About JB Cafe

JB's Cafe, located in Council Bluffs, is a casual dining spot tucked away at the back of a casino hallway. The cafe offers a menu with a variety of options, including a breakfast menu available all day, burgers, sandwiches, salads, pizzas, and daily specials. Recent visitors have praised the friendly staff and the clean, brightly lit seating area with views of the poker room and TVs. Customers can enjoy well-stocked condiments and utensils, making for a comfortable dining experience.

The food quality has been highly appreciated, with some noting that the food here is always incredible. The cheesesteak has been described as the best ever, and pancakes are also very well-liked. The combo pizza is tasty with a good cheese blend, although they were out of mushrooms on a recent visit. The chef salad is filling with plenty of meat and cheese, though it could use more lettuce. The turkey club and tots received praise for being crisp, tasty, and filling, while the open-faced turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy had mixed reviews, with the turkey and bread praised but the potatoes criticized for having hard chunks. The French toast from the breakfast menu was described as sweet and well-cooked, while sides of eggs and sausage were considered too salty.

Overall, the staff at JB's Cafe are friendly and accommodating, often checking on customers. It is a good choice for a casual meal, especially if other dining options like Jack Binion's Steakhouse are closed. However, some concerns about the dining ambiance, including a strong smoke smell, have been noted. The cafe also offers a convenient place to use any rewards earned from the casino, making it a practical option for a quick, casual meal in the area.
