    Cheesepa'rer
    Roger R.

    Very rustic place; a view showing the roasting lamb ready to be sliced for your meal. Old, old building with a lot of nostalgic decor, fancy lad wood railing and walls, even the bar is like an old saloon and down to the creaking stairs as you go to the top level. We we warmly greeted and asked if we'd like a beverage - the crafted beer list was quite small with maybe 4 craft and rest were standard millet and bud beers. Server was nice and served or beers, we ordered an appetizer (Cheesepa'rer). I highly recommend this appetizer spinach, feta and cream cheese, not sure what else but very tasty and served with diced pita bread- awesome. We ordered gyro sandwich with beef and lamb and a chicken gyro. I had chicken and it was a nice big sandwich but I tasted my wife's regular gyro and liked it much better. This is a Mediterranean place but they have American standard menu as well. My only complaint was the heat registers looked like they hadn't been cleaned in years. Overall this was a decent place, oh the fries are hand cut and crispy nice home style fries. The food was good and decently priced.

    Great authentic Greek food 100% the gyro sandwich was excellent very tender blends of meat and the home cucumber sauce is a great blend. The service is great the waitress (Maggie) is very attentive to our needs and prompt with refills. The dining room has an old throw back wooden benches and tables are rustic and cozy. We had desert the baklava is baked and layer upon layer of sweet phillo dough. A nice blend of filling and pecans. If you're in Bloomington for a game or weekend getaway this is a must stop right on the courthouse square. Baklava is A++‼

    Breaded Dill Pickles

    A Bloomington Staple - Trojan Horse Best known for: Gyros A delicious blend of savory lamb, beef and spices. Our unique method of cooking seals the juices and seasonings into the gyros meat, which we make ourselves. The gyros is sliced very thin and topped off with tomatoes, onions and our own Zaziki sauce (a combination of yogurt, sour cream, cucumbers and garlic) Better Burgers: I've been hearing they make one of the best burgers and Btown and while it was tasty - you have to get the gyro here, it just doesn't compare. Lots of toppings to choose from - get the jalapeño mayo! We started off with appetizers: Meatballs Kokkinisto: A blend of beef and lamb seasoned just right with Parmesan and Fontinella cheeses baked right in. Topped with a hearty Greek red sauce Breaded Dill Pickles: That's right. Breaded pickle spears! My personal favorite app that we didn't get this time is the Saganaki: Traditional fontinella cheese served flaming at your table with two quartered pitas. Opah! Pro-tips: - Get a basket of fries and onion rings for the table to share - Sit upstairs I've been going to this location since I was a little girl and it always has the same nostalgic feeling and I've always been impressed that the servers memorize your orders.

    Great atmosphere. Love sitting outside. Nice spot for sandwiches, salads, and entrees.

    Falafel Sandwich

    This is a classic in Bloomington! The Greek food is amazing. My go to order is the falafel pita. The sauce is zesty and goes great with the spice in the falafel. We always get the saganaki too! They have a nice selection of drinks & American food if Greek isn't your thing!

    Our server was amazing!! The food was ok, the dips in the sampler were great. 100% recommend the sampler.

    View from my seat. A nice quiet place to relax for a bit.

    First time going today and everything was amazing!…read more We ordered the chicken arepa, the pabellón arepa, and three different tequenos: Venezuelan llanero cheese wrapped in dough and fried as well as guava and jalapeños tequenos. Each were very flavorful and the dough was perfect. I personally enjoyed the chicken arepa the most. We were both very pleased with our meals. The Venezuelan cheese however was not my favorite cheese ever.. so I might ask for it on the side so that it doesn't ruin your whole arepa/sandwich just in case you feel the same. The service was very accommodating and pleasant. The ambiance was clean and decorated very nicely. We will certainly be back for more!

They serve the Cafe Vida Divina coffees here, got to try one as the taste great and good for my health and energy boost. These bake goods are all home made in-house and very fresh. Super friendly service from the owner herself. So good we doubled our order to take more home and another coffee to-go. Make sure to order the fresh avocado sauce and the garlic sauces to dips. The fruit punch and aguapanella were refreshing on the hot day were were eating here. Lastly, this is very easy to access as it is on a main streets, a bike path, on the bus line, and a bus stop right in front. No excuses not to enjoy what we just did.

I liked the…read morecolourful atmosphere with the painted walls and stained glass decoration in the windows, and I thought my seat was very cozy. The food is diner-style but very good so far. I visited twice for a breakfast and a lunch. Lunch: I had a Black Russian sandwich and a pot of Emperor's Pride tea. The sandwich, which is a vegetarian version of a Reuben with roasted veggies instead of meat, was delicious. They really piled on the veggies. Some fell out of the sandwich, but I just ate them with the home fries. The home fries also were nicely seasoned. The tea was a little off. It's possible it was the tea itself that didn't taste how I expected, but it kind of tasted like I was getting the flavour of a different tea in the pot. Breakfast: Apple pancake and bouquet latte (seasonal special - lavender Ceylon tea latte with honey and rose syrup). The bouquet latte was wonderful and had this beautiful red swirl latte art. The pancake was nice and fluffy. One pancake is something like $5, but one is enough for a complete meal, maybe with a protein side if you're especially hungry. The staff is very friendly and makes you feel welcome. The food didn't take very long even though they seemed busy.

    I'm not sure why we don't go to the Runcible Spoon more often, but honestly think we kind of forget…read moreit. Son decided he wanted to go as he was craving breakfast for dinner, so off we went. Again, as always, was impressed and enjoy the quirky nature of the Spoon. RS is in an old house just off Kirkwood. A bunch of smaller rooms, plus a large outdoor dining patio out front. We got lucky with parking on the street pretty close to the restaurant (no real parking lot) and I would have preferred to eat outside but daughter got to the hostess first and we ended up indoors. Everyone ended up with breakfast choices. Wife had an omelette, said it was great. I had banana+granola pancakes (two) which was plenty. The flavor was great. Also eggs and toast. Son had the Kevin which is basically what I ordered but with French Toast. Daughter had a chocolate chip pancake which she enjoyed. Overall, great food and very reasonable. Service was on point and again the atmosphere is fun and quirky. Need to add to our regular rotation.

Almost every time I've come here, they're either out of something or the fryer is down/not on yet. They have non dairy milk listed on the menu, and the first time I came here, I ordered and received an oolong milk tea with almond milk, but next time, when I tried to order a green milk tea with soy milk, they said all the milk teas were made with non-dairy creamer and they could only do the alt milk for lattes. All that aside, I have never been unhappy with anything that I actually got. Their matcha latte (regular or strawberry) is pretty good and the honey boba is excellent. The regular sugar level is too sweet for me, but less sweet is great. The cheese corn dog varies in the ratio of cornbread to cheese and how "done" it's cooked, but I've never gotten one that was bad. The most recent one I got was the best. They are kind of difficult and messy to eat because the melted cheese doesn't want to stay on the stick with the breading weighing it down. I haven't had the issue with the super long wait time again. The corn dog normally takes about 10 minutes because of how long it takes to make the thing, drinks are usually ready sooner. Most of the baristas are friendly, some not so much. I have gotten the eye roll once when I asked for a topping they were out of even though there was no way I could have known this. I do think it's overall worth it to come here, because again, the product is good and the cafe space is cute, but the situation where you can't count on anything being available is frustrating.
