Wallaby's Bar and Grille Reviews | Ames Restaurants & Bars

0

While visiting Ames for the first time, my boyfriend and his family wanted to take me to all the local places to dine (since I work with restaurants and appreciate local businesses). Â I ended up dining there not once, but twice, it was that good!

Very unique, wonderful options on the menu. Â Staff that were attentive but not overly attentive. Â And all of it very reasonably priced! Â A decent selection of beer that could satisfy me, since coming from the mecca of breweries and growing up in a land of craft beers, I can be a bit picky.

Wally pie is probably one of the best guilty pleasures I could have had. Â I also loved the private TVs at each booth, it really made watching the Olympics a lot easier. Â Will definitely be back!

A longtime staple in Ames, it's a great sports bar (if you can get past all the Iowa State paraphernalia, which is still hard for this Hawkeye fan). Â The food has always been good - maybe nothing special, but always as good or better than your typical sports bar far. Â And the cheese fries? Â Yum.

Lately it seems that Wallaby's has been going downhill. Â My past few visits there have been disappointing. Â Food quality seems to have gone out the window. Â While a bad service experience is forgivable and not necessarily indicative of a restaurant as a whole, unless it happens repeatedly, a bad food experience or experiences is a whole new ballgame. Â Let's hope Wallaby's can turn it around.

This has been one of my favorite places in town since I was a student in the early 90's. Great atmosphere. The food is great. Sure there's another spot in town with a nice view, but you can't eat a view.

Wallaby's is a sports bar and I have no interest in sports or sporting events, so you would think that this is not a place I would particularly like. The Deburgo Burger here is, however, in my opinion the best hamburger in Ames. It's a large burger (about half a pound) basted with garlic and other spices, and even without any toppings other than the usual lettuce, tomato and raw onion it is incredibly flavorful. At 8 dollars and change for the burger and a side (the fries are pretty good too) it's not cheap, but it's worth it.

Deep deep cooking at its worst. Â From the deep freezer to the deep fryer! Â Oh, but it's ok since they over price it anyway. Â I will say that it's a nice place to watch a game. Â I also noticed they offer you refills on your sodas but forget to mention that they're going to charge you for it.
