11 Best American Restaurants in Council Bluffs

“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.“

“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.“

“This is a family run operation in the most absolute wonderful way possible. It was our first time visiting for Dinner Tonight and we were immediately greeted with what felt like open arms and were shown around. The food was fresh and hot and the atmosphere was laid back and down to earth. Great place to bring the family or gather with friends. First time wont be the last time! Thank you guys!...Al.“

“Can't go wrong with any of the breakfast skillets. My hubby had the ham and I had the bacon with English muffins. Always great food. Great service. Only the one server guy running his side of restaurant. Have a little patience, if it's just him. He does a good job?“

“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!“

“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“

“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“
