THE IOWA TAPROOM REVIEWS
By far 1 of the BEST beer bars I've been to! The service was spectacular, and so was the food! The honey Sriracha dip for the steak egg rolls was the perfect amount of heat and very well balanced! My salmon salad - fantastic! And those wings were really good also! Beer selection - wow! 120 beers on tap. This place was huge! There are no booths from what I saw from where we were sitting, but they had plenty of seating when we went at 4pm on a Fri afternoon. Can't wait to go back and try more of the menu and beers! Samples of beer are free! They have 4 or 5 beer flights you can choose from, or build your own. Starting price is $14. If you're not into beer or cider, there's also liquors for mixed drinks.
Nice selection of beer, tasty and generous portions of food, and friendly staff. All the beers I tried were good, and my mom (who doesn't like beer) enjoyed her cider. The food paired well with the drinks. The sandwich could have used a little more flavor, thankfully they had hot sauce. Looking forward to trying a different flight the next time I visit.
Put our name in and they texted when we put table was ready. Wait was long on a Saturday night so we got a drink at peace tree while we waited. Food was good and that dessert was even better!!

BUBBA REVIEWS
Had the most amazing time at Bubba and have been here once before but this visit warranted a review. Our server Mercedes went ABOVE AND BEYOND during our meal. My family and I had the fried chicken (dark meat), Mac & cheese, collard greens, green beans, Brussels sprouts, mashed potatoes, blackened catfish and it was absolutely divine. The drinks are SO GOOD but I have to say Mercedes gets a second shout out because she was GIVING lessons on customer service. She left NO CRUMBS (both figuratively and literally). Thank you for the most wonderful time!
Wonderful! Every dish we had was fabulous. We started with amazing hush puppies, so crunchy on the outside soft and tasty on the inside. Everything from the Cajun noodles, Jambalaya, Crispy Succatash to the pecan pie and hummingbird cake was fantastic!
I am eating this food right now as I type I just couldn’t help it. This food is SO good I’m eating fried chicken, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese and salad. You guys this food is so good 10/10 recommend.

AMERICANA REVIEWS
My husband and I enjoyed brunch at Americana last weekend. We were blown away by the variety of food choices. Mashed potato bar, mac and cheese bar, bloody mary bar and mimosa bar, every breakfast food you can think of, Mexican dishes, salad bar and deserts. Our favorite item on the brunch buffet was the warm cinnamon sugar donut holes with carmel drizzle. We'd come back to have those alone. I encourage making a reservation and if you have mobility issues, I'd make sure to request a table on the first floor. It can be awkward walking up the stairs with a plate of food while others are walking down.
Great downtown restuarant for your quick business lunch or weekend brunch! Great food and great cocktails. Happy hour specials are usually pretty good as well! Really, you can't go wrong stopping in at any time.
Great birthday cake! The chicken with parmesan cream sauce was delicious. The ribeye was a tough cut of meat. I wouldn’t order the steak again.
