. We got excited about the poptart. There was a little delay in the food but not going to be upset since this is the first week. They are still getting their barrings and the food was fantastic once it hit the table. There was so much flavor in my Eggs Benedict and the potatoes were not different from before the remodel, they were perfect. I cant wait to go back and try another meal. Great job! read more

My Bisquits & Gravy were great! It made my breakfast very satisfying! My friend had 2 eggs and hash browns with bacon! Excellent! Service was outstanding, also! We will be returning to this breakfast location again and again! Great little place to stop for breakfast! They have upgraded the interior and everything was bright and cheery inside! Very pleasant decore in the restaurant. 10 stars read more

Fun atmosphere; super friendly service. Coffee- delish. Food- great variety and so good.

We tried It's My Jam for brunch on a Sunday. It was fairly busy but they seated us right away. We both appreciated the great, quick service and the awesome prices. The poptart was awesome, more like a toaster pastry and my husband liked his omelette. My French toast, sausage and hashbrowns were underwhelming but fine enough to return and try something else in the future. read more

Everything was good - your average breakfast place. The service was SUPER friendly and fast even though it was Friday during lunch so it was insanely busy. PLEASE get one of the homemade pop tarts (bonus points if you get the cinnamon one!!) read more

Excellently prepared fresh local food served promptly and with friendliness! I appreciate the variety of flavors and preparations available on the breakfast menu. I will have to be back another time to try their lunch menu. The restaurant is new and kept well clean. I do wonder if they will outgrow their space though because this place should become very popular! Get in early! read more

Been there three times in the last month. Food is good and service attentive. Only thing it the best were the sliders which were overcooked and dry read more

Second to none. We've been here for breakfast several times and always been very happy with the food and service. This time we went for lunch and sat outdoors on the patio. Not only was the lunch menu much more extensive than expected, but the food superb. The patio was surprisingly comfortable. They did an amazing job finishing the patio with exquisite outdoor furniture. The patio is completely covered with a permanent roof and about a six foot wall on all sides. Perfect for all weather conditions except for the coldest days, or days with wind driven (sideways) rain. Bravo, job well done. read more

Very busy on a Sunday morning but our server was very attentive, our food came out in good time and was delicious. The seating on the patio was comfortable, shaded and had privacy from the parking area. read more

Service excellent, food , atmosphere all wonderful. Job well done . It's My Jam ! And the Jam is excellent. Will be back soon.

Great food, friendly and efficient service, and good prices. We go often, take grandkids, and several order On the Lighter Side, which is perfect!!!! They just completed a new patio for outdoor dining as well!!!! read more

Great food and service. Liked the cozy setting and hometown diner feel! Wait staff were friendly and attentive.

I would wait awhile to go. Need more cooks in the kitchen. Waited on a Saturday morning 30 min for a table (got rid of the one in the corner for wait seating) and then another 45 min for our food. The waitress wouldn't bring out my one year child's grits first either as she grew inpatient (obviously). .. said we can't do that? When they are just sitting a pot back there. We also got take out too another time and my husband had to go in and order. No phone number to call ahead and order take out and one of the ladies working told him they won't be getting one either . Weird IMO. Food is average. I do like the old sorriso Italian sub and the sides offered better. Breakfast food was good. read more

I've a pretty picky sandwich eater. But this is hands down best sandwich I've ever had! Highly recommend the monte cristo. read more

It’s My Jam - Monte Cristo - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ankeny, Iowa

The old Sorriso Grill reopened with a much needed makeover and new owners. Big positive for the food which are nicely priced. The servings aren't overly huge but I really don't think anyone would complain and the prices still stomp their competition in comparison. The food was delicious as I had hoped. Our server seemed rushed and I want to deduct two stars just for that. Still I think it was a bad draw. The staff does seem nice and helpful. I feel like I can confidently give this a four out of five. If our server wasn't so interested in turning our table, it's probably close to a five. Still I have to call it as I see it and if I came back and had a similar transactional experience I would be much less in love. So we will see read more

Awesome breakfast joint. Fast and gracious service. OUTSTANDING omelet and biscuits and gravy.

Food is great! Ordering to go/website is extremely inconvenient. There isn't a phone number and the website will not allow removals; for example, trying to remove cheese from an item. My husband had to go in person to request no cheese and then go back to pick it up. Again, food was great. We would order there more if the process was a bit easier. read more

Love the food, food options, service and whole experience was great. Loved the pastry!

Love the food and love the servers. Their homemade tarts are sooooo good, I always get one to go!

they are charging an extra 50 cent per egg. That's $6 a dozen I can buy 18 at Costco for $6.99. So the menu price doesnt already have the cost of the egg included? ( before the cost increase?). I can see 20-25 cents but 50 is just padding their bottom line. I had the pancakes (3) for $7.99 which is reasonable. They were fine nothing great. Reasonable cost and decent quality . Service was fine. read more
