Feedback
This restaurant offers a mix of positive and negative reviews. The food is generally well-received with standout dishes like the tea leaf salad, onion fritters, and Kentucky Hot Brown. However, there are some inconsistencies in dishes such as the Burmese style beef and goat stew and the Moh Hin Ga. The service is also a mixed bag, with some customers receiving perfect service while others felt rushed and unwelcome. Despite some issues, the southern menu is praised for its authenticity and high quality. Overall, this restaurant seems to have potential but may need to work on improving consistency and service quality to attract repeat customers.
Lovely food and fairly fast. Service is adequate but you're there for the food. Tea leaf salad was a hit as were the onion fritters. Fish curry was very light on curry but still worth ordering
My colleagues and I had reservations at 12 noon and was seated promptly. Since Burmese restaurant are rear in the area, we were really looking forward to this experience. While we weren't in a hurry, the restaurant was. Drinks were ordered and they pushed to have a food order at the same time. We choose to wait to order the food until the drinks were brought to us. We ordered the Burmese style beef and goat stew as well as the Moh Hin Ga (Fish Noodle Soup). While the sauces of the meat stews were nice, it wasn't spectacular! The stew meats were definitely not tender. If you enjoy tough meat, then these dishes are for you. Additionally, the Moh Hin Ga was lacking in flavor and in my colleagues words: "would not order it again". Also, soft drinks and iced tea and refilled complimentary. Given the rush and the below average experience, will not be going back. Given there their great Yelp ratings, there seems to be a lot of patrons that like it. Maybe we just attended them on a bad day or the normal Chef was not present that day...
We enjoyed our meal here very much. We had a variety of dishes, and everything was delicious. Even though we all requested different spiciness levels, everything came out exactly as requested. The service was exceptional. We were able to have a conversation without being interrupted, but we never had to wait for service and our water glasses were never empty. We will be going back, and recommending this restaurant to our friends.
Overall a good experience. Most favorite part of the meal was the mashed potato and brussel sprouts! The fries were good but a little salty so I couldn’t finish. The seafood grits dish is very tasty, just wished it came out hotter
What an amazing restaurant! It’s a beautiful place for a date night but also accommodates larger groups, making Bubba a great choice for everyone. I sat at the bar and appreciated the attentive service from the two bartenders who, even when busy later in the evening, made sure to attend to everyone’s needs. The crab cake salad was delicious and generously portioned, and the apple pie was bursting with cinnamon flavor. I definitely plan to return to Bubba the next time I’m in Des Moines.
