Couple reopens historic roadside cafe in Story County RONNA FAABORG, Ames Tribune FacebookTwitterEmail COLO, Iowa (AP) — COVID-19 closed Niland’s Cafe in August, but the historic Colo diner is reopening under the new management of Danny and Abi Wilson, longtime Colo residents. The Wilsons are starting with a smaller menu full of homemade items, including tenderloins made using their own recipe. “We’re so excited. It took longer than expected to get open because of Covid,” Danny Wilson said. “The menu is going to be kind of limited at first. I just want to make sure that we do good food — good quality from scratch — and then add on.
