    Surprisingly good! I'm not from Ames, but travel for work and received mixed reviews about this…read morelocation from a coworker. So maybe my low expectations helped to elevate the experience! Great fried chicken; excellent mashed potatoes and a warm inviting atmosphere. Great after a long day!

    Positives first: Dip trio and chips were good, drinks were…read morecold, ambiance was good as well. The real scoop: My sister and her girlfriends booked a large reservation for our group and they were not prepared at all when we showed up. Not enough tables, not enough seats, it was messy. We ordered drinks, they staggered out. Mine was wrong, came out as a mule instead of a martini, the girl corrected it. My husband and I split the dip trio and the hot chicken sandwich for dinner with tots. (The photo of the onion rings is what my dad ordered as an app) The sandwich was unbearingly messy with sauce all over the place. We ended up picking it apart and eating it with a fork. Service was all over the place and I felt bad for the main girl serving us because the girl helping her could not be more unfriendly/helpful to her. I'm about 99% I wouldn't return here because I have no reason to go back to Ames. This place has potential but my sister and her friends said service and consistency here is an issue and that's obvious big time.

    Good vibes. Burger was good, a little charred on outside which made me frown. Food came fast…read more Cheese curds were elite

She gave us menus n sent us upstairs as we wanted to sit outside. The waitress upstairs was chatting with a co worker sitting at the bar, told us to sit anywhere but a dirty table she hadn't cleared yet. She came over took our drink order then cleared a table before bringing our drink. Then after awhile took our food order ( steak quesadilla n artichoke dip off the happy hour). She didn't ask if we wanted it off HAppy hour or main...... hostess from downstairs. Rough foid up. Our server upstairs is still chatting with coworker at bar. We are almost done eating n server from upstairs ask if we need anything. We said napkins.. she brought them over n left. After finishing our food 15 minutes go by she finally asks if we need a drink . We said no just the bill. Our bill is not happy hour prices on food just drink. She comes over to collect $, we asked about why we are charged so much for our food as we ordered off the happy hour. She said "oh I didn't know. " not - oh I forgot to ask or anything.... No I'm sorry or dang- I'll take it off. Wtf is wrong with her? Terrible n I will post this everywhere .

    We stopped here on a whim making our way through Iowa on a road trip. I was looking for a good…read moreplace that could fill my family and keep them full for a while so we could keep driving. From other Yelp reviews, this place looked like a good place to try. Walking in, it first reminds you of a dive bar and staff were a little slow to seat us on a Thursday lunch but once we got our seats, service was speedier and we were eating soon enough. Service was attentive and our waitress made sure we had things taken care of. The best bang for your buck (or at least for my family of five) was ordering the family sampler platter. We got an assortment of meats including pulled pork, brisket, sausage, and chicken. We also tried the baked beans, mac and cheese, and waffle fries. Portions for the sampler are huge and filled us all up with a little extra left over. The BBQ was really good, just what we were wanting. You can't have good BBQ without good sauce (my opinion) and Jethro's had an assortment to find just the right one for the meat/entrée you were eating. Definitely a great stop, I'm glad we took a small detour to find this location.

    Tried the challenge sandwich (not trying the challenge). Delicious and more than any 4 people…read morereally should eat. Every part was amazing! I ate the pork and my Mac and cheese there, and that was enough to make me full. The leftovers that I took home after this, filled a catering pan! I ate three more days on that one sandwich.
