Restaurants in Council Bluffs

“Excellent food! I have tried several different things here and they have all been great! I recommend the drunken noodles! I go at least once each week. There's so many more things I can't wait to try. The price is reasonable and the service is great. Lynn Leaders- Realtor”

“This place has great food and drinks. The steaks are always perfect, and for far less than other restaurants. Chilled bowls for the excellent salads. Side dishes-especially the mashed potatoes- are amazing. They are far and away the best value for an excellent steak dinner. And the strawberry shortcake dessert is delicious. And the Jack and Cokes for $5.49....cant say enough good things about Longhorn.”

“We have been to three concerts in two weeks and everything was easy to get to and the wait was most comfortable since we had our lawn chairs. I am 87 and have two arthritic knees, so not having to stand all that time was great. Our spot for the concert was convenient for getting to the food, merch and restrooms. The traffic getting out was a little slow, but the traffic was coming from so many directions, it had to be”

“Ate at HyVee Restaurant in Council Bluffs today the Tenderloin was huge ,cheap and so good one of the best I have had. The burger was delicious $8.55 for the Tenderloin Meal , $10 for the Burger. And there’s a Bar , Service was excellent my second time around wish I would have got her name, the first cashier was rude when asked about the meal or anything else she would remark you want it yes or no ! cash or card yes or no! Management should get rid of this cashier!”

He is an asset to the Restaurant. Ask for him if you decide to dine at 360 you won't be disappointed! The food was very good. My husband had the blackened halibut and shrimp and he said was delicious! I had the Parmesan Chicken which was very good as well. We will be back!”

“Found this place while traveling to visit family. Steak was better than the steakhouse ones. Sides were amazing. They have fresh brewed flavored iced tea. Servers were friendly and very responsive to needs. Atmosphere is relaxed and the restaurant is very clean.”

“It was our first time eating here. We ate here on Sunday 6/17/24 before the Oliver Anthony concert. The place was packed & the service was slow. A slower serve time was to be expected because it was Father’s Day. The brisket was melt in your mouth. The best we have ever had. We’ve ate a lot of different BBQ places. The Mac & cheese was perfect & creamy. The cornbread was on point. The food was so amazing, that the hour & a half wait for our food didn’t seem so bad. Don’t go here if you are in a hurry. The food IS worth the wait though. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️”

“Best food in Council Bluffs!!”

“Great group of individuals. The best in the IOWA.”

“Have frequented Pizza King many times over the years and have usually had good service. Saw our server we normally have had lately and she said we were sitting in her section and she would be right back. Had a different server named Will for some reason. Right after he took our order Shelby came over and was upset. I told her it was ok. He was ok but not our Shelby. Food was very good as usual”

“Zaltes is a great place to grab a delicious sweet treat while having a great time talking to the staff! Everyone is so supportive of each other and it’s no brainer that i would support them to the end of time! They have some of the best ice cream and unique flavors you wouldn’t find anywhere else! They are always innovative about their flavors and try different ingredients that just work together! Zaltes is a great place that turns my frown into a smile. Go check out Zaltes or you’ll regret it!”

“Our first time! They were friendly and the food and margaritas were yummy! We will definitely be back!”

“Jace, close to his name. He was awesome. He provided great service. Very personable, told the manager how much we enjoyed him. We were there Wednesday afternoon. Council Bluffs location.”

“Best meal prep service I’ve tried so far. Good customer service and the ordering process is convenient. There are several different meal options. My favorite meals so far are the Chipotle chicken pasta, Chicken Quesadillas, and the Salmon mixed with rice, beans, and veggies.”

“my daughter and I went to barleys yesterday for lunch. loved that it was handicap accessible without any steps. We sat towards the back of the reatraunt and was quickly serviced by a waitress to get our drink orders and given menus. I ordered the patty melt and my daughter ordered a Canadian pizza. both were really good. the only thing we wished were different and I say we because she stole a lot of my fries lol were the fries needed seasoned with something. we had to add salt. and the patty melt sandwich could've used an added sauce like Dorothy lynch or something. it wasn't dry just needed something else to add flavor. otherwise it was really good. will definitely be back.”

What more do you need? Definitely will be back! Oh and we had the chicken tenders and house made chips and both were SO good!”

“Great customer service & great pizza!”

“Today was our 4th trip to Culvers. The meal we had was delicious. They have the softest pretzels and hot cheese I have ever had. I was really disappointed though with the raspberry malt. it looked like a chocolate malt instead of a raspberry one. I took a swallow and got a big mouth full of malt flavor. topped off with big chunks of raspberry. it might have been good if it was one of the cement drinks. I called back and told the worker what had happened, he said bring it back and we'll make a new one. Thank you for your kindness sir. I would definitely recommend Culvers to anyone”

“Tyra is the best man! Love her. I’ll come back just for her!!”

“Oh my God, this place has some of the best eggs I have ever tasted.

I had a bacon egg and cheese sandwich and the egg just split open on the first bite and the flood of yolk into my mouth was just pure pleasure.

Absolutely amazing food and equally amazing prices, I was only charged $13 for the whole meal.”

“Andrews is one of those family owned establishments that have made it a one stop shop along with a place to go to wind down or meet up with friends. But if you want the cheapest gas in town go to Andrews.”

“Fun place and decor. Really busy for lunch but order was correct, hot, and delicious. The single cheeseburger is huge, really enough to share-same with kids meals. It was the best burger I have had anywhere for years-full leaf of lettuce, slice of tomato and pickle, so good. The staff was efficient but not friendly and looked unhappy. As we left, I thanked two workers that I walked by, said it was a great lunch. They didn’t even acknowledge me.”

“One of the greatest restaurants I’ve ever been to. The foods quality is amazing, tasty, delicious and fresh. The service is always great and is always helpful, patient and caring to the customers. The atmosphere is absolutely astonishing and if I were the owner of that restaurant I couldn’t imagine what changes I could possibly make because it is already perfect and you cannot change something that is already perfect. I still remember the first time I went to this restaurant and smelled the inside; from that exact moment I knew, this restaurant was going to be one of my best experiences ever. If I had the chance to hangout with Lionel Messi I would definitely take them there and I recommend all humans to give this restaurant a try. It can change your life and the way you view things in this already beautiful world. I have been blessed by the almighty Heavenly Father to be born in a time where Olive Garden exists and I am eternally grateful for that.”

“I love this place! There's only a few places I go out to. I even had my first drink(legal drink) that Dan served back when I was in grad school house hunting. Crazy dan still serves and works here lol.but ultimately I recommend this place a thousand times over. Gracie and Dan have always been my favorite. insane customer service and bartender skills. Gracie runs this place like a pro/killer. And the food is always good. overall I'm always enthralled every time I'm there.”

“Happy 3rd Birthday Council Bluffs Raising Cane's. Best chicken fingers for the last 3 years.”

“I'm glad I decided to eat here while in Council Bluffs my server was very kind and attentive and the portions were huge, the picture I took was just one dish I ordered, chicken fried steak with pancakes & seasoned breakfast potatoes & eggs. I had leftovers. Everything was so delicious!”

“best hotdogs!!! great service everyone was friendly.”

“I was that person who shows up 15 minutes before closing and my food was hot and fresh. The employees were also friendly and didn’t make me feel bad for showing up so late. Good customer service is hard to find so I really appreciated this!”

“Casual atmosphere. The menu has great options, we chose an omelet and pancakes. The staff was very friendly and helpful and this is walking distance from the Union Pacific Train museum as well as Squirrel Jail museum (which we recommend!)”

“I came in yesterday to order food to go. In front of me there were 3 adults that were all together. I watched as this older gal just berated and cussed out the people behind the counter who were making their food. Jason, the manager stepped up after a little bit and asked these “customers” to leave. Good for him too! Staff and other guests in the establishment didn’t need to hear or deal with this ongoing ridiculousness and he handled it very well. I have been in customer service for many years and feel he deserves many accolades for handling this situation so well! Also, my food was fabulous as always. I have never had a bad meal here and the service has always been amazing!”

“insanely good food with great prices I would 10/10 recommend”

“Love glimpses from way back in the early 2000s. This is a 5 hour drive for me but I do it occasionally. They are not the friendliest and it’s a little drab. But it’s still good.”

“Great breakfast, friendly staff.”

“Didn't try the food phone atmosphere plenty of dart boards and a pool table and it has a small parking lot but overall pretty cool place and moderately priced.”

“Oskies is a bar I've visited quite a few times, particularly to watch my Chicago Bears lose to whatever team they're up against. The staff is always so friendly and inviting. and the patrons all seem to get along despite everybody cheering for different teams and simultaneously pitying the poor Bears fans. I had a few slices of a thin crust, cheese pizza and some chicken Nachos which arrived quickly. Oskies has no pool tables, nor karaoke, but darts and video poker will keep you distracted from how bad our Bears are doing. The bathroom has a ton of graffiti , which you'll notice, should you excuse yourself to the bathroom to cry in a stall about The Offensive Line of the Chicago Bears.”

“Food not served here to offer. The service was consistent and helpful. We tried this new creamy drink in a can with a peppermint taste. Was dangerously delicious 😋”

“as a retired Chef I give it 5 out of 5 stars. great food and sweet tea. I love a good sandwitch and this place beats subways outright. I had the Black Angus club really yummy. If you want great food thats light and fast and fresh eat here. Chef Terry L White.”

“Coldest beer and best karaoke in town!”

“1892 is the best sports bar and really the only place I like to watch sports other than my house. Pool table and darts and good company. Jeremy the owner is a class act and very accommodating to the patrons of the bar. I’ve hosted baby showers and birthday parties at 1892 and it’s always been a success! You like to watch soccer at 7AM in morning? Well 1892 will be open so you can cheer on your favorite team! Go Nottingham Forest!”

“I love going to this Scooters! All the girls are very friendly and they always make my day better. They will make suggests if your not sure what to get.”

“love the Amigos Food truck! only thing I wish they'd bring are their French fries 😩”

“One of my favorite council bluffs bars. Always clean service is top notch plenty of dart boards and best of all no drama always feel welcome wether it’s new people I’ve invited or just hanging out with the regulars. BEST FRIED SHRIMP in town and only $6”

“Try the caramel rolls There Excellent !”

“great drink prices, the bartenders are good there they know what they're doing. great service, they have five pool tables, a Rockin jukebox three speakers that rocks the place and one dartboard the atmosphere is very clean.”

“I love Subway. I enjoy the environment. My favorite sandwich is the turkey and honey oat bread. With lettuce, baby spinach, green peppers, anything with the color green for veggies I put on. Along with my own twist Guacamole.”

“A great, friendly place to hang out and visit with other nice people. I've been there a lot and no complaints ever.”

“I go to Hardee’s every Sunday morning, plus sometimes during the week also. Love their food. Breakfast is my favorite! When I pull up to the drive-thru, they already know that I always order a large Diet Coke with lots of ice with my food. The crew at this location is fantastic!!”

“A good place to grab a sandwich. Most of the time the service is pretty fast, unless there are a ton of online orders. The staff tends to be friendly, so overall I would say the service here is pretty good. They have a decent amount of seating and they tend to keep the place pretty clean. Not to mention it's a fairly convenient location if you're on the east end of town.”

“Great food, good drink prices, everyone is very friendly. Best thing is you don’t have to belong to the Legion to go. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“All staff is friendly the second you walk in the door. Drinks are the best I’ve tasted from a nutrition place like this, and I’ve tried several. Speedy delivery. They always take great care of me whenever I order!”

“First time here ordered garlic chicken 😋The lady at the front counter is wonderful. She is super friendly. I was by myself she talked to me the whole time while eating. I'm be back 🙃”

“However don't ask me if I want arby sauce if you are not going to give me any. Just got all the way back to work to realize they did put in my sack after they asked if I wanted any.”

“We went through the drive through. The staff was very patient in waiting for the order. They provided great service and very personable while providing our food.”

“The facility is clean and all services available. The freeway noise is unavailable and the somewhat high price justified by the need to police the facility and prevent the indigent from taking over (as seemingly may have been a problem here a year or two ago).”

“This is a great place for a party of 30 for about $8.50 a person including drinks provided you're okay with mostly single topping pizzas. They will give you 3 hours in the party room that seats at least 30 people. The tables can be arranged any way you in the party room, so if you need a open space in the middle of the room, you can have it. The last time the place's interior had a remodel was probably in the 80s, but it's probably had fresh coats of paint in the last couple years. They don't serve kelp, tofu or sushi so it might not impress your fake tan in-laws, but for regular folk it's pretty decent.

Dietary restrictions: They have gluten-free pizza crust available for an extra $3

Kid-friendliness: They have tons of quarter machines with toys and stickers.

Wheelchair accessibility: Everything is wheelchair accessible except for the party room. Men's bathroom is a little bit small, so an extra large wheelchair may not fit.”

“The food was great love how friendly the night staff is”

“I've eaten here since they opened. They are a husband, wife team. Very friendly. Always hot food. Even taken home. They give a lot of free stuff out. They are good people. Great food.”

“The staff is extremely kind. The food is great. The place is clean.

Vegetarian options: Veggie

Kid-friendliness: High chairs.”

“The food is fresh and definitely get a lot for little money. Simple atmosphere the employees are young but very professional and efficient. We ordered the bake chicken Alfredo and the beer cheese lasagna both came with bread we also had a salad not much selection but was very good. If you like simple fast clean and reasonably priced this is the place for you!”

“Darius and the crew working were very kind, personable and the kind of people you’d want to invite to your next BBQ. Thanks for all your help ordering the ham and Turkey! Happy Holidays to you all!”

“The young lady that helped me was clearly new but very attentive and my salad was made perfect. When she gets faster, it will be 5 stars!”

“Great place to eat. Very friendly”

“I always have great service. The food is hot and exactly what I expect every time I go.”

“Great family friendly environment! Awesome pizza & wings!!”
