Restaurant
👍👍 This is the second time I come to try the November’s special beef noodle soup. Way too amazing! Probably the best noodle I’ve ever had in Iowa. I guess I would come here every time after shopping at Costco😜

Nonna’s Pizza & Pasta
Italian restaurant
👍👍 We went in for dinner last night and the place was really busy. The staff were very attentive and friendly. We were able to get a nice spot at the bar and had some excellent drinks while we waited for our meals. The atmosphere is a little crazy but we enjoy watching people and talking with folks....

Amigos Mexican Grill Ankeny
Mexican restaurant
👍👍 We were headed to Kansas City and stopped here for dinner. Other Google reviews said this place was really good Mexican food and they were not lying! The burritos were massive and oh-so-good! After they put in all the deliciousness you want and wrap it up they put it in a grill press to seal it all...

Fresh Fit Meals Ankeny
Health food restaurant
👍👍 As someone who pays a LOT of attention to macros, it's so nice to be able to pick up food quickly and know exactly what you're getting. It's not a gourmet mouth-watering five-star, but it is a place I can count on to consistently offer healthy options. I also appreciate their hours and their custome...

👍👍 We had their ice cream truck at our wedding and the experience was amazing! Not only was the ice cream great, but the workers were so nice and easy to work with. We had some rain at the wedding that cut into the hour that we had the truck reserved, but they stayed late to serve our guests and make s...

Filet Steakhouse

👍👍 We were invited to their soft opening and went to their grand opening. Absolutely delicious both times! Great service as well, didn’t feel rushed. The vibe is so relaxing. They’re a local family owned restaurant, which I love! We tried appetizers, steak, pasta, burger, dessert and of course their dr...

Portofino's Italian Restaurant & Pizza
Italian restaurant
😠 I have no idea why people give this 5 stars. $56 for bitter cheese, watery pizza, and seemingly frozen-microwaved ziti (all mixed with terrible lasagna and floppy tortellini). Worst soup I've ever had in my life. Water-starch-Red40??? Had to use my own pizza cutter to grab a slice from the pizza. Ga...

TrailSide Tap
Restaurant
👍👍 I had the Huevos Rancheros, and my son daughter and wife all opted for the Banana Foster French Toast! Trailside is an excellent place to grab brunch, especially on a Saturday morning, which many brunch places don't do! Flavors were exceptional. I topped off the Huevos Rancheros with a Bloody Mary w...

👍👍 This is a strip mall gem! Hidden behind a building and mixed in with several other businesses, you won’t want to miss this place. This was my first time eating here and the food was so amazing. Don’t be intimidated by the chalk board menu. The staff is amazing and they’ll help you pick if you need h...
