You would think in a pinch they could just buy some at the Hy-Vee meat counter. Also, it took an hour for a carry out pizza. This time the experience left something to be desired.

We had a very nice dinner last night at Applebees in Pella. We were greeted by the sweetest most…read morehard-working hostess. She had a great smile and got us right to our table. I even noticed she was bussing tables, cleaning table tops and booth seats (very thoroughly) and even had time to thank people for coming as they left. Her name was Lily. Our server was Sarah who also made me the most amazing "perfect margarita". Our food was very hot and delicious! I had the Prime Rib Dipper and my husband had the ribs. We ended our meal with the apple pie dessert. All hot and delicious!! We are thankful Applebees is hiring hard-working staff who really seem to care about serving people well!

Four of us went for dinner here at about 5 pm. It was not busy at all maybe 6 tables with diners …read more We were seated for 25 mins and no one came to ask if we wanted drinks. Once we got the waiter we gave him our food order right away so we wouldn't have to wait again. Yet, we waited another 15 mins for drinks which were all wrong, had no ice in them, so they were returned. We waited for our meals which were just hamburgers and chicken with pasta for about an hour. The hamburgers were okay but the chicken was still cold, not cooked through. All in all it was a disappointing experience and we won't go back there.

We were greeted by the bartenders with a smile and a "Welcome in!". The staff were really nice and even when the bar picked up a little later, they were attentive, efficient, and polite. They definitely didn't "crack under pressure" lol. Inside, the bar and tables were very clean and organized. There is a pool table, but only one :/ I do wish they had a few more because when the bar got busy, everyone wanted a turn. The prices are amazing and the specials are so fun! It's also nice that they're open during the summer, since most bars in Ames seem to close for summer vacation.

Instead of heading straight home, Scott suggested that we drive past our former Ames house and then stop for a drink at Mother's Pub, which was known as Dugan's Deli when he attended ISU. We had a nice time, as we ordered our drinks, took them to the patio outside, and let Scott reminisce about his college days. And even though I graduated as a Hawkeye, I could tell my own Ames stories, like the time Bob Merrill and I stormed onto the old Clyde Williams Field with others to cheer the ISU football team during coin toss. As ISU is not in session, Mother's Pub was a bit quiet, like we were almost the only ones there. I wouldn't mind coming back to hear some live music and hanging out with family again.

I found myself a spot across from a tv so that I could watch some Olympic hockey. Very attentive but not intrusive staff. When I finished one drink or my food, my glass/plate were swiftly whisked away. The tiny Guinness shot was adorable, and honestly worth the money for the selfie opportunity alone. I also had their lamb burger with fries, which was quite good as well. They had plenty of pub favorites on the menu, but if I stopped by again, I would probably still get the lamb. It's such an underrated option.
