Mullets Restaurant Des Moines — Restaurant in Des Moines

Well I'm a very picky eater. And I was completely disappointed, but by the presentation in the what my food was lacking. Service was absolutely amazing. They were so busy that we had to get our food to carry out even though we still put our name on the reservation list. By the time our food came out, our reservation was called. So we got to-go food at a table. I was extremely excited. The avocado toast that we got was extremely soggy and just thrown in the box and a complete disaster. There was stuff everywhere and none of it was where it needed to be. It was just poorly put together. It tasted great but was soggy. That I don't blame really too much of the fact that putting avocado and toast in a to-go box. I can expect you it to get soggy. That's not the restaurant's fault. I got the macaroni and cheese brisket pizza. When you hear macaroni and cheese pizza with brisket. You expect it to be a macaroni and cheese pizza. Not the macaroni and cheese being a topping like you throw a few pieces of sausage on it. I had at least three pieces of pizza that didn't even have a noodle on it and the rest of them had in between three and six noodles underneath of the cheese. I was absolutely disappointed, so the owner came and talked to me. But I was too upset to even accept the excuses he had. Excuses are still excuses and if a customer is not satisfied you should automatically remake it to their expectations of what the men you stated they were getting. He did offer me but I was too upset to accept anything at this time. He said that they were weighed out and portioned. Don't tell me you're going to give me a cheese pizza with a little brisket and macaroni. It's called a macaroni and cheese pizza with brisket. It was really good sauce and everything. But there was no macaroni on it barely at all and it ruined my meal. When I order something I expect to get it as it says on the menu. The staff wasn't bad and the food tasted great. It was just poorly presented and put together. And the macaroni and cheese was very skimped out on the pizza. It should have been named cheese pizza with brisket and a dash of macaroni noodles here and there pizza. Anyways if I would have waited an ate inside the food probably would have came out amazing. And I do understand that they were extremely busy. I would definitely still recommend this place and I would eat there again. That is why I'm giving them four out of five stars. I don't think that they deserve a lower rating because I got soggy avocado toast and little to none macaroni on my macaroni and cheese pizza. And I hope the next time that I return to it it's a lot better food presentation. For that being said mullets is extremely good and I just happen to be there at one of their busiest times and they were going through new staff members and just lost a few of their good kitchen members. I'll be back and when I do I'm hoping for a...

I have waited a few weeks to write this review hoping I could think of something more positive to say, but I can't. I was so excited to try Mullets due to all I had read about it. Maybe my expectations were too high, because boy, was I disappointed! The best thing I can say about it was the restroom was clean (which earned the two stars)! The food and drink were mediocre at best. The worst part was the service. Our waitress was not friendly, and borderline rude. We went at 3 pm on a Saturday, (purposely as we knew they often are busy and there is a wait so thought this would be a good time) and they close at 4. I assume she was anxious to be done for the day, but still not ok to act like she did. (And before I go any further, I worked waiting tables, as a bus, and a dishwasher in restaurants from the time I was 14 until I was 20, so I know what it's like and how you should treat customers.) I have a physical disability so was hoping for a booth, but we soon as we entered we were motioned to a high table right near the door. I did not ask to move because I didn't dare--she honestly was in that bad of a mood. She did not smile or talk in a friendly manner to us at all, at any point in time. I had the Orange Fizz to drink and was told as she set it on our table that just so I knew, they were now out of Tangueray Sevilla Orange so I couldn't order any more. I was pretty sure she meant there wasn't any in the one I was served--the drink tasted like watered-down Tang. I ordered the Morning Mullet to eat. Nothing special or great about it for the $10.25 price tag. The gravy was so thin and tasteless that I didn't even take home what I couldn't eat, (and I don't EVER leave food behind at a restaurant!). Another just FYI, I left a beyond generous tip, just hoping it was a bad day there. I'm glad others love it so much and have had great experiences at Mullets, because I did not and will not be going back. I am thinking this is the first negative review I have ever left on Google and I sincerely hope it's...

Im a Iowan that no longer lives in midwest. I havent been to Mullets since 2018 and boy do I miss it! Ive only been for dinner so it was a nice change up to be able to come for brunch on a Sunday. I will say they get packed for brunch of course everyone wants to come here because its awesome. Its also good to mention trying to find parking spot is terrible. So maybe try to come earlier than noon not sure if that would matter but they also dont take reservstions. I do think they should expand for another parking lot and get something worked out for that. Mullets is popular in the summer because its near bike trails you have people stopping for brews and food. Their set up outside is super cute they have games you can play (if your lucky) while your waiting. They do have a booth where you can get drinks while your waiting to be called for your table. You can sit and chill in spots like benches, and patio chairs. Youll be catching up with friends so I promise its worth the wait! I ordered the pinapple ale and bloody mary flight and it was a really good choice. We shared the regular nachos which were not bad but they were just alright. Some of our cheese was burnt! I ordered the breakfast burito it was really good but couldnt finish it because it was so big so I had left overs for the nexy day. My friend court had the morning mullet and she really liked that. My friend callie had the Denver she also enjoyed that but it came with a lot of food and she couldnt finish it. I dont think you can go wrong with anything on the menu. Im hungry for Mullets just by writing this review! Cant wait to go back and I should make it a tradition for...
