R Place Pub and Pizza 1790 Giddings Street, Kelley, IA 50134

"It’s time to start kicking out the 19 year olds with fake IDs. Additionally was physically grabbed by a waitress even though I had a stamp verifying my age from this very location (I am 23). Owner is not a kind person; definitely needs to reconsider working behind a bar during high traffic."

"We refer to this as the bar in the "middle of nowhere". Nice place just south of Ames. The thick crust pizza is awesome! They have lots of unique and fun combinations. Several TV's to watch sports on as well as a large TV projector. Reasonably good prices and decent speed of service."

"I went to R Place Pub and Pizza tonight for the very first time. I was impressed. The pizza was exceptional, as was the quick service and atmosphere. What a gem of a restaurant / pub located only 4 miles from Ames. I will be back. :)"

"So disappointed! Husband, father and I were excited to check this place out! We ordered 24 boneless wings and a large pizza! The first batch of wings we got were completely raw just coated in BBQ sauce- the waitress said oh sorry about that and took from the table and brought out another order that had a bunch of tiny little pieces and said I told them to do better so hopefully these are better. That was all that was said about it. We had also added fries to the order of wings and so they took the fries back when they took the wings back the first round but never brought fries back out and still tried to charge for them. The pizza was ok. My husband would have had another beer or two but the server never offered to refill or even a water. We were hoping to find a new go to spot close but unfortunately due to the horrible service, and the raw chicken that was made to be no issue we won’t be returning. so sad because it seems to be a fun environment."

"The name draws you here, the food keeps you coming back. R Place is off the beaten path (I-35) but not too far. I would gladly make the trip for their excellent pizzas. The onion rings stand out from a lineup of great appetizers. R place isn't fancy, just a "good-eats" watering hole at the intersection of two IA country roads. I'll be back."
