Fine, I'll do it.
The Cafe is SUPER overrated.
The internet has enabled too many people, or in this case one person, to share terrible opinions, it needs to be regulated.
I've noticed that the only people who recommend Hickory Park don't live in Ames. Nobody who lives in Ames even mentions Hickory Park to people who ask what the best places to eat in town are.
Hickory Park is a good place if you are taking a family, but the BBQ is very below average.
Decently priced and the kids like the burgers and sundaes. You don't go there for good BBQ.

I go to Hickory Park about once a year and it’s good for what it is, but it’s certainly not on the list of best restaurants in Ames. It’s not what it was 30 years ago, although there’s also just more options now.
Another recommendation is Dublin Bay for Irish food.
Going to be hard to win unless Rocco turns into prime Tom Brady... feel bad for him because he really has to win the entire game by himself (with the O Line as well, which has actually been quite good). No help from the defense, special teams, or his own receivers or tight ends lol.
It’s not nearly as cheap as it used to be. That was always the big draw for me.
Saucy Southerner with fries was like 5 bucks back in the day. Hard to beat.
buddy, we're talking about food here
Don't get me wrong, I'll throw down a saucy southerner every now and then. I just find it funny that whenever someone online asks for Ames restaurant recommendations, you get a bunch of non-Ames people jumping the bit to yell "You HAVE to go to Hickory Park, it's the best!!!"
Reminds me a lot of playing Iowa, I actually think we can slow them down and get enough stops. But going to have to make a couple field goals. Their defense is very good and very physical. Will come down to if Rocco can make enough throws, and our guys can catch the damn ball enough to stretch them out or not.
I think it's close and low scoring. Like 24-21 or something like that.

Mexican: love El Azteca (north or south, i like north better), service can't be beat, and the food is really good, and FAST
Chinese: I recommend 888 in north ames, try the orange chicken, or mongolian beef
Indian, there are some places in campustown, arent there?
Cafe Beaudelaire is good for a meal.
And if you want somewhere to have a drink, or to catch up on other football games, try Welch Ave Station. Right below Pizza Pit, which has good pizza, better sandwiches, and the BEST wings in town.
From Campbell's presser today, sounds like Kyle will play.
