Restaurant “Mullets” opens in Ames

Mullets is serving breakfast, lunch and dinner in Ames following the restaurant’s highly anticipated unofficial opening on Wednesday.

The 1980s-style restaurant and bar celebrate their grand opening on Friday.

Mullets is open daily from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. and is located at 4518 Mortensen Road, on the site of the former West Towne Pub.

“At Mullet’s, we’re known for our breakfast, but we also do really great lunch and dinner,” said Mullets owner John Royer in a previous interview. “You’ll have a great, fun time here.”

“People are dancing on their seats and on their feet,” he said. “It’s more of an experience than just a meal.”

A tribute to the long history of Ames

The restaurant plays music from the 80s and 90s and there is a games room in the back. The walls are covered with old photos and memorabilia. A large terrace overlooks a pond where numerous waterfowl flock.

A mural on the west wall of the dining hall is a colorful tribute to Mullets, Ames and Iowa State University, depicting iconic parts of Ames history, such as the Campanile and the Dinkey, a small railroad that used to run between campus and downtown.

Local owners look forward to the opening

Mullets Restaurant in Ames is a “dream come true” for local owners Jordan and Miranda Cook of Nevada.

“We’re going to keep breakfast and brunch the same as we’ve had before, and it’s going to be the same as Mullets in Des Moines,” Jordan Cook said in June. “We’re really excited about it and hope people love and enjoy the dinner menu as much as they do breakfast and lunch.”

For people who like to eat breakfast for dinner, most breakfast items are available on the menu throughout the day.
