    Brisket burger, potato scoops and beans
    Kat B.

    This is the review that almost never happened! My husband were out and about and took some random roads that eventually led us nearby. I had heard about this place multiple times because we don't live too far away. I figured we should at least drive by since we were in the area and talked about how we had never driven through this town. I'm so glad we did! It was 3:45 and we were hungry. I looked on Facebook to see if they were open. Sure enough they were open and starting in 45 minutes they'd be offering the bbq brisket burger with bacon and cheese with baked beans and potato scoops. We had to kill some time but we called in our order and gave them a pickup time. The burger was ground, grilled and dressed perfectly! The bbq sauce was tangy, bacon was GRILLED perfectly and the cheese was just sort of melty. It was fantastic! I liked the baked beans and potato scoops but the burger was absolutely the star here. While my order was finishing on the grill I was chatting with an employee and she was so friendly and welcoming! I really can't wait to go back and further explore the menu. This may be a small town bar but they absolutely knocked it out of the park!

    Best bar around worth the drive out of Ankeny or Ames. Amazing food and great bartenders!

    Food was below average, staff was okay but not super friendly, weird set up. Overall, wouldn't go back.

    Went on a Friday night, service was excellent from Kallie and pizza and egg rolls were phenomenal.

    Fun little bar and grill. We enjoyed happy hour drink specials and shared a sandwich. Will definitely be back.

    This hidden gem near Ankeny is by far the best sports bars I've ever been to.

    Camping outside of Webster City, we always look for a local spot to try when we travel. Tonight,…read morelucky us, it was the Grid Iron. Be prepared to show a little grace, there were a lot of cars turning in there as we came up to it- from the food, I'm guessing they're always busy! My wife chose their mainline burger (no cheese) and house fries. Honestly, I think we could tell how good it was going to be when got out of the car and that awesome charbroil smell overwhelmed us. She loved it. I had the Chipotle Bacon cheeseburger on Texas toast, well done for me (they will prepare to your liking), which is charbroiled, then dunked in their home made bourbon sauce and served with Swiss cheese and jalapeños. The fries have some type of coating that makes them a little crispier and a little tastier. Even if you're cruising up I35, it's worth the detour into WC for a great meal. Plenty of tv's but even with a crowd, you can still have enjoyable conversation at your table. It's no wonder one whole wall is covered with "best of" awards. They deserve them. Bon Appetite!

    We drove 45 miles to try the Sunday breakfast buffet and it did not disappoint. We enjoyed every…read moresingle bite and the customer service was fantastic. Our server was friendly and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed the entire time. The biscuits and gravy were a favorite! It's hard to find a good gravy but they nailed it. The options to choose from were great! You had everything from fruit to French toast to mashed potatoes and fried chicken. I can't say enough about the friend chicken! The skin was battered perfectly and it was incredibly crispy while the meat inside was still juicy and delicious. This is some of the best friend chicken we've ever had - hands down!! The only suggestions I would make is #1 get there early because it is a popular place and #2 A 'cook to order' option for the eggs in the buffet would push it over the top. We can't wait to go back!

    Even suburbs need dive bars -- and I was so happy to find this one in Ankeny! When we first moved…read moreto Ankeny I was so sad because it didn't seem that there were many dive bars in town -- but then I found The Clipper! Great prices for beer - always has the games on - and a friendly crowd. I'm quite confident that this is where you will find the genuinely cool people of Ankeny. No one in this bar has their nose held too high and everyone is here to have fun. The bartenders are great -- easy going and laid back and will get your beer with no fuss. Everyone needs a bar that is their last stop for the night close to home - a place you can just pop in your favorite sweatshirt and leggings and watch the game. This is that place! Love Yankee Clipper!

    Taco Tuesday is ok, not good. Service sub par at best,…read more STOP assuming everyone that walks in the door is a lifer and knows that just because the locals know it's Taco Tuesday that it means no point in the menu, except it doesn't. I had no idea if there was meat choices (there isn't) or toppings or sides (there are sides like fries) I'm glad I asked for the menu, as I almost thought about the nachos. Which I would have not known about if I hadn't seen a menu. We did not appreciate the rudeness when she asked if we were ready to order and I replied how would we know we haven't seen a menu. Just for her to roll her eyes and come back and toss them on the table. That attitude made me not want to spend my money there and my tip absolutely reflected her poor behavior. She could have earned 20 from me alone out of our group, instead of what was left over from the change. I work in the service industry and I appreciate both good food and service and it also would have been nice if our checks were correct but I have learned to pick and chose my battles but that also helped contribute to her not super tip. To the taco loved the shell it's like fry bread and one taco is the entire basket you have been warned. Sadly it wasn't really warm my fries were not even close to warm and definitely floppy. Really the stinker of the show was the server, so don't expect much.
