Premise this with the fact that there was a musician and it was packed… that said, the«famous porkchop» was good. Unfortunately the service may have been the worst I have ever experienced. 8 of us at the table, took over 20 minutes before they even took our drink orders. Then over 35 minutes to get food. Server was never at table. Ordered water twice and still didn’t get. I waited 25 minutes with an empty water glass and empty drink before server finally showed at table then another 10 minutes to get drinks. The service was so poor I would not go back or recommend.

We used Unilocal and found this place. Right away we were greeted very friendly by a young man. The waitress was quick and gave us the recommended the pork tenderloin. So that is what we both ordered. The food came out really fast. The tenderloin was HUGE. We ended up cutting 1 in half and boxing the other to take home. It was very yummy. One of the best tenderloins and shoestring onion rings I have ever had. Great place

Visiting family in Ames and drove here to experience Iowa’s #1 rated pork tenderloin sandwich. Charming, cozy and classic small town diner/coffee shop experience. Our group went for the pork tenderloin sandwich and it didn’t disappoint. Surprisingly thick cut of pork. Often tenderloin sandwiches are dry. This one wasn’t. Breading was light with great flavor and hugged tightly to the meat. And did I mention it’s huge? Served with a classic hamburger style bun, lettuce, tomato and onion. I requested a side of mayo to make mine just the way I like it. Sides of cole slaw and fries at the table all received big thumbs up. Unfortunately we were too full after our tenderloins to sample the amazing selection of pies. Service was very welcoming and friendly. I root for places like this to thrive. Give The Lucky Pig a try.

disappointed — cut the tenderloin sandwich in half and all the breading fell off. so I was stuck with a piece of pork that was ¼ inch thick. forget about the pie — the crust was not flaky and the meringue tasted like the pie came out of the freezer and left a terrible taste in my mouth!!! drove from Ankeny but won’t do that again! I swear the pies both came out of the freezer.

Have eaten here several times, and while very pub in Iowa claims to have the best tenderloin, this place could give many a run for their money! As big as your plate, but tasty and moist. All the fixings. You can select from many sides, but I recommend the cilantro rice. Save room for pie! They always have a bunch of good options. Only downside was the bit too greasy onion rings, but you can’t fault them too much for that…

Great find for small town iowa. Tenderloin lives ups to its billing. Hand pounded. Thick cut. Fresh made. Solid choice. Onion rings were thin sliced and delicious. Service was pleasant and attentive. I will definitely stop here again on my travels through the state.

My family & friends have been to The Lucky Pig twice now. We’ve had good service & great food!!! Each time we have visited we have had a group of 7 – 8. Everyone has been thrilled with the food. IF you love PORK, this is the place!!! They also have other meats(beef, chicken, fish). They have a tenderloin sandwich that is Thick &HUGE!!! SOGOOD!!! They also have a sandwich called Porky’s Revenge that is a tenderloin(same size as normal) ham, bacon, & pulled pork in bbq! I might be missing an ingredient, but its pork heaven! I’m a big eater and I can only eat half! They also have good pies! Only complaint: Both visits the restaurant was cold… very cold. The owner showed up and turned the thermostat up… but we had asked for it to be turned up when we arrived… didn’t happen. We mentioned it to owner. Will be going back!!! Keep the PIGS a coming!!!
