In Memoriam: Ames Business/Restaurants
- Thread starter Farnsworth
- Start date
Rhetorical question? Yes. Aunt Maude's is alive and welll. And the Tipper? It will outlast all of us, just as it has for decades. It could survive a nuclear Holocaust.
Yes, we were regulars on Fri. and Sat. nights. T\I recall the base player was Walt Bappe. I don't recall the name of his piano player
My niece never went to the TipTop while she was in school. We went to a FB game a couple of yrs ago together, I took her there and I don't think it had changed since I was in school LOL. Wall to wall Cyclones all drinking beer and eating chili. Everyone should go there once.
I’m sure I’ll get killed but I’ve always thought Aunt Maudes was overrated. Not a bad restaurant. Just not the one people make it up to be.
It has zero competition, though. It’s a fine restaurant, but the Cafe has a very different vibe, and if you don’t want to go to DSM, I’m not aware of another option for a “nice” dinner.
My only quibble is that Ames isn’t that small anymore, but I’m definitely glad to have both. I wish there were more “nice” options, but the pandemic definitely set us back.
Didn't go through the whole thread, but the answer is Peoples Bar and Grill. It's a travesty that place had to shut down.
Add me to the hit list then. Have ate there a couple times first time I was hungover as all get out trying to impress a girl for lunch so figured give it a shot again. Went there with the wife and we both said yeah it's not a bad spot but nothing to rave over.
