Reviews for Yankee Clipper in Ankeny, IA
Great place to enjoy your afternoon. The patio is relaxing. Bar staff is awesome; thank you B and Courtney!
The tacos were outstanding! Mike and his staff do an amazing job! We are telling us to stop in when they are in the area!
I have been going to The Clipper for years and love everything about it from the atmosphere, to the staff, to the patio, and of... course the food!! Highly recommend you check it out if you have not been yet. Read more
This was a huge mistake. Worst fish E V E R! Deep fried triangles of something resembling a greasy piece of carp. They call it... fish? No wonder we were the only people eating lunch at 12:30. Read more
Never had the steak sandwich at The Clipper....told Jackie to leave the bread....Matt cooked an excellent steak rivaling the... taste and quality of an Outback cut of meat. Always great food!!! So I eased on up to the joint. Had a bowl of chickentortilla soup and some wings to go. Tasty as usual. Clean kitchen. I appreciate a clean space. I took what I could of the wingsthen Nola Birds finished them off. Look at her face. If you zoom in...you can see her tounge getting to ready to make a standon the food. Live long and prosper.

Stopped in for a quick noontime bloody mary. Good n spicy! Nice homey comfortable atmosphere. Wife had a raspberry mule. Had to... leave because they were going down like kool-aid. Read more
We went there for lunch today and had a great meal! We had the ?Frips? with Cajun seasoning and cheese sauce for an appetizer. I... had today?s special of Cheeseburger basket with added bacon and a side of cottage cheese. My husband had the French Dip withprovolone cheese and a side of onion tanglers. Pros: - Food was tasty. We plan on going again! - The added bacon was not just astrip or two, it was like a bacon square so that every bite had bacon. I highly recommend the $1.25 up charge if you love bacon(I mean, who doesn?t?!) - I appreciated side options that weren?t just more fried food. - They apparently have an amazing TacoTuesday special that I?m excited to try out sometime. Cons: - The Cajun seasoning on the Frips, while tasty, was sometimes sothick that it came off in clumps and got everywhere. - The poor lady was manning the bar and waitressing two rooms and patio byherself. She was excellent but it would?ve been nice if she had some help. - (Not food related) For the men: Better hope youdon?t have to go #2 (or that you?re not bashful about it!). There?s no separate stall from the urinals and no lock on theexterior bathroom door. Read more
Taco tuesdays are the best here. Come early like right at 11 a.m. or you probally won't get a seat. 1 taco is all you need.
