Olde Main Brewing Company

The food is wonderful and the staff is very friendly. They have a wonderful atmosphere and the food is priced what you would expect for a nice sit-down resteraunt. ($10-$20). In addition to making their own root beer, they brew their own beer as well. It is wonderful! I live in the area and go there as often as I can!

If you're a connaiseur of fine dining, you'll enjoy Olde Main.

If you're a connaiseur of great brews, you probably won't.

Olde Main has a great atmosphere and fantastic service. Every time we go there we have a good experience. The food is fantastic but pricy by Ames standards. You will normaly spend $10-20 for a good meal. I highly recommend the chicken tortellini with pesto bacon cream sauce. This is very good. The food is awesome and they have a full bar drink menu. They also recently began serving a fantastic Sunday brunch. I highly recommend it from that standpoint.

However, the beer-drinker in me has not been very impressed with the brews to this point. Given, they are a fairly new restaurant and probably haven't had enough time to consistently brew their beers the same every time. I do recommend the sampler because they do have individual beers that are really good. Try their root beer as well... it's quite nice.

Overall, Olde Main is a good experience that will probably bring return customers. I like it overall.

Great Atmosphere for Dinner for Two: If you are like me and you like to play it safe. You stick to things you know you will like then you will spend $6.95 on a hamburger with a choice of fries, soup or salad. They do not offer a huge menu and most foods are pretty pricey. $10-$20. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is very nice for a evening out without the kids. If you are big on Root Beer they brew there own and it is very good.
