Reviews for The Som in Burlington, IA
This was our 3rd time visiting in the last 2 years. My first visit I had Nachos which were excellent. My wife and I split an... order of Bao Buns. Our meals were fantastic. 2nd visit I had a burger with bacon and blue cheese crumbles and Crums GritScorpion sauce and fries. Again fantastic. A few days ago we stopped for.our 3rd visit. We got all excited when we seen PazoleRojo on the menu. My wife and I both ordered it. Once we got it , the bowl and presentation was fantastic. Then we startedeating it. I have to say, we were both disappointed. Little to no flavor at all. AUTHENTIC Pazole which I've had many times isVERY flavorful. I will be back, but I will never order that again. That is the only reason I gave the SOM 4 stars for food. Ourservice and atmosphere has always been excellent. In fact, we have had the same server all 3 visits and we always take care ofher with a good tip. She's very courteous, knows her menu and on top of refilling drinks and getting us to go boxes. I woulddefinitely recommend the SOM to friends, but not recommend the Pazole. Read more

Amazing service, food was spot on; our upscale burgers, fries and sauce were done impeccably!
Driving through the area I ask a few different people whwre a good place to go was. They all said go to The Som. Wow, they were... right. Food was dang good. Crab Rangoon burger was unique and cooked a perfect medium rare. Side salad was put together nicely.Onion rings were large, hot, and tasted great. But just about nothing could beat the fish tacos, ???? ????. They were some ofthe best I ever has. To male it even better, free trivia night in Tuesdays. If you only have one or two nights in the area, thisis a must to go to. Plus, all of the staff was very nice amd knowledgeable. Read more

Quick Summary: Excellent food and Service. Clean and comfortable. Great atmosphere. The details: As we arrived we were greater... cheerfully and warmly. I'm disabled and often times these smaller places can be difficult to get into. Not so at The Som! Ourwaitstaff, Megan and Clayton were friendly and very attentive. The food and drinks came out quickly and the food was preparedperfectly. The drinks never stopped flowing. They were always full. I have some pictures I wish I could post. Will I eat hereagain? Absolutely! Will I recommend The Som? Yes! Thank you for a wonderful time The Som! Read more
