A fair copy of "homemade style" food at a reasonable price. Basic menu, with some some selection of the sides, and daily specials. The staff seems few in number and at busy times this can be a problem. Seating is somewhat communal in nature so you may end up sitting next to some you know know -- s...
Good place to hop in for a laid back lunch. The food is fine and reasonable in price but with those big TV a bit too loud. Also not a good place for anyone under 13 because of noise annd type of customer. The staff has always been friendly and knowledgable. I love the stuffed breadsticks -- they...
I love KFC -- or at least I did until this one messed up our order 5 out of the last 6 times we've visited. They only take cash and the staff seems very clueless about the product and how to go about serving it. Drive on by, don't bother stopping.
I may have Irish ancestors, but I don't particularly care for Irish food or alcohol. I found it noisy, not really the best place for a romantic night out in any sense. Very very popular around St. Patrick's Day and on weekends during the regular school year.
The little description next to it on this web page says "donut shop" -- this is not a donut shop. Nor is it a "cafe" really. It is a cafeteria -- you order and take your food on a try to pay for it then find a place to sit. The staff is friendly but a bit over anxious to pick up after you so don'...
It is a Denny's, much like other Denny's. The last few times I've been there, however, the staff seemed spaced -- forget she'd already took our order, messed things up on the order. They also could set the thermostat up about two degrees higher, my companion complained he was cold. One of the few ...
A sandwich shop, definately a sandwich shop. Nice for a quick lunch, they also deliever. Nothing particular special though these sandwiches are better than the chains of Subway and Blimpies by a long shot. Small dining area inside so I recommend getting it to go.
This is one of the fancier restaurants in Bloomington. Save it for special events. The food is, well, upper class and thus rather limited in selection and pricey. But the service and the atmosphere is also part of the cost. A good friendly staff, I strongly recommend reservations.
I'll go here if my friends want to, but personally I prefer Pizza Hut or even, I can't believe I'm saying this, Papa John's. I don't like the pizza here, something about the sauce I just dislike. The other food is good, but for a pizza place to have poor pizza is silly. Can be very noisy with that...
Just like all the other Applebees in America, this one is smoke from and has interesting items on the walls. The best times to go are off hours -- after 1PM for lunch and after 7PM for dinner during the week; weekends are tricker. Standards are good and the menu changes slightly each month or so. ...
The biggest problem with "Crazy Horse" is the smoking -- it can destroy your meal to be sitting near another table smoking and the high semi-private booths do nothing to keepout smoke. The food is good and I've always found the staff friendly and eager to please.
