Bubba

Southern restaurant (US) · Des Moines

@eater

"Shrimp and grits, fried chicken and waffles, biscuits, and pimento mac and cheese — you’d probably picture devouring these Southern delights in an elbows-on-the-table spot. At Bubba, managing partner Chris Diebel uses the dishes to pay homage to his Southern roots, but does so in a date night-worthy atmosphere beneath sparkly chandeliers. The restaurant also boasts one of the largest bourbon lists in the corn-loving state. Don’t end your meal without the hummingbird cake or whiskey pecan pie — or both." - Karla Walsh
