The Sports Page — Restaurant in Ankeny

First time visiting tonight.

Looking at the menu, the food was pretty much your standard fare. Burgers/Chicken wraps/salads and appetizers (such as onion rings/fried pickles etc). The beer selection seemed small, but they did have a couple local brews on tap, which is always a plus. I ended up ordering a red chili wrap and fries.

The wrap was good, fries were subpar but the portion size was just right.

The price was good as well, paid 30 bucks for a family of three, and that included two drinks and a beer.

Service was also good. It was probably a slow night for the place, but our waitress was quick and helpful.

I always forget about this place and I really shouldn’t. Ate here tonight and the food was fantastic. My wife ordered the nachos and it was a huge plate with plenty of toppings.

The filet was definitely hand breaded. Fries were also fresh. Was it top of the line gourmet? No. But for a sports bar it was completely satisfying.

Here's the deal: we went here on a whim, seeing as to how we normally drive by this place, and don't think much of it. Walking in, we were greeted by two friendly hostesses. They took us to the table, and THATS where the magic happened. Yeah, the food was great. But the service... Brandon was our server. He is great. So funny! Very professional. It was like he was our best friend. He suggested their cheese balls, so we got those. He was right! He suggested the turkey melt, my girl got that, and fell in love! So if you're asking if you should come here... YES! And be sure to ask for Brandon as your server. I promise you...
