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: Bubba is a Des Moines staple for a reason. In a city with a lot of great food, they consistently stay at the top of the list by not cutting corners on service or ingredients.
The Feel-Good Factor: After dealing with some service “fails” elsewhere today, Bubba was a breath of fresh air. It’s proof that great management and a passionate staff make all the difference.
Five stars across the board! Great food, amazing service, and a total “must-visit” for anyone in the area. I’ll be back the next time I need a little Southern comfort in my life.

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 more seasoning would have made it really good. The exception is the Cajun Chicken & Sausage Gumbo was excellent! The roux was savory and on point – rich, velvety and layered with flavor. And the Mac & Cheese Bite appetizer was cheesy and lightly fried to perfection with jalapeno cheese sauce.
A good place to enjoy a relaxing place with good service and food.

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!

A bit loud because the place is packed. I can understand why. Great menu. Hard to choose. I chose Leather and Tobacco as a drink to honor my father. I settled on the fried green tomatoes to start even though i came for the frog legs. Delicious. Cajun pasta really hit the spot. Ordered the Hummingbird Cake. It was my oldest daughter’s choice. I also opted for the Coca Cola cake to go in honor of my youngest daughter. Thank you Kieon for 5 star service. I can’t wait to try this place again. LOVE the vibe. #youshouldbehere

I was in the area on a business trip and ended up coming back multiple times to try something new off the menu! Everything I ate was fantastic. The fried chicken was by far the best I’ve ever had and the sides were top notch! The chicken pot pie was also amazing! Super flavorful and a little soupy, which was nice for a cooler evening sitting on the patio. But my absolute favorite thing was the Coke & Peanuts drink! It’s my new favorite drink and I don’t think anything I’ll have in the future will come close. Cannot recommend enough and will find any excuse to come back to the city so I can eat there again!

We arrived at opening time, for a weekday lunch. We ordered the fried green tomatoes, frog legs for appetizers, & the mac&cheese (a sharable dish, for sure! So rich & filling!!) with shrimp & bacon, & chicken fried steak for our entrees. We shared a peanut butter chocolate pie for dessert. Our waitress was very kind & professional. Our food was well presented & HOT when it arrived at the table. Veggie garnished were fresh & crisp. A delightful meal, celebrating a wonderful day.

Came here for my birthday lunch on a Saturday afternoon visiting Des Moines. There wasn’t many other tables taken at that time so it was quiet and laid back. I love shrimp and grits. Between that being on the menu and the great reviews, I decided on Bubba’s. I really liked the ambiance and vibe upon entering.
Our waiter, Jordan, was fantastic. Very attentive, considerate and nice. I wish we had Jordan every time we went out somewhere.
The shrimp and grits were fantastic. The onions, green/red peppers really added nice flavor to the dish. It was very filling and tasty. I was offered a free dessert for my birthday and Jordan even brought out a candle, which made it more special. Highly recommend going here!

Chicken is just fine. It’s just warm when it’s served, absolutely not acceptable for fried chicken. No surprise in seasoning, just salt and pepper. The collard was so salty and unappealing that it looks and taste more like herb medicine than a bowl of soup. The biscuit was chewy, cold, dry and bland. It was obviously reheated and over reheated, and had waited until it was brought to me. And more importantly, I thought it was complimentary and not until I checked out I realized I was charged for this sad dish, with no pair of honey, sugar or butter. And what’s even worse, it was charged as an appetizer, which should have 2 more muffins I never received. I would rather go to Popeyes because at least everything is served right after it’s ready.
