We enjoy coming here and brought several of our guests from out of town and they enjoyed it too!…read moreThe last time we were here, I got the Chicken Shawarma and a side of Hinterland Cheese Curds (must order!). Our friends got the fish & chips and they loved it. The batter looked very crispy and our fries were on point. Megan served us and she was very friendly and attentive. They've made upgrades to their menu and I think that their food options are getting better each time we return. We've also tried their Som Burger which is tasty and their Birria Tacos -- good but could use a little more seasoning. Overall, we love The Som and highly recommend them!

I would have given The Som one star, but since we dined here on Valentine's Day and the restaurant…read morewas fairly packed, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that the food and service are usually better. The positives are the décor and atmosphere. Lamps softly light the tables, and there's comfortable seating suitable for parties of any size. Service was a little slow, which I attribute to how busy it was, but the staff was friendly. Unfortunately, the drinks were awful. The Long Island tasted like a premix, and the rum and Coke was watered down with too much ice. I ordered the butter chicken--it was filling but very bland. My lady ordered the birria tacos, which were extremely dry and unsatisfactory. Overall, this wasn't a good experience, and I'll be skipping this establishment the next time I'm in Burlington.

However, it was mainly chicken and onions with a few carrot slices. Unfortunately, there were no snow peas, mushrooms or water chestnuts. It had good flavor, however my rating is lower because I specifically ordered this dish for all the vegetables and was very disappointed. The crab wontons were good and filling. The spring rolls were good, but they contained sliced chicken which we were not expecting. They came with plain chopped peanuts instead of a peanut sauce which was also disappointing.

This is the most pathetic attempt at Mexican food I have ever had…read more They don't allow for any substitutions, and you can't even leave things off - - which is a red flag for OUR MEALS ARE PREPARED (AND POSSIBLY FROZEN) AHEAD OF TIME & NOT MADE FRESH TO ORDER. Just about everything is mediocre at best. I have had just about everything on the menu at least once, as I have a (crazy) family member who is obsessed with this place. Tacos, enchiladas, fajitas, rice... all mediocre. The chips aren't even warm. Yet another red flag for a horrendous Mexican restaurant - room temperature chips. Get a friggin' heat lamp and at least attempt to fool me into thinking you lazy SOB's made the chips in house! This sorry excuse for a restaurant doesn't even have margaritas. In fact, no liquor license, so no liquor of any kind at all. This garbage might impress Fort Madisonites, but as someone who has ventured beyond the town borders and had delicious Mexican food, this swill just doesn't cut it. Also - they don't accept anything other than cash. No checks or credit cards! Just what kind of business are they running... The only reason they are getting 1 star and not 0 is because 1) the system won't let me select 0 starts, and (2) their apple-filled churros are actually quite tasty
