Mary Go Round Lounge — Restaurant in Iowa

I have been frequenting this place for years . I love all the bartenders/ servers. The ones who are not so friendly are let go pretty fast. The owner has a good way of feeling people out quickly. There has never been a time where I’ve felt unwelcome. Kim and Nicole are often here and if there’s any issues or they even sense a customer is unhappy they go above and beyond to ensure your visit is great.

This place is amazing - not to long ago I had a few to many drinks and left a wallet with cash! I called a few days later and the owner had placed it in a safe spot for me to pick up WITH ALL THE MONEY INSIDE ! This is the place you can safely drink and not be taken advantage of . You can often find the owner in there working her tail off. Some of the most friendly personable staff in town !

The food is great! I always get the daily special when I’m in but the wings are amazing. I recommend this place for wings on a weekly basis.

Pricing is reasonable and you meet some of the greatest people here. One of my top 5 favorite places to stop in to...

Went for lunch, just looking for places we'd never been before.

PROs: The food here was excellent. I got the sausage sandwich and my wife got the steak sandwich. Mine was just a little spicy from the Grazianos, as expected. The fries were also good, just the right amount of cooked (not limp or burnt, but crispy).

The service was good, prices were nice, and the food didn't take too long to cook, either.

CONs: The atmosphere here is definitely that of a dive bar. There are signs about social distancing, but the server/bartender wasn't wearing mask.

Overall, I'd definitely recommend this place for a good lunch, though you should wear a mask if you're health conscious during...

Cracking little place this, a real hidden gem in Ankeny. Myself and my fiancé stopped in purely by chance to grab some food and a couple of drinks and fell in love with the place. The staff are attentive and really friendly, the food was really good and most importantly the beer was perfect in a frozen glass. Has a real charm to the place that I think alot of bigger drinking establishments lack. As an Englishman, I'm no stranger to the "local pub" and this just has those vibes in spades. Just feels like you should know everyone by name and feels like you should of been drinking here forever. A really charming place that I'll definitely be coming back to when I...
