Flavor was top notch, I love a great ribeye. Salmon and shrimp was perfect as well and burger was perfect too. Nothing was under cooked or over cooked, perfect. We had several sides, mashed potatoes, Mac n cheese, Broccoli and Brussels sprouts. All were great, the only comment on sides is maybe some bourbon brown sugar type glaze on the Brussels sprouts. The wine selection is great, and we had some Moscow Mules that were absolutely perfect. And our server Ms. Avery was very knowledgeable on all the food and did a great job!

I personally didn't care to walk into a place to enjoy a meal and have political coverage all over the tvs. I get that it's a small town, but sometimes you just want a break from all that. The salad bar was great with lots of options. The prime rib was at the end of it's run. After I ordered mine a few tables over they were told they were sold out. The piece I got was clearly towards the end. The food wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. I'm all about supporting small business but was it worth the hour drive each way and almost double the price of Texas Roadhouse? No. Also be prepared that because it's a small town the other clientele are more concerned about the strangers at their steakhouse than they are their own meal. Only one server for the dining room we were in.

I live in San Diego, so one of my goals for my most recent visit to see family in Ames was to try…read moreClayton Farms Salads. It did not disappoint. I love that when you drive up, you can see all the greens growing inside. We placed our order, then had a quick chat with the friendly young man at the window. But there wasn't much time for conversation because as promised, we got the world's freshest salads. It was so quick. We got home an opened up our salads and they looked amazing. My husband got the southwest salad and I got the Caesar salad. They were both delicious. Everything was incredibly fresh and so tasty. We really liked the Salad Girl dressings as well. I'm super picky about salads, and if it's not fresh, then I'm not interested. This was easily the best salad I've ever had. My Mother has been having their lettuce delivered practically since the beginning and I am always impressed with the freshness and flavor. Unfortunately, their facilities tours were not available during our visit, but I'd love to take the tour sometime. I will be insisting on visiting Clayton Farms Salads every time we visit Ames.

4/14/26 3:15 p.m…read more Online Order for Pick Up Food: We were very excited to try the food here, but we weren't too impressed, unfortunately. We ordered a Caesar Wrap w/chicken, Chicken Pesto w/no cherry tomatoes, Firehouse Chimichurri w/steak and no cherry tomatoes, Chocolate Smoothie, and Farmer's Punch. For starters, all of the produce was fresh and crisp (which is always a plus), but you can tell that meat is not their forte. The chicken tasted as if it were precooked, frozen chicken (not saying that's a bad thing, just didn't seem as if it was freshly cooked), and the steak was full of almost inedible gristle. The overall flavor of the food was pretty lackluster as well, besides on the Chicken Pesto; the balsamic vinaigrette was very overpowering. The Caesar Wrap was large, but the sandwiches were quite small portion-wise. The Chocolate Smoothie tasted more like a green smoothie with chocolate protein powder, and we had a really hard time keeping it mixed; sadly, we didn't finish it :( The Farmer's Punch, on the other hand, was really good! Service: The service wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. The person who greeted us was friendly, but not particularly social, if that makes sense? It almost seemed as if they didn't have enough time for us. They were polite and quick with getting our order to us, though. Ambiance: Inside is quite small and not meant for a dine-in experience; there are no tables at all. This is definitely a pick-up/to-go/drive-through type of establishment. It's kept very clean, though, from what we could see.

Not real thrilled about that part, but truly the only negative)! While having a different taste with the peanut butter, it was surprisingly a delicious sandwich. Chips were crisp for the most part.
