Freshly made food, good portions for price, and the service was good. Clean atmosphere. I'll be back next time I am in the area.

I love the burgers and fries here! I live the regular burger and the mushroom and Swiss! Love the Parmesan truffle fries and the Cajun fries and whatever sauce they serve with it is sooo good! The absolutely best burgers in a drive through. Plus they got the Oberweiss ice cream is right there and it is soo tasty to get that in a milkshake! The staff is always so friendly too! Recommend! read more

Review Visit: June 11th, 2018 That Burger Joint is... disjointed? Recently, Oberweis Dairy (an ice cream store, a la Cold Stone Creamery) has expanded to offer a restaurant attached to their store. While driving through Bloomington, the gimmicky name instantly caught my eye. You would think if you visit a restaurant with burger in it's name, you would order a burger. But I didn't. I ordered 'That Spicy Chicken'. My friend ordered 'That Burger'. We sat down and were anxious to dig in to the food. The sandwiches were massive and heavy. Almost too big to eat. But where it was big in size, it lacked in flavor. I got jalapenos on my chicken and it definitely added a kick, but the chicken itself tasted... off. It wasn't bad, but it didn't give me anything to write home about. Just this blog post. I tried my friend's burger and she tried my sandwich. Her burger was full of flavor due to the toppings and grease, but the actual meat had no more flavor than a $4 pound of unseasoned beef that you'd get at the local grocer. She agreed that the food was mediocre overall. The lay out of the inside reminds me of a hybrid between Steak N Shake and Five Guys Burger & Fries. You walk up to the counter, place your order and you either take it to go or they can bring it out to your table. It's that cross between fast food and restaurant. The decor was sparse and lacking. There is an attempt to give it a rustic look, but the large swathes of black leave much to be desired. The customer service was good while ordering, but once we were sitting down, the staff was complaining among themselves about how short staffed they were. I hate to score That Burger Joint so low, but I can't in good conscious give it a glowing review. It's best to avoid it, even if you are there getting ice cream. There are way better places in Bloomington/Normal to get food. read more

Great quality for a fast food joint! I usually don't enjoy a smash burger but their's was darn good! Their fries are really good too! It was neat that they're connected to Oberweis. Great opportunity to order a milkshake to dunk your fries read more

Love their burgers! Always fresh made to order, great service too. We've done dine-in and carry-out and always had a good experience.

Very tasty burgers. Service is great and it's fast, too. The fries are good as well and the restaurant is pretty nice besides how it sometimes smells very bad in there. Good food though! read more

Great burger place! It's part of Oberweiss and connected to their ice cream shop! Very good juicy burger with their own special sauce. They bring the food to your table and you can have Oberweiss chocolate or white milk with dinner. We had chocolate- our favorite! The fries are really good too and they don't feted me ranch instead of ketchup that was really good. read more

Great burgers and home cut fries!! Good service and ice cream just across the room. Who could ask for more?

The place wasn't too terribly busy despite being open for only a week in a town with an insatiable appetite for new restaurants. After a short wait in line we ordered and waited almost twice as long for our food. Not a lot of variety - the regular double burger, the patty melt, chicken sandwich and a rotating seasonal burger (currently a mushroom-swiss). Although I didn't like the way they prepared my patty melt (not finished on the flat top?!), I gotta admit it was meaty and tasty. The fries were nothing special and I'm not an ice cream guy, but the Oberweis shakes/ice cream received enthusiastic thumbs up from the others in my group. Overall I'd say it's like a Steak-N-Shake with less food choices, but meatier burgers and more dairy/dessert choices. read more

Solid Burger Joint! I read the reviews and thought I'd give it a try. Did not disappoint. We got the chipotle jack burger and a regular cheeseburger. Both were delicious. Service was great too! Great atmosphere. Will definitely be back. read more

Ordered takeout and was so excited to try this place! It was so tasty!! The fries were a little soggy but still really good. I definitely recommend their sauce on the burgers, it is so good! read more

That Burger Joint - 3 pc chicken tenders & small fry - Burgers Near Me - Bloomington, Illinois

Cheap and good! One of the best in town. It's a great place to walk right away and have ice cream too

This is a stand alone restaurant in front of a strip mall. They have a drive-thru. Dining room is nice atmosphere- half is set up for ice cream and the other half for meals. They have burgers (obviously) as well as chicken strips which I had. I have to say they are probably the worst I've ever had. Not juicy, no flavor I got the 5 strips and threw half of them out. Fries were ok. Nothing special They have Pepsi products for soda. The milk shake was the best part of the meal. It's overpriced and I suggest you drive a little further down Veterans and go to Meatheads for Burgers & fries or across the street to Chick-Fil-A for chicken strips. read more

Strong 3+ stars The server taking my order and Paul shift manager(?) We're very kind. Dined with Dad tonight. He had the Mushroom Swiss single meal - and thought it was very tasty. I had the That Steakhouse Double meal (massive improvement from the last burger I had here) *still a little over cooked , but this time it was juicy. The Fry's were also much improved. I will dine here again. Keep up the improvements! read more

Stopped in here on a whim after being disappointed at another establishment in town. Friendly attentive staff. The burgers are awesome and the loaded fries have just the right amount of toppings. Will definitely try to stop by again when in town. read more

Pretty darn good! We stopped in recently and I enjoyed my patty melt. Previous comments talk about this place being 'too pricey'. I don't have a problem with $8 for a great burger. Great quality ingredients here, folks. It ain't McDonalds! I love that they have lots of free toppings so I added grilled mushrooms to my melt. We split a large order of fries - plenty to share - and I was stuffed! Fries a tad on the salty side but not too far over the top. The two burger parties on the melt were cooked perfectly, still juicy. And it all arrived piping hot. Their milk dispenser machine intrigued me so we'll have to go back and check it out. read more

Just another burger... nothing special. Was it tasty? Sure, but there's nothing about it that would bring me back again. I did like the petal sauce which is a combination of ketchup, mayo and horseradish. The fries were also fresh, crispy and warm. The price seemed a bit on the higher end. The guy who took our order was very friendly and explained the menu (which is very small). read more

Despite reading the reviews we decided to check this place out. They burgers are decent but $20 for two burgers and a small fry is not really worth it. The burger size is kind of small and nothing really special about the burger itself. They do have a large list of "toppings" that they allow free of charge (ie: jalapenos, mushrooms etc.). Service is ok as well. Extremely limited menu so be prepared.There were only a few other people there so we got our food quickly. Personally I'd rather go to Culvers for their butter burger. read more

Well we originally came to get some ice cream next door at Oberweiss but the aroma of the burgers caught our attention. So here we are, waiting for our order to be ready. Total came to $19 and some change for a soda, order of fries, the patty melt and the junior burger. Price is a little up there, so hopefully the flavor makes up for that. The menu is limited Burgers range from $6.50 to $9 Chicken sandwich $7 Tenders $4.50-$7 Hot dog $4 They also have shakes and milk with Oberweiss dairy products Also a decent amount of free toppings for your sandwich, similar to FiveGuys Burgers toppings. Order took 19 minutes at lunch time from order to being ready. Ok so I am a few bites into my patty melt and it's honestly nothing special. The burger patties don't have much flavor, the rye bread is the most flavorful part of my burger unfortunately. The fries are just ok, nothing that great, just potato is all. My husband got the junior and it's a mess, falling apart in his hands. His patty was very dry, same on the flavor, it's lacking in the meat. Really to be honest, I don't think we will return. Just wanted to try out the new burger joint in town. read more

WAY overpriced. Almost $10 for a cheeseburger and fries, no drink. The fries were warm, not hot, not really salted, and there were only a few bagglers. They tasted and smelled like they were fried in vegetable oil, and maybe something else, which is a plus. The burger was good, above average. The Junior is big enough for an adult. The ingredients and toppings are quality. The brioche bun is good, soft but not soggy. The bun seems big enough to withstand more toppings. The burger isn't overly greasy, and the grill flavor came through after a couple bites. This doesn't seem sustainable with competition like Meat Heads and Culver's. All in all, it's above average, but fails expectations with a $10 price tag. This isn't Chicago... read more

Even when first in line, this place is really slow. Combined with their high prices, there is little reason to choose this place. I have tried their burger and chicken fingers. I would much rather get a $4 double with fries from Steak 'n Shake than get the same $10 meal here. The burger and fries may be slightly better, but definitely not worth over double the price. The chicken strips I received were also half the size of chick fila or even McDonald's. I gave two stars because their fries are yummy. read more

Food was delicious. Service was friendly. Very clean. My daughter in law had the Parmesan truffle fries and they were really delicious.

Was looking for something different for dinner so I stopped at that burger joint, ordered a patty melt, fries and a fountain drink. The patty melt look delicious but unfortunately it was very salty as were the fries. It had the potential to be a great meal but I'll have to try it again someday and hopefully it's better. read more

UPDATE on our bad review. We were contacted by the Paul, the manager and he invited us to go back and try again. Burgers were once again delicious and we will continue to make this our go-to burger spot. Thank you Paul! read more

We stopped on a drive from out of town and wanted to try someplace unique. Loved that it had oberweiss ice cream attached. Got the kids a chocolate shake in the spirit of trying the ice cream and it was yummy. It came with a chocolate cookie straw which was a nice touch. The fresh cut fries were amazing. Burgers were fresh and cooked well. read more

There were 4 of us and all got different burgers and fries. Everything was great and the staff was very nice. Will be back!

Ridiculously over priced. Almost $15 for a burger, large fries and a 22oz drink. For that price I highly recommend Ferrens. This place has THE most expensive fast food burger in the county. Obviously I will not go back. read more

The burger is good. Just good. I got a burger on a pretzel bun, with cheese, crispy bacon (perfectly cooked bacon), fresh jalapenos, pickles, and BBQ sauce. They were quite light on the BBQ sauce. The burger patty was a little overcooked but I think they cook them all well done. The fries are very good. Should have gotten a large, but as I got a small burger and small fries and a drink for a smidge under $13, I decided against a larger anything. That is essentially the issue. You're going to spend $15ish for burger and fries. What is making this place stand out against, for example, smashburger or five guys? There are no atypical toppings or anything special to set it apart, and, therefore, no reason to pick this place over any other place. read more

Tried the burger joint a few days after it opened as the pictures looked good. I was rather disappointed with the taste of the burger I got, as well as the options for toppings and specialty burgers. They offer one type of cheese, American, and the toppings are rather basic (no avocado, guacamole, egg, jalapeño ketchup or other unique toppings). The pretzel bun was lackluster as well. I didn't feel that it fit the style of burger it was, which was a bacon cheese burger. Their fries are good. They remind me of meathead's fries except you have to apply your own seasoning if you want. They also do not offer any cheese sauce for dipping the fries which was a disappointment. I did try their special sauce and it was extremely strong with horseradish and not very good. The person I went with got chicken fingers. Those were also sub par. We both left wishing we went to any of the other burger places over this one (meatheads, red robin, steak n shake, etc). For the price of the food and how it tasted, I won't go back. I gave it 2 stars purely because the fries were good. Everything else was forgettable and severely overpriced. read more

I thought the food was good but WAY overpriced. A cheeseburger was $8 and a small fry was $2. A milkshake is either $6 or $8 depending on what size you get. So for me, a cheeseburger, small fry and small shake cost me $17.28. Everything was good. In fact, quite good. However, I feel that given other burger places in town are comparable and considerably less expensive, I don't see this place being around for very long unless they lower their prices. I'll give credit where it's due - the burger was good and I though the shake was delicious. I didn't think anything was amazing, but I thought everything was good. read more

Burgers were decent but needed more overall flavor. I do believe more options are needed. As we read the menu, we kept looking for more options..and there were none...one type of cheese? really? Fries needed more/better seasoning...this place will need to up their game to stay as a presence in Blo-No. read more

fries- average good fries but nothing special. double hamburger- pretty bland meat and fell apart before I was even half way done eating it. overall, definitely over priced for an average burger read more

Not bad. Wish I would've known how very limited the menu was before going, but I got a burger and it was good. Problem was that I had my four young children with me and with no kids menu, I was limited to adult size meals only. The fries were extremely salty and even more soggy. None of my four kids wanted them. I could barely eat the ones I tried. If looking for a good burger and absolutely nothing more, this is a great place for you. The place was cleans and great customer service. They were helpful and friendly. read more

Wow! Never would have I imagined driving this place that it's a hidden little gem. Besides from their amazing burgers, their customer service is second to none. I've been here twice and the first time the young man behind the counter was courteous and came to our table several times to check on how we were doing. The second time, same service but 2 different gentleman. I'll go back every time I make a trip through Bloomington! Thank you for making our dining experience great! If I can rate it 10 I would! My family agrees. read more

Good place. Serving sizes seem a little small for the price, but this is not your average fast food, it's a step above. The Nashville hot chicken sandwich was well made and the fries were hot, fresh and crispy. The place was pretty clean too. read more

Nothing special. Service was just okay, and the burger was just okay. Not bad, not great. Very overpriced for the taste.

The ice cream is the best part. Burgers are okay, but not worth the price. If you want a good burger and a shake without needing to visit two separate locations, go to meatheads. read more

Food is fantastic. Service is great!! Ice cream is wonderful. Too bad I can't have any lactose intolerant.

Ignore the horribly unfair one and two star reviews and give this place a try. I had a double burger on a pretzel bun with grilled onions, cheese, and mayo. It was perfectly melty and delicious! The pretzel bun is a great option, too. Fresh-cut fries were hot & crisp; I especially liked the special sauce you can request for them. So much food left over, my drive-thru bag still felt full. It seemed almost criminal to be throwing it away. Note to self, next time order a single and save room for ice cream. I'll be back! read more
