Unexpected gem in north Ames: an unpretentious hipster cafe with excellent vegan and gluten free options, plus delicious coffee and homemade syrups. I'd given up on ever eating crepes again until I found Lockwood, and now their sweet and savory crepes are a staple. Also love the chill atmosphere and myriad plants. Definitely worth the visit. Both dine in and take out are great options.

The Ames Culver's is great - they got our large, customized orders ALL correct and the food was exactly as preferred! Hot food was fresh, hot; cold food was cold, great portions, perfect add-ons and condiments. Good job Culver's! (This isn't always our experience and we visit Culver's in many states, regularly, mostly because of gluten free bun options.) Keep up the good work.

We visited the Ames location for the first time for a birthday and it was delicious! The service was prompt and attentive. Great selection of mocktails. Loved that it is quiet and you can easily carry on a conversation with others--even in a large group. Lots of gluten free options if you need those!
