Reviews for Fazoli's in Ankeny, IA
Went in about an hour before closing and staff was still as friendly as could be. Food was hot & tasty and they over stocked us... on bread sticks. Glad this location is still around and doing well. Read more
Service was great, friendly and attentive. Pasta dishes were average to below average. We ordered the Grand Sampler which was... supposed to come with lasagna (we didn't get any), the chicken Alfredo didn't have any chicken in it, the meat sauce on theravioli was meatless. They gave us plenty of bread sticks, the flavor was great but they were overbaked & seemed like they hadbeen sitting awhile. The pizzas we ordered, both the pepperoni and cheese, were amazing ????. The fried mozzarella skewers wereawesome ????! Read more
This was a good Fazoli's that met our road-trip needs well. Our order was 100% correct and came with a HEAPING pile of... complimentary breadsticks! Yum. Conveniently located just a couple minutes off of I-35. Read more
Went in with my family at 8pm to get some food. We stood at the counter for ten minutes as the lady behind the counter clearly... on her phone (it was sitting on the table right in front of us) did not acknowledge us at all. She proceeded to talk on herphone and ignore the fact we were standing there waiting to order and making sure to not make eye contact as she walked back andforth in front of us. There was only one other family eating there this evening. After waiting for literally 10 minutes Idecided to take my family elsewhere. Read more
Love this chain. They don't have any where I live so I go anytime I travel and they are there. This one did not disappoint. The... place was very busy but the staff was nice and we didn't have to wait long for our food to be brought to our table. And I lovethe bread sticks. Read more
When the cook has to come out and tell the 2 people working the counter to wait on the customers, take it as a sign and... leave! They were too busy talking to each other and completely ignoring customers. Bread sticks were awesome! Food was standardFazoli's fare Read more
So I went to get some Fazoli?s and this is what I received after asking for a chicken parm no cheese and breadsticks. I received... a slop of different noodles with a drizzle of sauce with the most cheese I have ever seen in my LIFE. I had to perform surgeryto remove the pounds of cheese. The breadsticks are moist on the outside and somehow still dry on the inside?? Seems likesomeone just rinsed them off and put them in a bag? don?t get me started about the chicken, taste like they went out back andrummaged through the trash to grab three measly pieces of chicken, rinsed them off in the hand washing only sink and proceededto SLAP the ?chicken? in the cluster of combination noodles. Moral of the story, pay your employees so they actually care abouttheir job. I saw the person handing the order turn around and ask the cook something, the cook replied with ?just give it tothem? probably not paying attention because his music was too loud on his headphones. Thank you Fazoli?s for a fun and freshFriday night. Do better ?? Read more
For the price, I expect better. The only reason I continue to eat here is because it's one of my daughter's favorite... places. The meatballs are okay, but the red sauce begs for a heavy dose of parmesan to try and save it, but the parmesan adds aweird starchy/floury taste to the food. Service is consistently inconsistent, and most times seems either indifferent orbothered that you're there. The atmosphere, similar to the food, is nothing remarkable, although there seems to be more thanenough seating, so that's a plus. The bread sticks (usually soft and slightly greasy) were dry and actually crunchy on bothends. Clear signs to me that they were either old stock, or overcooked from the start. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone as aplace to eat. The only reason to go here at all is of you're in the same boat as me, and someone you care about has aninexplicable fondness of the food.
