When you get old, move out of state, and don't make it to Ames as much as you like, you will understand why I don't know what TipTop is.

From what I heard Indigo Joe's didn't fizzle out, they just got to good of an offer on that location to not sell. I do like Okoboji though, it's not a classic college place like the others mention, but good food none the less.

I didn't know that!! I never really cared for Indigo Joe's, and didn't know a ton of people who did, so I figured that it just kind of died.

I kinda liked Indigo Joes... Does the new okaboji still have the MNF $10 all you can eat and drink?

I'm not a huge burger fan, so I think that's why I was never a huge fan. The salads all had jicama, which was a little odd-tasting.

I'm not sure - I don't know if they've been there yet for MNF?? Does anyone remember when they opened??

Indigo Joes was solid. I kinda wish that was still there since I work at the hospital.

FYI to all those who don't know... Buffalo Wild Wings being built in Ankeny on Delaware.

I may be in the minority, but I think BWW is overrated and overpriced.

Are there Green Mill restaurants in Iowa? They have some great Jamaican hot wings that'll burn you on both ends.

It definitely is overpriced, but they sure do have delicious food and great wing sauces.

BWW is one of my favorite places ... but unfortunately they know they kick ***, so the prices reflect it.

You can be $40 down in there without even trying. Beers expensive, wings expensive, but its sooo good.

Um, would those be the Jamaican-Me-Crazy wings?? Good food, but some of their food names just kill me.

Nope, I've only seen Green Mill on my travels to MN and WI - usually connected to a Holiday Inn or other hotel.

I live in Ankeny... Iowa's home of crappy places to eat. I will take what I can get
