Although not in Omaha, we made a quick little road trip to Logan, IA. Tucked away along the rolling hills of Loess, we swung by for dinner. Saturdays are for SMOKED prime rib night and it's a must to try their 12oz. Side of corn and mac and cheese, plus that au jus dunking sauce. Requested done medium and she came out perfect! Tender, juicy, seasoned well, crusted to perfection. That mac and cheese was BOMBBBB and highly recommended! First time having "smoked" prime rib and it's one officially checked off the list. EXCELLENT smoked flavor! I'm such a fish and chips whore, so when I saw it on the menu, it was a must. Boasted as premium cod, she comes in BIG fillets! Their two piece meal was plenty for one. Nothing to write home about on the chips; your traditional fry. Not terribly seasoned and not terribly... not seasoned. The cod was decently bite worthy, a little on the dry side, but flaked up well. Would I order it again? Probably not. Tartar sauce was just.. tarter cause. Timing was a tad off, as we finally got a refill and an additional water, when it was time to get the check. If you're going for a burger, plan on an extra 25mins ontop of your wait (unless uou made a reservation). Also snagged their Corn Colada off their drink list. Very sweet, no sweet corn taste, and surprisingly not burned! read more

Although it is off the beaten path, Twisted Tail is worth the drive. The address says Logan, Iowa; however, it is actually located in a tiny unincorporated town called Beebeetown. Don't worry -- the roads getting there are in great shape and it is a pleasant drive. We visited there with some good friends last Thursday evening to avoid the wait times that I had read about on Fridays and Saturdays. Even though that meant we missed their popular ribs and prime rib nights, we were able to experience everything else which makes this place special. To begin with, the building at the corner of the only 4-way stop sign for miles around is rustic, yet clean and well-maintained. The interior harkens back to simpler days of the past with antiques, pictures and other great decor. Our waitress was a young gal who was very nice -- even though she didn't know what the daily special would look like. We figured that many of her customers are regulars who don't need to ask exactly how a dish will be served. Not a problem! Three of our group elected to try the Hot Beef daily special which was tender slices of beef in a sandwich topped with brown gravy with sides of mashed potatoes and creamed green beans. Good home-style cooking that looked and tasted delicious. My wife chose the French Dip sandwich which came with onion rings and au jus. The hoagie bun was filled with meat and she pronounced it to be delicious as well. Our only mistake was ordering an appetizer of Onion Rings. Not the onion rings themselves--they were more than fine. But it was a missed opportunity to sample something else as a starter. Wonderful meal! Highly recommend this place. read more

Almost 9 years since my initial review and this place still amazes me. Way out here in the middle of nowhere the TT still delivers. Great lunch specials like the chicken fried chicken or the Hot beef. The weekends feature Ribs that are to die for and then Saturday features the most amazing Prime Rib ever. Make reservations to guarantee a weekend visit. the service here sets a high bar for me, these folks know how to treat people. Besides the big menu selection the bar has the best selection of whiskeys anywhere. Draft beers abound and the taps rotate year round. The bar keep makes some of the most creative cocktails anywhere. Stop in and treat yourself. read more

What can I say....but DELICIOUS!!! If you walk out of there empty handed or hungry....it's your own fault! Generous portions and always priced right ---- the family that runs this restaurant are the salt of the earth type folks --- Just LOVE to go there and have dinner! read more

It's OK you're basic bar food... I'm out in the middle of nowhere. A lot of people ran and rave about this restaurant that I was not that impressed. read more

Took my family out to eat there tonight for their veteran's day event and we were so impressed. The portions were huge and absolutely delicious. Friendly staff and they were working their tails off tonight, hats off to them for their hard work and to this restaurant for offering full-size meals to us veterans. No place has to give us anything for free on veteran's day to show their appreciation, and we certainly appreciate all those who do, and this place far surpassed anything we could have imagined and we are so thankful for their generosity. -Winchell family read more

Super busy, waited about 15 min with a reservation. Got seated and had to wait a good 15 min for drinks. Placed an order and forgot my side which they ended up bringing out when I was done with my meal. Steak was over cooked, won't go back at supper time. Please get more waitresses! read more

Didn't eat but had a quick hydration while out biking with the boys. Service and ambiance were pretty good. I will have to stop back some time to try the food and redo my review. read more

This phenomenally popular restaurant is situated a few miles north of I-880 at exit 21. Parking is very much catch as catch can, and on Friday night I was glad I got there early. This is rib night, starting at 5 PM. The place was already more than half full at 5:10, and there was a line waiting for seating at 6. Service was prompt, and $25.15 plus tip (excellent service) purchased a half rack of very meaty ribs (7 bones) with a side of seasoned fries, a second side of onion rings, and a refillable soda (Coke products). The ribs were well prepared, and served wet. The sauce was neutral, leaning neither to the sweet nor the spicy, but instead sealing the moisture into high quality meat. Both sides were solid, but the onion rings were a real treat. It is definitely worth getting off the interstate to give this one a try. read more

In the middle of nowhere. Hey, we live here. So don't dis. I love it! This is DA KINE! (Pidgin for the best) I'm a Hawaii girl, what can I say? The place hops on Friday night--ribs! Whoo, boy! Yum! Watch out, you may have trouble parking! Okay, a huge lot across the street! Good service, they know their stuff. Local brews! Destination dining... worth it all the way. Western/ranch/casual/bikers. A band on occasion! read more

Visited from California, and we had a large family gathering specifically at the Twisted Tail, although it was 50 miles from where we were staying. Every time we go back, we find time to have dinner there. Good quality, service and price! read more

Service was good Food tasted good. We accidentally ordered the same meal as the last time we were there. The Ribeye sandwich comes with lots of gravy but not as much meat. It tasted ok, but neither of us really wanted all the extra gravy and bread. We do enjoy going there, although, for us, it is well off the paths we usually take. The ambience is fun, more like a real old fashioned restaurant/saloon. The building is itself old. I would recommend trying it out. Be aware it is 'extra' casual so don't be offended by the wait staff and presentation. Enjoy yourself read more

5 stars all around! The facility was nice and clean, our waitress came around often, and the food was great! We started with some onion rings and those were great. Then I got the b town burger, husband got the AM burger. With mine I got sweet potato fries and that came with some marshmallow sauce!!!!! Wow. So tasty! Husband got regular fries and those were good too! We will definitely be back. read more

I wanted to take a ride on one of my bikes and Beebeetown is always a good destination from Council Bluffs. It's a really nice ride. A couple days ago, I decided to take the short ride to Beebeetown. After the scenic ride, I stopped and grabbed a beer. I got the Berries and Barbs and it was cold and had a good head on it. The bar tender was really nice and busy setting up the bar for the day, which is good to see as that stuff is phoned in all the time and other bars. I'll come out again and try the food, in which I'll update my review. read more

The food here is fresh and well prepared. Service is friendly and efficient. Ambiance is country casual. The Twisted tail serves comfort food and does it well. Menu is on line so I won't repeat it here but the tail has daily specials worth checking out. Nice ribs on Friday, smoked Prime rib on Saturday and Chicken fried chicken on Wednesdays to name a few. Good full service bar. Nice road trip from Omaha. Recommended. read more

We (2) waited to get seated for 1 hour, now I'm understand that it was busy but, we should not have to wait in line for 1 hour. We got settled in at our table and ordered our food right away to get them in right away so we would not have to wait hours for our food. We got our side salads 45 minutes later and an hr goes bye we still did not have our main meal (2 burgers). After waiting almost 2 hours for our main meal we finally got it. They need to either get more help or let people know how long things will take to get on their table. Great waiter just it's not a great time management. read more

Food, service and atmosphere were all wonderful. After a day of driving through the Loess Hills Scenic Byway, we decided to stop here for an evening meal on a Saturday evening and were very happy with every point of our evening!! We will be back, with reservations, for prime rib some weekend. Those plates looked mouth watering!! Worth the trip if you are not from the area!!! Well done folks!!! read more

We've been many times over the years. The food and service are consistently great. Everything we've tried has been excellent: the tenderloin sandwich, bbq chicken sandwich, french dip, philly and the burgers. I love the sweet potato fries with marshmallow dipping sauce. They also have great ribs on Friday nights, but get there early because they sell out fast! It's also one of the few places I find Wilson's Cider. It's a nice little drive from Council Bluffs, especially if you're cruising out on the bike or classic. We tend to take a "back way" and enjoy the scenic drive. The food is worth the drive and it makes for a fun time. read more

We're looking for a steakhouse between Sioux City and Des Moines and stumbled across this place on Google maps and yelp. That we would check it out super cool layout, local staff very helpful, accommodating, friendly locals at the bar and great steaks. My wife had fillet which was an excellent cut of meat and cooked perfectly and the New York strip, which wasn't the best one I've ever had, but it certainly was at the top third and was very good Cooked well. Salads were nice. Sweet potato was very good. read more

Bikers, bar, burgers and more. I'll tell you now, the highlight was the sweet potato fries with marshmallow sauce! A busy Sunday afternoon we took an adventure out to this place in the middle of nowhere. Motorcycles lined the front parking lot. Crazy busy but got seated right away. An attention grabbing burger brought us out here. One of the best in Iowa said the Des Moines register. I was excited to try. Hubby picked the B-town burger with fries which was featured in the paper. I picked the buffalo chicken philly with cottage cheese. The waitress had already walked away before we found the raves about the sweet potatoe fries. Our waitress was working the bar so she hurriedly took our order and actually had another waiter come back and check on us. Food took awhile because of the crowds of people. The decorations was lots of cowboy theme, ranch hand paintings and John deer things. Very family friendly. Could see a party room off the back. Also saw signs for dueling pianos so they have some good times here. We got the sweet potatoes fries first. Hot and yummy we went to work on those. Just short of me licking the sauce out of the little cup, very good! Sprinkled with powdered sugar. Our meals followed shortly. Hubby let me bite into the b-town burger. The Angus meat, jalapeno, cheese, onion ring, and toppings were good. I have to admit I had it built up in my head way more. Not sure what it was missing. Don't get me wrong, it was good, but lacking in something. However, the buffalo chicken philly. Served on a big hoagie bun with pickle spear. I actually ate it without the bun. The jalapeno spice was a perfect kick. All the buffalo sauce and peppers was perfect. I ate as much as I could. I shared it with the hubby and he really liked it more than his burger. Overall, if you have the time to take a drive or motorcycle ride it's a perfect scenic drive for a fun atmosphere and good food. There is a stage out back so I bet they have done live music to. read more

Hot beef sandwich was the special of the day, it definitely did not disappoint! Also got fried pickles to share, these were good also My parents wanted to take me there as they had tried the chicken strips on a prior visit. They were wowed and couldn't wait to return The old pictures were fun to look at. read more

Great time with family for a great meal. Has the pork tenderloin sandwich that was way too big to finish. Great service and friendly staff.

Please update Yelp! This place is closed on Monday and Tuesday. It's in the middle of nowhere!

Drove over from Blair looking forward to eating dinner and have drinks with friends. Walked in and sat down at the bar waiting for the host to come back. While waiting we overheard the bartender answer the phone rudely, and was rude to whomever called. "I don't know" then slammed down the phone. When young guy who was the host did come back he was very friendly. We asked if we could eat from the bar. He said sure and handed us menus. Another couple also asked and we're given menus. That's where the end of the good service ended. The bartender loudly said he wasn't serving us. So we proceeded to hand our menus back to the host and get our name on the waiting list. While this was happening I overheard a waitress order an espresso martini. The bartender made some rude comment to her being irritated like how dare she even order that. The waitress apologized and walked away. That was the line in the sand for us. There's lots of options out there to eat and so no need to watch some bartender be such an ass. I've been there several times over the years and think Ed and Ruth are pretty great... But based on other reviews about that same bartender doubt we'll make the drive over again. read more

Ribeye steak was outstanding, best I have ever had. Also recommend the French dip. Cold beers and great drinks.

Great place. Great food. You won't regret going to place in the middle of nowhere. Had the ribeye was excellent, son had a burger and boneless wings. All was great. We'll be back. read more

Asked to move in mid-bite. Lol! I can't believe it. The owner said that we need to move to accommodate a large table. This is after we waited our turn for an hour. He told us we could get our food to go. We were floored. A first for everything I guess. Food was ok. Can't believe his rude request. This place has been taken off our list. I get trying to make money, but when we are waiting like everybody else, others need to wait their turn too. read more

Worth the drive from Omaha. We were driving back from Carroll and stopped in. Sunny day with plenty of bikes out front and convertibles like us. I was fairly surprised with the beer selection. A lot of the "biker bars" I've been to stop at Bud heavy. They had a little bit of everything and both of us found things we liked. *Don't be worried about the "biker bar" image. Its a great place to ride to on a sunny day and the food is great. The bikers you'll see here aren't the ultra hard core and frequently scary type. Pretty sure I saw one high five a kid as they walked out. The food was well done and came out fairly quick. Our server checked in on us regularly and made sure we were well looked after. Next time want to get out with the top down...we'll be back! read more

Came with a reputation of a good burger and it did not disappoint! Totally worth the trip up from Council Bluffs!

Extremely good dinner. And craft drinks. Lovely drive out here. We have been maybe 7 times and each time has been excellent. Excellent burgers and prime rib. read more

We arrived here late on a weeknight. They had a decent crowd and the place looks nice inside. We ordered fried pickles and onion rings to start. Both were fine - typical fried fare. Next up entrees which included a ribeye, a new york strip and two burgers. My gf wanted a filet but we were told they were out of filets. Seems odd for a steak place to be out of steak. The ribeye was great - cooked perfect and very juicy. The baked potato had cooked way to long. It was basically mush. The new york was a hit and the burgers received the comment "just ok". Service was horrible. We had to wait for everything way to long for a half full restaurant. If you are hungry for a fairly priced steak this is a decent option. Unless they are out of meat that day. read more

The Twisted Tail Steakhouse & Saloon - Ribeye - Steakhouses Near Me - Logan, Iowa

I'm getting so I don't know what to think of this place. My wife and I stumbled across it a year and a half ago on a Sunday and fell in love with it. Came back a couple more times and those visits were also great. But now, with the last two visits, we're down to giving it just one more chance. My wife loves prime rib, so our last two visits have been on Saturdays for the special; I'm not a PR fan, so I get the sirloin dinner and I think that's where they fail. Don't get me wrong, the steak is great but only when it's on time and warm. In both of the last two visits we've had waitresses who have taken the order and then promptly forgotten us. After waiting a half hour to get our dinner or even to get our water refilled, it either takes another waitress noticing us sitting their bored and angry or else my chasing down the waitress to ask what's going on. In our visit a month and a half ago, Ruth (I think she's the owner) gave me a certificate for a free steak dinner after it arrived barely warm and she advised us to make reservations. We did that this time and we STILL saw people seated 20 minutes after we were who got their dinners first. After seeing our waitress take an order at the next table and then run off to enter it, I had to chase her down and tell her we'd been waiting 40 minutes. She said she'd check on it and sure enough, we got our dinners in two minutes. The surface of my steak was hot, but the interior was barely warm - it was pretty obvious it had been sitting awhile and was thrown on the grill just enough to get a sizzle. Our reservations were at 6:30 and it was busy. We've decided if we do Saturday again we'll go at 5 just to avoid the crowd and the overworked wait staff - the food is that good. But if I get a barely warm steak once more, that's the last time this Omaha couple makes the drive to Beebeetown. read more

Thank you for taking care of our large group! Your place is very inviting and fun. I was looking forward to an "Omaha Steak" and I ordered the filet. I was a little surprised by the price, $33 is big city prices! The steak was served cold and clammy. I was told it was cooked on a wood grill, but it must have sat a long time before it got to me. I would also say that you need a couple decent red wine choices to go with that steak. The Cab I had was terrible. read more

This place has been impressive from the stop sign outside I said WOW, this looks fun. It was, I tried the famous sweet potato fries, buffalo chicken Philly and the b top burger. I was very much in love with the sweet potato fries and the chicken Philly. I also tried a long route peanut butter porter that was very unique and fit into my mood for the day. I recommend each of these things as I had a good visit read more

Wish I could review the food here but we left hungry. Sadly after being seated immediately our party of 4 became invisible . We sat in the freezing cold main dining area for 35min while all other tables around us were waited on. The hostess made eyes contact briefly but failed to acknowledge us in any way. The attitude here is plain rude. read more

We thought it would be nice to take a drive to support small town local business so we made a reservation on Open Table, party of 4. They didn't have our reservation. When seated we were told there would be a longer than normal wait due to staffing, we understood, that happens. We sat at our table in the main area for over 30 minutes & watched as 3 tables, who came after us, be waited on, served drinks & sides. We sat with no water or acknowledgement, wondering & confused about being ignored. Maybe because we weren't "local" ourselves? We left and will not drive an hour to give Twisted Tail another chance. read more

First time here with a friend, rode our bikes up from the Harley dealership in pacific junction. Was a little windy but other than that , once inside the wait was a little more than expected. The wait staff was friendly and helpful though. Wasn't expecting the time it took from order to actually getting our food. Food was good, maybe next experience will be better. And I'm a military veteran. read more
