The porch is a nice place across the river in Council Bluffs. We came after seeing a food review on tik tok and had to try their Mac and cheese. The restaurant was not busy for a Tuesday afternoon. Service was friendly and the Mac and cheese was some of the best in the Omaha/Council Bluffs area. read more

This is our second time stopping here, and once again it did not disappoint. Overall, the place was not busy so we were seated immediately. Our server was super friendly and gave some good ideas on what she recommended. My son fell in love with their mac & cheese with steak bites. My son really enjoyed his huge salad, and my chicken, bacon, and ranch wrap tasted great. Their sweet potato fries were delicious. Honestly, I don't think there's anything that does not taste good there. read more

Great Food & Lively Atmosphere! We had a great time at The Porch on a bustling Friday night! The atmosphere was loud and lively, which added to the fun. They had multiple TVs playing a mix of sports, news, and even home repair shows--something for everyone. The food was delicious! I had the macaroni and cheese with steak tips, while my guests shared a pepperoni pizza, and we all split the chips and cheese. The pizza was definitely large enough to share between 2-3 people, cooked through, and served piping hot. The cheese sauce for the chips tasted just like the one from the mac and cheese--rich, creamy, and delicious! It was fun to compare, though I'd probably recommend choosing one or the other rather than both in one sitting. The service was great, too--the staff was super patient with our questions and made sure we had everything we needed. Overall, a solid spot for good food and a fun night out. Will definitely be back! read more

Do me a favor and stop here because this place is amazing. My family and I have been twice, and both times everything tasted great. You cannot go wrong with the steak bites or mac & cheese. Get the best of both worlds and have mac & cheese with steak bites in my opinion. My son enjoyed his huge salad, and my other son enjoyed his mushroom, Swiss burger.

I went to the Porch this past Friday to grab dinner and drinks with a couple friends and it was a good experience. When I arrived, my friends already grabbed a table so I sat down. The waitress came by and took my drink order, and then she came back and grabbed my food order. They were very nice as I was pretty indecisive on what I wanted so I appreciated that. (Happens too often to me.) I ordered the All Seven burger, $16, which was a monstrous double bacon cheeseburger and the tots; (ya know I dominated it.) The burger was really good but wished the meat had some sort of seasoning like salt and pepper as the meat itself was a tad bland. But the meat was juicy and fresh. The tots were perfectly crispy. I ordered a couple White Russian's and they were pretty good as well. There were three waitresses there and a couple times we had all three waitresses come ask us if we needed anything a few minutes after another, which was nice to see them on the ball, but it was a little much. This was a really good experience and I can't wait to go back and try some of the other food and drinks. read more

Stopped here for a quick dinner and drinks and really enjoyed our meals. It was truly some nice comfort food, which is exactly what we were looking for. We started with the cheese balls (their version of cheese curds). They were super warm and delicious, with great ranch. I got Mac n cheese as my meal and the serving size was huge but probably wouldn't order it again. Also tried my friend's tots and they were so good. So crispy and delicious. Definitely lots of greasy, comfort food which is all you need sometimes. The vibes were very chill and the server and bartender were attentive. Also enjoyed the drinks read more

It's not often that I give 5-burger reviews but I severely under estimated The Porch... We ordered starters, however they brought it ALL at the same time. So we had a one course meal! We snagged the Steak Bites ($13) and the Gouda Mac n Cheese Bites ($12). T LOVED the steak bites, and ate them all! Just tiny cut up pieces of sirloin (5oz maybe?), and served with two toothpicks. Flavor wise, "very flavorful"... tender, and juicy. The Horsey Sauce served with it, had a good zing, and it was SPICY. Neither of us thought $13 was an appropriate cost but we do realize the price of meat isn't lowering. In between, I - of course - ordered a drink... pleasantly named, Orange Peal. A drink that screamed patio! Gouda Mac n Cheese Bites ARE worth their $12 price tag. I could've eaten my weight in them. Warm, crunchy, cheesy, noodly, and served with a spicy ranch; which oddly, I COULD handle it thankyouverymuch. We shared the last one, cause I'm pretty sure we wanted to be selfish. We split the All Seven $16, and damn that egg yall. It just puts the burger on a different level. Next time, I'M BRINGING PEANUT BUTTER. Juicy, eggy, baconey, crisp pickle, drippy, small slivers of onion, and that bun is no ordinary bun folks. Well worth the $16. *don't tell Dinkers, shhhh*. Served with your choice of side, and of course the sweet potato fries; those alone 10/10. 10-freakin-10. We saw our waitress once, and THATS FINE considering we were the only couple on the patio. Never got those drink refills, but again... They've got volleyball on Wednesdays, and to be honest, we both spaced the other two days. They ALSO have live bands monthly, good sized patio, and a shit ton of sand with beach chairs (win-win-!). read more

A nice little place near Omaha and close to the interstate. It's not a massive restaurant, and you can come in and sit where you like. The servers were friendly and helpful. I wanted to venture out to something different and tried the Buffalo mac and cheese, but i wasn't a fan and sent it back. My family both had some Mac and cheese themselves and they enjoyed theirs, not sure what it was about mine. I got a burger instead, which was great. read more

Visiting CB and found The Porch on Yelp. It was close by, and I was impressed with the Yelp rating. Let me start by saying the service was very good -- everyone was extremely nice, and I appreciated the staff very much. What was lacking was the food. I tried the potato bacon soup, and it was watery. Undeterred, I then ordered the pizza -- I detected freezer burn from the dough. There might be yummy items that The Porch serves; unfortunately, they weren't what I ordered. There's plenty of parking, and it's easy to access right off the interstate. read more

Imagine my surprise, arriving early to help with event set up and discussing the layouts of the room I encountered an exceptionally cranky and dismissive person. It was made crystal clear to me that we could not move a table four feet to allow for registration of the door to the private room. I was even more surprised when I found out that this person was one of the owners! A couple of employees that overheard the conversation confided that this is typical behavior and they don't really pay much attention to it. I have news, I don't get paid to be there, I pay to be there. Shortly thereafter this fun chat, I had the opportunity to meet the manager, who indicated that if they had known that the room was going to be used for the type of event we had that they never would've let it be used, even though it was a slow day in the middle of the week. WOW! Fortunately, two of the wait staff were exceptionally helpful and made great suggestions that helped us to facilitate an event that required some flexibility. Honestly, if it hadn't been for the two folks helping us out in the room, I don't know how we would've made it through the evening - very stressful. The pizzas were typical and basic ones were reasonably priced, as were hors d'oeuvres. Soft drinks were rather expensive at $3.50/person. Overall, my takeaway is that I will never, ever bring my business to this operation again until there is a change of management and ownership. I think it's time for a change.

SO... that being said, and totally my fault... I treated myself to their Exotic French Martini Grabbed the Italian Nachos (yes, quite similar!), Ravioli, and Meatballs. Everything but the Ravioli was on their 1/2 priced select apps. Oh man... there's just something about those airy AF chips, covered in peps, cheese, meat, and pepperoncinis. Served with side of marinara sauce. Those meatballs... served with two light, airy and crunchy pieces of dipping bread to sop up all that sauce! However, for the moment, the ravioli stole the show. Just something about a cold, rainy night and a take on simple eats; but with the Big Kels twist! A little hard to find - for me anyways - but there's two entrances, a fabulous game area on the East Sides To-Go door, very eclectic decor (as you'll see in the pics), and a GREAT space for LARGE get together.

So I reordered and waited while they prepared the pizza - We ordered a "King Pepperoni." About ten minutes later, I was told they had "found" my original order(I didn't ask where it was hiding???). So I paid and brought the pizza home. By then it had been more than an hour since I ordered it and the pizza was stone cold. Not only that, it tasted like cardboard. We have occasionally ordered Lansky's before and it was better, but this one sucked bad. The toppings were thin, very little sauce , minimal cheese and the whole thing lacked taste. Yummy pizza is good even when it's cold, but this was not yummy. For nearly $30, I expected better. Between the pointless phone wait, the "who cares" attitude, the temporary lost order and the cold, dry, tasteless pizza, it is unlikely I will ever have Lansky's again.

Dedicated parking makes for easy access, although peak hours right after work, things can get tight. Highly recommend stopping in and trying out Bertha's for a pleasant meal at a great price.

Every time I go in the staff is very friendly and the food is always good. It's your typical small…read moretown kinda place but the atmosphere is perfect.

They got the classic causes for their wings but I was a big fan of their buffaque sauce. I also got their cheese curds. The seating is pretty open, mostly tables and chairs, and bar seating at the back. Decent amount of tvs all around the room. Plenty of parking in the front. Overall had a good visit here.

Lunch specials start at $7.95, and let's be honest, you hardly see that anymore these days. We walked in and it's a cute little spot in the old downtown area. The vibe was relaxed and welcoming. I ordered the cannelloni, which was baked and hearty. My husband had the spaghetti and meatballs with a small Greek salad, and we also ordered mussels for the kids. Everything was delicious. They served complimentary bread, which was so garlicy, buttery, and delicious. They gave us eight pieces for four people! Our total for four people was $38, and the service was great. Perfect for a casual lunch after museum exploring. Highly recommend if you're in the area and want a good meal that won't break the bank!

I love the tap wall and the frequent drink rotations, it's a nice surprise to see what they put out. I will say you have to try the apple pie calzone, it's amazing! I usually try to order it to go and have it with some ice cream at home! The space is always clean which is so pleasant and allows me to trust that the space will be clean when bringing guests from out of town! I also really like the fire places inside when it's chilly. I truly love the layout of this space with all the windows and options for outdoor seating.
