Additional Information
This was my first time at Ankeny Diner. I've heard a lot of good things about this place and now I agree. Very good food and... awesome service! Read more
The menu is a bit overwhelming and there is work to do to find what to eat. However, I overheard the onion rings were done... in-house and good eats. I was not disappointed. They were a tad bit greasy, but great flavor. I ended up getting the WesternMelt...ham, cheese, bacon and bbq sauce. It was done perfect. This is not a deli ham sandwich. If I am back in the area andhave a chance to sit down, I'll be here again! SN: The house salad is to be expected, bagged lettuce and some touchups. Read more
Don't let the outside appearance fool you. This restaurant is a hidden gem. It's located in the Ramada Inn that is being... renovated. I ate there for lunch & dinner and they are consistent & wonderful. With a large menu, you might be concerned thatquality could suffer but everything is made to delicious perfection. First meal, I had the grilled tenderloin and a potatocake. It's a Midwest tradition and both were great. There were three of us and we ate light. Second meal, I brought four pickyeaters, hahaha! I had the country fried steak with eggs. I was impressed by the flexibility of the wait staff. For my secondmeal, they substituted a potato cake for my hash browns with no problems. The family all had breakfast foods, which are servedanytime. The sausage gravy is absolutely the best I've ever had. Highly recommended. Most restaurants I've been to, the eggsaren't great but Ankeny Restaurant made scrambled eggs that didn't get cold too fast and tasted great from the first to the lastbite. I salute the cook for that. Our waitress was extremely patient with 3 rowdy kids and did everything right the first time.Despite changes and substitutions, the check was precise. I'll be glad to eat here every time I stay in Des Moines in thefuture. Thank you for two wonderful meals and perfect service. Read more
A hidden gem. We visit the Des Moines area often and, although I have heard about this restaurant before, we have never had the... opportunity to stop. We stopped last night and are glad we did. The atmosphere was pretty cool and cozy. The prices were veryreasonable and the food was very good. It was also neat to see how much they make from scratch. The spaghetti sauce was madefrom scratch. This place is not gourmet by any means, but it is good, solid food that should please the whole family at a veryaffordable price. We will be back. Read more

Great service but the hashbrown's are a hit or miss. Maybe I need to ask for them to be well done? They were still hard in the... middle & the country fried steak could of been left in the fryer for about 2 more minute's. Otherwise no complaint's. Read more
