I had a free afternoon and for some reason when I check yelp, a couple spots in Council Bluffs, IA show up. I check around and they look fine, elevated bar/comfort food that could be from Anywhere, USA. Pork tenderloin seems to be the move with something fried on the side. LPL's really stuck out for a few reason - massive tenderloin sandwich and a super Midwest feel from the pics. Coming from Omaha, LPL's is about 15 minutes from downtown, but everything is 15-30 minutes it seems no matter where you go so might as well check out a new state. This restaurant is as middle of nowhere in the middle of nowhere as it gets. Nondescript building with just a few windows on the side of what seems like a main road for the area. I'm fairly certain there has not ever been an Asian and/or Hispanic person set foot in here, but hey, I was looking for a hearty and authentic meal and that's what I got. Felt like Joe and Marisa showing up in Alabama. I walked in and could feel the eyes on me immediately and went straight to an open bar stool. The place was pretty packed for a random Monday at 1pm. Everyone seems like regular locals. Server/bartender came up and handed me a menu and I ordered a Yuengling. I already knew what I wanted - pork tenderloin deluxe with some cheese curds. Very reasonable and necessary up charges for both. Now, when people exaggerate and say, "so and so was bigger than my face" I brush it aside, BUT this pork tenderloin was much bigger than my face and is comically large. They actually gave me a to go box to cut some of it up and set aside for maneuverability. I won't say it was seasoned well but the bonus points for size outweighs all. I cut and stacked with mayo and veggies to eat and it was very delicious. Crunchy and juicy with fresh veggies and needed richness from mayo. I was on my 3rd day of curds and ranch, no complaints there other than from my doctor I'm sure. I suppose I can recommend this place... it was just an odd experience of being so out of place for me but the staff was friendly and food was good making this a good place to check out. I would say it's one-of-a-kind spot but I have no idea what the rest of the Midwest is like. It's really in the middle of nowhere and getting an uber back to Omaha took a whopping 17 minutes. I, of course, appreciate anyone that reads my long reviews of random restaurants. I have no idea who is reading this review in NE or IA. $25 for a massive sandwich and 2 beers is the deal if the century. Way off the beaten path but may be worth a visit if you are visiting Omaha and what a different experience.

I met my friends here for dinner a couple weeks ago and the whole experience was really surprising,…read moretbh, but in a good way. One of my friends has been here with his co-workers a few times but I haven't been here before. (Maybe one time many many years ago that I don't remember....) We walk in on a Monday night and there were a few people there. It's a small place so I'm glad we were able to get a table. When we sat down, the bartender, (waitress as well), came right over and took our drink orders and eventually our food orders. I wanted to try their renowned broasted chicken. (A device essentially uses pressure cooking and light frying to create a thin crispy skin and juicy interior). The chicken was some of the best 'fried' chicken that I've ever had, seriously. Super crispy skin and juice inside. Reminds me a little of Korean fried chicken. The texas toast was yummy, the cole slaw was creamy (if you like creamy slaw), and the crispy tots were crispy delicious. My friend got a broasted chicken sammich and he loved it too. (High praise coming from him.) My friends and I have been wanting to go back and get more broasted chicken since we left. On Fridays, they have a 4 piece special for $13.99 that I'll have to take advantage of soon. All in all, this little bar/restaurant has some amazing food that I just didn't expect after driving and running past it for years. Can't wait to go back.

This is a casual environment with spacious seating and a long bar. Service at the bar was friendly and reasonably quick. We found a seat at the last available table, and that rascal was a plastic one that seemed placed last minute. Smart of 'em, too, as there seemed to be a lot of regulars. So much so that we felt we were crashing someone's party. The bar was well stocked with reasonable prices. They were doing a brisk business. And handling it well. Nice folk, too. We didn't have the food, but it smelled so good that I was wishing I hadn't eaten before arriving. Worth checking out if you're near there. It's a stretch for us, so I don't know that we'll swing back that way. The vibe didn't suit us, so we bailed after a beer, but it clearly suits the locals and seems well worth attending for them. Do try it if you're near. Parking seemed spacious enough for the size of the place. It's gravel, so if you're fancy about your car, YMMV. Still, if you're nearby, check 'em out.

Was really looking for someplace different that had an outdoor patio and this sure was it! Loved the little drive through the country to get there. They were quite busy just after 6PM. We would have came sooner but service on the upstairs deck doesn't start until 6. Perhaps that will change in the future and open up earlier. The view from the top deck was fun. Nothing amazing just quiet country except for the occasional motorcycle or grain truck cruising past on the highway. We were lucky to have gotten the only table on the deck. Surprised they only had one table on the deck. With the size of the deck more tables and umbrellas would be a fantastic addition to that deck. I think the owners are fairly new so perhaps that will also come down the road. They did have 2 long picnic tables against the wall however they looked pretty uninviting and also each had a bucket on it filled with old rain water, empty bottles and cigarette butts. Nothing against smoking as smokers seem to enjoy the deck as we did, but who wants to sit next to a bucket filled with water and trash. Speaking of trash there were also a couple of bags of trash tied up and sitting on the deck. Didn't seem to smell but not very appealing. Their main level is the main bar area and upstairs is an adult only game room which seemed to be popular. Full service bar up there and all employees were very welcoming. You did have to order your food and drink inside if you are sitting outside, but they will bring your food out when it is ready. Worked out well. I ordered the Philly sandwich. I really appreciated the fresh green pepper and onions on it, the toasted bun and a good amount of cheese. I just really didn't care for the meat. It had an off flavor and it was seemingly overcooked? Crunchy and kind of dry. And this sandwich is huge! Could easily split it, but unfortunately I just didn't care for it. I ordered a side salad with it which was good. My dining partner ordered the BLT. Didn't know it was a triple decker and with it being served on Texas Toast made this one huge sandwich and a bit difficult to eat. It looked really fresh but the bacon was different than we are used to. It was very limp and just also had an off taste. Maybe turkey bacon? Not sure but it also wasn't our favorite. Ordered potato salad as a side and that was tasty. Seems their breakfast gets good reviews perhaps will try that someday. Would rather come in the afternoon or eve and sit on the deck. Maybe just come tatchos next time...If we want to wait until 6PM. I'm told you can sit up on the deck before 6 but there is no access from inside so you have to walk around the outside of the building and go into the main bar to get your drinks and food. I'm probably not that coordinated. Ha ha!

The waitress and other employees were super nice and welcoming. We were greeted and were sat immediately. I obviously ordered the Cheeseburger deal and my daughter ordered the Ranch Bacon Chicken sandwich. The cheeseburger was okay. You can obviously tell that it was just a frozen patty by the texture and shape; (it's $5 though, so I can't complain about it too much. What did I expect?). Also, you can tell the chicken on the chicken sandwich was frozen by the same things, the texture and shape. I'm assuming that mostly everything on the menu is frozen. They have some really good specials but not sure if we will go back and try other things in the future.

When you are here - don't you dare drink a basic beer! I tried the raspberry jalapeño and it was delicious and no, not burning spicy, just the flavor of jalepeno at the end. My parter tried their summer cider, and it was slightly dry, fruity, and bubbly. For an Omaha Burger, this is one of my go-to's from here on out.
