    I came in here twice for dinner while staying at the holiday inn. The first visit the service was slow, haphazard and the food was just ok. I'm so glad we came back because the service was so much better. The food was still ok, but it was the service that made the visit. It's always the people that make a spot good. While here i had the filet tip gnocchi, spinach and artichoke dip, shrimp and scallop scampi and the purple haze mojito. The dip was the best item hands down. Our server the thurs night was amazing and i feel terrible in can't remember her name but she said shes an emt and works 3 jobs. Pay her more please. She's amazing.

    Baxters Salad

    Baxter's is one of the best restaurants in the Blm/Normal Area! My boyfriend and I always choose Baxter's for special occasions because the food and service is consistently great. The Ribeye, Calamari, Crab and Shrimp Alfredo, and the Gooey Butter Cake are our favorites.

    We held the rehearsal dinner for our wedding at Baxter's and could not be more pleased with our decision! Paige was super easy to work with over email and even made time to meet with us in person. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. The space was perfect for our number of guests and the staff hosting our event were very professional and helpful. We also had a cash bar which worked perfectly for our guests. The staff took lots of pictures of our group and went above and beyond! We are so happy we chose Baxter's for our rehearsal dinner and highly recommend them!

    Au Gratin potatoes - excellent
    Simon K.

    The Thai Shrimp appetizer was great as always. I also love the salad it rests on with diced mango chutney sprinkled throughout. The stuffed mushrooms were not good this time. A slightly odd flavor and also a grittiness to the sauce. The Bacon Bourbon Filet was great with a nice demi-glace sauce and crispy onions on top. The ribeye was too sinuey this time. Next time I'll go for the filet mignon (which by the way comes bacon wrapped by default). The Au Gratin potatoes were excellent! Nice cheesy and saucy. The butter cake was pretty good. It's a very thin slice and slightly gooey, but tastes great. It comes with chocolate ice cream. Next time I'll ask for vanilla. And possibly ask for a thicker slice of cake. The coffee was average.

    Smothered Grilled Chicken
    John S.

    Tonight I had a carry-out order of the Smothered Grilled Chicken tonight (minus broccoli because yuck). Upon arrival to the restaurant, my order was brought out quickly. The food was SUPER solid. The chicken was cooked like perfectly (?) which honestly surprised me. It was seasoned quite well and the creamy garlic/mushroom sauce, Gouda, and bacon on top were superb flavor compliments. The rolls were delicious too - came with a garlic butter to spread on them. 9.2/10. Really recommend.

    Ribeye

    It was last Thursday, mid-afternoon, Mom and I went to Baxter's American Grille. I chose the Ribeye with French Fries as my main dish. Taste wise, the dish was smokey and tender in the meat department. For the side dish, eat it while there is warmth before the taste leaves you with dullness. Service from that day was lackluster because of the long waits and miscommunication of our appetizer being our main dish. A renovation is deeply needed for Baxter's American Grille layout and walls. It feels outdated and a smell lingers on.

    Blackberry Bourbon Smash
    Dennis F.

    1st off for this to be attached to the Holiday Inn Express & Suites gotta give a credit didn't have to walk outside to get access to it. I truly enjoyed the Atmosphere it gave you an upscale kind of fill but also a local bar setting within it. I Sad at the bar to get a outlook of what they were offering a variety of libations on display and I selected the BlackBerry bourbon smash something that I had on the weekend cruise line many times before and this was a decent one. Then I ordered the drunken mushrooms and the prime rib sliders which were good something that I wasn't expecting but truly a good appetizer is and I wound up with the sticky ribs a North Carolina barbecue mustard based sauce ribs were good also. If you are in the area make sure that you give them a try stop by and experience something different.

    Ribeye steak.
    Gary S.

    Ribeye steak was well prepared, had great flavor as well did the baked potato. We really enjoy the setting, music was s moderate not to loud.

    Service Drinks Food -- I come to Bloomington often for business and this is the best experience I've ever had. I met with a group of coworkers and was very happy with the experience. Extra that I didn't have to leave the hotel to eat here! We ordered the spinach and artichoke dip and drunken mushrooms appetizers and they were excellent! I ordered the shrimp and scallop scampi as my meal and I was impressed by the freshness and the PERFECT cook on the shrimp and the extra large and very sweet scallops. Our server was friendly and on top of it and the food.... Whoa buddy. Yea, I'm coming back.

    Very impressive dinner spot! We came here for a wedding and stayed at Holiday inn, this restaurant is just next door. It is perfect for a nice dinner after a long flight. The restaurant looks pretty nice with great interior decorations. I ordered a miso glazed salmon, my husband had a prime steak, both uncle and mom had pretzel bun burgers, and dad ordered a salad. All of us enjoyed our foods, we also loved our wine. It is a nice place for a date, business dinner or family hangout. Plus the service is nice too.

A huge drink menu welcome us and we…read morehad the Beyond jalapeño cornbread for a starter, which proved to be quite yummy and not hot at all. We decided to go with the rustic pizzas that were delicious and unusual: harmony, Korean, chicken and loaded supreme. The crust tasted like it was from a woodfired oven and the Korean chicken pizza was so unusual and tasty with kimchi and pickled shiitake. The fresh from the forest mushroom side dish they gave us a special treat to us was quite a delicacy. Even the farm to table items they have for sale when you walk in to take home are a treat, Especially the homemade marshmallows! Ended with dessert of a fresh orange olive oil cake with just tremendous flavor and blood orange on the side and orange marmalade on the cake. It served exquisitely with a side of homemade ice cream that was to die for. We can't wait to come back! Our waitress, Lupe, treated us like family and was incredibly personal and warm. Put this on your must visit List.

We started with the sashimi plate. The fish was fresh- including tuna, salmon, shrimp- placed over small celery bites. A variety of sauces were dotted around the plate's edge. The dish would have benefited from some ginger and more sauce. Our entrees included Pork Coppa Ramen- which was a solid dish- strong beef broth flavor and the sambal (chili sauce) -a few cents extra- added a good depth of flavor. The fish bowl- tuna, salmon- with rice, pickled veggies, and gim (Korean seaweed) was tasty. It was even tasty the next day cold out of the fridge. Our server Jack did a nice job- we sampled their roasted carrots- and they were actually our favorite bite. We also had the potato graten and they were tasty- but could have been easily skipped with our Asian dinner vibe. The restaurant has a great eclectic historical vibe and was busy on a Friday night, but still felt spacious. The drink menu is a good selection- we enjoyed wine with dinner (a solid Pinot noir). I would definitely go back to have the pizza- which looked delicious at a couple of the neighboring tables. This is a great date night venue or girls night out.

My wife had the loaded potato salad, asparagus, and broccoli which she enjoyed. My son had the Steak Sliders with the potato salad which he really enjoyed.
