Clyde's Gastro Diner — Restaurant in Ames

Terrible service one of the lady making the drinks was rude and condescending. I asked for no ice in my drink ( I don’t like ice in my drink) and they gave me a half filled cup. RIDICULOUS. When I asked a worker why my drink was half empty this lady jumped in and started saying in a really loud voice “ this is what you paid for , I can’t just fill it up because you didn’t pay for the rest of it” I asked for no ice so i understand it not being filled up all the way but for my drink to be half empty is unacceptable.

Iowa State wanted to offer a dining center with more healthy options, so they re-did Clyde's and it was a huge mistake. Clyde's was attractive because it had history, sports, TVs, a small crowd, and quick meals. Now it feels like a sanitized, grab and go, ghost town convenience store. The place is clean and empty. The food options are offered on depressing racks and should instead be offered at C-store next door. I think Iowa State uttered a collective sigh when this new Clyde's opened. The older generation reminisces about the good times we had at this establishment and the glory that was, while the younger generation doesn't understand the history behind these white...
