Dear Managers,I am unfortunately here to let you know that today at the restaurant I was given a very poor service. I was shocked at the behavior of your staff, the eye rolling especially.I am sad that you have hired the people you should be able to trust but I was only 20 minutes into my visit and had a very work-related important call, which I knew about, I was hungry so I situated myself in the corner closer to the back door. Your staff raised the volume of the music during the call which I understand without approaching me, and when I did ask to lower it, I meant it just for the duration of my quick call, I was given eye rolling while the music volume was raised higher. I still had my food in front of me and I just packed it and left, one of them yells behind me: "I hope you have a better day!" The patronizing tone was unbelievable to hear.Today was the worst service i have received in my life and i am sad it was in my favorite place.Thanks,Purnur

Finally tried LP today and oh my gosh, the food is SO GOOD. Also some of the friendliest service around Bloomington. 10/10

Legitimately the worst meal I have ever paid money for. Its like biting into a hot water balloon filled with mustard.

I know I haven't been in for a while because of this stupid pandemic but did you change your rice recipe? I was super excited to get my usual black bean and broccoli classic burrito today but the curry flavor is a bit of a shock. Definitely would've been a more pleasant surprise if I had known it was curried. I hope you will consider bringing back the old recipe. And the tiny amount of broccoli left a lot to be desired.

Fast good food for a good price, their cuban burrito is the best.

The Laughing Planet has been a staple of Bloomington since the mid 90's when I attended IU. We ordered the Classic Burrito recently and it was incredibly disappointing. The rice had been changed to something that looked yellow as if it had turmeric or saffron added to it. There was barely any cheese or salsa fresca and it felt like it was super heavy on this strange rice. We will unfortunately not be frequenting this favorite burrito restaurant of ours due to the changes. Very disappointing.

I have now consumed food from this establishment twice. The first time I had a bean burger, which I don't remember being exceptionally good. But it was good for what it was. Last night I ordered the classic burrito with pinto beans and add sour cream. I thought it was absolutely delicious ! And HUGE ! You definitely get what you pay for.

Can't say enough good things about Laughing Planet! The food is varied, flavorful, fresh, and delicious. Prices are perfect for what you get as well!

Laughing planet is the kind of place I like going when I just really want comfort food and don't feel like cooking for myself.I usually get a Jimmy the Greek burrito, and it really hits the spot. The olives they put on it gives a nice tang and flavor.My only critiques would be that the rice can be quite bland, and I put salsa on my burrito to try and combat that. Also, service is not fast paced at all. It has all the look of a fast grab-and-go restaurant but in reality is run much more like a sitdown restaurant. So don't be surprised if your food takes longer than expectedOn the whole I still really enjoy coming here, especially since I can grab my drink from Soma and then sit on the deck outside to eat it all!
I’d say it’s decently good for a vegan/vegetarian restaurant. I got a classic burrito and nacho mama and my boyfriend got a veggie burger and burrito. We both loved the nachos and the burritos were pretty good too. We both agreed that the burger was a little dry. But it wasn’t bad. Just not a preference of his. To me its alright. The only problem I had was there were onions ? I hate onions. But not much you can really do in that sense since they’re diced up and mixed with all the other ingredients.I saw other reviews saying how the food is pretty mediocre. Idk if we were just starving and would eat anything or if it’s just differences in taste. But we’re definitely gonna come back to try more. The mystery isn’t solved yet!

The staff experience was great. They called me after I placed an order for pickup to let me know about an ingredient issue before they started preparing my order. However, both times I've eaten here the food has been subpar. The first time I ordered the pesto burrito and it didn't really have much flavor or a great texture, still not bad. This last time I ordered the Asian veggie bowl and was very disappointed. The vegetable mix wasn't cooked - maybe that was my fault for not understanding that clearly before ordering, but overall for nearly $15, the bowl contained maybe 1/4 cup of rice, 5 or 6 tofu pieces, and raw, unseasoned vegetables. It was not flavorful or worth the price at all. I'm not sure If I am ordering the wrong menu items, but I will not be back.

Thanks for the great food. The delivery was really quick.

Some of the worst service I've experienced, which was entirely shocking considering this is a local and vegan friendly place. it wasn't until I got home I realized my order wasn't right and I couldn't eat it, so I took it back and asked them to re make the order. When I had to rush back, I was already flustered about being able to eat, and one worker proceeded to then insult me for explaining how I needed it to be made, and no one apologized. As someone who has struggled with e.d. This was triggering and I couldn't hardly eat after. I feel it was entirely disrespectful and unnecessary. I never write reviews or anything but this was just d***

Been coming here for 15+ years. Quality is as good as ever.
