With the Men's College World Series in town, NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning visited a local restaurant with his family here in Council Bluffs on Thursday evening.
Manning and his family were in town for a baseball tournament near town (Manning is also an alum of Tennessee, who plays Florida State on Friday evening in the Men's College World Series) and afterward ate locally at Caddy’s Kitchen and Cocktails in a private area of the restaurant.
“We had a very special guest last night,” Caddy’s Kitchen and Cocktails said in a Facebook post. “Peyton Manning reserved our private dining room for his son’s baseball team. If our party room is good enough for a hall of fame quarterback perhaps you’ll like it too.”
The reservation was put in a different family member’s name, thus the restaurant staff was more than surprised when they saw Manning enter.

However, being in the middle of the dinner rush, there were some immediate challenges to hosting the NFL great, but the staff was more than prepared.
“We didn’t know until about the last minute so we were shocked when we saw him,” Caddy’s general manager Brad Sala said. “He did have to run through the dinner rush and some people did spot him out, but we escorted him and his family to our private dining room and they had a nice time here.”
Manning played in the NFL for 18 seasons, 14 seasons with the Indianapolis Colts and his final four seasons were with the Denver Broncos. Manning won a Super Bowl with each team and was awarded the NFL’s MVP award five times.
