Barley's

Very cool restaurant! Super awesome architecture and design. Very nice selection on tap. Cocktails are very heavy. We had steak bites for our appetizer, which were good but missing the horseradish sauce which I imagine would be a complete game changer. I ordered the Barley Burger, which tasted amazing. The red onion marmalade worked perfectly with the rest of the burger. The crinkle cut fries were great. Wait staff was friendly and made sure we were being helped frequently. Overall good food, atmosphere, and time.

They have a $1 matches for Happy Hour on Thursday, so certain drinks/shots are buy one, get one for $1. The food and drinks are great and the service was awesome! It wasn’t super busy and it was a nice, relaxed environment. They also have a system where you can pay online through an app, so you don’t have to wait to get your card back!

We haven’t been to Council Bluffs much so I jumped on the idea to try somewhere new. We chose to sit outside and view the area. Our server was friendly and thorough with us. My husband chose fried gizzards as our appetizer which I’m not a huge fan of honestly. They were good but somewhat chewy in my opinion. He was pleased with them and with his Shrimp po boy. I thought my chicken quesadilla was very good nice portion size but a had a little too much chili powder in the seasoning. I think next time I’ll try a sandwich to see how they are. I definitely want to come back and relax outside again.

Seat yourself style pub..nI like the atmosphere.nWaitress was quick to see us..nnLarge selection of burgers..nnOrder......nChicken nachos, house made fried flour chips,.. generous portion of chips and toppings.nI am a fan of this type of chip, good flavor..nMy wife however said she would prefer shredded vs cubed chickennnThat aside, pretty sure these were heated in a microwave and the cubed chicken may be packaged.. I walked down to where you can look into the kitchen and sure enough, there was chef Microwave.nNot a big deal, and they do taste good. 3.5/5nnChicken fried steaknnNew Yorker burger.nnNormally I go into more detail about texture, flavor, etc. But Something quickly occurs to us...nAnd we've been doing this many years, I'm fairly certain, everything is pre-made.nnThe Patty screams Sam's club.nEven the CFS appears pre-made..nnFor a quick meal, this place isn't terrible, but it's a one and done for us..nnWith that said, the wait staff is amazing, on par with upscale dinning...

Staying in Council Bluffs for the weekend and decided to check this place out. So glad we did!! The nachos were delicious- tortilla chips were homemade and outstanding. My husband loved his burger. Fast and friendly service. Try this place out!!
