We had the Baja Shrimp Taco special last Wed and restaurant week started so we had the entire Thai tasting menu on Friday. It was fabulous - please check it out. It is Midwest hot, not Thai hot. Staff is always great. We almost always end with carrot cake - I had ZoeBakes carrot cake in the Twin Cities and it was not anywhere close to as tasty as The Cafe's version. I would agree with some other posts that the lighting in some areas makes it very hard to read the menus or see your food. Updated lighting would be helpful. We try to come early and get a spot near the windows so that we can see better.

I'm not sure what to make of the "new" Campus Town (at least on the East side of Welch Avenue)…read more I've been visiting Ames since my first campus visit in High School and I still remember that old tobacco/news shop on the corner of Welch and Lincoln way and the home town nature of this area (if you don't count the XXX Theater that once existed). I guess it's the West side's turn very soon and I hope for my Son's sake that Mayhem Comics survives. Anyway, the new Corporate Campus Town has a lot of new things including fun and friendly places to grab a relatively quick meal. Freddy's Frozen Custard and Steak is one of those establishments, and I had a really great cheeseburger and fried combination there recently. A beer would have been great with this, but this isn't that kind of place. So I settled for a soft drink and wished I would have gone all in with some frozen custard.

They were pleasant to talk to and very patient. They make it all look so fun!

Its a great treat for the season. Definitely recommend stopping in and getting this ice cream! The staff was super kind and patient with explaining what all goes into the Boo Batter. Overall great experience; try the Boo Batter while you can!

We tried cardinal tracks (chocolate ice cream with chocolate-covered raspberry cups and fudge swirls) and business brew (espresso and vanilla ice cream with espresso flakes and fudge swirls). The cardinal tracks were good but the espresso flavors from the business brew was nowhere to be found. It just tasted like another chocolate ice cream.

You may have to hike a little bit to get there, but the flavors on offer are more than ample reward. Be warned, however: in addition to being delicious, many of their flavors are riiiiich, so you may be tempted to use the little hand-wash sink in the small seating area to grab a quick swallow of water. Don't do it, you philistine! There are restrooms just down the hall with a drinking fountain you can use. Also, be sure to visit the courtyard on the ground level, and their awesome 'tribute to the Art of Dairy' cow-fountain, replete with bas-reliefs of the various stages of milk production.

Our server was attentive, and it was quiet enough to have a pleasant conversation over lunch. Three of our table had the daily special - a ribeye sandwich with caramelized onions, lettuce, tomato, their version of sweet and saucy steak sauce. Everyone enjoyed it - and I stole a few fries which were golden crisp and perfectly seasoned. I was assured their fries are consistently delicious. I had pork shoulder with two sides, i went with hallelujah potatoes (cheesy potato casserole) and cornbread pudding. The pork was melt in your mouth tender, perfect with the sweet and sassy bbq sauce. Each plate comes with some pickle slices and pickled onions, the onions were nice - i gave my pickles away as i am not a savory pickle girl. The hallelujah potatoes were cheesy, creamy and crunchy (topping) and the cornbread pudding tasty. The lemonade was recommended to me and it was well done - tart and sweet. Overall if I had more time in town I would definitely come back.

We asked to be moved inside and a they moved us to the loudest part, next to bathrooms and opening to patio, so still cool. Waitress had no time for us, maybe because we were asked to be moved. Idk. Food was good. If the name of your restaurant is "cornbred" you would think your meat dish would come with a piece of cornbread. Instead you have to order it as an appetizer which are muffins. How about one little muffin person placed on the table. I would also maybe include a side with your meal (maybe less meat) to accommodate for the side. Just suggestions. It is a cute place though.
