Customer Reviews
After a whirlwind day, Bubba was exactly the soul-soothing experience I needed. If you’re looking for a spot that perfectly balances high-end flavor with that genuine Southern hospitality, this is it. Amazing Service: From the moment we walked in, the service was top-tier. It’s the kind of attentive, warm hospitality that makes you feel like a regular even on your first visit. The Food: Absolutely great. Whether you're there for the fried chicken, the pimento cheese, or their famous biscuits, the kitchen clearly knows what they’re doing. Everything was seasoned to perfection and served with a smile. The Atmosphere: It has that beautiful "Southern Belle" charm mixed with a modern vibe. It’s the perfect place for a celebratory dinner or just a really high-quality night out. Consistency: Bu
Overall, really good. Started with the crab cakes and frog legs for appetizers. The frog legs were definitely the better of the two, just not a fan of putting too much extra in crab cakes. Then we had the buttermilk chicken, half a bird, with their hot sauce. Really good and for the price, a ton of food. The red beans and rice and mashed potatoes were both great. My wife had the blackened catfish which was light, fluffy, and seasoned perfectly. For desert, the hummingbird pie. Good, but the pineapple was definitely canned which was a disappointment. Service was great, had no issues there!
First time visiting Bubba and it did not disappoint! From the best bloody Mary I have had to an amazing shrimp and grits experience. Prices were also very reasonable for a classy, delicious brunch.
In town to visit with family, our last night in town we selected Bubba's. This was the first time for all of us to eat at this restaurant. This restaurant strikes the perfect balance between sophistication and comfort. With its upscale aesthetic and warm, down-home atmosphere, it feels both refined and welcoming. The space spans two floors: the first features a cozy mix of bar seating and a handful of tables, while the second floor opens up to the main dining area, complete with long wall booths and a variety of table arrangements that invite relaxed gatherings and intimate meals alike. Our server was wonderful, checking the table often to refill drink orders between the appetizer and main meals. She also was helpful with dish options to match tastebud interests. The food was okay, a bit m
My mom and I had to take a last minute trip to Des Moines and I chose Bubba as our dining spot for the evening because she LOVES southern food. We shared the deviled eggs and a small Bubba salad - both were delicious. I particularly liked the softer corn bread croutons in the salad. For entrées, she got the fried chicken and I got the Dr. Pepper Ham and, wow, they were both better than we even could have imagined. I had a cocktail with four roses bourbon and ginger (something about a porch...can't remember the name) which was both boozy and refreshing. Highly recommend Bubba!
