Starbucks

Everyone in the area looks forward to this place reopening every spring (they close for the winter). They do serve good food, and good ice cream treats, I just wish it wasn’t so small (the building and parking) and that it wasn’t all kids with attitudes working there. Yes I realize they are relatives and friends of relatives, but honestly, sometimes I would get frustrated when my order took forever or was wrong. I know a couple of the Starbucks personally, and they are really nice folks, and they run a very popular establishment, but they could improve upon it by hiring some better counter and kitchen staff when they aren’t there to run it. Again, it’s great food and great summer time treats, but the employee and wait time and order correctness issues that cause me to only give them 3 stars. Altogether though, I recommend them.

I don’t care what they sell; I’ll order it, because I love that they are here and represent a good small business. Yay for Starbucks Nevada, IA.

Good food with an average price. I recommend the Jumbo Beef Burger with everything. Very good ice cream. This small town «mom and pop» Ice cream shop is a nice place to visit.

No coffee served here. This is your grandfather’s Starbuck’s! This fast food diner was founded by the Starbuck family some six decades ago, although the «new» owner has only owned it the past three decades.
Locals come here for the jumbo beefburger, a massive maid-​rite style ground beef sandwich normally served with ketchup, mustard, onion and pickle. Starbuck’s is also known for their ice cream. Craving a butterscotch shake? This is the spot. Good food all around. The tenderloin. The onion rings…
You order and pay at the window. You’ll be given a number and they’ll deliver the food to your table. Likely in a brown paper bag. The décor is spartan, a bit of a dive, a comment made with the most complimentary of intentions. Just a 10 – 15 minute drive from Ames on Lincoln Way.

Love this place & really the only reason to ever come to Nevada.
I always get the double cheeseburger w/​cheese balls & a banana shake. My kids love their chicken strips. My wife really enjoys their bacon cheeseburger.
Best ice cream in the area.

The loose meat sandwich was good. Great unique items for kids all over the menu (pizza loin, supreme tots, etc.) The service was great and prices are very reasonable. 3 adults ate a full lunch for $ 23.

The beef burger is the best sandwich ever. Everyone in the family loves this place and a must stop every time we are in the area.

Okay if u like pre-​made greasy food. Nothing special. It would be great if they would branch out of the «normal «fast food.

If you are looking to sample the pinnacle of the Iowa oddity known as a «loose-​meat», «beef burger», or «tavern» sandwich come to Starbucks Fast Food in Nevada, Iowa.
Iowa lays claim to a very unusual form of a hamburger where the ground beef is served «loose» without being formed in to patties. It’s the equivalent of a sloppy joe, without the sauce and it’s scooped between buns and dressed in the traditional manner.
To my knowledge you’ll find no other as satisfying for the price than here at Starbucks. I’ve tried them at the big loose meat chain and at many mom and pop places, but this is the best in flavor and proportion.
It’s a very large sandwich, and they have the best seasoned beef that I have found in this style of sandwich in their jumbo beef burgers. Their beef burger really takes top billing here. They have a wide selection of ice-​cream treats and deep fried goodies as well. They excel at their niche operation. This is not a fancy place. It’s simple in concept and décor.
Near perfection, with the exception that they are only open seasonally (I believe March — October) and they do not take debit or credit cards.

This place is AWESOME!!! We would go here in elementary, Junior High and High School. After our track meets at Nevada we would go over to Starbucks to get a Cyclone (Blizzard). They have the best pork tenderloins and great maid rites. If I remember correctly they have great pizza burgers too. If you’re in central Iowa and looking for some good food at a hole-​in-​the-​wall place Starbucks is your place. Four of us got two pork tenderloin’s (they’re huge so my mom and I shared), one maid rite, one order of cheese balls and one order of chicken gizzards for $ 21. After we ate we went back for some dessert and I think my small Cyclone was like $ 2. Great food!
