The staff are amazing. By request, I returned the favor and fed them. Fried Cicadas. kitchen staff, wait staff and bartenders. all of them are skilled and have great personalities. I will go out of my way to return. Thank you on behalf of myself and the "Name That Bug!" community.“

“We love Bakery & Pickle! Our food is always outstanding, good service, and quality cocktails. We love their bartender Cullen. He makes the best drinks in town and will even create something unique based on our tastes. We had so much fun at the bar last night that we skipped our dinner reservations in the dining room and enjoyed our anniversary dinner at the bar. This place is always a good time with great staff, food, and atmosphere. Cullen keeps us coming back for his excellent cocktails!“

“The food here is usually really good. It's a nice burger joint on campus located in the Student Bone Center. One thing I noticed is that some of the staff is usually unfriendly, but not all of the time. The food does take a really long time to come out though.“

“food was great and so was the service.“

“First time here. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. Clean inside. Plenty of seating. We went around 4pm on a Saturday, so we were almost the only people there eating. Ordered 3 meals. 2 came out correctly. Order of Buffalo wings came out as BBQ wings. Waitress apologized and returned them. Came back to tell me it would be about 13 minutes and in meantime, she would give me a complimentary appetizer...ordered garlic cheese curds (said they take 3 minutes)...In the meantime, our waitress came over and asked if we minded cashing out our tab since her shift was ending.. we paid our bill. Not long after my corrected wings arrived. Food was fresh, hot and good. Highly recommend the potato oles with nacho cheese! My complimentary appetizer NEVER arrived and our new server never came back to check on us... So... great review for our initial waitress, not so great for the one who took over. Overall our experience was fine. Worth a shot if you are in the area.“

“great breakfast but the waitress sucked and kept going into the bathroom to ues her vape“

“I have been 2x now and both experiences I left happy! Great food. Great prices. Great staff. Only suggestion is to have bottled water availble for purchaseuntil the water doesn't taste like mud in Bloomington.“

“My wife and I stopped for lunch in Bloomington Illinois. We decided to have the Fish Sandwich, a friend informed us they are great. He was not wrong. Tasted fresh the cod was fantastic. My wife said it tasted better then the burgers. The staff are very professional and nice.“

“LOVE ANJU ABOVE!! Drinks were on point and sushi was amazing!Cant wait to go back!“

“Great food! Great food! 😄“

“Ribeye steak and eggs and all food was amazing I love that place“

“This cozy place is a packed house on a Friday night, but worth the effort to find a seat. The atmosphere is lively, the service is friendly and attentive. The food is incredible, delicious doesn’t adequately describe the flavor profiles and the quality.“

“I have ordered the spicy cheese curds. The service was quick, food hot and the atmosphere is calming. I will say that the cheese curds say spicy, it may be the slight Mexican in me but personally the spice after eating 12 was about 2/10, but the quality was very good. If you are visiting definitely check this place out for good food at a good price.“

“To be honest, El Paso Golf Club has proven to be a favorite of mine.

Their selection is sufficient, offering a nice variety to please everyone.

The servings are very large.
Enough that even with a very big appetite like I have, there has always been leftovers to take home for the next day.

Everything I've eaten appears to be freshly made. As an example, the Caesar Salad was obviously sitting around, waiting to be served. It was served in a low profile bowl that was the size of a dinner plate. Covered in large chunks of grilled chicken breast and was actually a MEAL, all by itself.

I also ordered a rueben sandwich with sweet potato fries...

As it turns out,the salad was so good and so large, that I never took a bite out of my sandwich, but ate some of the abundance of fries. They appear to be freshly cut and nicely cooked. Very good 👍.

The sandwich looks awesome with plenty corned beef spilling over the edges...

Can't wait for lunch today.

I wish I had taken pictures, but sadly, I didn't.

You will just have to go experience it yourself.

And to top it all off the price was very reasonable, averaging about $20 per person.

ENJOY
BTW, the wait staff is awesome as well.“

“10/10 would come again! :)“

“Very Good Place to Hangout & Have Fun with Friends & Family A++“

“Great food and atmosphere!!“

“The dawg was spot on and the service was fast. It was dirty in there and they have gambling machines that drew a certain flavor of human being in that isn’t conducive to making it a pleasant dining experience. I took my food and ate in my car.“

“Megan is hands-down one of the best bartenders I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Every time I stop by Fat Jack’s, she makes the experience 10x better. She’s quick, attentive, and always seems to know exactly when you need a refill. On top of that, she has a warm and welcoming personality that makes everyone feel like a regular—even if it’s their first time there. She mixes a fantastic drink, keeps the vibe fun and relaxed, and clearly cares about creating a great experience for her customers. If you’re at Fat Jack’s, do yourself a favor and grab a drink from Megan—you won’t be disappointed!“

“The food was absolutely fantastic! I had a great time with my family, though it was a little bit awkward seeing an employee, a short middle aged man, Corey, I believe his name was, chomping on lettuce in the restrooms. Other than that, it was overwhelmingly positive, and I will absolutely be returning.“
