    Patty melt with fries
    Mary P.

    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?

    Pop tart heaven.

    Once again I need a pop tart fix. If you like feeling like a kid again but your taste buds expect a more that a bixed experience than this is where you come. Today we have the traditional brown sugar cinnamon and a season cherry tart. What fabulous way to start a snowy day.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    **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!

    South of the boarder Eggs Benedict

    *** 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!

    Worth the Wait at Jersey Mike's…read more Stopped by the Jersey Mike's on SW Vintage Parkway in Ankeny today for a quick dinner pickup. We placed our order through the app (super convenient) for a #6 Roast Beef and Provolone and a #55 Big Kahuna Chicken Cheese Steak. ## The Experience The place was hopping during the dinner rush when we arrived, which explained why our wait was a bit longer than expected. That said, I was impressed watching the staff hustle behind the counter - everyone was working efficiently and still managing to be friendly to each customer. No small feat during a lunch rush! ## The Food Our sandwiches were absolutely worth the short wait. The #6 Roast Beef and Provolone ($10.95) was made perfectly - tender roast beef with that delicious combo of provolone, red wine vinegar, and fresh veggies on their rosemary parmesan bread. The #55 Big Kahuna Chicken Cheese Steak ($10.25) was equally impressive - juicy philly chicken with white American cheese, just the right amount of jalapeño heat, and those perfectly grilled onions. I appreciated that they followed our "extra love" special instruction too! ## The Value At just over $21 before tax for two substantial sandwiches, the value is solid. These aren't your average thin cold cuts - Jersey Mike's doesn't skimp on quality or quantity. ## Overall While it wasn't the fastest pickup experience, the staff's positive attitude and the excellent sandwich quality more than made up for the slight wait. The Ankeny location seems well-managed even during the dinner rush, and I'll definitely be back (though maybe avoiding peak dinner hours if I'm in a hurry). Next time I'll remember to take pictures before devouring everything!

    Not worth 45 minutes to wait for a sandwich ordered online!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!read more

The decor has a darling, vintage 90s aesthetic that feels so genuine and unpretentious. The owner is remarkably humble and clearly takes immense pride in their work it's the kind of personal touch that you just don't find everywhere. The hospitality was truly the highlight of my visit. The staff explained the menu with such genuine warmth; they really make you feel like a guest rather than just a customer. It is officially my favorite part of the experience! I decided on the BBQ Brisket Sandwich, and the efficiency was simply remarkable it arrived in a mere few minutes. The brisket was prepared to perfection incredibly soft, flavorful, and served on beautifully toasted bread. It was a total triumph and honestly quite addictive! I am officially charmed by this local gem and will most certainly be a regular here

They have a board of items listing what they're out of. I had the brisket sandwich with fries and mac and cheese. The sandwich was everything you want brisket to be. Tender, succulent, perfect crust and loaded on a grilled bun. The fries were great and had some delicious rub/seasoning on them. The mac and cheese was different than expected, but in a good way. Rotini noodles, cheesey, perfectly seasoned. You need to go. They're not open all days of the week so check yourself so you don't end up brokenhearted. Go. Eat. Indulge. Tip well. Thank me later.
