This place was pretty great! The size of the place is the first thing you’ll notice. There’s a reason for that. Once you walk inside, you could spend a long time looking at all the decorations on the wall. The food was great. We had a great server and all employees we saw, looked like they had the same friendly demeanor.

Large restaurant and wait times were quick even though it was a fairly busy night. Service was friendly and food was servwd fast. We had the 1/4 chicken, 6oz sausage, and ribs. The chicken was pretty good. The ribs were slightly warm at best when served but did have a good smoky flavor. The ribs were a bit dry, so that was disappointing. The 6oz sausage was a nice sized portion and the taste was ok. I thoyght that both the baked beans and mashed potatoes were average. The french fries were surprisingly good. Nice atmosphere and all the staff were very friendly. Overall not a bad place for bbq.

This place is great! The portion sizes are very large, and the menu is absolutely huge! They have an ice cream menu as well, with 20-30 options! I really liked the ambiance, the restaurant is housed in a renovated train station and it’s really neat looking! There is often a wait here, especially on the weekends, so come early or be prepared to wait. Loved it, will return.

This was our first time here visiting from Minnesota. Restaurant was amazing. Very little wait. Service was excellent and waiter was fantastic and extremely attentive. Food was overall good. Except for my meal. I ordered the BBQ Meal with 4 bone ribs with potato salad and a side salad. The side salad came with very little dressing, the potato salad was fantastic. The pork, beef and chicken and ribs were cool, but not cold nor were they hot like they were just cooked. Other than the lukewarm temperatures of the food, it was delicious. Would definitely recommend the restaurant and would come back, however I’m not sure if I’d order the same meal again after a first impression, especially one that cost $30

I have been coming here my whole life! The food is great, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere is welcoming fun and very midwestern. Be prepared for a huge meal as the portions are big – save room for dessert!!!

10/10 don’t recommend.. meat was awful, bland and tough.. the only thing good about the whole meal was the roll and the Texas toast.. fair pricing & waitstaff wasn’t horrible, definitely won’t come back though!

Destination eating. I took a road trip to a nearby town to pick up a piece of equipment. I was told of a few places in Ames to stop at for food. Hickory Park was highest on the list, so we stopped by. Me with 3 kids in tow, 5, 10 & 15 years old.
