I ordered the basket expecting the classic "coffee store" chips to sadly see they were just original ruffles. As for the pickle, I expected it to be a spear and I was let down to find out it was two slices. The cookie was alright as well but nothing special. I ordered the pastries and donuts and those were pretty good. I enjoyed the mocha Bismarck donut. The lemon cream cheese pinwheel was pretty good as well but on the drier side. Overall, good for a quick bite. Staff are super nice and friendly.

I usually…read moreget the club sandwich or a burger but this time I decided to try the Cuban tenderloin and let me tell you I'm glad I did. This thing was stacked with delicious ham and melted Swiss cheese on top of their already delicious breaded pork tenderloin, slather it with mustard and pickles and boy oh boy are your taste buds in for a treat. 10/10 will get again:)!!!! Got their delicious homemade onion rings on the side with some ranch I was in hog heaven (pun intended):)!!!! As always the service was top tier:)!!!! Got it for carry out and it traveled surprisingly well. Do yourself a favor when you're in there next time and order it you won't be disappointed:)!!!!

After a different caterer unexpectedly backed out, Melissa and Brett were contacted by our event coordinator and, despite already having a full schedule on one of the busiest weekends of the year, they graciously agreed to take on our smaller event.

Their warmth and care showed in every detail, and my family is still talking about the brisket! I look forward to returning to Boone soon and visiting them again for breakfast -- I can't recommend them highly enough!

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.

Sadly, we were the only ones in the restaurant -- and it felt like not much has changed since the place opened back in the 50s or 60s. Same booths (I'm pretty sure), and not sure the last time they've been deep cleaned. The bathroom in particular was... rough. There's a really cool old jukebox that adds to the nostalgia -- but unfortunately, it was out of order. Would've been nice to sip on a beer while waiting (the pizza took quite a while), but just a heads-up: they only serve canned pop and bottled water. Now, the good news -- once the pizza finally arrived, it was **fantastic**. Classic brick-oven flavor, perfectly crisp, and loaded with flavor. We ate the whole thing even though we'd planned to save leftovers for my daughter and her roommate! If I lived in Boone, I'd absolutely order from here again -- but next time, it would definitely be takeout.

Delicious pizza! Crust was thin and crispy. We took it over to the little wine bar and enjoyed it.read more

I live in Ames but occasionally drive over to Boone just for the Sauced & Tossed basket lol. It's my favorite, and the two locations here in Ames don't offer it. My husband tried the new Backyard Bacon Ranch Signature Stackburger and really liked it. It's a great combination of flavors. Their ice cream is great (as usual!) and barely started to melt by the time we got home. Service: Absolutely great! The girl (I forgot her name) that took our order and brought our food to us was incredibly nice. She greeted us with a smile and was really patient with us, despite how incredibly busy the drive-thru was. They were fully staffed and doing their best to make sure all of the orders got out in a timely manner; the drive-thru was LONG and kept getting longer. There weren't too many people inside, thankfully. When she brought our food out to us (we were sitting down waiting), she told us to double-check to make sure our order was correct; it was. All of the other employees that made eye contact also smiled, which was nice :) Ambiance: The new remodeled interior is really nice! It's kept really clean as well. The menu is so much easier to read; it's big, bright LED screens. The interior is simple yet comfortable. It definitely feels more private than before because of the dividers. The noise level was pretty minimal as well, even though they were slammed.
