    Nugs with Ranch
    Michael M.

    Its as local as a cow chip throwing contest at the state fair and as satisfying as the sweet release of built up anal pressure when her finally drop her off back at her house 5 hours later. It's as Des Moines as it comes and its built for you and everything your Iowa corn fed body, stock or aftermarket, wants. The carvings are real and you, just like me, will succumb to the weakness that just the though of it instills into your brain. It may not be as exciting as hot tub bong rips with Kim Reynolds and a couple of the local, surgically enhanced professional girls, catering to your every need but its damn delicious. Sometimes local is what is needed and who says that local isn't up to the same standards as better known fare. I've had them all and by all, I mean all that are "said" to be the epitome of burgers. In and Out, Shake Shack, Whataburger, Five Guys and while they each are pretty good, I'd put our very own B-bops ahead of each of them. You can trust me on this because of my very refined palette. Anthony Bourdains favorite guilty pleasure of burgerdom was In and Out and that's only because he never tried B-bops. Is it the best burger in Iowa? Of course not but it is the best fast food burger in Iowa and every other state I've ever eaten a fast food burger in. It's not sexy food and the whole 50's vibe I find nauseating but hey, that's what the 2 drive thru's are for. I'm sure some of you don't mind the whole American Graffiti thing at all and that's cool. I don't judge, except when I'm paid to, like when I judged that "who has the hottest grandma" contest in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Talk about smoke on the water. There was fire alright, it just wasn't in the sky. You know its going to be good when the brown bag you are handed has grease spots on it. They used to use white bags with their logo on it. I appreciate, I prefer the brown bags. It just seems less corporate, more real. So what makes B-bops so good. Freshness, beginning with the bun. I have never had a bun that was anything other than soft and fluffy. Granted, the bun is just the vehicle to hold and transport all that goodness to your longing pie hole...or is it. The bun can make or break an otherwise outstanding burger, just like a bad crust can destroy a good pizza. B-bops buns are soft, fluffy, lightly toasted vessels that hold within them and deliciously juicy beef patty, perfectly charbroiled, covered in melted cheese and your choice of ketchup, mustard, mayo, lettuce, tomato, onion and pickle. This burger stands on its own with none of those just as well as it stands with all of them. My current incarnation is a single cheese with no veggies except lettuce. Next week it will probably be something completely different. And guess what it doesn't matter to them because they will prepare it however you wish. If you get fries, add some dipping sauce like ranch or cheese. I normally go ranch. Occasionally, if the mood strikes like it did this evening, I'll add a 6 piece nuggets because they too are damn delicious and I'd bet that they are made with actual chicken. B-bops is to the Des Moines fast food burger scene what 23 carat gold leaf is to our capital. It just has to be.

    The #8 burger, with some French fries!

    I've always have heard that B-Bop's food was really good, so I finally got around to trying the Altoona one back in December 2020 & it was really good! https://youtu.be/XH2XWQ9zf8Q

    Good fries and ranch dressing

    See all

    A good classic old school burgers and fries, the double drive through is kinda neat. Price isn't too bad either if I recall correctly.

    Fun place to eat. Food is always hot and fresh. In addition, the drive-up has great service, too.

    PSA: Yuengling and Yuengling Flight on tap!!! Bonus surprise…read moreof the night. I was in the mood for a burger so we decided to try Burger Shed. We have been there before with friends for drinks and enjoyed the restaurant and good service so decided to check out their burgers. We were in around 5:15 on a Saturday night and immediately seated in a large booth. Our server was friendly and attentive and efficient (checked in briefly 3 times and let us say if we needed anything) all throughout the meal. The burger menu isn't super extensive but satisfying to all palettes- a classic/simple/just the basics, to specialty (see picture). I did sample the means for other offerings and there were many diverse offerings. Apps and dessert tempting but all I was craving was a good burger. I wasn't sure about Mac and cheese on my burger but it was a nice addition. I took some off the burger and enjoyed as an extra side/ it was creamy and mildly flavor so as to add more texture than actual flavor to the burgers. I should mention I had not eaten all day as normally I could never eat two burgers, however they were more thin than thick and tasted perfect on what tasted almost like a steamed (and soft) bun. I enjoyed the signature pickles on the side and added a little signature bacon jam to the burger which was a nice flair of flavor. My husband's burger was the perfect mix of cheese and mushrooms and flavor. Nothing special about the Tots or fries except a generous amount of both and their presentation in a mini fry basket. We waited about 10-15 minutes for our food but between water and drinks served it was a quick wait, especially for a Saturday night. This is a pleasant restaurant whether eating in a quiet booth or for watching bets while eating. Lots of options for couples or larger groups. There isn't much parking close to the restaurant but we found spaces at the hotel right next to it. Worth the drive. Craving satisfied.

    Great food as usual for a late dinner stop. Exceptional service tonight from Emily…read more Looking for great burger options, the Shed is a place to stop. Great cheese curds, too!
