    Starbucks
    Jaclyn P.

    This place is AWESOME!!! We would go here in elementary, Junior High and High School. After our track meets at Nevada we would go over to Starbucks to get a Cyclone (Blizzard). They have the best pork tenderloins and great maid rites. If I remember correctly they have great pizza burgers too. If you're in central Iowa and looking for some good food at a hole-in-the-wall place Starbucks is your place. Four of us got two pork tenderloin's (they're huge so my mom and I shared), one maid rite, one order of cheese balls and one order of chicken gizzards for $21. After we ate we went back for some dessert and I think my small Cyclone was like $2. Great food!!

    No coffee served here. This is your grandfather's Starbuck's! This fast food diner was founded by the Starbuck family some six decades ago, although the "new" owner has only owned it the past three decades. Locals come here for the jumbo beefburger, a massive maid-rite style ground beef sandwich normally served with ketchup, mustard, onion and pickle. Starbuck's is also known for their ice cream. Craving a butterscotch shake? This is the spot. Good food all around. The tenderloin. The onion rings... You order and pay at the window. You'll be given a number and they'll deliver the food to your table. Likely in a brown paper bag. The decor is spartan, a bit of a dive, a comment made with the most complimentary of intentions. Just a 10-15 minute drive from Ames on Lincoln Way.

    Really good ice cream, I definitely feel that it's the best part. The rest of the food is decent, tasty but greasy. The service is good.

    Best ice cream place in central Iowa. I know people from 2 hours away who drive here just to eat ice cream here. Service is okay too.

    Okay if u like pre-made greasy food. Nothing special. It would be great if they would branch out of the "normal " fast food.

    For starters, the food is phenomenal! When we got our sandwiches, we were definitely not…read moreunderwhelmed. They were huge! We did get the large version, but we weren't expecting them to be so big lol. All of the ingredients were really fresh and full of flavor. The bread was perfect, too! Even the sandwich we got for our daughter was delicious; it was simple, but sue "inhaled" it lol. We also got the BbQ chicken chili which had great flavor, but it was more like a chili flavored soup. I dipped my leftover bread in it, so it worked out lol. When we ordered, we tried to do so online, but that was a pain. So, we called in and the customer service was excellent! The guy that took our order was very nice, patient, and informative, which was very appreciated since we had just had issues with the website lol. We ordered for pickup and our food was placed nicely in the bags and nothing was spilling or overflowing onto anything else. Overall, the inside of the restaurant was great, even though we didn't dine in. It looked quite clean and was pretty relaxing. Staff were really nice in person as well. 3*17*25

    It was a dark and stormy afternoon…read more... I was wandering around Ames mid-day last week with a lot of time on my hands. At Lunch time, I didn't feel like a sit down waiter restaurant, nor did I want to go into HyVee and choose a pre-wrapped Sammy. So after a little Yelp searching, the West Street Deli came up. West Street Deli is just down the street from my Ames Barber (Troy) and just as close to Mother's Pub. The street is its own little business District, and feels far away from Lincoln Way. I ordered a Cajun Tuna Melt which was unlike any sandwich of this type that I had experienced. It was well prepared and was flavorful in many ways, including a little kick at the end. A beer would have gone well with this, but I stayed with water, while comfortably seated by a window within their dining room. A very pleasant experience and a for sure future visit.
