I had two business dinners at the IowaStater in the past three months, each time the food was decent, but service was very, very slow each time. We had to go find our waitress for our bills, well after an hour after we finished our meal. Ordering was also pretty slow. Considering they were not very busy during the middle of the week, one would expect more prompt service. The first time I dined at the IowaStater I had the Pulled Pork Sandwich, which was pretty good. Meat and sauce was good, along with the slaw. The side salad was pretty minimalist. This evening I had the Sirloin Hamburger with bacon and blue cheese, with special request on pretzel roll instead of the kaiser roll (another menu item had the pretzel). The burger was okay, and the pretzel roll was not a pretzel roll. Again, salad was very minimalist. The beer menu is pretty poor, only 4 on tap, and otherwise predominately mass-market bottles. Overall, it is a decent place for a hotel restaurant. Food is okay, and not overpriced. However, I would certainly not go there unless myself or colleagues were staying in the hotel - far better places in Ames to frequent.

I had a small rehearsal dinner at the Iowa Stater before my wedding and was 100% happy with the meal, atmosphere and service provided. I had a hard time finding a nicer restaurant in Ames that had a private room available without cost, but I found the Iowa Stater and it worked perfectly. Food was great and service very professional.

THE BEST burger Ive had. Its hand chopped, cooked to order ( hard to get these days) and quite simply the best. There are great types of condiments, but the flavor and texture of the beef shines. When you bite into the burger and it drips down your arm.....it cant get better than that.

We went for breakfast and were very pleased with both the service and food. My daughter had a breakfast quessidilla, which looked amazing. Iowa omelet for me was good. Best they gave me a huge cup of coffee to go.

Great food! Corn Chowder is the best Ive ever had. Friendly service and always make the customer feel welcome. Recommend staying at the Gateway Hotel to enjoy the atmosphere of this Ames esteblishment.

Food average. Service horrible. Was ignored by the bartender for 30 mins. The guy who walked up to the bar next to me received instant service, however. Worst service Ive had in years.

Food tasted great and was the perfect temperature. Waited a long time to get seated even though there no line and only one couple at a table.

It was overpriced for the quality of food. Atmosphere was better before, now its like an overpriced hotel bar. Wont be going back.

Food quality doesn’t match the high price. Staff was friendly but a little slow.

Enjoyed the IowaStater burger. The candy bacon on the sandwich was delicious.
