    Lennie's Original sandwich
    Cassie T.

    Right on Kirkwood. Clean, friendly and prompt service. We picked this restaurant wanting healthier food options passing through town. Diners seemed more affluent and menu prices on higher side. Our kids unfortunately didn't like the grilled cheese probably because it wasn't highly processed or buttered which is a good thing nor the mandarin oranges it came with. Kids were likely overstimulated from our travels. I did try their foods and could see why they didn't take to it at first. Didn't taste bad by any means. Husband liked his sandwich the Lennie Original that has roast beef, bacon, lettuce, mayo, marinated red onions, tomato, and mozzarella on house bread. I opted for the soup of the day, the Hungarian Mushroom soup, never having something like that before. It was a smidge heavy on the salt for me but again I'm sensitive to salt having cutting it down in my diet. It was a very flavorful soup with dill and other seasonings. The salad didn't really do much for me except help me feel like I was getting fiber into my diet. Overall the vibe and service would bring me back to try more. Their drink menu certainly looked interesting featuring local Bloomington Brewing Company drinks.

    I visited Lennie's for lunch and enjoyed a lunch special slice + soup, a glass of kombucha, and slice of cheesecake. The veggie slice of the day was a veggie supreme slice, which had seitan-based pepperoni and sausage with veggies. I'm not entirely sure if it was dairy cheese or vegan. The soup of the day was sweet potato curry. The current kombucha on tap from Crossroads Kombucha was blueberry sage. The daily cheesecake was NY style with strawberry sauce. All of the food was really good! They were really busy during the lunch rush, but I was able to be seated right away. Food took a little longer than I expected considering it should have just been premade pizza and soup, but in the end I was in and out within the hour which was just fine for a sit-down meal. My waiter seemed so busy but despite that managed to be attentive and very friendly. I'd definitely come for the lunch special again and I'll also be sure to come by at the end of day sometime to indulge in the draft beer selection.

    Are you looking for some good authentic food? This is your spot. Stopped here on the advice of a coworker and he did not stare me wrong. Great atmosphere inside and on the patio. Super friendly staff. I personally love that. Dogs are welcome on the patio as I got to see a few furry friends. I got the Lenny's special sandwich, which was fantastic and recommended. My server also recommended the fries and she did not miss guy there. Not overcooked but nice and crispy. Have a great beer selection. There's a few other things on the menu. I'd like to try, so I will be back next time. I'm in town.

    Great food options for anyone, everything came out well. Since it was the end of the week, they were out of a few things but they made it up with how good our backup orders came out.

    We stop here often and love the flat breads. Note that what they call a stromboli is more like a calzone.

    I've been to the tap many a time - but this particular visit I was focused on the fries. See - I…read morewas on a quest to find the best fry in Bloomington. So here's how the tap came out: It was a busy Saturday night. Easy to grab a high top, but being over 30 - it's not fun sitting on a bar stool. That's fine. The service - like I said, they were busy. But one of my friends never even got his drink, and he ended up telling the waitress to cancel it because we were already eating our fries. The fries - - 4 dipping sauces equals 5 stars! Love the ability to try different flavors and find your fav. My fav is the pesto aioli because its unique! I give the seasoning 4 stars, and it was a little heavy handed, and kind of overpowered the sauces. Texture was good, some were a lil soggy, overall they were good! I've had the other food at the tap, and always enjoyed myself. Definitely worth a visit - but be prepared if they're super slammed!

    Really cool place - they have a ton of beer to try! Their beer menu (which was fully printed and…read moreavailable at our table - no scanning a QR code or squinting to read a board at the bar) had a whole page of beers by The Tap Brewery, followed by two pages of guest craft beer representing every major type of beer and with some unique options, all on tap. For drinks, cocktails (and a few mocktails) and a smaller selection of wine are also available. I wanted to get beer but I was kind of tempted by the cocktails. My first choice was a flight that included a mix of The Tap beers and guest beers, but the waiter came back after taking the order and told me that they could only do flights with their beers but could let me sample the beers I wanted to try, so I did that, and the samples were probably around 2 oz each so I basically got half a flight. After that, I ended up ordering a real flight of their beer. The Tap beers I tried were: Kill the Lights stout (regular and barrel-aged), Tapenator dark lager, Frost Bite winter ale, Nefarious Nectar blonde. Guest beers: Jacob Leinenkugel white mocha stout, Weihanstephaner Hefeweissbier, BrewDog Winter Staycation. Not going to waste space reviewing all of these, but they were all fantastic. I was really grateful that they let me sample so many! And they also have food. The menu isn't huge but does have some variety, and it's not just basic pub food. I had the ahi tuna crunch bowl and it was pretty good! It kind of had the vibe of stuff thrown together in a poke bowl, but it worked and I thought the fish was done really well. Our waiter was wonderful! He was really friendly and just the right amount of attentive. My friend and I stayed for a while talking after we had paid and he didn't rush us out at all. Granted, it was a pretty quiet night. We both really liked the vibe of the place. I would love to be back soon!
