Best Burger in Ames

[HFCS]

Late 90s Cy's Roost buck burgers is a great answer. Haven't been there in years, but why exactly is it so different?

Cafe Burger hands down

I will agree with this.

Agree

No longer available but $1 burgers at the old Cy's Roost on Weds (before they got closed down and turned into a preppy bar in early 2000's, were pretty damn good burgers. Beer and burgers before Weds night class was my favorite.

Say it ain't so! Cy's Roost was a great change of pace bar with good food when I went to school from 77-81. "Cy's Fries" hit the spot after a few hours of drinking. Met my wife there in '81.

I'll cast my vote for Wallaby's, but it's been ages since I had a burger in Ames. The Gigglin' Goat in Boone was pretty good when I was there somewhat recently.

They completely re-did the inside. Gone are the old booths with all the carvings etc. It doesn't even look like the same place....no idea wth they were thinking. :sad:

Wallaby's is a great place, and the people who work there have always been nice.

I haven't been there since it changed ownership, but Whiskey River used to have some of the best burgers that I've ever had. Not sure what they're like now.

Otherwise, I vote for the Spanish Burger at Cafe B.

If you're in Ankeny or Des Moines, check out Smashburger, too.

Smash Burger has the best fries on the planet.

If youre in Des Moines, while smashburger is a solid option, you definitely have to hit Zombie Burger.

Absolutely agree

If youre in Des Moines, while smashburger is a solid option, you definitely have to hit Zombie Burger.

Stopped in there for lunch for the first time today. Burgers are above outstanding, the fries kinda sucked.

Cy's Roost doesn't have burgers or deep fried pickles anymore?

This is a ******* travesty.

Honestly some of the most disappointing news I've heard in ages.

I think this needs to be in thread (apologizes for the poor quality and the Spanish subtitles):
