Tobey Jack's Mineola Steak House

Conveniently located just off the Wabash bike trail, this is the go to destination for the legendary Thursday night Taco bike ride out of Omaha (approximately 20 mile one-way bike ride from Omaha to Mineola). For those who are just want to get down there and eat without the bike ride. It is still about a good 20 minute drive south of Council Bluffs off of route 29. Street parking is available. Named for a beloved pet, pets are allowed in the outdoor seating area.Offering both indoor and outdoor dining area. The hours are now limited: lunch 11-1:30, they now close for the afternoon and then reopens-about 5 PM for dinner. Check hours as they are prone to seasonal fluctuations. They are now also closed on Mondays.This is a very casual, old fashion diner type experience with a full bar. They occasionally have live music in the outside patio area. This destination has been there for decades and not only attract bike trail enthusiasts, but steel horse riders as well!Service is always super pleasant and helpful, and also very casual. Grab your menu, order at the counter, and it's brought out to where you're seated. If you need refills, bring it up to the bar and they'll take care of you. There is a more limited lunch menu and a larger menu for the dinner hours. They have an awesome tenderloin sandwich, and we just love their appetizers that will give you your fried food fix, including the garlic mushrooms, cauliflower, and really great onion rings. Also a recommended location to get your fix for a Barburger, with any combination of toppings, you desire!Want to get out of downtown and look at some pretty farm fields, check out Tobey Jack's for a very laid-back casual time with great food.

explored the outer area of rhe work zone and found a jewel in the foot hills a little out of the way but service food and atmosphere was well worth it a real pedelers stop since it right on the path of the cyclers burger fries and beverage were great service was better the bartendr talked and was very nice Thanks for the service

Grrrreat food and service. Owners are always and superbly thinking of their customers. Very homey feel, which I love.

I arrived by bike from Omaha a few minutes before their 2pm midday shutdown, but the owner was nice enough to serve me anyway, which really saved the day. Thank you Bill!I had the pork tenderloin and it was delicious; freshly made, moist and tender with the prefect chicken fried steak style coating. The fries were perfect but the serving was so large I had to leave some behind. By the way I have some big news about Mineola, there's a new stop sign on the main drag through town!

Great place. Wonderful food. The best fried chicken in Iowa. Classic steakhouse. They do breakfast on the weekends and have a full bar. Very nice service. Great atmosphere. Try their homemade potato chips. We've never ordered anything we didn't like and we we eat here often.

Not a ton of options for vegetarians. I showed up here for the taco ride (which if you haven't done, you definitely gotta!!) and it was great! Nice and spacious outdoor seating. The wait staff is nice and helpful even during the business of taco Thursday.

We have been to Toby Jacks once before Covid. Couldn't wait to go back. We did today and boy what great service. With the games going on , the art tour and regular customers. Everyone worked together as a team to get the food and drinks out on a timely manner. Great service and friendly staff!! Can't wait to go back!! Great job!! Highly recommend!!

The food is always great at Tobey Jacks! Staff is friendly and helpful. It is a surprise to find such a nice place out in the country. Shrimp is my favorite.

Service was wonderful. Food was edible, I had chicken fried steak, taste like frozen chicken fried steak from store. Significant other got prime rib (I tried) it was lacking in flavor. I wouldn't consider this a "steak house".

Stopped in with the wife for an early supper on a whim yesterday. I ordered the Whiskey Steak, medium rare. The chef hit it right on the nose, perfectly cooked medium rare. More often than not places have trouble getting that precision especially on an 8oz piece of steak. I was impressed. The wife got the Chicken Fried Steak which she said was very tasty (I agree, I got a bite or two). Our server was attentive, but hey, we were the only ones in there for our entire meal. Only slight negative was the appetizer. We got the breaded mushrooms, but they were all overly watery in the breading. Might just be my preference.Bottomline, was a good meal. Intend on going back soon to try another steak.
