It is funny to see the top 5 list from a student perspective versus what I think as the top places living in Ames as an adult.

I'M A MAN! I'M 22!!! :wink:

Cafe Northwest is my favorite. I also really like Wallaby's.

I used to think Cafe Northwest was good. The quality seems to have been declining recently. The last time we went there the food was so horrible we haven't been able to convince ourselves to go back.

lol. I remember going there and watching them pull cleaning supplies like Drano and windex out from their storage places under the buffet. Seemed like an odd place to store harsh chemicals. Consequently, we don't go there anymore, even though i work less than 2 blocks away.

 

[dustinal]

no particular order...

Olde Main
Dublin Bay
Cafe Northwest
Lucullan's
La Fuente

I'd like to go to places like The Spice, Cafe Shi, and Fuji Steakhouse more often, but the wife isn't so fond of them.

1. West St Deli
2. Battles
3. CHC
4. Great Plains

I ate there yesterday, pretty blah. It is only good when you are really hungry and don't mind eating the most unheathly food in the world. It is great after a day of tailgating though.

I couldn't narrow it down to 5. This is probably why I gained about 30 pounds at ISU only to lose it after college. Well, that and Welch Ave until 2 a.m. 4+ nights a week.
