Best WLM Reviews
Had a good lunch in the patio area. The sun was out and it was lovely on the patio.
Elk burger was yummy and I really enjoyed the portobello mushroom sandwich. The sweet potato fries were delicious and the marshmallow dip was a new twist. Sadly the onion rings were greasy and the batter was not fresh/good.
I went all-in on the menu: a burger, sweet potato waffles, coleslaw and a large vanilla milkshake.
I was very full at the end. The burger was delicious. The service was excellent on our table of 8. We sat outside, under the roof, on the fresh air.
We could see the local people and area. It was excellent.
The beef patties and chicken are seasoned perfectly, making for a great burger or grilled chicken sandwich. The sloppy waffle fries were great as a side topped with cheese sauce and bacon bits. I got a chocolate peanut butter shake with cookie dough and it was happily devoured before receiving my meal. Everything is a la carte. Highly recommend coming here for great quality food and friendly service.
New to the area and stopped in for a burger and ice cream… mainly ice cream. The food was delicious and the ice cream even better. Service was great. We will be making this a regular stop.
Right on the Monon Trail so you can exercise those burgers and ice cream treats off if you wish! Bubs is famous for the Big Ugly burger - which is a full one-pound burger. I was not up for that and chose the Settle For Less Ugly burger at a quarter pound. You have your choice of beef or Elk burgers. I chose Elk and found it leaner than beef with a very similar flavor. It was delicious- smash burger style with a buttered toasted bun, lettuce, tomatoes, onions,pickles and mayo (on the side). We also ordered a side of waffle fries, and they were cooked crispy, which is how I prefer them. I do not enjoy soggy, wimpy fries. As it was my friends birthday, we ordered a chocolate milk shake and a scoop of mint chocolate ice cream. High quality and delicious. Our server Tobias was very good, responsive and helpful. We enjoyed sitting out on the terrace and watching the world go by on the Monon.
Parking can be difficult in this part of downtown Carmel, so it is a bonus that Bubs has its own dedicated parking lot.
Bub's has good burgers. Thicker and meatier than most burgers. Buns are substantial to uphold the burger and toppings. Eating area is all outside/open area. Sits right on the walkway/bike path. Great for people watching.
Me and my family went there a few weeks back. The food was great and the service was great as well. We went on a Saturday evening so it was pretty busy, but our server made sure we were taken care of. Also, they are very kid friendly at Bub’s. They gave my children bags with crayons and snacks to eat while we waited to order. Overall, I would most definitely go back. Do keep in mind their food is a little pricier, but I would pay it all over again. It was worth it.
If a restaurant is struggling to provide clean and fresh food, then the restaurant should just admit they are struggling.
I would recommend to expect a 20-30 minute wait plus an uncomfortable waiting arrangement outside. I am not sure who started the trend, but people sat and stood around the restaurant. Due to that, I would also recommend to avoid outside tables near the people watching and listening to your dining experience.
The reasons I am giving this place a 2/5 star review was their water and lemons. I was given a water with hair under the ice. The waiter did have a quick and apologetic reaction as the hair was neither of ours.
Also, container of lemons had spoiled or dehydrated lemons as if someone put them outside for hours under the hot heat.
Despite all of that, the elk meat and regular hamburger meat was spectacular. The sweet potato fries and regular fries were perfect. I have no suggestions for their meat and fries.
However, the toppings could’ve been better. There should be more quantity or variety of topping options. The meal was too simple for the total price at the end.
