The hostess was super friendly, waitress did perfectly, food was great and prices are certainly reasonable. I didn't get names, but I was there on the 26th between 1 and 2.Tell them thanks!

Food was great and reasonably priced to say the least. Our waitress did a fantastic job and the hostess was extremely friendly. I didn't remember their names, but we were there from 1 to 2 on 03/26. Maybe all the staff is as friendly, but I hope you can pass on an extra compliment. It's hard to find.

It seemed that we got sat in the "employees" break room for breakfast, although we did go there closer to lunch.Love the food and looking forward to dining there again. Hoping not to be sat in the employees break room next time.

In from out of state and came for breakfast on a Saturday morning. It’s not busy. The host said good morning to us in passing as she grabbed menus and walked away. We hung back unsure if she was taking us to a table. Another server said we could follow that host who walked away. She looked back at us as if we should have know. Then put our menus on a table and walked away. The entire restaurant was open and we were sat next to a table with a large family and a baby. The mom sat turned around the majority of the time. The baby was tossing things from the table our way. Plenty of places to sit and we were sat here. I don’t understand. I ordered over medium eggs and said I do not like them slimy. My husband ordered hard eggs. Mine came super runny and slimy and my husbands came the same. He had to send his back. I just didn’t eat mine. The bacon was extra crispy and my husbands toast was all but burnt. Over all we are not pleased.

I love ankeny diner! From the moment you walk through the doors, you are taken back in time. The food has always been good. It's kind of a hidden gem, hard to find at first, but once you find it, you will love it!

Fun diner with a good menu. You can have breakfast, a beer and a milk shake all at the same time.
