The Porch

"Arrived around 5, Sunday. Wasn't too busy that we couldn't get a table, unfortunately we sat near the patio door exit and there were a lot of kids in the room who were tired of eating with their parents and the kids were going in and out in and out in and out in and out, we stopped counting after 50 times the door had opened and slam shut right behind us. Service was fast, food was wonderful, highly recommend the Cuban sandwich. Crinkle fries were really good and sweet potato fries were a surprisingly sweet as they were dusted with cinnamon and sugar, but they were excellent"

"Our servers were plenty friendly and attentive to us. From giving us a heads up on the daily specials to checking up on our opinions of the food, these workers displayed excellent customer service. The atmosphere inside reminded me of a barbecue restaurant I used to eat at a while ago. Only this place looked more modern. I was important at how many different TVs were hung up on each wall. It didn’t take too long for our food to be served. I ordered the BBQ Burger and Sweet Potato Fries. I found the burger to be excellent; the burger was juicy and tender, the bacon was perfectly crispy, and the barbecue sauce was a fine balance of sweet and savory. As for the sweet potato fries, the one detail that kept them from being perfect was the brown sugar sprinkled on top. It made the side dish too sweet for my taste. Otherwise, they were crispy and perfectly browned. None of them were dry. The normal fries weren’t very crispy by comparison. The pickle spears served were fresh and crisp. Some restaurants that have served pickle spears usually couldn’t reach this level of quality. Overall, I found this to be a solid choice for dinner."

"Very very good spot for a Sunday meal, there were tons of ppl there, but mostly playing beach vb outside, so plenty of seating available inside. The food was awesome, and the fries were definitely in my top 5. Staff was friendly and I was overall very impressed. I will definitely be coming back the next time we're in the area"

"I stumbled upon this gem in one of my frequent visits to Omaha. I'm from Des Moines so I'm happy we found a local, delicious place to eat in Council Bluffs! The first time we came we got the Mac & Steak and it is so delicious! I have been back several times and I get that every time! I did try the white chicken chili soup the first time I went but wasn't really a fan. However, the Steak and Mac is so good that we have even brought friends and family from Des Moines to try! Service is always friendly and tables are nice and clean. The bathrooms always seem decent when I'm there and they even provide feminine products, which I think is great! You should definitely give this locally owned, amazing place a try!"

"The Porch was a delicious lunch choice! Had a side of macaroni as I had heard it was amazing -- they have MANY choices for flavor but the side alone was awesome. I also ordered the Avocado Sandi and it was also great-- full of flavors and texture that you can't pass up!"
