We tried the fried chicken dinner. The chicken was good but the sides stole the show. Pimento mac and cheese was very good as well as the mashed potatoes. Great place.

The Brussels sprouts were delicious! I ordered the Muffuletta and had to cut that beast of a sandwich with a fork and knife! Our waiter was a delight and offered a variety of suggestions! We saw a few deviled egg platters walk by our table so I guess we'll be back to sample those next time.

We decided to try bubbas for the first time heard great things .Were remodeling the house and was tired of fast food so we decided to door dash when I realized I got the wrong order I reached out to a manger and explained that I ordered the fried chicken sandwich and hat I got a open face turkey with bacon and sum kinda sauce she argued the order then explained that the button for the Kentucky round was right next to the fired chicken sandwich long story short spent 18 bucks on it and can’t eat it because I can’t eat bacon. Sad story. Collard greens were great tho but won’t be returning or recommending this one I give the manager a big 0 for good customer service.

We've eaten here 3 times and love it! The ribeye steak is especially terrific.
The lady at the front door was very sweet. I had never ordered from the place before and drove from Waukee last minute, To pick up my food and she waited and was very kind. The food was also great.Parking: There was parking all around.Kid-friendliness: Look like a family place to have breakfast, lunch, or dinner.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, the door looks wide enough and easy for wheelchairs.

This was our second time at Bubba. The first time was fine, but this second time really impressed us. The cheese board is truly don’t-miss - thin biscuits, pimento cheese, pickled veg, bacon, and Benedictine (a cucumber spread from Kentucky!). And the vegetarian/vegan option was amazing - the Chile Relleno, with a colorful succotash medley and bright and savory tomato sauce. My husband enjoyed the blackened catfish and the red beans and rice very much. Also, you can’t go wrong with the gracious Mercedes as your server on the second floor - we had her both times and she is so thoughtful and attentive! One critique: I wish they didn’t used baby carrots for the pickle on the cheese board - they have a strange aftertaste compared to “real” carrots.Vegetarian options: Chile Relleno is top notch!
The menu had creative options for a vegetarian. The service was quick and professional. The food presentation was inviting with the entree being well seasoned. The value of the meal was reasonable. The only drawback is downtown parking.Vegetarian options: Good options!
Always one of my favorite places in Des Moines. I Usually have the shrimp and grits and a good sipping whiskey from their great bar.Definitely one of the great restaurants that Des Moines has to offer.
