The Porch

What a fabulous little gem💎 this is! 😀 The food here was fresh and flavorful. My server was a handsome young man that got my order correct and exactly as I asked. The dressing for my salad was made there, as well as the soup. Scrumptious. The burger was the best that I have had in a long time and I go everywhere in the states. Highly recommend this establishment, especially for a small get-together or first date. You're sure to get a great meal and have a positive experience.

This was the best Mac and cheese I have ever had at a restaurant. It has a great flavor and it's the perfect amount of cheesy. The fries were fantastic and the service was good too. Also tasted some of the Power Eye Mac and cheese and was blown away. The jalapenos go great with the chicken and sauce.

Very cool place! The owner, JodiLee welcomed us as soon as we entered! Much appreciated. Great staff, they kept checking on us regularly. The all meat pizza was great! Jodi gave us 2free drink tickets for next time we come back. They have great outdoor seating outside bar with 2 huge sand volleyball courts! Place was awesome! Thank you Jodi and staff!

Came down for our anniversary weekend and stumbled across this place. 100/10 would come again! Food was great, service was amazing. LOVED the decor and all the adorable salt and pepper shakers! Don’t pass this place.

Excellent food!! Well designed menu of options. Mac and cheese and burgers were the best! Portion size was large. Shout out to The Porch.

Went in for a quick, late dinner after a card show. It was quiet, quick service and great food. My husband ordered a pizza, which he loved and had extra to take. I ordered the gourmet chicken bacon ranch mac and cheese. I loved it. Drinks were great as well. Very reasonably priced, great food and great service.

I don’t usually write reviews, but The Porch deserves one!!! I have been here several times and have not had one complaint. The food?! Absolutely love it! I’ve tried many dishes and have loved them all. Their staff?! INCREDIBLE!!! Their team busts their bottoms to provide every table with exceptional service!! Lisa and Colin are awesome!!! Whether you want to sit inside and chill, or head out back to the patio, the environment is a great time! If you’re in CB or passing through, I would highly recommend checking them out!!

Nice place with good food. I had the steak bites and onion pedels and the all seven burger as well.

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.

Fair food, fair price... nothing really to write home about, but seems to be a very popular spot. I can see the appeal, so I think you should try it first yourself.

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.

Good food. Have been a few times and have been happy with the food. Service has also been good. If you like Mac and cheese they have tons of options.

First time for The Porch to make a cheese curd pizza! They nailed it! I can see it being on the menu permanently!

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

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.

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!

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.

Food is always amazing, no matter what we order and the staff is always so friendly! The atmosphere is fun, I always eating here.

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.

The food is great and I love their specials. The place is always clean and the servers are always quick to take care of you. I really like that they have a volleyball league.

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.

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-!).

First time here, very good. Ordered the mac & cheese with steak. Excellent and a supreme pizza can't go wrong..

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.

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.

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!

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!!!

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!

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

We are traveling through from Alabama and saw the reviews for The Porch and thought we would give them a try. What a wonderful experience! The food was amazing and the service was perfect! Lisa and Lauren did a really great job making us feel welcome and taken care of through their wonderful personalities and amazing service! The gluten free pizza was sooo good, yep ~ don't be scared to try it we were really happy with the pizza! Also, we had the chef salad and it was amazing as well. Thanks again Lisa and Lauren! When we come through again we will be sure to stop by :)

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!!

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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!

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.

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

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 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.

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!

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

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 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.

Went here for take out bacon cheeseburger pizza. Walked in to get food. Seemed like a happening place w outdoor volleyball and porch. Lots of people but made it hard to hear. The food was great and portion size reasonable. Check it out if in area.

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!

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.

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.

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

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.
