A great alternative to Scotty's Brewhouse, this burger joint is the company's first foray outside of their hometown of Carmel , IN where they have a similar restaurant in addition to a breakfast café ).

Jim Garrett

If you have a hearty appetite, this is the place. All Burger weights are AFTER cooking, so when you get a quarter pound "Not so Ugly", that's what it weighs when it gets to you. Try the Elk .

Erin Garcia

Elk Burger medium rare, bucket o beer , peanut butter milk shakes , waffle fries , onion rings , chili !

Bethanne Babbs

The burgers are not only excellent but very customizable. The staff is well-informed and very good at explaining all of the menu options.

Ron Maines

The burgers are excellent. Milkshakes are great too, BUT be prepared to wait too long to receive it. They said they were busy, but I can't think of an excuse to wait 15-minutes for a mikshake. :(

Lauren Kelly

I love getting waffle fries with a side of chili or soup to dip them in! Grilled/blackened chicken fingers are also amazing!

Chris R

Yummy elk burgers and who can say no to sweet potato waffle fries ? (With or without marshmallow sauce )

Ethan Cripps

Cyndi

Elk burger is awesome & so r the sweet potato waffle fries with marshmallow dip !

Vegheads need not despair in this carnivorous den. They have a great portobello cap sandwich . The menu says mushroom burger , but there's no dead cow on this one.

Chris Robb

Go for "The Big Ugly " challenge and get your picture on the wall. Two in one sitting gets you a larger pic. Four will get you a life-size cutout.

Stuart

The half pounder and sloppy waffles are amazing!

You can find the absolute freshest meat for burgers at Bub's...which helps them create DELICIOUS burgers !!

If you do the Big Ugly , prepare for a food coma afterwards! So good but SO MUCH MEAT!

The Sloppy Waffles are an excellent choice.

ᴡ Anderson

Great burgers and the sweet potato fries are awesome.

Maeghan O'Mara

For anyone not from Btown and you are trying to locate Bub's it's actually more like at 9th and Morton rather than 8th which is City Hall .

Chris Robb

The ice cream shop is separate from the restaurant , so no need to eat there if all you want is something cold.

Jake R.

Ask for Jenny as a waitress . Extremely nice and quick service !

Chris Robb

Play some of the trivia games they leave on the tables while you wait for your food.
