This place serves up what it advertises, great breakfast and lunch dishes. My husband had Bloody Mary and he said it was decent. He ate the grinder with onion rings and it was a big hit. I had the avocado toast and loved it. The waitress kept the ice tea refreshed. read more

Wow. A must stop if you are in Des Moines. The ribs were moist and big. The Mac and Cheese was rich and creamy. The Cobb salad was huge. Enough for two people. You have got to try the sweet potatoes and the marshmallow duping sauce. Amazing. read more

Mullets - Salmon hash brown. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Des Moines, Iowa

Great local place! Great ambiance, service and food!! Potions are big but they don't ascribe to quantity over quality. Coffee is hot and stays hot!! Everyone gets a different mug! So cool!! Hash browns are delicious...crispy on the outside. Amazed at the prices...very inexpensive! Breakfast for three and two coffees with tax came to about $30!! Next time visiting daughter here will return. Would recommend Mullets...oh and they have a full menu so it's not just a breakfast place. read more

I love this restaurant! Their tenderloins are amazing! I would recommend them to anyone I know!

Mullets is always fun. I met my friends, that were out biking for brunch. They have tons of space for bike parking. The wait was about 45 min for brunch, totally understandable for a beautiful Sunday morning. Once we were seated the service was great even with the restaurant being packed. Our waitress was great. Our drinks were refilled continually through the meal. Our food came out fast. The prices were definitely reasonable. read more

This is one of our favorite brunch spots. The staff is impeccable & we use to hop around & try new brunch spots but once we had Mullets we were hooked - the malimosa spoke to my soul - the food is comfort style & will leave you in a blissful state - cannot go off enough about how amazing the staff is. super personable & regardless of when you come in you're treated incredibly. THE WAIT IS WORTH IT. read more

I have been to Mullets quite a few times. They always have a friendly and bustling atmosphere with a variety of clientele. There is always a special on something either food or drink if you ask. And sometimes they have live music. While I've never been here when they had live music, I've heard good things. I have never had issues with the food here or the drinks either. Generally I go for the catfish po boy and a long island. They never let me down. I used to get the frogs legs until recently they were no longer on the menu, that made me sad. But I haven't been there in a few months and maybe they will be back next time I stop out. Definitely recommend this place for great fried fish especially cat fish or blue gill. read more

Love love love everything about this place! Go for the atmosphere and beer . Stay for the French Fry Flight and go back for the Cajun meatloaf Breakfast! 100 read more

Came here the night before st. Patrick's day. They had live music during the day and free shuttle to and from the parade. We have been here a few times, the food is always 8/10 and the service is 7/10. This particular day the waitress misheard my girlfriend and we received pickle chips instead of fish and chips. We were looking strangely at her plate of food and the waitress noticed immediately there was a problem. She put a new order in immediately and remedied the situation, we received the correct food in 10 min. Very pleased with our servers ambition to fix the misunderstanding. Will be returning for the good food. read more

Though the food and drinks are always great....we experienced our 35 minute wait turn into a 2+ hour wait.

I would need to try some other items on the menu, but all I can do right now is rate them as average. Food was good, service was lacking and atmosphere is ok. If I am ever in the area I will try something other than the BBQ (not impressed). read more

The environment makes this place. It's located right on the bike path, right by the Icubs park, and the river. It's a little dark, a little old fashioned, and just right. The staff are friendly and quick with a joke. I love that the waitress made it a point to interact with our kids also. Try to find your favorite 90s mullet on the wall! Standard bar/pub/diner food. read more

It was kind of shady walking in but I can honestly say it's the absolute BEST breakfast place I have ever been to. Service was fast and great, and food was phenomenal! I will definitely be back! read more

Love this place! Friendly, helpful staff greeting us at the door; willingness to smile, accommodate requests, and they always seem able to fit us into their busy restaurant - at the bar or dining rooms - no problem! The food is a better version of bar-type food - very creative versions of common dishes, big portions, reasonable prices. I also like their very eclectic mix of staff too! read more

Never been here before. There service we had was excellent! There were 6 of us and food/drinks came out quickly. Only drawback was my avocado toast dish. Eggs were not done. Egg whites were not fully cooked, total bummer. Didn't get a chance to say anything since server didn't come back till everyone was done and ready to bail. Will be back again anyway. Loved this place regardless of the eggs :) read more

Went to Des Moines in early August for a day trip and stopped in here for lunch. Had to sit outside since there was no space at the bar. Wouldn't have been an issue, except it was very hot that day and the umbrella didn't provide much shade. Decided to try their breaded pork tenderloin, which is basically a schnitzel sandwich. I thought it was very good and better to eat with a knife and fork since it was much bigger than the bun. Based on the food and my server who was very friendly, I would say this place is slightly better than average. read more

Valeria is the most professional and friendly host I've ever experienced at a restaurant or bar. She is so smart and talented. I expect she'll be running Mullets in the near future. And, the breakfast pizza at Mullets is the bomb-diggiTy. And the bar tenders are such hard workers and super professional. read more

We loved our server Alisha this morning! She was a bright spot to our day. I could tell she was the best server working the breakfast shift. She was very busy but always cheerful. Now, the food. Delicious!! My husband had the chorizo hash browns and those came with scrambled eggs & English muffin/toast. He was mmmmmm'ing over every bite. I chose the "morning mullet" which is half order biscuits and gravy, hash browns, and eggs. The hash browns were the best part, cooked perfectly crispy. The gravy was pretty darn tasty, if not the best gravy I've ever had, it hit the spot. Go here early if you're going for Saturday morning breakfast, because it fills up quickly. We will be back for breakfast, lunch, drinks, whatever. I noticed they have all you can eat boneless wings and $2 draws on Monday nights. read more

"Meh" food. I have had the chicken and waffles a few times now. I only got this as it was the only way to get waffles any time of the day - I really was looking for breakfast food....which you can get, but options are unfortunately very limited. The waffles are mediocre at best - no flavor. Also, waitresses have been a hit or miss, and same with service. The first time my waitress was awesome and service was quick, the second time my waitress was not very happy to start with. On top of that, I sat for 10 minutes before my drink order was taken. Then it took another 5 to get my drink. This second experience was on a Friday afternoon at 5. It was somewhat busy but not packed by any means. Won't be back. read more

First of all, let me say that I have not seen so many mullets in one place EVER! Ok the decor is HIGHlarious! Lol. What can I say? My burger and fries were delicious- totally yummy in fact. My Moscow Mule(s) were fabu and the overall experience was really good. Obviously a very dedicated and regular bunch of patrons and I happened to be there on trivia night-which was real much fun too- and a great reason to "have another"! I really appreciated that it was festive not rowdy, though it was very VERY festive. Lol. Great food! Great place! Highly recommended. My only negative, if you can call it that, is that full it can feel cramped! All those mullets are worth it! read more

I was really impressed by Mullets! We were in town for a concert and wanted a great place for brunch. With help from Yelp, we ended up here and I am so glad that we did! I love that you have the option to eat on the roof. Being able to sit up there and enjoy the view was a great start to the day. Its right on the bike trail so there were a lot of bikers that parked and came in. I thought that was really cool. The food was great. I loved my French Toast. It was so big that I had to take half of it home. Our waitress was really nice and the wait to get in went by pretty quick. If I am back in town around brunch, I know where I am going back to! read more

Have been seeing this pop up on Yelp a few times now when In Des Moines staying and figured we needed to try it. Wow is all that can be said. Food and service was excellent. Would recommend mullets to anybody looking for some good breakfast food and drinks. Will be coming back more often. Joining waitlist on Yelp is a great help. read more

Good breakfast place. I had the breakfast meatloaf...Yes. You heard right. Breakfast meatloaf. It was layered on a thin, corn pancake and covered with two eggs and cheese. Oh man. Service was great and the coffee was above average. I would recommend turning down the volume on the music as it was at a Saturday night Party volume at 8AM. read more

This is an awesome place for breakfast and the food is great! Service also was really good. Good beer selection and I ate this waffle breakfast sandwich! There was a small line but that is due to this being a bomb place. read more

Now that the weather is getting better, Mullets is always a fun place to roll over to on your bike! Right off the bike path this is a great beer and food stop! They have lots of options for better then average bar food, including quite a few good things for Vegans or Veggie friendly bike riders.. They have a great burrito, great veggie burger, and there salads are huge! I must admit I do like the fries, and onion rings as well! One of my favorite things about this place is how much outdoor seating they have! They have a rooftop deck and also, picnic tables outside, perfect for stopping and chilling in the sun after and I-Cubs game or a pit stop on an afternoon bike ride! The service is always pretty good as well! The inside of Mullet's does not have a ton of character and the bathroom's sometimes are pretty smelly but what it lacks in coolness I can forgive because the food is good, the people are great, and the outdoor seating rules! read more

Another spot in Des Moines I've been waiting to try since I've moved here! Came here with a group of coworkers last week during lunch and had a great time! Located right next to the Scott St Bridge, the view of Downtown Des Moines and the river is very nice! They were not busy during the lunch hour so we were serviced quick and without issues. We started off with Beef Brisket Nachos to share and I had the Cajun PoBoy which contained fried shrimp and crawfish! The nachos were very flavorful and came hot, it was a good sized portion. The Cajun PoBoy was fantastic! They packed everything onto this sandwich and it was a challenge just to close it up and handle it! I got fries with the PoBoy and they were very good as well. The atmosphere is very casual and the theme is mullets (the fish and the hairstyle), I thought this was very clever. I always wanted to try their breakfast menu which looks very appetizing. Perhaps next time I will make it there for breakfast! read more

Went here with a friend right after a big rain so sitting outside wasn't a great option. That said, we sat inside by a window and were promptly waited on and got our drink order in and delivered right away. Drinks were fine - I got a margarita that was OK, but nothing remarkable, and my dining partner got a tall gin and tonic that was good. We put in our food order and it was delivered very quickly. I got the half rack of ribs and they were very tender and pretty tasty. They have BBQ sauce - one choice - which was fine. The ribs had a good taste and the sides were good - I had fries and pasta salad - high marks for the fries, and the pasta salad was decent. My dining partner had the 2 meat combo with burnt ends and pork, and comes with two sides. He enjoyed the BBQ items as well. Overall service was very good and attentive, the food was reasonably priced and pretty good, and sitting inside was fine, but the outside areas are the place to be weather permitting. read more

Just had lunch elsewhere but when we drove by Mullets I had to stop for a drink. A pub dedicated to the hairstyle that is "business in front and party in the back." Had a margie and a beer, very satisfied. Saw a great pizza go by. The man next to me had a great looking fish fry. Loved the ambiance, many photos and homage to the mullet. Oh and the Cubbies are on the TV. read more
