First time in a maid rite in Iowa Good food and service!! Love maid rites!! Great food!!

The counter guy (manager?) was EXTREMELY helpful. I'd highly recommend this place for his hospitality alone!

Hospitality from the counter guy (manager?) was amazing. He's a gem! Thanks for a great experience!

PORK TENDERLOIN

We recently were in town and decided to stop by and try this Maid-Rite. We grabbed a little bit of everything: Maid-rite, tenderloin, cheese-rite and a ice cream malt, all to-go. What made our visit was the service. The gentleman working the front counter was so kind, friendly. Definitely, notable about this location! Our food was fast. The tenderloin was quite good. The only thing to note was my cheese seemed a little dry around the edges on my maid-rite and didn't really melt. Also, the meat tastes a little different depending on which location you go to. Would try this place again

Original burger with cheese and Cheese curds

I have always wanted to try a loose meat sandwich if I made it to the state of Iowa. I found out that Maid-Rite is a popular restaurant for the loose meat sandwich. They have restaurants in Illinois and Iowa. The sandwich and the deep fried cheese curds were delicious. I will definitely make another trip when I am back in Illinois or Iowa.

Mega Rite with Cheese and Fries! The only way to go!

This is the best kept secret in Ankeny Iowa. I highly suggest that you look past the location and visit this place. It's right next to Walmart and the food is amazing. The customer service it's just as excellent. I suggest the mega cheese rite and fries! Both of them are cooked perfectly and it's an excellent place to take your family. Very family oriented not to mention a great ambience!

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.
