Happened upon this place on a recent search. We met the parents here for breakfast. It's conveniently located just off High Trestle Trail so it'd be a good place to stop at the beginning or end of a day's excursions. The space was beautiful, the service was impeccable, and the food was incredible! I tried Mom's Biscuits & Gravy and it tasted like pure comfort! The real gold star goes to the dish I ordered, though. The Salmon Benedict with pickled onions added. Holy moly! My mouth is watering just thinking of it! What a perfect amalgamation of flavors! Seriously...I kind of already want to go back, and I don't typically repeat restaurants. SO GOOD!!! I know you're thinking that eggs benedict is the same everywhere and you can add whatever toppings but not everyone has good execution. The one I got was PERFECTION.

Trailside Tap is a must-visit in Ankeny! The back patio is amazing. The Berry Summer Salad and Three Pepper Burger were packed with flavor and just the right size. And do yourself a favor—order the Mulberry Mule. You won’t regret it!

Went there but realized their prices were higher than the menus we had seen others post. The food was fine, but I’m not sure good enough to be that pricey. And the Brussels sprouts were a bit burned rather than charred. The mules and beers seemed to be more reasonably priced, so if that’s what you want, I’m sure it’s good. And they charge extra to use a credit card as well as starting tips at 20%.

We arrived on a Friday evening and it was only a 20 min wait to be seated on the patio. Food was AMAZING! Started with the brussel sprouts which were unique and delicious. The wonton strips added the perfect crunchy texture. Signature burgers, salads, and fries were all amazing too. The salad was more of an upscale salad that had the perfect flavor. Fries were piping hot and oh so crunchy. Drinks were delicious as well. Service was a little slow (35+ min wait for entrees, 15+ min wait for drinks), but they were really busy, so totally understandable! Everyone we had an encounter with was very friendly! We will definitely be back to try something new!
