Family-Owned Restaurant Serving Fresh, Scratch-Made Meals in Council Bluffs
Tish's Restaurant has been a beloved fixture in the Council Bluffs and Omaha area since 1980, when Steve and Kathy Tisher opened their first seasonal walk-up window. Over four decades, we've grown into a full-service restaurant renowned for our scratch-made recipes, fresh ingredients, and commitment to quality. Our menu features hand-cut steaks, fresh-ground gourmet hamburgers, homemade sauces, and daily-prepared soups, all crafted with the same care that defined our humble beginnings. The restaurant's spacious layout includes a banquet room for events up to 100 guests and a heated patio for seasonal outdoor dining.Our signature margaritas and martinis complement our extensive food offerings, while our proximity to major attractions like the Casinos and Iowa West Sports Complex makes us a convenient destination for both locals and visitors. Our team takes pride in maintaining the standards established by our founders, ensuring every guest experiences the same exceptional service and culinary excellence that have defined Tish's for generations.
