Book It to Ames for Brunch

Whether you’re in town for the big game against Oklahoma on Saturday or are looking for a quieter Sunday bite, Provisions Lot F is one of our favorite fall stops for comfort cuisine in Ames.

While the Cafe on the north side of town is a timeless and tempting choice, its younger sibling near the south-side ISU Research Park has even more to offer kids. On our recent Sunday visit, the Provisions burger with zinfandel onions and thyme aioli was perfectly prepared and seasoned, as were the Old Bay potatoes.

Other brunch favorites include chicken and waffles (recommended by the server), biscuits and gravy, and three-egg omelets. And on the way out, swing by the bakery case for a to-go treat.

Weekend hours are Friday and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.
