Delicious food and excellent service. I haven't been in here in years but stopped by for a late lunch. I had a BLT with fries. The fries were double fried and crisp. My spouse had the chicken tenders which were excellent. Another gem of the west Bloomington neighborhood. Restaurant is very clean. New table and chairs. read more

This is a small, old school cafe/diner. It has a small bar and some scattered TVs in the seating areas. They have your standard sandwiches and burgers and salads menu. We tried the French dip and Philly cheese steak for lunch. The bread was perfect for this tip of sandwich. The au jus was decent. The sliced beef was tasteless and dry though. It needed some seasoning. The wild rice soup wasn't too bad but again lacked flavor. Service was fine and this place was a quick, affordable place to have lunch. read more

Zeke's Place - Philly Cheese Steak - American Near Me - Bloomington, Minnesota

Food is ok for a corner neighborhood bar Dated. But the prices were reasonable compared to many other places I've frequented. Atmosphere is ok! read more

We had the very small French Dip for $9.50, no side. It was on a delicious soft warm bun. Stop , that was the highlight! I didn't like the deli roast beef neatly folded, it had weird microwave taste and texture. There was no provolone cheese or onions, a standard for a French Dip. So I give this a 1 star for the bun. Would NOT order again! The additional optional side of fries were great! read more

The burgers and onion rings tasted great! Small little hole in the wall. Good atmosphere and they were playing my favorite radio station, cities 97! Very reasonable prices also. read more

Nice friendly hometown place. Clean and TVs on but not too loud. Hamburgers and fries were very good. Fast service. Try it. Nothing fancy but good. read more

Burgers are phenomenal as is the breasted chicken (which can rarely find anymore)! In the summer time you can stop for ice cream at Scoops although you'll stuffed with great Zeke's food read more

The food was ok, the service was ok, I wasn't greatly impressed. I had the zeke burger and like I said, it was ok. This is why I gave it the A-OK 3 star rating. read more

Zeke's Place - Fried chicken McZeke with fries - American Near Me - Bloomington, Minnesota

A friend and I dropped into Zeke's because we were in the area. And I have to say the place did not disappoint. The environment is divey, the staff are attentive and friendly, and the food was wonderful - and reasonably priced too. We both had turkey burgers with coleslaw and fries. We kept coming back and the food was consistently delicious just as it had been the first time. We tried the fried cauliflower and it was delightful. The beer was crisp and refreshing. It's easy to say that Zeke's Place is a hidden gem in Bloomington. read more

I'd consider Zeke's one of west Bloomington's hidden gems. It has an old school vibe to it and has a pretty cheap and simple, standard menu of burgers, fried fish and chicken and they are all good options. Pro tip: go across the hallway for desert Ice cream at Scoop's afterwards. read more

Super yummy fries! Very quiet inside, was able to have a conversation and not feel like others were too loud. Was a bit confused when I went in, wasnt sure where to sit. read more

This little (divey) gem is just around the corner from my home. Haven't had a bad experience yet! Sometimes there's a little wait for a server and just know the parking lot is kind of a dead end so traffic jams can happen if too many people are trying to come in and out at the same time. Decent drink selection. American menu basics and favorites. And it's great that it's walking distance from my home for a quick bite or to have a drink and watch whatever game is on! read more

Got a couple burgers, fries, and cheese curds for take out. Absolutely delicious! Everything you want in a quality local burger joint.

Do not go here for the ambiance , it's a vacant old Chinese restaurant style place. No hard liquor just beer and wine. Everything is fried so not great for those health conscious folks. Very much a basic bar style food , but it's not a bar... read more

I wasn't even sure which city I was in, or how we arrived here. I have a friend who lives in Bloomington, and when I asked for a recommendation for 'cheap eats' in the area - this was his #1 pick. A large burger & sandwich menu, crispy coated fries, and some of the sourest dill pickles that I've ever eaten made for a great experience. They have a bar that serves strictly beer, and our sodas were never CLOSE to being empty the entire time we dined. They had a pool table in a back area - and it appeared that there was some sort of league happening. If I can ever find it again, I would stop back for a bite. read more

My place of work is a barren shell of its normal self the week between Christmas and New Year's Day, with roughly 6.2754% of employees making an appearance. Boring would be an understatement! Thus, five among us decided to go out for lunch, somewhere nearby that was not fast-food. Zeke's Place fit the bill. I ordered the daily special, a Gyro with wild rice soup. The meal only cost six bucks and for some hole-in-the-wall in Bloomington, the food was far and away better than expected. We arrived prior to the lunch rush, but even as we left there were enough tables available that the place was not crowded. There are pool tables in the back, along with televisions and a juke box, so I imagine this place would be a fun local hang out spot for Bloomington suburbanites. Service was excellent, as well. read more

Had lunch here. This is better than average bar food in a fun neighborhood bar. Located in a strip mall off of Old Shakopee Rd and 169, there is lot's of parking outside. The food was exactly what you'd expect with burgers, fish fry and sandwiches. All the food was made to order and came out of the kitchen hot. Interestingly both the prices and portions were human sized. This was very nice as opposed to having a plate piled with so fuch food you could never eat it all. The wait staff was excellent. The beer and drink selection was typical of a neighborhood bar. It was easy on the pocket book and the food was good. read more

My local neighborhood bar. Great place to watch sports and have beers with friendly regulars. The only dive bar (meant as a compliment) in West Bloomington. I've been coming here for years and have never been disappointed. As a southern man transplanted to the north, this is the only place I go for fried ("broasted") chicken. Need I say more? Bar is beer/wine only. read more

Zeke's Place - a glass of beer on a table - American Near Me - Bloomington, Minnesota

They are always quick and polite! I love their burgers! I wish they had a full service bar not just beer and wine! I also wish they had a better choice of salads not just iceberg. The burgers are really great though read more

Quaint hole in the wall with good food, quick service, cheap prices, friendly staff. Visiting from out of town and drove by this place around lunch time. Had their chicken noodle soup and a grilled cheese with bacon! Yum yum! read more

We frequent this place at least once a week. Five stars every time. Environment is hometown, cozy hot spot. The staff are always super friendly - genuinely. Items are reasonably priced for high quality taste. I've gotten the Friend Chicken McZeke every time. It's FABULOUS. The best chicken sandwich I've ever had. Fries are crispy perfect. Literally, I always ask to go here anytime my bf gives me the opportunity to choose. You have to try this place! Amazing service, great food, cozy environment = perfection. read more

Zeke's has good food and service. The prices are very reasonable. The ambiance is pretty weak though. It's wide open and very light. More like a diner than a bar. They do have pool tables and games. All in all, I go there every couple months for a burger, but I don't bring dates there! read more

I saw this place had decent reviews and went to check it out for lunch. The inside looks old and dingy. I tried the broasted chicken since the neon sign advertised it in the window. The meal comes with 3 pieces of chicken, jojos (potato wedges), coleslaw and toast (why). The chicken was tasteless and dry. Jojos were fine. The coleslaw looked disgusting and the toast was just as you'd expect. The waitress was about as friendly as an agitated wolverine. Great place to go if you have no sense of taste! read more

Pretty decent burgers. I hadn't been here in years as I don't live in the area. My parents stop by frequently. I had a bacon cheeseburger and fries. Mom had their fish 'n' chips special. The burger was cooked to order. While I'm not usually a fan of batter coated fries these weren't too bad. Mom said her fish 'n' chips were pretty good for what they were. It's a very casual place. Basically a 3.2 bar with bar food, a pool table and lots of tables and chairs. Plenty of parking in the lot but watch out for the speed bumps....they're huge. it's a lot closer than driving out to Lion's Tap for them. If they suggest going to Zeke's again, I'll go along! read more

Grt food and service! Burgers are great, had a pizza, really good. Nice staff quick service, easy to find.

Zeke's Place has great burgers and decent fries. The place can get crowded on the weekends after softball games and such, because Zeke's is right across the street from Dred Scott Field. Lunch time is mellow with mostly business types looking for a quick bite to eat. The service is prompt and friendly. The atmosphere is very casual. read more

We absolutely LOVE this place! Perfect for a quick - and ridiculously inexpensive - beer and burger. Lemon chicken sandwich really good. California Zeke burger is our go-to though! Family friendly, come as you are kind of place. Great service from bartenders too! read more

Stopped in for a cold beer after doing some frolfing nearby. Not a bad little spot. Was super busy, but we found a couple seats at the bar. Bartender poured us a couple Nordeasts in frosty mugs. We were satisfied! read more

Good local bar and bar food. I have only had burgers and fries here... all good quality. You can sit at the bar or tables. Several video games. Older crowd of drink'n locals hang out at night and weekends. read more

Zeke's has great hamburgers. They also have a variety of other sandwiches. One of our favorite things is their wild rice soup. Pleasant staff and usually reasonably quiet. read more

Not much to recommend it. Odd location, slow service, basic menu. Limited beer selection. Wish I had been there when the broasted chicken was available. Not a lot of choices in that area, but I'd drive longer to get better food. read more

I've lived in W. Bloomington for eight years. This used to be a good place to get a decent meal. In my estimation, it has taken a precipitous fall over the last year. The food really sucks now. It's just constant mistakes coupled with the staff's never-ending barrage of coulda's, woulda's and shoulda's. I'm done with Zeke's. read more

My local watering hole, warm place on a cold night. Great burgers, some nice sandwiches and always a nightly special. Pool tables, TVs, arcade games. Nothing fancy but inexpensive good food. You'll like it. read more

Love Zekes! Good bar food, super fast service. Employees are really nice. We get food to go a couple times a month.

Zeke has been in our neighborhood for as long as I can remember and we used to go here weekly. It is under new ownership in the last 5 years. There is nothing special about Zekes, but you can always count on a good burger and beer. read more

My husband and I visited here after happy hour on Friday night. We didn't eat anything so I can't provide much feedback on it. The clientele was mainly families with children. There were some arcade games in the back to entertain the kiddos. It's pretty dark and divey in here, but we just wanted to have a quick beer. This area of town has a bit of dry spell when it comes to bars. The next closest bar is Famous Dave's. It was A-ok, but we probably won't be back. read more

We ate at Zeke's on a Thursday night and it was very good and the waitress was very pleasant. We went back the next night at around 9:30 and wanted to order some food. A scuzzy lookiinng guy said we couldn't order any food because the kitchen was closed. We pointed out that others were eating and the kitchen was supposed to close at 10. He then gruffly said "we're out of food" and walked away. He was just a jerk. We left and went to another establishment. Needless to say we won't be back. read more

Love Zekes. Close, weekday and weekend specials. Even though it might be classified as a sports bar, it is popular with families, groups, and many seniors. Broasted chicken all week, and a cod special on weekends. Most visitors are repeat customers who eat there often. read more

One star because the fries were good. Otherwise, the hamburger tasted funny and they use fake cheese for the cheeseburger. Service was terrible. read more

Fish sandwich was rectangular patty that was grey inside and tasted awful. The hamburger wasn't much better a friend. We won't go back!
