Top Five Ames Restaurants

based on food alone i'd say

1. the cafe
2. jeffs pizza
3. geangelos
4. taco bell (sad that it makes the list)
5. aunt maudes
 
Cafe Northwest is my favorite. I also really like Wallaby's.

I used to think Cafe Northwest was good. The quality seems to have been declining recently. The last time we went there the food was so horrible we haven't been able to convince ourselves to go back.
 
1.) King Buffet
2.) King Buffet
3.) King Buffet
4.) King Buffet
5.) King Buffet
:biglaugh:

lol. I remember going there and watching them pull cleaning supplies like Drano and windex out from their storage places under the buffet. Seemed like an odd place to store harsh chemicals. Consequently, we don't go there anymore, even though i work less than 2 blocks away.
 
no particular order...

Olde Main
Dublin Bay
Cafe Northwest
Lucullan's
La Fuente

I'd like to go to places like The Spice, Cafe Shi, and Fuji Steakhouse more often, but the wife isn't so fond of them.

I ate there yesterday, pretty blah. It is only good when you are really hungry and don't mind eating the most unheathly food in the world. It is great after a day of tailgating though.
 
Somewhat in order:

Hickory Park (Didn't eat there much as a student, really appreciate it as an alum)
La Fuente
Old Chicago
Olde Main
Flying Burrito

Honorable Mention:

West Street Deli
Battle's
Cazador
 
1. Great Plains (This is the Clear number 1 for any sane person!)
2. Hickory Park
3. King Buffett
4. La Fuente
5. Flying Burrito
6. Gyro/Superdog stands
7. Steak & Skewer (in mall)
8. Grove Cafe (great breakfast.......really cheap, also Cael Sanderson was eating there every time I went!)
9. Battles BBQ
10. Legends (just for the view.......food isn't great....or very good even)


I couldn't narrow it down to 5. This is probably why I gained about 30 pounds at ISU only to lose it after college. Well, that and Welch Ave until 2 a.m. 4+ nights a week.
 
Lil' Taipei
Pizza Pit
Great Plains
Flying Burrito
Dublin Bay
Gyro Cart

No particular order.

Clearly you people forgot to mention the taco bell...hahahahaha
