New American Restaurants near Sergeant Bluff, IA

“So I am in Sioux City for a business trip and I really wanted to experience the local fare & flavor of Sioux City. Well there is no better place to go to for that hospitality and local business owned operation than Kate's! I am planning to go back for a second trip this week and I want to ask for Kate's signature food to be able to give a review on some of their favorites. But just on first approach, it is in the most wonderful corridor in Sioux City it has that 1950s hometown feel to it. Inside the restaurant it is a cozy environment that is so welcoming to its patrons. It is clean, well decorated and inviting. Please note this is a cash or check only operation so no credit cards!“

“Had always wanted to try Mateo Kitchen since it is the only Filipino restaurant around and was finally able to make it out there. We started with the tteokbkki and we couldn’t finish with how many there were! It was something new to try and I’m so glad I did, I will definitely be getting it again. I got the pancit malabon and it was juuuuust right. The noodles were thinner than what I thought, but with how many toppings there were I’m glad they were thin otherwise it would’ve been too much. Friend got the beef stew…that didn’t look like traditional stew?¿?¿ but she said it was phenomenal nonetheless. She also had the milk free honeydew boba tea that I’m jealous I didn’t get. I just love those lil boba pearls! I love that Siouxland has this restaurant to showcase the diversity we have. Can’t recommend it enough!“

“Stepping into the Diving Elk, you feel sophisticated. This gem is one of Sioux City's best as far as restaurants and bars go in the area with an evolving, seasonal menu that will make you want to try something new every time you visit! Don't sleep on the classics like the truffle fries and brussel sprouts though, there's a reason those always stay. Also try out their weekend specials! After your visit, you'll know why this place consistently has a "Siouxland's Best Bar Tender" nominee. They are experts in their craft with an incredible selection of cocktails and craft beers. Sioux City is lucky to have such a trendy, vibrant spot for the foodies out here.“

“Awesome little coffee shop/sandwich and soup place! As a new transplant to Sioux City, I figured I would try to explore some of the restaurants right across the border in Nebraska.Can’t say I drink much coffee, so can’t rate this place on that — but stopped in for lunch & got a wrap with a bowl of soup…both were amazing!I also found out when I went there — again, out of towner — that they have a soup and salad bar for $9.99 (I believe) — $7.99 special price on Mondays. The salad bar looked LOADED with options from what I saw & they had two fresh soups on there in kettles.Highly recommend this place — it’s a MUCH better alternative to a place like Panera taste-wise and you are supporting a small business — how can you go wrong?“

“I was only able to get here once before they closed due to the construction of the hotel. Food was OK, but the waitress was ho-hum. I'll give it a 4 star for now, but I plan on giving it another go once they reopen and give them a fair review.“

“The service was fantastic, the food was….okay. We were expecting a little more pizazz for the price. It was nice to have such a large selection of vegan and plant based options, even it it was a bit underwhelming. The wasabi has more of a kick than most restaurants we’ve tried so that was a plus. Nice ambiance “

“4.0 While a nice crispy waffle, are definitely at best cornmeal waffles. Barely a taste of cornmeal, definitely not cornbread waffles. The bell peppers are red and the skins are all that's there, surmising the flesh disintegrated because so they used frozen chopped. No jalapeno at all that I could taste or see. The andouille was diced way too small, the same amount but a larger dice would have added to the flavor combo. The chicken was prepared perfectly. The gravy was nice and light and didn't compete with the syrup. Syrup didn't come across with a bourbon caramel taste but it was a nice compliment to all the other seasonings. I'll come again and try something new. I had a lovely New Zealand Monkey Bay Sauvignon Blanc.“
