Never had the steak sandwich at The Clipper....told Jackie to leave the bread....Matt cooked an excellent steak rivaling the taste and quality of an Outback cut of meat.
Always great food!!!
So I eased on up to the joint. Had a bowl of chicken tortilla soup and some wings to go. Tasty as usual. Clean kitchen. I appreciate a clean space. I took what I could of the wings then Nola Birds finished them off. Look at her face. If you zoom in...you can see her tounge getting to ready to make a stand on the food. Live long and prosper. BOOK'EM. BLACK BEAN.
Love this place! Staff is friendly and the food is good. Great place to visit and have a drink or two.
We went there for lunch today and had a great meal! We had the “Frips” with Cajun seasoning and cheese sauce for an appetizer. I had today’s special of Cheeseburger basket with added bacon and a side of cottage cheese. My husband had the French Dip with provolone cheese and a side of onion tanglers.
Pros:
- Food was tasty. We plan on going again!
- The added bacon was not just a strip or two, it was like a bacon square so that every bite had bacon. I highly recommend the $1.25 up charge if you love bacon (I mean, who doesn’t?!)
- I appreciated side options that weren’t just more fried food.
- They apparently have an amazing Taco Tuesday special that I’m excited to try out sometime.
Cons:
- The Cajun seasoning on the Frips, while tasty, was sometimes so thick that it came off in clumps and got everywhere.
- The poor lady was manning the bar and waitressing two rooms and patio by herself. She was excellent but it would’ve been nice if she had some help.
- (Not food related) For the men: Better hope you don’t have to go #2 (or that you’re not bashful about it!). There’s no separate stall from the urinals and no lock on the exterior bathroom door.
This is a cozy little local tavern. The food isn't fancy, but it's always good. The staff are friendly. It's a quiet, comfortable place to rest and have a drink.
Stopped in for a quick noontime bloody mary. Good n spicy! Nice homey comfortable atmosphere. Wife had a raspberry mule. Had to leave because they were going down like kool-aid.
Indian tacos on Tuesdays nights are top notch, as a big guy with a big appetite 2 alone nothing else fills me up more than enough, great portions and great price.
To the people out there complaining about the service, when you come here the wait is expected. Have you ever noticed how hard those servers are working and how fast paced it is? How about a little compassion and patience!👍
Bar in uptown Ankeny with good food. Definitely a regulars spot it appeared. Bartender was having to do it all when we were there on a Sunday afternoon and she did well considering how busy it was. Had patty melt made on marble rye and was very good. Dining companion had wings and enjoyed them as well. Nice place to drop in for a bite.
