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”

“Me encanta el servicio lo antento que a uno lo antiendan bien”

“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.”

“Jeff our server was excellent. Attentive very knowledgeable about the meal course. It was helpful when ordering. The food was definitely worth it. Prime rib just melts in mouth. The jumbo shrimp was so good. I tyically love truffle fries just a little too much truffle oil on the fries. If it wasn't for that I would say outstanding. Jeff made my birthday experience awesome.”

“5 stars fantastic owner.”

“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!”

“360 Steakhouse is always wonderful. Great ambiance, great food and wonderful service. We always get the seat overlooking the Omaha skyline. It is wonderful. Don't ignore the specials. They have some great special that you will enjoy. The also have some great drinks on their menu. I am a big fan of the Missouri River Water. Enjoy!”

“The food wasnt overly amazing, would've expected more out of guy fieri. It was pretty bland and lacked a lot of flavor. Got a cheese burger and fries, pretzel pull aparts, wings and pot stickers. The wing flavor on the wing was good but the chicken was bland. The best thing was the raw veggies on the side.”

“Delicious pizza, and sides, potato wedges were seasoned just right, monkey bread was also great, I also had the salad bar, everything was fresh, with a good selection.”

“Great food awesome waitress Ashl. Will miss her when I return to Des Moines Iowa”

“These reviews are wild. We had a great experience. They staff was so friendly and helpful. We had two 2 year olds and the staff was very accommodating and nice. The food was pretty good there were a couple items that could have been better like the corn was pretty over cooked and not edible and the ice cream very melty but the crab legs, orange chicken and pho were all great. Oh and the rolls were delicious! Overall had a great experience”

“Love this place, excellent food, nice family business.”

“My husband and I went to CB for a concert and I searched for a fun, cute, local place to eat. So glad I found the Porch! We had DELICIOUS food and loved the atmosphere. I love all things vintage so I especially enjoyed that each table had different salt and pepper shakers, most of which were true vintage. The plates our meals came on reminded me of dinner at my great grandma’s house.. which is a good thing!…and I noticed everyone had different plates, too. So fun! Absolutely love a good down-home feeling place. 10/10 will return!”

“this place did awesome! they did a wonderful job on my daughters birthday cake! she turned 6 & wanted a unicorn & rainbow cake & they exceeded my expectations & my daughter loved it so much!! the taste was outstanding! the cake was very moist & the frosting was so cute & tasted like heaven! i couldn’t believe how good this was! also they were able to get this done in 2 days!

“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”

“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.”

“Came into town for the Omaha Zoo and looked up places with karaoke and Kikkers popped up! Darts boards, Touchtunes (before karaoke), pool tables and cheap drinks and slot machines! 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!”

NOTE: In the dark of night, the red exterior paint is very dark. Look next to the white building or you might have to circle back.

Would recommend.”

“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.”

“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.”

“always a good time at 4th street whether it's a game of pool or darts your looking for, with a full kitchen and great bar staff to keep you socially lubricated”

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

“katie is a fantastic bartender.”

“I'm a new fan! The food was delicious! The atmosphere was just what you would hope for in this little out of the way type of place. Owners are friendly and have obvious pride in their place. Highly recommend!”

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

“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.”

Then there's Lisa the manager who is always working the floor and checking on the customers she is always friendly and helpful. Lastly our server Chasity was friendly and on top of our drinks during a rush. The communication and atmosphere tonight was excellent.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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!”

“Big Al's really came through for a grieving family when their plans for a Celebration of Life fell through at the last minute. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate them. Thanks so much.”

“What a great experience. I haven’t been to Blimpies in 20+ years- I happened to be nearby and hungry & wanted a good sandwich. Wasn’t feeling the bigger chain place across the street and decided to pull in and give this Blimpies a try. I found exactly what I was looking for. Quick, helpful, friendly staff (maybe locally owned, which is another plus) got me in and out, I left with a DELICIOUS masterpiece of a sandwich absolutely packed with fresh yummy ingredients. Do yourself a favor & Don’t miss this diamond in the rough on East Broadway in CB, they are crushing the competition. Thanks Blimpies in CB!”

“Try the caramel rolls There Excellent !”

“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”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Everyone’s food was great came out quick and Tasha was on point with service!! 10 out of 10 Highly recommend kids loved the arcade too!”

“Coldest beer and best karaoke in town!”

“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.”

“The associates are very friendly and helpful”

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

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

“Best Mexican food in CB! We went for lunch and had excellent food and great service. The asada tacos were amazing.”

“Don’t have one of these in our area, but had heard about them, so decided to try one out when we found one along our path. The place was clearly suited to make a lot of cookies. You can see clear into the back, and 90+ % of the black is for employees to have room to make and bake these sweet treats. Staff was friendly and helpful. I don’t know that id say these cookies store out agains other delicious cookies, but they were good nonetheless. And to clarify, I’m not talking about comparing them to grocery store or prepackaged cookies…. I’m talking about comparing them again other cookies of a similar style. For example, Penguin Ed’s, which is a BBQ joint in Fayetteville, makes some dang good cookies, and they are much larger than even the large size cookies here. So I wouldn’t say these have been our favorite, but certainly nothing to complain about, as they are quite a tasty cookie.”

“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).”

“Love the food! Wish there was an inside dining area.”

“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!”

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

Vegetarian options: Veggie

Kid-friendliness: High chairs.”

“The lady at the front desk has been working there and by herself for 20 years! They only pay her $10 a hour and don’t even show appreciation. She deserves to retire and get some money! I thought she owned the place! We should start a go fund me for her! Truly!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Personal butchers special - it was good, had a nice golden/brown cheese on top with a decent underbelly to hold it together.

Large cheese ravioli - it was good but not that much flavor going on and same with the marinara sauce. They had a little bit of flavor but other than that mostly just bland.

Overall everything was good. I really enjoyed the pizza and as for the appetizer I might change it up next time.”

“The girls helped me with my drink orders with no fuss! All smiles and fast service!!”

“Great place to eat. Very friendly”

“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.”

“Rich did an extremely good job . Mentioned to him on the pick up that I appreciate the quality and service . Thanks Rich”

“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”

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

“pumpkin 🎃 spice and strawberry 🍓 😋 drinks. cars 🚗 waiting line orders morning drive thu”

“Super clean store, friendly staff and quick service. Everyone working seems to enjoy their jobs and it is reflected in their customer service. This store is also ALWAYS super clean. Great place to grab lunch and friendly environment for the whole family.”

“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!!”

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

“awesome food waitresses super sweet i love eating here”
