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!

Liked our server, Gio, who knew his craft. Enjoyed my Faroe Island Salmon with mashed potatoes and a Caesar Salad. Liked that Gio listened well and got my order right!

My group and I entered the restaurant around 5 PM and were immediately seated at a table. The first thing that came to mind when viewing the interior was pure nostalgia from my childhood. The restaurant exists within a Time Machine in the best way possible. You don't need frills when the food is this good. Speaking of the food, our group got a sampler platter to start with. I tried a bit of everything. The onion rings and cheese curds both drew rave reviews. The fried sweet corn got a mixed reaction, but I quite enjoyed it. The pizza menu allows for a lot of creative thinking with the different sizes. Most of our group got their own mini pizzas. The three people who tried that reported that they were all delicious and a perfect size for one person. My friend and I decided to split a large pepperoni, sausage and Canadian bacon pizza. It. Was. Amazing! Let's start with the crust. It was thin and had a nice crunch to it. My favorite bites were the ones where the pizza was slightly more done. I loved the thickness of the crust. The sauce was delicious, the pepperoni solid, and the Canadian bacon good. But the real star was the sausage. It had a little bit of a bite, in a spicy way, that was fantastic and left you craving more. We should've had plenty of leftovers, but my friend and I both decided it was too good to not eat the whole thing right then. The wait staff was very attentive and we were even blessed with a visit from the owner to check on how our meal was. A very nice touch. If you want a unique, thin crust pizza that allows for everyone to get their own favorite toppings, visit Leon's. You will not be disappointed!

We were 2 couples. Early Saturday afternoon we made reservations for 6:30pm. We arrived about…read more6:20pm and we were seated right away in one of their booths. The decor is pretty low rate. The whole restaurant desperately needs an update. The restrooms are only for one person at a time. This causes some major lines. But the service and food quality makes up for all of those issues. Our server was on the ball and came around frequently. We all ordered the prime rib. This is the ONLY place I will order prime rib. Everywhere else it's been flavorless, pure fat or tough. It's been none of that here. The salad is nothing special, just iceberg lettuce, a little cheese and a few Fritos. But it was pretty good, anyway. The blue cheese dressing was excellent, with some nice chunks of cheese. The baked potato was very good, nice & fluffy. It was done all the way through. So many time they're hard in the middle, but not these! We've been here several times before and we'll be back again!

Ownership behavior always has been my-way-or-the-highway, going back two or three generations of ownership, but when demand exceeds supply, they can (and do) make their own rules.

The restaurant is an old Long Johns Silvers, so the inside is quite small and can't seat a lot of people. We had no wait on a Saturday around 11:30am. It was past noon by the time we left and was filling up fast. I had the Garden Roll and the Spider Roll and both were delicious. I didn't expect them to be as good as they were. The plate they were served on had a cute design on it made from some different sauces. The girlfriend started with a house salad and the ginger sauce on top I thought was sweeter than what I have usually had, though still really good. Her main entree was the shrimp combo with fried rice instead of steamed. The flavor was okay, have had wayy better hibachi and she agreed. All and all, I think it was good. I would go back!

The menu had a diversity of options with both bistro and full size options. We both settled on the Main St. chicken dish on recommendation from the waitress along with swapping the rice for mashed potatoes. Great suggestion. My conference mate asked to have her mushrooms removed and I asked to have the tomatoes removed. Although we both ordered the same meal, the presentation looked different for each of us and hit the spot for our tastebuds. Mine seemed more like a chicken marsala while hers was a tomato sauce. Either way we both enjoyed our meals. We both also had dessert - I had the delicious chocolate cake with raspberry sauce. Honestly there was too much sauce but the cake was still delicious! My conference mate had the peanut pie and it was divine - imagine a Reese cup with an Oreo crust. If I'm ever back in Ames this will definitely be on my return list!!

The décor is refined and elegant, making it a great choice for special occasions or a night when you want to indulge a little. The service is unquestionably one of the highlights. Staff members are attentive, professional, and consistently go out of their way to make the evening feel seamless. From prompt seating to thoughtful check-ins, you truly feel taken care of throughout the meal. The steak itself is good well-prepared, flavorful, and cooked as ordered but it doesn't quite reach the level of the very best steakhouses in the area. While enjoyable, it lacks that standout quality that would justify the premium price point on its own. Speaking of price, be prepared: this is a high-end spot, and the cost reflects the fancy ambiance and top-tier service as much as the food. Overall, it's a solid choice if you're looking for excellent service and an elegant setting, with steak that's good--just not the absolute best around.
