“We had the best service today! Such an amazing waitress. Even though she was busy doing so many things she made sure we were taken care of! The food was incredible. Tenderloin, smash burger and even a grilled cheese. Can’t wait to come back!“
“Best bar experience in bloomington with the best Kareoke ever. Food is good enough to eat, drinks are perfect, Kareoke is worth living in this city for.Also, the average review for this place is way too low... No animals in a place of FOOD SERVICE is a standard that has simply become out of fashion. Sorry about your disability and appreciate your service, but tanking this place's credit because your a dog advocate is silly. The OL deserves better.“
“Guy who usually works the bar is awesome! New food items have definately made a difference in the overall menu. The tenderloin is great... I've never met a staff member here who isn't smiling and super helpful!! Great place to go if there's a game on...TVs literally everywhere!“
“We went on a basketball home game night and it was not full at all. Maybe 8 tables taken. Coke products!! We ordered the fry sampler for appetizer and it came with 4 sauces. It was okay. The sweet potato fries must be fried in the same oil as the others because they didn't have much of a flavor difference. They had tater tots, buffalo chips, waffle fries and sweet potato fries. I was saddened that the garlic aoili wasnt good :(I ordered the chicken and waffles and thought it tasted great. I ordered the syrup and spicy sauce on the side. The Belgium waffle kind of fell apart when the syrup went on it and you only get 1. The chicken was amazing tasting!!! The breading wasn't too thick and it had great flavor. My husband got the western burger and he liked it. The menu had lots of things I considered getting. I've had the Buffalo chicken wrao before, and it was yummy.The inside decor is really nice. Clean and crisp and not distracting. Tvs everywhere.“
“In lucked out in the evening we picked to visit was having a special of $2 cheeseburgers loaded. This burger was phenomenal. One of the best burgers in town.Had to wait a little bit for the burger but was definitely right off the grill. Atmosphere was great, one wall of old brick. Have already spread the word and will definitely be returning again“
“Allie W was the best bottle girl I ever had. Was my last weekend in Bloomington and they treated me with the best respect and helped my table have the best time. I would recommend her anytime you ever have a table. She was so helpful with every question and bottle I had for the night.“
“Best customer service I’ve ever received at a local bar ! Tiffany and Tim are such great assets to the Porthole. They were so kind and helped us with everything. Tiffany even went out of her way to get my son a special drink so he could celebrate with us and feel special too. Tim asked us how our food was. Despite the establishment being super busy, we were still given great customer service and the food was great. Will definitely come back again!“
