Have to, it's always so loud there.I was going to call you out for yelling but in this case I’ll allow it.
With this sale, I'm assuming the buyer is going to try and franchise this out or start expanding themselves.
So new owners that say they arent going to change a thing. It's even a local investment group run by an ISU alum. Sounds like a big nothing burger to me.
Hmmm, worked there in college as a cook and am kind of surprised the old man didn’t sell it to his son. He was a manager there at the time and always thought he was positioning himself to take it over some day.

Apparently his son already ran another restuarant to the ground in Ames many years ago so not sure this was ever the plan. Wont say too much and maybe this person will eventually post more here if they choose to but I know there is a poster here that worked there for a few years and got to know some of the key people running the place and apparently the owners son wasnt exactly the most liked person there.
I can tell you for a fact that the son does not work there but the ex daughter in law is management.Apparently his son already ran another restuarant to the ground in Ames many years ago so not sure this was ever the plan.

I worked there for a while. Son was a jerk. Made lots of inappropriate comments to female waitresses. Belittled cooks all the time. Was appropriately shown the door. I always admired the old man for that. Sad to see it sold. Hope the new owners dont get greedy.
