Restaurants in Council Bluffs

“First time dining here. We had a good experience!
They have free bread for appetizers and the food came out fairly quickly. I got the mashed potato, sirloin, corn and Caesar salad. My partner got the ribeye, Mac and cheese, sprouts and a drink (as I type this I realize this was a lot lol). They ended up giving us a free dessert because they insisted the wait was longer than expected which was super nice of them. All in all the bill came to about $60.”

“As usual, Jack Binion's was spectacular! We were celebrating our 41 Anniversary so we' were seated in a booth. These booths are very comfortable and spacious! Our waiter, Matthew, was wonderful! Very friendly and attentive. He recommended items and knowledgeable. We had the filets - my husband had crabcake and I had sautéed shrimp .( which I highly recommend) that were cooked to perfection as to how we ordered! We had the garlic mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. Everything was delicious and the portions were large so we actually had too much food! Next time we will only order one side. The whole evening was great! Will continue to come back and recommend!”

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

“Best Date Night Spot in the area!! We had an unforgettable time here! Food was delicious and our view was spectacular! We wanna thank our server Christina for the great recommendations!”

“The staff is always awesome. The chicken fried steak was the worst food I’ve eaten in years. No idea what the deal is just burnt, over cooked , and 0 seasoning . How do you mess up fried chicken? Anyway the girls out front are always awesome. Breakfast this morning was great the dinner was horrible”

“Amazing owners!! Highly recommend!”

“Great tacos! Definitely a wonderful food truck!”

“Kristin is so great to work with. Her communication was on point every time I contacted her and she also reached out to me several times to ensure everything was in place for my order. The cake we ordered was perfect and tasted delicious! I highly recommend Kristin for any occasion!”

“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!”

“I hit Hard Luck everytime I am in Council Bluffs for the weekend.”

“Amazing Food, so flavorful. Don't let the mix match ingredients scare you, everything works so well together. ???

? Smoked Shotgun Shells - Crazy Bold Amazing flavor - Manicotti Pasta Shells wrapped in Bacon sausage, cheese topped with Bourbon Brown-Sugar BBQ sauce

? Pulled Pork Tacos - so many great floavors coming together (try the "ranch" with it to die for garlic aioli)

? Philly Cheese-Steak Egg Rolls - so flavorful

? Buffalo & Hot Honey Garlic Wings?

Service was OUTSTANDING. Bridget so wonderful to have as our server, definitely Top 10 servers ever and we've eaten all over the US from dives to lots of fine dining. Highly recommend asking for her ?”

“The food was delicious and you get quite a bit for the price. This restaurant is low cost and delicious. The parking lot is small but otherwise it is an excellent place to go for affordable food.”

“We came here for lunch while checking out this Harrah's (we are from AZ). The reviews looked great, and we were not disappointed. There were many of my favorites on there and it was hard to decide! I got the beef philly with tater tots. Excellent! Finished the whole sandwich but couldn't finish off the tater tots! Wish we could take the rest home, they were good! My hubby had the patty melt with tater tots and loved it. He couldn't wipe out the tots either! Excellent value. Staff was very attentive and friendly!”

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

“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.”

“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”

“Loved the staff and the food was awesome! A very nice experience!”

“First time being to The porch… Wow is all we can say… All staff helped other tables and made service very quick. We ordered a little bit of everything and all of it was so GOOD! We recommend a fast, friendly and delicious. Perfect spot during baseball tournaments 30 us in and out in 1 hour. 🤙🏼”

“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.”

“excellent food. huge portions. Great service and atmosphere. price was about 15 dollars per person plus tip. Great prices. deff new go to place.”

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

“Best food in Council Bluffs!!”

“10/10 would drink here again great bartenders”

“Seven One Two . We can't rate them high enough. Food, service and overall quality are excellent. Details below. To start off, I'm in a wheelchair. Most places that are accessible will watch my wife struggle to get through the door or a customer will help. Not the case here. My wife was about to grab for the door and one of the staff was right there, with a smile. We were seated immediately, out of the way, but not hidden in the corner. Our server, Sheree, was awesome. She answered our questions and explained the specials. She returned appropriately fast to take our order. Being about 2/3 full, I was expecting a bit of a wait, but our drinks were brought out quickly. The food is excellent. Expect it to be what the menu says it will be, not what you want or think it might be. We had the crab cakes for our appetizer. It had a good amount of crab and not all bread crumbs. My wife had the peach flatbread. Exactly what the menu said it would be and delicious. I had the beef stroganoff. After a little hiccup, it was as ordered and very yummy. We were disappointed that we didn't have room for a dessert, but we will make sure to leave room in the future. When we were leaving, 2 staff members were headed to open the door for us. Checking out their Facebook page, we will be back for the wine and flatbread special soon.”

“Always fun. I don’t get to Council Bluffs often. This is a great place to visit. Great drinks. Great staff. Good food to go. Probably better food to stay. Just saying.”

“It’s a great place to eat!!! They have a variety of food, I have my favorites, Patty melt with bacon is bomb 💣!!! Prime rib sandwich on Pretzel bun yum!!! Chef salad 🥗 and chicken salad are very good also, bbq sauce is amazing, plus it’s nice when you walk in and I hear hi Patty lol what’s that tell ya 😀 ❤️ me some Buck Snort!!!!!”

“Great place to drink and enjoy pizza. Bar tenders are amazing and professional 😎”

“Great little restaurant, the street tacos we had were awesome! Several options for kids like chicken nuggets and stuff. Will definitely go back and try other things on the menu.

Kid-friendliness: Several options for kids that don’t like Mexican food.”

“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!”

“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. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️”

“Great customer service & great pizza!”

“I went in last night with a mobile order and found out they closed early, before my order was placed. I went back this morning and they kept my order and made it for me right away!”

“great chicken club sandwich. can't wait till opening day”

“This place is amazing. The people are amazing, the wide selection of award winning beers are amazing and the whole atmosphere is THEE happy place for anyone’s happy hour and all hours. Bonus - the swag shop is full of wonderful options too”

“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”

“The daily specials are always good and a great value.”

“Great service, best fish around, going on 10+ years of driving from Lincoln to make their meals! Bert & crew take care of their customers!!!”

“The food is always on point and the staff is always super friendly!”

“Great spot!”

“Ate here for the first time today and had breakfast. I would highly recommend this place! Friendly staff and the chicken fried steak was delicious.”

“best restaurant always recommeded”

“I really love the food here always hot and fresh. It's easy to see the management and the team love what they do, you can taste it in their food. Yes it is more expensive than other places but wait til you see what you get for your money. I got the carne asada plate and if you stuff everything into that massive burrito shell, you have a burrito fit for an eating challenge. If you like authentic Mexican food this place is it.”

“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.”

“Great team work! Good food. Reasonable prices. See you next time.”

“We come to Legends as much as possible from Northwest Omaha...Standing Bear Lake are We have found the servers to begracious gracious and helpful. Prompt service..food always served hot and delicious. We love Miss Holly, especially when she's doing the cooking. She's a sweetheart. Prices are within range and appropriate. At the top of our favorite list. Please give this Cafe a try...I dont think you will be disappointed.”

“I stopped by tonight on the way to see my dad at the hospital. The girl who helped me was SO kind! I appreciate her going the extra mile to connect. Wish I had gotten her name to thank her personally!”

“it's great food tastes good and waitress was good also”

“Great customer service & great pizza!”

“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.”

“Amazing pies. Had the key lime. Perfection!!!”

“We regularly have breakfast there at least three times a week and the waitresses Mandy and Courtney are awesome. I would not recommend going on Friday or Saturdays for breakfast as the waitress is not the best. She's slow and when you have to wait 20 minutes to be waited on and there is only one other person there it's not great. Otherwise, their food is awesome.”

“Great Mexican food and awesome breakfast”

“Top notch! I love Pizza Ranch wherever I go. Council Bluffs is the 103rd different location the Legendary Pizza Ranch Guest ever visited.”

“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.”

“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!”

“great auntentic mexican cuisine, best margaritas especially half off on Thursdays and big portions of chips and salsa”

“Great breakfast, friendly staff.”

“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.”

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

“the people are wonderful and so nice and welcoming! best burger basket! fabulous pizza & the tacos are yummy! it's my go to place! I feel like family there!”

“I love this place! The food is incredible and reasonably priced, the patio is top notch and the service was fantastic! My new favorite spot in Council Bluffs!”

“Comfortable home grown feel and great food here! ?

Wheelchair accessibility: I feel like their front entrance would be tough for a wheelchair but the back would be fine.”

“Good food. One really needs to try a Runza sandwich if they are here for the first time, it's what makes them a unique choice for food. Nothing else out there quite like it. Also, the smothered chicken sandwiches are pretty bomb too.”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“Ordered the Chicken Fried Steak and everything was great! CFS was perfectly seasoned and crispy with every bite. Sides were cooked well and pretty tasty, too. Definitely recommend trying it out!”

“My son got to try HuHot for the first time! He enjoyed trying new foods. We had a good time and the staff were great. I have food sensitivities so they were great at cooking my food separate from others with fresh spatulas. Wish they had the zucchini noodles but great otherwise!”

“Best food ever!!! I’m from Washington State, feels like home with the food”

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

“Excellent Quality Subs! Huge Variety! Great Service!”

“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.”

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

“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.”

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

“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.”

“katie is a fantastic bartender.”

“Here’s what’s left of the lemon meringue pie I ordered for Thanksgiving! It won’t see the light of the next dawn. Order online and it can be delivered or picked up. So many other good things to eat!

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free, sugar free.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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”

“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!”

“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 😋”

“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!”

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

“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.”

“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”

“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!!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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!”

“Been a long time since I reviewed below. I went 3 times this last week. 1st time I ordered and said what I wanted, of course. 2nd and 3rd - they remembered me already😳. I love that it’s constantly great! All of you there, awesome individuals! Thank you

I have only been into this location a few times. It’s further from my house. My visits are far apart and it’s always a good experience! Thank you ❤️ I appreciate what you do.”

“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.”

“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”

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

Vegetarian options: Veggie

Kid-friendliness: High chairs.”

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

“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!”

“I have never had better food in my life. I have been to many many Chinese restaurants and this is the only one that I love and respect, I could it eat this everyday for the rest of my life. My go to is fried dumplings and general tso with fried rice.”

“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”

“Delicious, quick, affordable. Just sad they took vegetables out of the rice :( Best Crab Rangoon.

Wheelchair accessibility: easy wheelchair accessibility.”

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

“Best Chinese in Omaha-Council Bluffs area without a doubt. I've never had a negative experience here and the food is fantastic, especially the lo and the honey chicken!”

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

“awesome food waitresses super sweet i love eating here”
