Absolutely loved this place!…read more The vibe is welcoming and has that hometown feel as soon as you walk in. Greeted with a smile and sat promptly! My server was Sue, and she was very good, and very attentive - always had my coffee warmed up when needed and had some good recommendations on what to eat. The food itself was really good. I had the avocado toast, which comes with a basted egg and avocado cream drizzle on top, and your choice or meat (if any) and I chose the brisket! I learned from a local sitting next to my friend and I that they get the brisket from a local bbq joint, which I thought was pretty cool. Good coffee, good vibes, good service! Would come here again if my travels blow me back into town!

As…read moreyou arrive you are welcomed by a cheerful 80s themed colorful dining room with throwback art, movie posters, and music videos. We decided to spring for the breakfast egg rolls, a vanilla iced latte, and Bloody Mary. The egg rolls were a bit bland, there was very little breakfast meat so the accompanying dipping sauces were a nice touch. For entrees we ordered the chicken fried steak, notorious biscuits and gravy, and the Basic B. The biscuits and gravy were the fan favorite, the biscuits were super fluffy and gravy was also tasty. Bonus- the bacon was perfectly cooked! In the basic B we had asked to add onions in the hashbrowns and they sautéed them and put them on top, but in the future if we asked them to cook them together I'm sure they would. Overall we enjoyed our experience and ambiance and will likely come back in the future!

Mullets in Uptown Ankeny - Brunch Review…read more Well, we finally made it here for a meal! Brunch it was, and I am glad we did! Mullets in Uptown Ankeny is a relatively new business in the uptown area. They are right off of the High Trestle Trail and provide plenty of parking for cars and bikes. They have a very nice main bar on the first floor and ample comfortable seating at the bar and at tables. But they also have a full bar and expansive rooftop dining area. And on a day like the one we had, it was picture perfect! You can get to the roof by stairs or elevator! Big bonus. The rooftop has nice views of the downtown area, and plenty of seating in or out of the sun. We were seated quickly upon arrival and greeted by our waitress within minutes with ice waters. We quickly ordered Bloody Marys, which are a house recipe ($9). They are plain but flavorful. I like mine spicy, so I asked for Tabasco - the waitress had to go on an excursion but didn't give up until she got it for me! (Thank you!) We finally found the breakfast menu (not pictured), which is a ridiculously difficult thing to navigate, because my desire and my inclination was to just order one of everything! (I guess we will have to keep coming back). We finally narrowed it down to the Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes and the Eggs Benedict Flight. We were not disappointed. The Pancakes are among the best I have ever had! While the Eggs Benedict were delicious, they are almost impossible to eat without a sharp knife and an extra plate. Pro tip - if you get the Eggs Benedict Flight, ask for an extra plate - the delivery presentation is fun to look at but horrible to eat from.

Our server, a very nice young lady, came back to tell me my debit card was declined. I said, "Run it through again." perhaps a little on the gruff side. The reason for my aggravation was the debit card chip malfunctioning. Our server was just lovely and, my brusqueness was not aimed at her. But when our server left another server, who was bussing a table nearby, turned and started to upbraid me for not saying "Please," to our server. Up to that time the only involvement with this server I had was when she delivered my breakfast. And I said "Thank you" to her. Needless to say I was flabbergasted and embarrassed. When the young lady who waited on our table returned with my receipt I thanked her and gave her a generous tip. However, I do not think I will be back.

Three restaurants share a lobby/hostess. I honestly wasn't sure I was walking into the right place, but it's a minor thing (if you know about it). Now for the bad: like I said the food is excellent, no complaints there. But I was more than a bit surprised to see on my bill that I was being charged for mixers!! A double Captain & Coke: $8 for the rum, $0.50 for the coke?!?! Really? The $8 for 2 oz of rum doesn't cover the couple of cents worth of soda? On the menu you can order a side salad as one of your sides, but if you want extra dressing? That's $0.75. This is too nice of a restaurant to be nickel and diming your customers.

My son was thrilled with his sprinkle donut, especially with the fun, non-standard colors like blue and green. My husband's apple fritter had a strong cinnamon flavor with bits of apple; it was a bit crunchier on the edges than we expected, but still delicious. We got an old fashioned for our one-year-old, and it was the perfect choice - not too sweet, nor sticky. The big surprise was the breakfast sausage sandwiches my husband and son ordered. The high-quality egg, sausage, and cheese on a fresh croissant were fantastic. I took a bite and was truly impressed, especially for the price... under $5 is very reasonable for the size. I was waffling over the Kona iced coffee, so a worker kindly gave me a sample. It was stronger, sweeter, and creamier than I expected, so I happily purchased a cup. The shop itself is small and can get a bit crowded, so it's probably not the best spot if you're planning to sit and eat inside. We will definitely be back the next time we're in Ankeny though. I can already imagine grabbing donuts and coffee to enjoy at the park with the kids once the weather warms up!
