Newer Ames burger joint named Best Burger in Iowa

[ISUCyclones2015]

Talking with the owner, he had another possible location narrowed down to a couple places.

New Kingland Renovation areas on Welch
West Towne Pub Area (Least Likely)
Downtown Ames
Across the street from Principal Park in Des Moines.

I would love to see Brick City come to Campustown or West Ames (the old Wallaby spot?).

The place has the feel of a sports bar of great neighborhoods I remember in Chicago. I love places like that.

Tried to go there tonight. 1 hour wait. We went to El Azteca.

Went to Oddfellows for the second time this week. The 50/50 and grilled cheese burger are awesome, the donut burger on the other hand, wasnt good at all.

I'm not a huge Brick City fan, but it's 1000% better than Oddfellows, I've never had anything good there.

So you had to wait 30 minutes for seating at a sports bar during the final four and that ruined it for you?

It didn't ruin it for me. I just got a couple of beers while I waited. No big deal. Maybe for you, but I was cool with it as I ran into a few people I knew and watched the game.

Any place in Iowa have a ground bacon burger?

A place in my area has a 50/50 beef and bacon burger. It's rich and must cause an increased risk of sudden heart attack, but it's goooood

Should I not get the burgers? I did try the tenderloin once, it was terrible, big but terrible.

Oddfellows is just okay. Throw on top what the price is and it just isn't worth it imo.

For those who haven't been to Brick City Grill:

Farmer Brown
All natural beef burger, fried egg, maple cured ham, farmhouse cheddar,
golden fried hash brown and crisp lettuce with a dab of mayo.

Brick City Double
14 oz of fresh Angus, 4 slices of American cheese, 4 slices of bacon
and our 1000 Island dressing. Grab a few extra napkins!

I'm assuming by "all natural beef", they mean that it wasn't a "laboratory-grown" piece of ground beef?

I enjoy joy the peanut butter pasta, but the burgers have zero flavor.

I think Tally's in Beaverdale advertizes a 50/50 bacon burger but that place consistently disappoints everyone and has no real identity beyond having a patio over beaverdale.

They had a great Sunday brunch when I lived in Beaverdale.

Finally ate there... nothing special at all... actually below average. Frozen fries from a bag, not even seasoned. I had the fish and chips, my son had a burger. The fish was not hand made, just some frozen stuff they cooked. Not sure why anyone would go to a restaurant to eat cooked Hy-Vee food. My son's burger was good, but again... "hash browns" on it were those frozen ones that are a rectangle with rounded ends... why would a restaurant not even be able to make fresh hash browns.

Staff was friendly.

Very underwhelmed.

I assume the location across from Principal Park would be the old Foundry Building. That would be a VERY cool building to put a restaurant in.

I had a burger at brick city last night. The brick city double. One of the best burgers I've ever eaten.
