    Game Day Grill Menu - Front
    Honest 1.

    So you move downstate from the Chicagoland area to a super small town outside Bloomington and what are the chances the couple restaurants in that small town are outstanding for what they offer? Well, Game Day Grill, is one of those local places that simply does what they set out to do - "relaxed sports bar in a small town" - exceptionally well! A nicely appointed, casual sports bar with the typical TV's playing sports, some video games like Golden Tee, darts and pinball, in addition to a "video gaming/gambling area" if you're into that. Been there a couple times, both on weekends, with a decent crowd. Our first server; Ashley, was wonderful. Hustling around the room, but super gracious to explain their menu and offer up some popular selections. Second time, we had Liz, who was busy as well, but also provided great service. I'm giving this place 5 stars for a variety of reasons. One this place excels at what it sets out to do. 1) Better than average food & better than what you'd honestly expect a small town restaurant to plate & serve. 2) Portion sizes are great & Pricing for what you get is amazingly cheap! 3) Everything you'd expect a small town sports bar to be with daily/weekly specials and even an outdoor patio if you choose to sit out back and enjoy the weather. 4)Comfortable location - come as you are, with down to earth, friendly people here. Overall, you can't go wrong with their Burgers or Wings and the must order for families or bigger parties is the Grand Slam Sampler - a huge salted pretzel with your choice of 3 other appetizers. Cheese Curds & Fried Pickles are solid. I know they also have some BBQ that I'm yet to try but hear is good as well. If you're in the area, this place is a must if you're looking for a laid back spot/sports bar with cheap food & drinks! A+!

    The front door, you'll want to come back again!

    What an surprise. We just happened to be passing through and were looking for something to eat and Game Day Grill popped up as a recommendation. We thought it was off to see so many positive reviews until we walked through the door. Ambiance was great, busy for the day and time with lots of good times being had. Staff were truly amazing. Prompt, attentive, with a desire to see you get what you wanted. We had a burger, some wings, and a brisket sandwich. Ask were very good, the kind of good that brings you back time and again. I'd definitely recommend, even if it's a little out of your way.

    We come here all the time and it's always great! The employees are very kind and do their best to make sure everyone is happy! The food was delicious! Although the music was a bit loud today for some reason.

    Wings.  Flats only!

    Awesome food. Kids love the tots. And the smoked wings when they have them are to die for. You will not be disappointed.

    We were here on a Thursday night because Lil Beaver was packed up. There was a retirement party…read moregoing on, so it was hard to know where you could and could not sit. We sat at a table in the general area by the pool table, but no servers ever came by so we moved over to the bar area. I was excited to see the "pour your own" feature on the wall, that was a cool thing. However, when asking our server what Fruit Sour beers they had, I was informed that they don't have IPA or "the like"...which was totally confusing given the beer machine on the wall that was all IPA and craft beers. Did she mean cans? Ehh I don't know. But I digress... Food was ok. The cheese curds were fantastic. We received a water in a dirty glass that had an old soda stain on the bottom - so that was gross. Burger was good but on the smaller side. Service was not good, though I suspect it was because they were severely understaffed. A bartender has no business serving tables with a retirement party going on and a non stop line at the bar. No one was helping her whatsoever and it had to of been overwhelming. Not to mention one of the employees kept walking by and wiping his nose with his hand/forearm so that was pretty gross. All in all, I hear locals really like this place but also that the service seems to be the consistent negative on it. I'd try it again for sure, but honestly, between the water glass/nose wiping and lack of appropriate staffing - that's usually my trifecta to avoid...so it would be a last choice for me.

    Some good local beer which charge by the pump like a gas station and basic good cheap bar food…read moremakes this a decent try. However if you're eating outside in the summer Beware of the biting ants as they are a killer if you are wearing sandals or flip flops
