The space is modern, bright, and very clean. It feels like a completely refreshed store. Since reopening, we have gone through the drive-thru three different times for a Blizzard treat. Each time, the line moved quickly, our order was correct, and the team was friendly and efficient. Great job to the team!

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.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. My Pre-COVID reviews were loaded with interesting restaurants and…read moreadventures with Gayle. Now it's take-out, the start of outdoor dining, and fast-food drive through for mostly the low hassle factor. But, at least with McDonald's, you know what you're getting no matter where you are. That's what A-OK is all about. My brother and I had finished up some family business in Boone and were both hungry as it was already early- to mid- afternoon. This McDonald's features the new design and with well communicated order screens at the dual drive-through lanes. I couldn't tell whether they were still offering the breakfast menu all day, but happily decided on a double cheeseburger, fries, and orange juice instead of pop. Scott ordered something more substantial, and before we could say "Bob's Your Uncle" the food was delivered and we were on our way.

I finally go inside and I'm greeted 10 minutes later and they pull my food, bag and all straight out of the warmer. The tag on my food says 7:52 p.m. Meanwhile, it is now 8:30. The food had been ready for well over 30 minutes and was just sitting there away

Dad and I recently had supper here and choice La Carreta for 2 reasons:…read more 1. It was one of the few restaurants that he hadn't been. 2. The family of the Wife of a local Subaru service tech that I know owns the restaurant. That's not really a firm connection, and I didn't mention anything until we were about the leave. La Carreta is attached to the American Inn and currently has a few extra rooms that they're not using. When Dad and I were here, it was busy enough. Service (by the Wife's Uncle I think) was pleasant, welcoming, and helpful. We also had a nice comfortable booth, with warm chips provided. Dad had some sort of super burrito, while I picked a spicey grilled chicken dish (pollo loco) with tortillas.. We both enjoyed our big portion choices and I appreciated not having refried beans, and enjoying the meat for what it was. Our spice was about right, and there was no need for hot sauce. Mexican beers rounded out our meal, with the final check being very reasonable. Here's what my local Subaru service tech emailed afterwards: OMG!!! I'm glad you went Eric, what did you think of the food?

No greeting, very little eye to eye contact, no smile, lack of personality. Not everyone, but enough of them from my experience and observation to post this. If you've read any of my posts you know I have a very low tolerance for this sort of behavior. If Kevin & Amy are so proud of their restaurant, maybe they could tighten the reins a bit and train these young folk up with some BASIC customer service skills. Ok, I do believe in giving credit where credit is due. Tonight, Paige redeemed Culver's in Carroll. Greeted cheerfully and with a smile, eye contact, repeated my order back to me, thanked me and was pleasant the whole way through. I watched he with the next customers and it was the same.
