This is a fun little diner on the south end of Bloomington. I went there to try out their breakfast during a snowstorm, and the waitress described being in the restaurant at the time like being in a snow globe. I think she was right. The staff are all very friendly and take care of you while you're there. The menu is a little confusing, so it might take a minute to figure out how to navigate it and understand what exactly comes with this or that type of meal. The food was good, though you can probably tell in the photos that the English muffins were overcooked and the omelette was a bit dry. This might be due to the breakfast rush starting to slow down, but the pancake was one of the best I've had in a long time. They can accommodate small or large parties and get the food out pretty fast. read more

What a fantastic diamond experience. You're looking for a diner you better stop here. As soon as I pulled in, and I saw the sheriff deputy's leaving I knew this was the local place to stop. Extremely friendly waitress, taking care of the whole place by herself. About 10 tables on an early Tuesday morning. Everything is cooked order of fresh bread. You can't go around here the biscuits and gravy are fantastic and the bacon nice and crispy. Stop by here for sure if you wanna get breakfast. read more

I visited family in Bloomington and we got Cloverleaf for breakfast before we drove back to Cincinnati. The food is soooooo delicious and you get great portions for the price! The service was a teeny bit slow but that's to be expected on a busy Sunday morning, so I'm not knocking them for that. The restaurant had a lovely diner atmosphere and I was very happy with everything! read more

Decent, busy place, American food, reminds you of what Denny's once was-- back when they could cook. Specializes in breakfasts, although there are many standards. Has booths, 4x tables, and these tables can be pushed together for larger gatherings. It's noisy, and the food is good. Fresh ingredients, and the chefs seem to know how to do short-order cooking quickly, efficiently, and with good flavors. This is not miraculous, it's good for a meal, maybe not a date, and the prices are pretty reasonable. Don't expect gourmet, but it's still great *American* food that's quick and pretty good. read more

Went to Cloverleaf this evening for dinner. I noted to Yelp that the hours have changed and they are now open until 7:00PM. They had tried evening hours before, changed their mind, and now they're back. It wasn't crowded which is a shame because it's a terrific late night option on the south side of town, and those are few and far between. Typical diner atmosphere, pricing and selections. I'd give 4 stars for breakfast as well, but this happens to be an evening review. They have great crowds in the morning pretty much every day. Service was great - only one server working but she was very friendly and attentive. Refills were quick, food was quick to our table. We usually are trying to get in and out, so this is a great option for us. We shared onion rings (very good) for an appetizer. Wife had the western omelette with has browns and toast. Son had Belt Stretcher with eggs over easy, bacon (a ton of bacon), hash browns and toast plus an order of French toast. He loves their French toast. I usually order breakfast but went wild and ventured to order breaded chicken strips with double fries. I did it because it's what I had at a different restaurant last night and didn't like them there, but these were great. Hot, crispy, and plenty of them. The fries were great - maybe not the healthiest option to go double fries, but I wanted them. Maybe that New Year's resolution can start next week. As always a great experience, hope they keep the early evening hours going because it's a great option read more

Cloverleaf Restaurant - Biscuits and Gravy Fried Potatoes Bacon 2 Pancakes Fried Potatoes - American Near Me - Bloomington, Indiana

I have been coming to Cloverleaf for breakfast for at least 10 years. The menu has changed a bit, the owners have changed, but the friendly staff and locals are a mainstay. If you want solid comfort food at a good price this is a good place. My go-to is #4 The Leaf - I truly dig the biscuits and gravy. read more

Quite possibly the best breakfast/brunch place in town. Their Leaf meal is the best deal to get, where you get your choice of meat, eggs, hash browns AND biscuits & gravy - and wow, was it ever amazing and tasty!! The service is friendly and very fast too. The ambiance gives off vibes as if you're in the South - how cool! I am definitely coming back here when I get the chance. read more

First of all the food is so good but could be improved. There is always room for improvement. It's a really cozy place bustling with locals. And to put it all together the staff is great and they get your food out quick. read more

Good comfort food and excellent service! It's our go to for a home cooked style meal with a comfy atmosphere!

After just getting into the groove of dining out again, I've been back to Cloverleaf a couple of times. I had memories of that great little diner with the really good food and the great menu! And now! The food is... fine. The menu is... fine. The 3.5% surcharge if you use a card - stinks. If you want to save a little, take cash. They now pass along their merchant cost for debit/credit cards instead of just raising their prices a little. On a previous visit I had a turkey manhattan as the beef is no longer on the menu. It used to be a favorite and it used to be fantastic! The turkey is... fine. If you're near one, you'll probably enjoy your meal. If you're elsewhere, consider other options, especially those downtown. And if you want a roast beef manhattan like I do, head for the B-Town Diner. They still serve it! read more

Fast and greasy! Great service. Average food. My eggs are always done correctly so that's a plus!

Very nice little place, just walk in and sit yourself, friendly and quick service, happy to find this place, don't need to pay high prices for good quality food! read more

Took us over an hour to get food, while watching 3 tables of people that came in after us eat. We ordered nothing fancy, nothing special order. Just bacon, eggs, etc. We were told that the kitchen was backed up twice. At the hour and ten min mark when the third excuse about the kitchen came it was training new people. I then ask are they all training on only our food because everyone in this section that arrived after us is eating... Miraculously, our food appeared two minutes later and tasted like it had been under a heat lamp for a week!!! Do yourself a favor and skip it!!! read more

One of the BEST here in Bloomington with an affordable price! We love DINERS and are regulars here now! There are specials everyday and a large menu of all favorites for anyone! The staff is wonderful, friendly, and informative with a great atmosphere! read more

I love this place. When I'm thinking of a good, old school breakfast restaurant, this is exactly what pops int my head. Good food, great service, damn near perfect! read more

Classic neighborhood diner popular with retirees and cops. They are open super early (at 5) every day. Friendly staff.

This place is excellent! They've modified their hours (for the better) but you might want to call ahead to make sure. We were getting a late start but delicious breakfast served all day. Couldn't go wrong deciding to eat here! We're looking forward to coming back... read more

This is the best location. They are often very busy in the morning, but it's a wonderful experience. Servers are kind and on top of it. Food is awesome. I normally get a bacon sandwich on white because I LOVE their bacon. It's the best bacon in B-town in my opinion. You may have to wait for seating if you come on a busy day (especially Saturday), but it's worth it. :) read more

Today was my second time eating here. Both times the food was tasty, served remarkably fast, reasonably priced and very good going down. Unfortunately, it came out the other end Much too fast. Both times. read more

Really enjoyed our brunch! We were visiting Lake Monroe from out of state and saw the reviews in this place and thought we'd try it. It was great! Hubby had the tenderloin breakfast #9 and said it was delicious. Tenderloin was melt in your mouth good. Opt for the 3D fried potatoes instead of hash browns. The eggs were cooked perfectly and toast was liberally buttered. Fantastic and delicious! I had the #13 skillet. Very tasty and not over cooked like many scrambled skillets. We both had 1/2 biscuits and gravy - also delicious! Not salty so you can add your own to taste and also pepper. Makes it perfect for both of us! We will definitely be back when we are here next time! Oh and our server was absolutely lovely and very attentive despite having a ton of tables and running around like crazy. She was working so hard but always smiling! She did take a minute to chat to our toddler very sweetly, which was so kind since the place was so busy! read more

Little diner out past South high school. Pros: (1) Large restaurant that makes it easy to get seating without any wait (2) Affordable Prices (3) Good and Friendly Service Cons: (1) Food quality. It was all kind of blah. Nothing memorable at all. The hash browns were actually not good at all, which seems hard to do. (2) You come out smelling like oil. I hate that in a restaurant. At the end of the day I would probably go to Denny's before Cloverleaf. read more

This is at their southside location, they have another location on the westside of town. I enjoyed the B-Town burger VERY much. It was juicy, but not greasy. The bun was fresh and toasted perfectly. The breaded onions were a great addition. The fries (not included, but well worth the additional $3) were hot and plentiful. The slaw, which is included, was just the way I like it, dressing was more milk based than mayo. Overall, I would highly recommend this location of Cloverleaf. Service was very quick, too was fantastic and my server was sooooo nice. They only let down of today's experience was they had already run out of pie by the time I came in. Next time... read more

Awesome food and excellent service! One of the best breakfast in Bloomington. Good food at affordable prices.

Met the owners during our stay in Bloomington! Definitely needed to support local during this pandemic. We could tell how much their community supports them by the amount of people are still coming to eat! Our food was delicious and the staff is amazing. Will return in the future. read more

Cloverleaf Restaurant - Clean, yummy, and beautiful murals all over. - American Near Me - Bloomington, Indiana

Pretty decent, seat yourself location, place was hopping at 10 am on a Thursday seems like they have a lot of local action going on. Server hit us up as soon as we came in gave us some time with the menus food was out within ten minutes. Got the ultimate omelette with a side of sausage, brother got the egg sandwich was pretty good but english muffin needed more toasting. Coffee was decent and price point is excellent. Menu is huge and portions are ample, the also sell cakes and pies to go. This was pretty good for what it is, if I wanted a cheap breakfast meal again I wouldn't hesitate to hit this up. read more

Although the food is excellent and the service is usually quick, the quality of the service has gone down dramatically. It seems like most of the servers have adopted a bad habit of dropping off the food and literally running away without asking if anything else is needed. Condiments? Coffee? It's bizarre and it's done whether they are busy or not. read more

Great portions, Good food. Fast service. Reasonable prices. Only 4 stars because of uncomfortable seats n small tables

I guess the locals love this place as it was packed. This SoCal guy would say it's on par with Denny's. Would not return. Server #1 was great though. read more

New owners have completely ruined this once great dining experience. Running off staff who have been there for years. Been going every Saturday since it was located across the highway. Unfortunately I won't be going back! Very sad...this posting was for Westside location. My apologies read more

We went there after doing our laundry at Zens. We thought it would be a great place to eat a breakfast foe lunch. It was hot and stuffy in there. We sat ourselves... the tables were disgusting... the waitress did not even look at us.. she turned her back on us when taking our order.... I asked for coffee which came at the end of my meal... the bathrooms were disgusting..... and I feel if you are going to be a waitress look presentable like wash your hair ... tuck ur shirt in do not look as greasy as the place you work in read more

Opens early and police eat here. That's always a winner for me. The waitresses are super and breakfast is always plate-lickin' good.

Cloverleaf is probably my most favorite local restaurant in Bloomington. We may be bias because we live right around the corner, but that doesn't change the fact that this place delivers. The restaurant has provided consistently delicious food without any complaints and I'm pleased every time I come in. Whether you want breakfast, lunch, or a down-home dinner, Cloverleaf has you covered. In fact, this restaurant has gotten me to enjoy breakfast again. Cloverleaf is usually busy on the weekends, but the wait staff are always friendly and upbeat. Does the restaurant deliver five-star quality? Maybe not, but that's not what they're trying to do. Cloverleaf definitely offers service with a smile and never fails to provide a delicious meal at an affordable price. read more

Probably a hidden townie favorite tucked on the south side of Bloomington. I would recommend any of the omelets or pancakes. Great place for morning brunch if you're looking to expand outside of other classics like Village Deli or Quaff on. Food comes out fast and hot, despite how busy it can be sometimes! read more

I love this place. If you like crispy corned beef hash, this is the place for you. On top of good food, the prices are very reasonable. The restaurant doesn't look that fancy, but whenever we come to Bloomington, we always try and enjoy a Cloverleaf breakfast. Yum. read more
