The Porch

Hands down one of the coolest local eateries I've been to in years, blasting night at the Roxbury when I walked in & lots of local regulars mid day. Food is fantastic and a great value. Decor is very fun & they keep this place spotless.

We were visiting from Tennessee for the CWS and looking for a local restaurant to try. We read the reviews for The Porch and all the comments were positive, so we decided to stop in for a late lunch. If you are looking for an inviting place to eat & the best comfort food ~ this is a must place to eat! The customer service is outstanding! We met the owner, Jodi & the manager, Collin, both are top notch at customer service and appreciate your business!

This place always seems to be hopping around lunch time. Stooped in on the way home from KCMO last Friday and we where glad we did. The Burgers are excellent and the sweet potato fries with cinnamon and sugar are an unexpected treat. Love that that have gluten free buns available as well as some other gluten free options. We will be back.

Found The Porch on a trip to the CWS. It was so good that we ate three three times. From wings, onion petals, patty melts, and pizza, it was all delicious and the staff was hustling and very attentive. We've already told friends in the Omaha area to check it out.

Traveling through and lady at hotel recommended them. Mac and steak bites were fantastic. Another member of our party had the Buffalo Chicken Mac and also loved it. Also we got our food very quickly.

The Mac and cheese bowls were amazing!! Welcoming atmosphere, the waiters were kind and quick to check in with us. The one complaint was the price of one of the burgers. My husband got the all-in-seven burger, he said it was good but wasn’t worth the price. The Mac and cheese, and wraps are definitely worth the price though! We visited for the first time on Saturday and were already back by the next week. Highly recommend stopping by to eat!

Nice little spot...stopped for lunch. Had a mushroom Swiss burger, added a patty, and tots. Excellent food and excellent service.

Wonderful atmosphere. The staff was beyond amazing and absolutely adorable. A five star five bar for sure!!!! Get the Tatchos, get the wings, get the Mac and cheese, get the Tenderloin and you'll decide to move to Iowa. 10 out of ten. Will be back in the morning for lunch. Seriously. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

We were juat passing through to our VRBO and this place kept coming up during my search. Glad we found it! Our family of 5 enjoyed it very much. Great assortment, cute decor, super speedy service, great prices, and the staff was phenomenal.

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!

The Porch is a great place for lunch. Ordered the protein style burger. Patties were huge and very filling. Service was great.. service with a friendly smile. Inside is nice and clean. Definitely coming back

Plenty of seating inside. Patio outside. Sand volleyball out back. Our sandwiches had plenty of meat and were tasty. Family oriented. Plenty of parking. Service is fast and friendly. Fan favorite of our family.

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.

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 don't think there's anything that they don't cook great here.

Service is first class. I was greeted as I came in and served right away. The food is excellent, and the waitress's did a phenomenal job. Will definitely return!

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

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.

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.

Great service clean and speedy food. Love the pork tenderloin and tots. Hubby had the burger and it was amazing as well

Really like that they source their ingredients locally! Like many places in this neck of the woods, it's a bit of a dive but the burgers are huge and delicious. I like the fries a lot, though they were just a bit too salty.

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.

Food was great and atmosphere was very laid back and comfortable! The place is bigger than you would think from the outside! Complimentary parking lot out front. We stopped for dinner before a movie at AMC down the road. Our server was great, he was there when we needed him and not over bearing. I'd skip the cheese balls and try something else on the appetizer menu! Portions were HUGE, we took a lot home for lunch the next day!

Food and service was great. I've eaten there many times and will continue to eat there when I'm in town.

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-!).

Everything was great from start to finish. Waitresses and hostess were amazing. The food definitely hit the spot.I like to leave skittles behind with every great service we encounter. Well deserved!!!

The ladies here were super sweet and friendly. The place was clean and no noticed no concerns. Love the different salt and pepper shakers. The burgers were delicious! I love a good burger! Sweet potato fries were good with the seasoning.

The Porch is excellent! Very delicious food! Their service has always been great, and the dining area has always been spotless. The atmosphere is nice, and the value isn't bad, considering the quality. I highly recommend The Porch!!

Who would've guessed this hole in the wall bland building from the outside would have such amazing food on the inside. The Seven burger was so good. I had the simple mac and cheese as my side, but there were about a dozen unique mac and cheese specials that I would live to try next time I'm in town. Solid food and great service!

Food is nothing spectacular. Service was friendly but not terribly accurate. A few items for our group of six were incorrect and had to be corrected. Some of our appetizer plates had to be sent back because they were not clean. I suspect you may have better luck not on a Friday night.

This place is a wonderful place to eat! It's extremely clean and inviting with updated decor and a welcoming atmosphere. There is plenty of seating, the waitresses are friendly and accommodating, and the food is exceptional. My husband and I both had burgers and thought they were "5 star"....juicy and thick. I had a side salad which sincerely was the best salad I've eaten. The lettuce was chopped well, with a balance of chopped tomatoes, and a sprinkling of cheese. The raspberry vinaigrette dressing made it even better. Plus, the bowl they served it in looked porcelain with flowers. It was as if I was experiencing a fabulous home cooked meal. Don't hesitate to pick this place. You won't regret it!

Great service-- attentive & timely service. Steady crowd on a Saturday afternoon. Their special was a prime rib grilled cheese & it was fabulous! I also had the tomato basil soup which was so creamy & really good. I would go back!

Really chill place to grab some food and beers. They have some fun appetizers and good pricing. Hightop and normal booth seating is comfortable. Have been here a few times recently and plan on coming back anytime we are in the area.

Jodi and her staff are amazing!! We were in town for my son's baseball tournament and made TWO visits to The Porch. Coming from Los Angeles we didn't know much around Council Bluffs but we're so happy we stumbled upon The Porch. Amazing food, yummy drinks, lively atmosphere, entertainment for kids and adults, overall such a warm, inviting place. Jodi really makes you feel so comfortable and at home. I can't say enough about her and her wonderful crew. Thank you for great evenings at The Porch. You gave us unforgettable memories on our road trip!

Solid food and drink menu. Seat yourself, chill atmosphere with the a close knit staff. Seasonal drinks are always worth a try

Great food selection, service and speed. Nice and clean on the inside (don't let the outside deceive you). Yummy steak Mac n cheese and Cuban sandwich. Delicious blueberry Moscow mule.

Their macaroni and cheese was creamy and highly recommended. The best margarita and the staff was very pleasant!

Oh my gosh such good food! I got the BLTE and it was amazing! The fuhs fries and Mac cheese were fire. The service was great and it was a nice cozy ambience. I definitely will be back!

If you love truly cheesy macaroni this is the place for you. I ended up getting the patty melt with just a side of macaroni and cheese, and was glad I did. Friends for the Mexican macaroni and cheese and raves about it, the jalapeño gave a nice kick! For appetizers, steak bites and the mac n cheese bites were a hit (not pictured). Clean restaurant, prompt service.

HIGH expectations based on reviews and menu going here! Prompt service, maybe too prompt in wanting to move us along. Appetizers were typical bar food. Mac and Cheese good, nothing over the top other than the toppings which were also par. I had the pork tenderloin, and it was not tender. It was thick and flavorless. I tried adding mayo and salt and pepper, didn't help much. Some had salad that was chunks of iceberg with very few other toppings. Grilled sandwiches looked good. No one raved during appetizers, or dinner about their food. I don't even think anyone said theirs was good. Additionally, the air was so cold coming out of the vents we were all ready to leave anyway. Sadly, the place picked for my birthday dinner wasn't a hit. Thank goodness my friends are!

Great food and service. Fun times. My waitress was wearing a rare 1998 shamrock Budweiser shirt. Tig ol bitties. But we agreed on a price. I'm home safe and sound and now, own a real vintage shirt. Really fun day.

Consistently good. I'm surprised to see lower ratings. We have been to the porch at least 10 times, always with great service no matter how busy they are and the food is wonderful. We came here first for their Mac n cheese (which is delightful) but have continued to come back to try new things on their menu and have never had a bad meal. Reasonable pricing compared to many places today as well. We enjoy the causal atmosphere and the staff that is always friendly!

The food was good with large portions. Our service was fast and friendly. The dining room was clean, smoke free and nice sized.

Meatloaf Dinner special Please see my earlier review on having a lite snack before out afternoon matinee at the AMC theater

We had the bone-in buffalo chicken wings (good - average), steak bite salad (steak was tasty) and mac and cheese bites app (loved them!). Also had Jodi's Lemonade and Orange Peel - pretty tasty. Our waitress Hailey was THE BEST! I would come back!

Great burgers and quick Uber to the airport! Great service. The weather sucked to I did not experience the actual porch.

Great little restaurant/bar, service was quick and everyone was really friendly. They changed a tv channel for me to watch some football. Tot's were very good and my burger was also. I enjoyed the chill vibe and country music they had playing also.

Love the staff, food, and the overall atmosphere! The rec volleyball league is always a blast and love all the people that it brings in.

Bacon burger a little confusing. Raw onions didn't pair well with caramelized onions. My daughter loves Mac and cheese and the raw onions in the pulled pork Mac and cheese was a turn off for her.

After a long day of driving, this was what we needed. Really liked the food but really enjoyed the people working here. Next time I'mrolling through Council Bluffs I will be stopping in again.

We've been here a handful of times now. The food.. well It's nothing outstanding but always gets the job done. I'll come back but it's not a place I'd crave. Service is decent, didn't seem like the staff really communicated or worked together as a team. The decor is nice and homey, very clean.

We were able to seat ourselves anywhere we wanted and we were welcomed right away. Steak bites appetizer was fantastic and food (Fried Chicken & Buffalo chicken wrap) came out HOT, super quick and it was delicious! Had to take some home, we couldn't eat it all. Only reason I gave a 4 star review was that although they had a nice salad selection, they only use iceberg lettuce, which I really dislike. Personal preference. Otherwise, really enjoyed it.

The food is awful. I went to pick up my Togo order on Friday 1/19/24. I showed up the same time it was ready and it was cold, soggy, and missing the sauces which I paid extra for. Obviously I wasn't going to drive across town just for sauce but still. I got a burger and sweet potato fries. The bun of the burger was so soggy it was dripping wet. Who likes a burger with a soggy bun? The sweet potato fries were not crisp at all, they were floppy and soggy. Plus no ranch because they forgot it. I spent close to $45 dollars on 2 meals that were not even worth $20. Never ordering or going here again. It was a huge disappointment and a waste of my money.

The porch is an unassuming restaurant with a varied menu. The service was great, the food came quickly. The place was busy with a variety of age groups visiting. We'll definitely be back. The food was good!

5 stars because the pickle fries are TO DIE FOR. I absolutely loved them and they have good ranch. The steak on the mac n cheese was seasoned really well and cooked perfectly. The mac n cheese was creamy and filling as an entree. I would absolutely eat here again! They have a variety of options that range from burgers to wings to pizza! Something for everyone to try. The tables that they have in the dining area are stunning! You can tell a lot of work went into the remodel before opening The Porch. I tried a signature Orangesicle drink and it was really really wonderful. Service was great and our table was checked on several times. My favorite new spot in CB!

Food was Outstanding! Compliments to the cook! This is a bar & grill. Very loud while there at 4:30p on a Sunday. Would go again.

The Porch is my favorite comfort food spot! Such a homey atmosphere, amazing service always, and they're branching out their menu to include breakfast. We tried the special of the day, a breakfast quesadilla, and it was amazing! Arguably the best wet hot wings in town, and you can never go wrong with Gouda Mac n cheese bites. Love this place!

The service was horrible and the workers were very rude. The food tasted horrible. It tasted stale and was not good. The ambiance of the place was overall awful. I'm really hoping if i ever come again it will be better.
