Reviews for The Cafe in Ames, IA
First time there. Am from out of town. Sat at the bar to get a quick seat. Kelsey was a great help with the menu and was... perfectly friendly. Korean steak and eggs was excellent. Steak was PERFECTLY on point. You could cut it with a fork it was sotender. The fried rice had a couple bites of strong salt as if someone dumped and didn't stir and it was a bit salty overall,but otherwise all the flavors combined well. Definitely worth having again.

The steak was amazing! Kimchi fried rice and egg was good too. However, all the foods are a little bit salty. (Especially on the... fries and eggs) Please use less salt! Your food itself is already good:)) Read more
Best place to eat in Ames Iowa as of today in my opinion. Menu changes with the seasons but they have some favorites for sure.... The deserts are amazing. Read more
The Cafe earns its rating of being the best restaurant in Ames. Unrivaled ambience, sharp service, and great food. We went for... dinner and the lighting/music was truly immaculate. The portion sizes are smaller than average - but are as satiating as ever.I recommend the Korean Steak & Eggs. The highlight of my visit was none other than the carrot cake. Quite possibly the bestI've ever had! The Cafe is fantastic, period. Couldn't recommend it more!! Read more
Had a great experience at The Cafe. The Korean Egg & Steak was incredible. The food was reasonably priced. The carrot cake was... also very good. I would love to return in the future! Read more
Their food never disappoints, one of my favorite places to eat! I like that they change up the menu so I can try new things and... that they have a kids menu. Remember to get a dessert (or 2) to take home if you are too full after eating as the desserts areterrific too! Read more
I can't for the life of me think of a better steak than what I had here. Honestly felt like the price should have been more with... the quality. The atmosphere was great and reminded me of my visit to Europe a few years back. Highly recommend! Waitress andstaff were friendly and polite. Read more
Nice place, had James Brown paying. That’s a plus. Food was good, nice clean place. Definitely not a small town old school... café. I am more modern café. Not a place to bring a date if you don’t plan on dating them long. They might get the wrongmessage. A little too nice for short term. Love Read more
