Isn’t that the place that someone changed the sign to read, “our big softies are a mouthful.”?
i.e., the old Pizza Hut building.
...which later was Indian Delight, and is now Daytime Diner.
Taco Time. Graduated back in the mid 70’s. When ever I had a meeting or conference in central Iowa, I most always set aside time to swing into Ames for a little “Taco Time”.
My grandparents have always lived in Ames. We would go there when I was a kid. I really loved their Hog Wild Burger.
One of my favorites. There were 3 other Chinese restaurants around Welch at that time. One next to Home Team, Golden Wok, and another next to Tazzles (sp).
Battles is the easy winner, circa 2002 before moving to Welch. Texas Toast and some of their Lemonade, hell ya!
No, it's changed many times. I still have my Margarita Challenge shirt though!
Battles was my thought too, but I only had it in the 2010s version by the post office.
The old place on Heyward (next to Jimmy John's) could seat a dozen people at most.
Honestly their burgers and wings were fine. My favorite part was probably their French fries. They were big crinkle cut.
