    turkey and apple slaw (?) pita sandwich
    Alissa N.

    Their "Sunrise Sunset" smoothie is sooooO delicious! I also got a pita sandwich (can't remember the name so I'm sorry I'm not that helpful here) but it had turkey and apple slaw on it and that was the best dang wrap/sandwich I've had in a while.

    detox island smoothie gross
    Giselle C.

    Dear god... it is places like this that remind me that I am really in Bloomington and that life is tough. I got the detox island smoothie and while it comes in a large container, it literally tastes like water blended with kale. I get that it's supposed to be a "detox" smoothie, but it's places like this that make me want to retreat to chic-fil-a next door to make sure that my taste buds still work. Also, adding excessive ice and putting a drank in a large container does no justice to the taste cause now you're just frontin' size over quality. Deception at its best. I also got the spinach and feta omelet wrap which had no salt but no flavor either. Does pepper even exist?! It is visits like these that remind me to never eat out in Bloomington ever again. Just eat at home.

    My boss purchased some for the entire crew, and it was my first experience having one. I thought my choice was delicious.

    Wow. What happened? This place I swore by not so long ago has taken a serious nosedive…read more Lunch with the kid again. Fun, right? Nope. They were a bit busy but it didn't seem like a huge crowd today. We sat outside again. I knew what I wanted immediately, and placed our order as soon as our waitress came over to greet us. A cheeseburger for the kid, and a pulled pork sandwich for me. I've never had theirs before. And I never will again. And fries. We got fries. The wait was insane. At least a half hour for very simple dishes. The kid got a tiny burger. Beef and bun. No cheese, no ketchup. I had to ask for cheese. Yes. They messed up a cheese burger. Then there was my pulled pork. It was literally inedible. I've since come to learn that it was not reheated properly, so the goo that covered every bit of meat was fat. It was served cold, for some reason, and the way it was presented on the menu, listed under a picture of some yummy browned wings led me to believe it would be a very different - and HOT- sandwich. The server did offer to take it back, but at that point the meal was ruined for me and I didn't trust them to make anything else, or make it quickly. I made it clear I was very unhappy about such a disgusting sandwich. She took all of 10% off my bill. Better than nothing, but a lot less than I was expecting. if this is how they're doing things now, I'm done with this place. Badly overseasoned fries... cold pulled pork... cheeseburger with no cheese... I mean, come on... and based on what little I caught from people at another table, getting food out seemed to be an issue for them. I'm not sure if any other places nearby that aren't just bars serve decent food, but if they do, you can definitely give this place a hard pass. Yuck.

    Delicious food. Cheap drinks. Great service. Ask for Piper. She is really quick and cool.read more

    The food! The portions! The food! We took a road trip to…read moreBloomington last weekend and found a great little restaurant. One companion called his French dip the best he'd ever had. Another liked her muffaletta, but wished she'd ordered more than a cold sandwich - as tall and as full as it was. My partner and I shared the meatball grinder appetizer. Best meatball I've ever had. There were three meatballs (each one looked as big as a tennis ball!) with little garlic crostinis circling them on the plate. We each ate one and took the other home, which he happily ate the next day. Delicious! Our hostess/server Lanie was the hardest working server I've ever seen, and always with a smile that carried to her voice and eyes. Although we went there to check out mosaic supplies in an art store, I'd easily go back here just for the food! Inside, the restaurant was Diner-noisy. Outside in the pavilion, it was very pleasant.

    OK, for starters it's too loud. The music is too loud which causes conversations to be too loud to…read morecompete. We went on Valentine's Day and there was probably 1 server for each table, so they added to the noise as well. And the esthetics of the dining area left a lot to be desired with what should be behind a wall is instead in the dining area and not covered. So onto the food. While good, $19+ for a sandwich and kettle chips is pretty steep no matter how you cut it. Speaking of cutting it, I ordered the Spicy Arriabiata which was slic3d so awkwardly it was almost impossible to eat as a sandwich. Instead of being cute, try slicing it in half so it can be eaten next time. Overall the food was actually good, service was good and properly attentive. Will I go back? Probably not. Kind of feels like a been there, done that type of experience. Dinner for 2 with a cocktail and wine and 2 sandwiches cost $85. Probably cancel spend that elsewhere and get a better dinner.

    Fun, good energy and vibes. The unique sporty decor gives a warm, inviting, personal touch. All the…read moretables were a tad sticky which was not surprising but felt kinda gross. The staff were friendly. There were so many levels of seating which included long bench/tables accommodating for groups. Wings were great! The sweet Lou's were VERY sweet! They had a strong caramelized brown sugar flavor. Hot wings were vinegary and spicy. Tater tots were perfectly fried. Great bar food and wings. Would definitely visit again!

    Onion Rings: 10/10 -- i would come back just for these!!! the crisp was immaculate and the batter…read morewas so good the onion stayed in tact with each bite. the house sauce was a creamy aoili-like mix which was super yummy too. Buffalo Chicken: 6/10 -- my sister got this and rated it a 6 (because there are no 7s on my scale). for $15+ and no side of fries this was kind of a scam sandwich lol #recessionindicator Sweet Lou's: 6/10 -- heavy on the sweet i was a fool i looooove bbq but their special "q sauce" was a bit like molasses rather than classic bbq. the patty, onion ring, and bacon were perfect but i literally could not taste them without scraping off the sticky sauce. again, $15+ and no side i feel like the flavor wasn't enough for me to recommend this to anyone. Tender & Fries: 6/10 -- what in the walmart brand frozen curly fries without salt nonsense on a plate was this... they got us LOOOOL... great value??? YEAH hard pass!!!! I was visiting my sister and she recommended this place because she had heard about it from fellow IU students. My thoughts: come for the IU memorabilia, and ambience, eat an order of onion rings (maybe sip a beer) while you watch a game and leave! The food was mediocre at best and wayyy overpriced.
