breakfast/brunch buffet Ames

[cyclone87]

I am wanting to eat at a breakfast or brunch buffet in Ames Sunday morning. I have had Valentino's brunch buffet before and am looking to find another one in the area to try out. I know the Iowa Stater has a breakfast buffet, but I've seen mixed reviews on it. Are there any others in Ames that I haven't heard of?

For god's sake don't do the one at Hy-Vee! We went this past Sunday and it was not great.

I'm actually looking to take my girlfriend's parents out for brunch one of these weekends too and would appreciate any suggestions around the Des Moines metro area.

Do they actually do a buffet though? From their site it looks like it's just al la carte.

Olde Main does a brunch buffet on Sundays.

I haven't been there for a year and a half or so, but the last time I went I thought it was pretty decent. Can't think of a better place for Sunday brunch in Ames; your options are kind of limited.

Sounds bad.

HyVee's breakfast buffet, especially for the price, is excellent.

I heard Americana has a killer brunch. I've never been, though.

Unless you have gone recently, I think they changed and only do the menu options now. I could be wrong.

Crash a campus dining center? I'm pretty sure my memory is an over exaggeration but I remember them being awesome back in the day.

Anyone tried the Iowa Stater's breakfast buffet?

The old Cyclone kicker, Ty Stewart hopes all you folks make Valentinos your favorite place for brunch. Ty just happens to own and operate the joint.

Yes, he does. I like Ty, just not a huge Valentions fan.

I heard the same. Granite City has one. I would rate it just okay. Machine Shed is great, but they their sausage and biscuits is really sausage and dinner rolls. Just not the same.

It used to be a great brunch but the food and selection had really gone downhill. Haven't been back in at least a year.
When it first opened the Sunday brunch was phenomenal.

Almost every Sunday morning after Iowa State football games. It's fine. Not the best thing I've ever had, but good for the price. They have made to order omelets, regular breakfast stuff, and lots of pastries. I'd recommend it. The food is hot and fresh which is nice.

The Gateway does an excellent Easter brunch that we've had several years too.
