Spicy Chicken Penne tastes okay (chicken is pretty soft and easy to chew), bread sticks have strong butter flavor. However, in the end my friend found chicken in his salad is not cooked all the way. 50% of whole chicken bite is pink. This made us worried those “easy to chew” chicken wasn’t being cooked neither. Other than this, a salad we ordered does not have onions, almonds (Didn’t know until I went up to counter to report raw chicken issue)

Allow me to start by saying Zach is a finely tuned cog in a well oiled machine. The breadsticks were sublime; a beautiful marriage of garlic and butter. The Chicken Parm Pasta Duo was a deal that was too good to pass up, and did not disappoint. We received prompt service and fresh food, a commendable feat in the pasta game. I would venture to say our Fazoli’s experience was transcendent, one that would truly make Eugene proud. We look forward to dining in on our next journey through Ames.

I ordered loaded fettuccine and a small pop. Their pop machine was broken with no carbonation. The grilled chicken tasted like bad chicken jerky. Bread sticks was crunchy, not soft like it used to be. The Alfredo sauce was runny, and little flavor. Before I left, I asked for a refund for the soda I didn’t get to drink. The manager that was there on Tuesday night September 21st gave me cash for$1.50. I didn’t look up the actual cost for their show pop until I was half way back to my city an hour and a half away that it cost $2.29. I know that’s a small amount, but it was the service from a manager, and her don’t want to deal with it attitude I’m putting on here. She was not apologetic towards the situation, made it feel like it was my fault for pointing it out that the sofa didn’t have carbonation. I didn’t take my receipt, I just never needed to take my receipt before.

Poor experience. Can’t even rate it a 1. They struggled with our order. We had 2 meals and a kids meal. We waited 15 min to get our food and it was cold. The family that was right ahead of us waited almost an hour to get their food and then it wasn’t right. The manager walked out. Poor management. I watched about 15-20 cars pull out of line in the drive thru. Will not return to this location.

Have had good luck here in the past but on this day we sat and ate, and looked around and every single table that wasn’t occupied (which was alot) still had plates and garbage from previous guests. We got a kick out of watching people come in and looking for a seat. Then when we got our food some of it was not very warm. I will go back again because we’ve always had good luck here but was not impressed this time

The food was excellent and very fast. By the time we filled our pop glass and sat down they were already there with our food. Everything was hot and tasted great. Service was excellent from the start. No complaints here!

Terrible service! Tried to go to this restaurant at 9:40 pm but they said they were closed. I asked what time they closed and the “manager” said 10pm but that they were slow, so decided to close early.

Yesterday my wife and I stopped at the Ames Fazoli for lunch. It was my wife’s first experience with Fazoli’s and it was an absolute hit. The food was delicious. We had Spaghetti and Fettuccini Alfredo and their delicious bread sticks. The food was only the beginning the staff was gracious and helpful and rewarded us with an excellent dining experience. The staff and manager are to be commended !
