I Get into town about once every two or three years and I happen to stay at the Hilton Garden Inn close by. The southwest chicken salad is all I ever need for a good dinner, along with one or two drinks. Trivia night was fun and the one time I happen to be there.

West Towne Pub is a great place for families or for even a relaxed date night. The Caribbean burger is my favorite item on the menu and has a great salsa on it. They always have been quick with service and the staff is always greeting you with a smile.

Just had the House Special Traditional wings - really good. Would get them again without a doubt. We also had several burgers and the French dip. Everyone was very happy with their food. We would come back again to eat here!

WTP I love this bar, it's my kind of place... It is an extremely versatile business that fulfils many needs. During the day its a great place to go with friends or family for lunch; especially if the patio is full. When you're in one of those moods on a day off its awesome for a liquid lunch (good bloody marys).

This is one of the better places to get a burger and fries if you are in Ames, and if you live on the west side of Ames this is one of the few restaurants available (as of right now, of course). I always gravitate to the bacon cheesburger which is generally cooked to perfection
