First time trying out Bubba's. We ordered:…read more Southern bread basket comes with butter and jam Coffee with cream and sugar Smoke chicken salad Crab cake Benedict with hash browns.

It was super filling and the egg was just cooked perfectly. We would come again!

A Southern-style restaurant with Southern-inspired food…read more We started with the fried green tomatoes and my only recommendation would be to use cornmeal to make it a true Southern taste. All I could taste was the breading which seemed like a very bland option to showcase the tomatoes. I had the red beans and rice and my Husband had mac & cheese, Brussels sprouts, and an open-faced sandwich. He wished the sauce they used on the sandwich had been a little less so he could've enjoyed what was underneath all of it. For dessert, we had a Coca-Cola cake. It was moist and served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Chicken and catfish came out hot, crispy, and full of flavor. That first bite hits--seasoning on point, crunch where it needs to be, and not greasy. Definitely the stars of the plate. Mac and cheese was smooth, creamy, and cheesy. Solid, but if you're used to that baked, crust-on-top style, it's missing that extra layer. Cornbread did the job, but a little on the dry side. Could use more moisture to really balance everything out. Overall: good food, good portions, and solid flavors. Not perfect, but definitely a spot worth running back for--especially if you're craving fried chicken or catfish done right. Service was quick and easy.

A gentleman asked what I ordered, checked with the kitchen and notified me of their progress. Location was cute inside -- parking can be found in the back. I ordered the attieke platter and palava sauce with fufu. I loved the sauce they gave with the platters (it's like a savory spicy sauce, not very spicy though). The attieke platter came with WAY too much attiéké, needs more of the other items to help balance it out (attieke was similar to couscous). The palace sauce dish was flavorful and tasty. Looking forward to trying their other dishes.

We had been to the restaurant when it was in Merle Hay Mall, but hadn't managed to get to the new…read morelocation until today. That was just darn silly of us, taking all this time. I ordered their Italian Beef. They asked me all the right questions. What kind of giardiniera did I want, mild or spicy? Wet or dry? I went with mild and wet. This was the best beef I have had outside of Chicago ... no contest. The gravy is wonderful. The beef is cooked perfectly, and has obviously been living in that gravy all day. The giardiniera added that nice bit of texture. I may try a bit of the spicy next time. The bun it was served on kept it's structural integrity even after being soaked in the gravy. The fries have that chewiness that good fries should have. I forgot to ask if they blanched them first, but it seems to me that is likely. If you want a great Chicago style Italian Beef, and I am not talking that chain restaurant style, a beef that you expect to get in a little walkup place actually in Chicago, this is the place to go. It was marvelous. I am going to go with my wife's comments on her meal. I will say that I had a taste of the Oxtail and it was luscious! ------------------ The oxtail. in one word: decadent. If you're from the south, you understand that you have to start with good bones. Oh they did. And then they seasoned things just enough to let the bones SING. And they do. A chorus of umami, tendernism, and soul warming goodness. This was a religious experience. A joy for all the senses. The sweet potatoes were lovely. Not too sweet, spiced just right. The Mac and cheese was delicious. And the service was impeccable. You can tell the owner loves people. ------------------ Both of us loved this place. It's wonderful

The vibe of the location is very comfortable and the music selection is incredible. Every time I am there, I'm taken to a place in time that was wonderful. I got the catfish sandwich with fries and then got a six piece wings to-go. Both were perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned, crisp on the outside-while tender and juicy on the inside. The fries were also seasoned well. They were incredibly filling and plentiful. The service is great. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming and they all work really hard to turn out a consistently high-level of food and ambiance. I am thankful for this. Against my waistline goals, I will be coming here for several times a month. LOL! Miss Christie, you are amazing!

I thought it was just okay, but she really enjoyed it, so that's what matters! Overall, we always enjoy coming here, and it remains at the top of our list when we're looking for a good breakfast spot around town.

We always like to try a unique place to eat if we can find one as we are traveling. Since we were…read morealready planning an evening meal in Omaha at the end of the day it made sense to start out with a breakfast in Des Moines. based on reviews in Yelp we chose Mullets. Mostly because it sounded really cool to see the pictures of mullets that decorate the restaurant. I didn't think of the fish called a mullet, but they have creatively used both the Fish and the hairstyle to create a fun logo. I loved the poster of all of the presidents of the United States wearing mullets that was in the entry vestibule. My husband had the Burt Ends Benedict. It was delicious, with generous sized chunks of meat in BBQ sauce under the poached eggs and hollandaise sauce. I had the Country Fried Steak breakfast with hash browns and hard scrambled eggs. Everything on my plate was perfect and delicious. The gravy was outstanding! Probably the best restaurant gravy I've ever had. On my next visit I'm planning to order the same thing, but I'll request gravy on the eggs and potatoes as well. We shared an order of cinnamon roll pancakes. They were delicious, and super sweet. Overall, the staff was friendly and efficient and we will definitely be back.

Flight delayed decides to have lunch before heading to airport and remember this place. It was busy at 12 noon. Just about everybody was ordering the cheeseburger plate. Serves with onions and pickles w/ crinkle cut fries. No seasoning but a solid burger. Not huge not tiny. Pour on the ketchup and starring munching! Service was quick and friendly. Definitely has a locals, bowling league kind of vibe. Christmas lights strung from the ceiling. Tons of photos on the walls and a Photo Booth in the corner. Several TVs and dim lighting rounds out the atmosphere. Cool lil hole on the wall to grab a drink. No frills kinda spot. 2 cheeseburger baskets + 2 kids meals = $30. Fine by me!

Jennifer waited on me and was a joy to speak to and offered great recommendations on the whole menu (bottom line, sounds like you can't go wrong). The 'bee dust' is a nice twist on adding honey to your chicken, it's a dehydrated honey/pepper combo that adds a great flare. Unfortunately, I'm not in Des Moines as much I'd like to be, but next time I'm here I'll be waiting at the door before they open! 2 thumbs up, 5 stars, oh yeah!!

We arrived with a group of three for lunch on a Wednesday. It was not busy, maybe 1/8 of the table…read moreoccupied. Tables and restaurant was clean. Service was friendly and fine overall. Everything just seemed to take longer than necessary. We stood at the front maybe 10 minutes before anyone came to seat us and food took even longer, around 25 minutes (figuring out our order maybe took ten). I parked the meter for an hour and had to go refill. I ordered the Grilled Harvest Chicken. There is a creamy tomato pasta used to coat the chicken breasts. The cuts were good overall. This dish also includes two sides. I got the fried okra and goat cheese grits. Fried okra was good, around thirty percent breading that makes a nice savory balance. The grits were creamy and smooth. I think I would come again if I was looking for heavy southern. There were a lot of classic options to choose from that I could not try this time around. Though I would still be concerned with the wait involved.

I'm always looking for amazing food options! A fellow Yelper told me about Krispy Krunchy Chicken…read more And I knew I had to try it! Although a little skeptical at first, I mean, really, extra crispy chicken? But my friend was spot-on! This place has quickly become my go-to for amazing chicken. As you step inside, one side is a liquid store, and the other is where the magic happens, Krispy Krunchy Chicken. It's all about grab-and go here as the setup doesn't allow for a sit-down meal. However, it's very clean on both sides! Keeping the chicken and the cash separate, you pay for your order at the liquor store counter after ordering. The food is amazing! I've had the Whole Wings (my go to), Red Beans and Rice, Jambalaya, and Mashed Potatoes(least favorite). I'm obsessed with the wings as they have crispiness for days, lol they even stayed fresh until I got them home. I'm not a big fan of Red Beans and Rice, but Krispy Krunchy's version is very flavorful. The Jambalaya is my favorite side, it's like a Cajun party in your mouth- it's meaty, flavorful, and addictive! The Honey Butter Biscuit and the Blueberry Biscuits are the prefect pairing with the chicken! They are moist, and full of flavor. Seriously, even if chicken isn't your thing, these biscuits might change your life! If you're ever in the neighborhood or simpler craving good chicken and sides, do yourself a favor and go to Krispy Krunchy Chicken today! Let me know if you enjoy it or not!
