West Towne Pub - Ames

Good place to sit on the bar bar, but everywhere else the service will suck at a table. Eat is okay, but if you order late the food will probably sit for a because until it is bright for them after the kitchen is closed so if it is wrong or cold they cannot reorder. but are always great.

Great place to watch March Madness! We are in for the tournament from Georgia and this was right next to our hotel. Giving it a solid A for the food…get the corn bites! I ordered salmon and veggies and it was really good! Our waitress was great, service was spot on and TV’s everywhere. We’ll be back after the game to order the exact same thing and sit in the same spot! Go Dawgs!

We were looking forward to trying this while in west Ames, and even had a discount coupon from an Ames HS fund-raiser. Unfortunately, the hostess was not particularly friendly; restaurant was cold (it was Feb. but it would have been nice to eat without coats); I was told I could have any side instead of fries, then was charged $2 for getting a simple salad. Prices are high, but that is happening everywhere. Portion sizes were not impressive.

I rarely write one star reviews for places because I understand things sometimes happen, and not everything may be perfect. That's fineIn this case, it was the combination of weak drinks and bad food lathered in a sauce of astonishingly awful service that makes me think West Towne Pub genuinely deserves no more than one star.The drinks were essentially homeopathic (when they eventually got there), the food clearly came from a bag (and more likely Sam's Club than Costco), and all the server wanted to do was end her shift.Then, just to complete the experience, the bathroom was apparently out of order so a prior customer's handiwork was now permanently on display there.I see no reason to ever visit this place again and would recommend you also skip it. Ames has decent pubs. This is not one of them.

I came here right after work, by myself, as it was on the way home. I was seated immediately. I also had a waiter immediately and I already knew I wanted a double cheeseburger. I found the menu didn't offer one. So I had a patty added which was no problem. I began reading reviews while I waited. I started to worry with all the bad reviews recently. Especially with complaints about dry, cold, or soggy burgers. BUT, I found my double burger to be amazing akin to a burger you'd find the same taste at a steak house. Now considering I had to add a patty I would agree the portions are a little small and fries could of been a larger portion. I would also like to see a different fry option like steak fries to compliment the flavor of burger I loved. That being said my burger tasted so good I will leave this at 4/5 stars
