Provisions Lot F

My date and I had a great dinner. We started with the bread which was perfect- crusty on the outside with warm soft bread on the inside. I had the meatballs, just a tad spicy (but I don't normally do any spice so maybe it wouldn't be noticeable for someone else). My date had the grilled salmon on black broiche. No complaints from him. As a side note, their iced tea was awesome! Our server was great as well. Can't wait to go back and try other dishes.

We have eaten at Provisions many times pre-pandemic and have loved the entire experience. During the pandemic, we have picked up breakfast a few times and the food is just as great as it would be in the restaurant. The best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. Highly recommend the brunch during the weekends. Their chicken and waffles are hard to beat. Get it to go or stop in! Our favorite place to eat in Ames!

If you’re even thinking about dining here, please do. Libations were incredibly well curated, food was exceptional in presentation and taste. Service and overall atmosphere were unparalleled. Coming from someone who has worked in the service industry for over a decade, I don’t see a single aspect where the mark was missed. Very well executed!

Great atmosphere and excellent food. We came here for breakfast. My wife is on a gluten free diet so she ordered an omelet and was very happy with it. I had the brisket hash and was really impressed. There was a lot of fresh flavor mixed with the BBQ of the brisket. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend Provisions Lot F as a well kept secret in Ames! People are a little too generous with 5 stars so I usually only give 4 stars unless the experience is above and beyond. Provisions met all of my expectations of a good restaurant so to encourage excellence I only gave 4 stars. Don't let that discourage you though, Provisions Lot F is well worth a visit!

Short story: Best Chicken and Waffles I’ve ever had and I’d consider myself a worldly eater. Long story: Has an amazing selection of bakery and deli items. Sourdough bread is phenomenal. Biscuits and gravy is fabulous. All of the cakes are delectable (I’ve almost worked my way through all of them). The old bay potatoes are beautifully crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. I didn’t think there could be anything special about potatoes until I tried these. I love the strange and interesting beverage selection they have as well. Moved to Ames at the beginning of covid lockdown. I had my eye on Provisions for awhile. Last month I finally saw it was open for carry out and have since been FIVE times. I guess this is my love letter to Provisions Lot F. P.S. I saw some people dining in a few days ago so they might have their dining room back in action. Great indoor seating if it is open again.
