Our Story

The delicious treat you deserve after a long day at work

Doozie's Council Bluffs

About Us

Our old fashion values come through in preparing our food and ice cream – hand crafting every item on the menu and always using local, simple products when doing so. You’ll taste the difference!

Just a 15-minute drive from downtown Omaha, you’ll find us near Lake Manawa at the corner of S 11th Street and Veterans Memorial Highway. We offer a dining area with additional patio seating, a drive-thru window to place and pick up orders, and plenty to eat – so come hungry and ready to spend a “doozie” of a day in our beautiful lakeside community!

Since

We’re honored to be voted the Unleash CB’s best burger in Council Bluffs and Pottawattamie County! Thank you for voting, we couldn’t do this without you!

Doozie's Famous Ice Cream

We offer 16 different homemade ice cream flavors that get rotated on a daily basis. We only use the highest quality of 14% butterfat and other ingredients when making our ice cream which makes our creamy, delicious ice cream stand out from any other.

Mouth-Watering Burgers

We only use fresh, locally sourced, choice meat that’s ground daily and hand-pressed into 5 oz. patties, available as a single, double, or triple burger. Accompanied with fresh vegetables and our homemade Doozie Sauce, our juicy burgers are sure to have you coming back

Our Founders, Don and Susie Larsen, are Manawa locals who are truly immersed into this tight knit community and want to provide an ever-lasting impression of a “doozie” of a time spent here. Come see why everybody loves Doozie’s!

Excellent ice cream, great customer service. I always get the “Sinful Chocolate”, a creamy delicious dark chocolate ice cream. I wish this place was open year around!

First time here. Passing through. Saw reviews and decided to go. Also went for the dinner, sitting inside. Ordered a couple of kids meals and hamburgers. Hamburgers were decently cooked and above average size. Fries were crispy and generous. Ended with a couple of ice creams and they were very rich and creamy.

Big, beautiful, juicy cheeseburgers. Excellent hand breaded onion rings. Great ice cream.

I don’t know how many times I came here just for ice cream before trying the burger and fries but it was too many! With ice cream that good I would not have expected much out of the food, but it is all incredible! Doozies is absolutely the best place to go for a burger, fries and ice cream in Council Bluffs. Now I only go to Culver’s in the winter.
