Railway Inn — Restaurant in Council Bluffs

Definitely a no frills place with excellent service. Ambiance is tired old bar with several tv’s, dirty feeling but trying. Food was good as long as you’re not looking for anything healthy. We had The Pork Tenderloin ‘basket’ which is really a sandwich with fries, .50 for a very small slice of tomato, .25 for a leaf of lettuce, extras for the sandwich. Kind of ridiculous. Hot beef sandwich with fake potatoes and I had a salad which was simple but fresh and delicious. A 1/2 salad with less than a 1/4 cup of grilled chicken was $12.99. Don’t expect any mixed drink, cocktail or wine, only shots and beer….NO tap. I think they need to expand...

The staff was friendly but not incredibly attentive. It was not very well kept in terms of cleanliness, and the layout of the place was poor and uncomfortable. It was not temperature controlled, and was cold in the winter. Their signature burger was dry and chewy, and their bacon was cooked to burnt. Their Railway fries were soaked in grease, and either so cooked it tasted like coal, or so soggy it was like biting into a wet noodle. The only food I actually liked was the fried mushrooms, which was generously portioned and fresh. Will not be visiting again, however. The price did not reflect the quality...

One of those Out of the Way Places that you don't want to miss. Surprisingly Quint with food and drinks that will bring you back again... Fully stocked bar with service "extraordinar" Went there for their recommended BBQ Ribs, with no disappointment when they brought out a Full Rack like I've never never seen. Enough to satisfy a larger man than me... Served in 1/2 Rack portions, that would have been more than enough. The Side Choices are plentiful and the Salads Fresh... My friend ordered a T-bone Steak thick and juicy... I think that may be on my plate on my next visit, Mmmm those...
