Breakfast in Ames

[arndog77]

hi all. thought I would venture over here to get you expert opinions. Where is a good place to have sunday breakfast in Ames? My family and i are coming down for my brother's graduation from ISU. We are staying in Ames saturday night(don't ask me how I found a hotel room, Boone was booked, but Ames still had rooms) so i was wondering a good place to eat sunday morning before we head out of town. I'm sure my bro would have great advice, just want to get a general opinion from others. Thanks!:smile:

The Tip Top:biggrin:! But only if you like Chili. Kidding.

I know Olde Main used to have a brunch buffet, not sure if they still do though.

After Cyclone Truckstop closed breakfast in Ames ceased to exist for me.

Coming from a guy named EggMcClone this is pretty funny.

The Gateway Hotel has a great Sunday brunch.

Got to second the Olde Main buffet. Much better than Gateway or any experience I've had at that place out on East Lincoln Way (though I don't even know if it's still open).

:wink: Wow - I must say, I wasn't expecting you to reference THAT song. I thought you were responding to me not knowing the current name of that place out on West Lincoln Way - I have no clue what its name is currently, so that sounded as good as anything else!! :biglaugh:

You say we've got nothing in common
No common ground to start from
And we're falling apart
You say the world has come between us
Our lives have come between us
But I know you just don't care

Tiffany's?

I think I remember the film.
As I recall, I think, we both kind of liked it.

I'm surprised Angie didn't suggest Angie's Kitchen (by Lake Laverne)

I've been curious if that was any good!! It's grown to a bigger location, hasn't it?

I know a few people who have said it sure tastes great about 2:30 AM :wink:

I've always liked eating at HyVee. Good prices and it's filling.

That or Perkins has good breakfast choices.
