    My salad with beets.  Not particularly artful, but definitely fresh and tasty!
    Mandy C.

    I was born and raised a good country girl not far from Chambers and my family always loved this place. Papa and I went back to visit a couple weeks ago and stopped in again for lunch. So now that I'm a self-proclaimed city gal, I do agree that it's country. Large hardwood tables in a big open room with the buffet at one end. Decor is sparse but it's clean. I've never eaten anything off the menu, always buffet so can't comment on that part. The salad bar is huge, and everything appeared very fresh. They have BEETS, as well (IMO, you don't have a real salad bar unless you have beets in Indiana)! They also offer 2-3 different creamy salads (Papa's always been a big fan of the pea salad), and a soup or two. The hot bar offered fried, breaded pork tenderloins, fried chicken, salisbury steak and an assortment of sides like mashed potatoes, brown gravy, and mixed vegetables. Don't forget the bread and apple butter! They have thick cut white bread, wheat popover rolls and fried biscuits so you have a choice of mediums with which to slather that delightful spread onto! My plate consisted of a tenderloin, mashed potatoes and brown gravy along with some mixed veggies and a wheat roll with apple butter. I ate every last bite on that plate! Skipped dessert since it was lunch time, but they had a couple baked goods on the counter (a cake and ? cobbler)...they also have a soft serve ice cream machine which totally tempted me! If you're into clean/organic/vegan eating, this is not the place for you. It's country cooking for sure and butter/animal fat is used liberally. But if you're like me and you appreciate this kind of meal once in awhile, then check it out! It's a bargain; through the week the sign said they offer lunch pricing for dinner. Our waitress was friendly and efficient and made sure our glasses were always filled. Check it out sometime!

    Fried biscuits and homemade apple butter- with dinner... Or dessert... Or in my case, Both!

    Only old people go here. Probably because the food is extremely bland. It's very dated and could use a nice refresh.

    Excellent service and quality product reasonably priced easy in and out parking for street parking…read moreand the dining room is really neat with different chairs and boutique, decorations staff, which really accommodating. I learned that at this location you do not have to give your first name for an order as I did in the Terre Haute store, they insisted on having my first name in TH - they did not insisted on giving them my name at this Bloomington. OK she said no we don't need that. We never ask for that so very odd. The same company different policies. The donut is scrumptious. The maple pecan is what I got. It is really good fresh quality made throughout the day until they close. It's worth a try if you've never tried a parlor donut.

    Parlor doughnuts is one of my go to study spots as I live just down the street. Great vibe in there…read moreand a great place to study, they have a small room with a good amount of tables and usually can get a spot. Their donuts are good I like the variety of flavors but nothing too special. However, the minis with raspberry filling are the best things ever. I would eat them everyday if I could. Their coffee is good but average, I wish it was a little stronger. The energizers are a nice addition to the menu, the tropical one was a nice flavor. The service could be much better. Employees seem to hate their jobs and are not very friendly to be honest. The mini donuts are whats giving this place a 4 star from me
