I had a free afternoon and for some reason when I check yelp, a couple spots in Council Bluffs, IA show up. I check around and they look fine, elevated bar/comfort food that could be from Anywhere, USA. Pork tenderloin seems to be the move with something fried on the side. LPL's really stuck out for a few reason - massive tenderloin sandwich and a super Midwest feel from the pics. Coming from Omaha, LPL's is about 15 minutes from downtown, but everything is 15-30 minutes it seems no matter where you go so might as well check out a new state. This restaurant is as middle of nowhere in the middle of nowhere as it gets. Nondescript building with just a few windows on the side of what seems like a main road for the area. I'm fairly certain there has not ever been an Asian and/or Hispanic person set foot in here, but hey, I was looking for a hearty and authentic meal and that's what I got. Felt like Joe and Marisa showing up in Alabama. I walked in and could feel the eyes on me immediately and went straight to an open bar stool. The place was pretty packed for a random Monday at 1pm. Everyone seems like regular locals. Server/bartender came up and handed me a menu and I ordered a Yuengling. I already knew what I wanted - pork tenderloin deluxe with some cheese curds. Very reasonable and necessary up charges for both. Now, when people exaggerate and say, "so and so was bigger than my face" I brush it aside, BUT this pork tenderloin was much bigger than my face and is comically large. They actually gave me a to go box to cut some of it up and set aside for maneuverability. I won't say it was seasoned well but the bonus points for size outweighs all. I cut and stacked with mayo and veggies to eat and it was very delicious. Crunchy and juicy with fresh veggies and needed richness from mayo. I was on my 3rd day of curds and ranch, no complaints there other than from my doctor I'm sure. I suppose I can recommend this place... it was just an odd experience of being so out of place for me but the staff was friendly and food was good making this a good place to check out. I would say it's one-of-a-kind spot but I have no idea what the rest of the Midwest is like. It's really in the middle of nowhere and getting an uber back to Omaha took a whopping 17 minutes. I, of course, appreciate anyone that reads my long reviews of random restaurants. I have no idea who is reading this review in NE or IA. $25 for a massive sandwich and 2 beers is the deal if the century. Way off the beaten path but may be worth a visit if you are visiting Omaha and what a different experience.

I am openly not a fan of beer, but my friend suggested two ones to try the Rita Incognita and Berry Quartlet that I actually really liked! I would definitely go back here for those. We got food from Big Kel's Pizza and Wings which was alright. (They allow you to call in food from there and pay via card on the phone or in cash to them in person. They also will bring the food to you in Full Fledged). But the food being just okay doesn't take away from how nice the space is as well as the drinks! They also have special throughout the week to give you some good discounts. I would definitely come back here!

The ambiance is super chic, classy, and quietly tucked away in the Downtown Omaha Marriott, which is already very upscale and relaxing. The atmosphere was truly perfect for productive coworking and a delicious meal!

The creamy sauce they paired them with was a perfect starter to my meal: a classic reuben with fries. I can always go for a good reuben, and Burdock and Bitters delivered! The bread was toasty and the meat was tender and flavorful. The serving was also sizable and I had plenty of leftovers, even having it as dinner too and still being full!

The mac & cheese was nice and creamy. Excellent comfort food. If I'm ever in the area, I would want to try one of the burgers. They looked excellent.

Bottom line up front: Kros Strain Brewing is a world-class hazy IPA destination that every serious…read morecraft beer enthusiast needs to add to their rotation. These are among the best Hazy IPAs I have tasted since visiting Pure Project in San Diego, a brewery widely respected for its mastery of modern hop-forward styles. Kros Strain has clearly developed the technical skill, ingredient selection, and sensory precision required to compete with the very best breweries in the country. Their lineup of Hazy IPAs is deep enough that one visit is merely an introduction. With so many exceptional offerings available, a proper evaluation requires several days of careful tasting. What separates Kros Strain from many breweries chasing hazy IPA mastery is the individuality and refinement of each expression. The beers showcase remarkable control of yeast character, hop biotransformation, and bitterness balance with distinct profiles ranging from saturated tropical fruit and citrus aromatics to layered stone fruit with resinous complexity. For anyone who appreciates world-class NEIPA craftsmanship, Kros Strain is not simply a good local brewery, it is a *destination brewery*. The level of execution, consistency, and creativity rivals the best producers in the modern craft beer landscape, and the breadth of their HIPA portfolio makes Omaha a worthwhile pilgrimage for hop enthusiasts.
