Ames
Right on Lincoln Way, steps from Iowa State's campus. Order at the counter and you'll have your food before you know it.
Campus Energy, Real Food
We're on Lincoln Way at the edge of Iowa State's campus — the stretch students, faculty, and locals use every day. Close to Jack Trice Stadium and fast enough to fit between classes.
Worth the Stop
The owner is usually here, and that shows. Service is quick — one regular noted their order was ready before they finished filling their drink. Order the spicy tenders. Seriously.

Fingers, Fries, Texas Toast
Golden, crispy, and made fresh every day. Pick your sauce — or get all eight.
Eight House-Made Sauces
Coop Sauce is the one everyone talks about. But the hot honey, Fox Sauce, and jalapeño ranch have their fans too.
The Coop Sandwich
Chicken fingers stacked between two slices of Texas toast. Add bacon and melted cheese if you're serious about it.
The Full Spread
One Thing, Done Right
The Coop started with a simple idea: hand-breaded chicken fingers, a tight menu, and no shortcuts. That idea turned into a Midwest staple.
