    Pancakes and two eggs over medium with hash browns
    Rebecca S.

    Stopped here while trailer was getting some work done next door. The time was around 11:45 and the restaurant started getting pretty busy with the lunch crowd I didn't have a lot of time and wanted something quick and easy. I was pretty hungry and ordered coffee and the two egg combo with pancakes. It hit the spot; however, I would not order it with the hash browns next time -Part under cooked, part well done The wait person was super friendly and very attentive Would recommend and return if in the area again

    It's inside of sapp bros

    Breakfast was excellent. Service was also. The best hash browns I have ever had in my life. The ladies restroom is also the best one ever with heated toilet seats, bidets and dryer. And all individual rooms, not stalls.... I'm curious about how it came to be. And apparently it's only the ladies as my bf used the mens. I travel i80 several times per year, so I I'll be making a point to stop here from now on!

    This place was a really nice surprise before hitting a movie. I was looking forward to a breakfast for dinner and oh my goodness was it good. I had to try the cinnamon rolls as well and they were both really good. The waitress was great and very attentive. I will definitely be back

    Classic breakfast

    We looked for a good breakfast place. I found this on Yelp and had no idea it was in a truck stop. Since it had good reviews, Wr took a chance and I'm glad we did. Natalie took care of us. The cinnamon roll is huge!! I will be back if we stay in IA longer.

    First time in an Apple Barrel.

    This was my 1st time in an Apple Barrel and it did not disappoint. The restaurant was clean. The staff was very friendly and the food was really good and delivered hot and fresh to our table. The only negative thing I can say is that parking is limited. I think it's because there is a hotel next door and they park in the parking lot of the travel center that the restaurant is in. I suggest the Biscuits and Gravy. It was oh so good.

    Biscuits and Gravy with over easy eggs on top
    Wanda H.

    Good place for breakfast. Both hubby and I ordered biscuits and gravy. He got his with scrambled eggs (looked like an omelette, but without any additions) and hash browns. I figured with the the biscuit, I surely didn't need hash browns TOO! So, I got an my eggs over easy with an order of bacon, VERY crispy. They did cook the bacon good for me. I guess one could argue that I already had my breakfast meat in the gravy, but... Oh well. Seemed a bit expensive. Service was quick and efficient.

    Cheesy Egg Sandwich, sour dough bread, and sausage.

    August 13, 2019 Tuesday - 6:45 AM for Breakfast One Adult Atmosphere - 4 stars Food - 5 star Service - 5 star Background - Found this on Yelp as on one the places that serves breakfast near the hotel. Atmosphere - It is a restaurant located within a truck stop. It has the basic feel to it. If you ignore that fact, it is a simple diner. Nothing special just the basics to get it done. Food Drink - Coffee and my mug never went dry. Breakfast - Cheesy Egg Sandwich which I selected the sour dough bread, pepper jack cheese, and sausage. Simple breakfast sandwich but so good, and very messy. Service - She was great. She was also managing a credit card machine issue, it was not communicating with the bank. By the time I had to pay it was working. Future - Probably as the location is convenient.

    Loved the eggs and bacon

Upon walking in, we saw the place looked clean and comfortable. We went up to the counter to order, but weren't sure what to get. The person in front of us finished his order and we were instantly tickled to see how they send the order to the kitchen. We asked the person behind the counter what was good, as we were visiting from California and had never been there before. He was great at explaining the menu and giving suggestions. Very friendly. We settled on sharing a swamp donkey burger, fries and a side of Cole slaw. We watched our order whiz away to the kitchen and went to get our drinks. We found a good table, sat down and talked for a few minutes. Before long our order had arrived. The person that brought it over asked if we needed anything else. , and we asked for an extra plate and a fork and knife. He quickly brought it all over, and we felt silly because we didn't see utensils were right next to the drink machine, and we should have gotten them ourselves. I apologized for missing it, but he was so polite and friendly and seemed like it was no big deal. We cut the burger in half, I started on the cold slaw (delicious), and then got to it. The burger was amazing. It was big, perfectly done, and completely hit the spot. The fries were also great. We didn't have long before we gad to get back to the hotel to get ready for the flight, and having already paid at the beginning, it was quick and easy heading out. I don't know if/when we will be back to Council Bluffs, but if we are, we will be back 100% for sure. Highly recommend!

The bread had some sort of seasoning on it that added so much flavor to the sandwich. The fries were seasoned exceptionally well too. I'll definitely be back sometime soon to try more items. The food today was 10/10, and our waitress was very kind and attentive as well.

One of my friends has been here with his co-workers a few times but I haven't been here before. (Maybe one time many many years ago that I don't remember....) We walk in on a Monday night and there were a few people there. It's a small place so I'm glad we were able to get a table. When we sat down, the bartender, (waitress as well), came right over and took our drink orders and eventually our food orders. I wanted to try their renowned broasted chicken. (A device essentially uses pressure cooking and light frying to create a thin crispy skin and juicy interior). The chicken was some of the best 'fried' chicken that I've ever had, seriously. Super crispy skin and juice inside. Reminds me a little of Korean fried chicken. The texas toast was yummy, the cole slaw was creamy (if you like creamy slaw), and the crispy tots were crispy delicious. My friend got a broasted chicken sammich and he loved it too. (High praise coming from him.) My friends and I have been wanting to go back and get more broasted chicken since we left. On Fridays, they have a 4 piece special for $13.99 that I'll have to take advantage of soon. All in all, this little bar/restaurant has some amazing food that I just didn't expect after driving and running past it for years. Can't wait to go back.

The kitchen was open, so I said to the cook, "Don't worry about it if you've already started. I know my indecision can impact people, and I don't want to be a problem." He looked at me and said, "No, it's totally fine. Would you like some veggies on the side?" "Yes, that would be amazing," I said, and walked back to my table... and burst into tears. It wasn't just what he said. It was the kind energy in his eyes. I felt someone who took pride in what he was making, and who genuinely wanted people to be happy. I found myself asking, why am I crying? Because in a world where so many people in power feel disconnected, where corporations can make us feel like numbers, being genuinely cared for in a small café reminded me how much I love humans. Most people have love in their hearts and are trying to share it in their own small ways. As the world cracks, these simple things are more meaningful than ever.
