50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Bloomington

“Carissa/karissa was a sweetheart. 10/10 service and looks. Very knowledgeable on the beers. Made me feel welcomed like i was at a hometown local joint. Great staff and vibe. Good music clean bathroom. Ohhh and she ran down a half block in the freezing cold to give me my capri suns i had forgot. Above and beyond service.“

“Two Stick's is an absolute treat. I was introduced to it by a colleague, and dropped in once to try it- and let me tell you, it was totally worth it! I am not a morning person, but I find myself planning early morning visits just to see what new menu item I can try. I don't prefer sweet menu items (and my colleague who got some sweet orders wasn't a fan), but the savoury items absolutely kick ass. Their Zucchini Pumpkin Goat Cheese Hand Pies are an delicious experience with every bite, and the fun part is you get to see them making more in the back. While I did mention the smaller sweet items (either too sweet or bready for my personal taste but still get over by 9am on working days) were not that good, their whole cakes (non slice versions) are really worth trying. I do not have photos to add to my review right now (because everything gets over too soon) but I'm planning to visit again soon (for those amazing hand pies) and will try to get some shots on here.

Service is friendly and as fast as 2 counters can accommodate, so you won't find yourself in a line for longer than 10 minutes if you're lucky.“

“Fantastic food, drinks and staff! Keep up the great work!“

“Thank you for hosting our party yesterday. It was so fun and easy and relaxed! Everyone raved about the mochi muffins.“

“Oliver Winery completely exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the landscape blew me away. The rolling hills, the gardens, the water features—everything is just incredibly peaceful and beautifully maintained. It honestly feels like a hidden getaway.

What made the visit even better was the customer service. Every staff member we met was welcoming, genuine, and clearly cared about making our experience a great one. Nothing felt rehearsed or rushed. They were just kind, knowledgeable people who made us feel at home.

The highlight, though, was the Blueberry Moscato. It was unbelievably smooth, fresh, and full of real flavor. I ended up taking bottles home because it was that good.

If you’re anywhere near Bloomington, make the trip. Oliver Winery has stunning scenery, wonderful people, and some of the best wine I’ve ever tasted. I can’t recommend it enough.“

“the apricotter was my favorite out of the flights! a very nice interior and good music, was a very nice experience“

“Absolutely amazing food and top tier customer service! The deserts are delicious and they have a great selection of toppings for the potatoes. The owners really go above and beyond!“

“Lennie's is still great! I recommend the ruby bloom amber ale. The original Lennie's sandwich was fantastic.“

“crab Rangoon was so good. portions was really big“

“Fabulous little restaurant on the courthouse square in Bloomington. The food was outstanding and Jeremy provided most excellent customer service. This was our first visit and we can’t wait to come back again.“

“My own version of Cheers. Come alone, leave with a few friends in your pocket! 😁“

“The best donut I've ever had. The best donuts in town.“

“Good wine, Friendly staff.“

“Korea Restaurant has a pretty predictable but large menu of gimbap, various soups, bulgogi, bibimbap, hotpot, KFC, teriyaki, and more, with some Japanese-style dishes in addition to the Korean. This restaurant, like the others on this street, is in a converted house, and the environment is comfortable and unpretentious. They had K-pop music videos playing on a TV in the dining room. There was an older man and a woman serving together; the woman was very sweet, the man came off as quite serious.
I ordered the tofu hot stone bibimbap which also came with an assortment of banchan. None of the food really stood out to me but it was all pretty good. I definitely would've liked more tofu in the bibimbap, but I did appreciate that it seemed to be lightly pan-fried rather than deep-fried. With hot sauce added, the bowl was very flavourful but not too salty. The vegetables were all cooked well and the fried egg also had nice crispy edges. The portion was filling, especially with the banchan. The bibimbap came out literally seconds after the banchan, so I was a little worried it would get cold before I had the chance to eat the banchan, but the stone bowl kept it nice and hot until the last bite.
I would say this is an okay place for vegetarians/vegans since they do have a number of entrees that I believe should be vegetarian or vegan (more if you remove the egg), but they don't label which dishes are vegetarian, so you might have to ask questions about hidden meat/seafood ingredients if you're not familiar with Korean food. If you are vegetarian, let them know when you order, because even though the bibimbap I ordered was vegetarian, some of the banchan (fishcakes and likely the kimchi) contained seafood.
The overall experience was positive but not outstanding in terms of the food or atmosphere, so while I might return if I'm craving Korean, I want to try other Korean places in the neighbourhood first to see what else is out there.“

“My daughter suggested we go to breakfast at Scenic View since she really liked it when she visited previously. I was not disappointed! I knew the weather was going to be nice and they have limited seating, so I made reservations the evening before. I made them for an inside table, but we were able to change it to outside when we talked to the hostess. I didn’t want to take the risk of reserving an outside table in case the weather turned. We ended up getting a table with a really good view. The classic eggs Benedict was delicious. I will definitely be going back there!“

“Great atmosphere here! If you like kpop and korean drama, you’ll love the vibes. My partner and I come for half our date nights and can confirm that the following are some of the best food we’ve had in town:
- Japchae
- Deep fried chicken cutlet
- King kani roll
- Army stew“

“Love their food service and the lovely store that you can browse before or after you great meal. When traveling you can always count on CB to have great food, lovely ornaments, and tons of candy from the past. Something for everyone!“

“Great steaks 🥩 Great service“

“Today I stopped in for lunch was sat right away , I got the soup salad and breadsticks and the new mango tea ,the food was delicious as always and my waitress was Aneisha she did a great job and I just loved talking to her ,she made my day with great conversation you are very blessed to have her .thank you for the great service.“

“really amazing brewery one of my favorite places when I ride the Greenway now all they need is live music but food and beer are 🔥“

“Love this place. Own brewed beer, whiskey and vodka! Great selection of drinks and plenty of tasty food as well. Had some fried brussel sprouts instead of fries which were great if you don't mind the flavor. Forgot to leave the tip after getting some change so popped it through the door for Emily a couple of days later🤭“

“The food is amazing one of the best gyros I’ve had. You get a good amount of food for what you order and everything is seasoned well. I got the gyro plate for about $10 and it came with a healthy serving of food. The meat was good perfectly and the tzatziki sauce pulls everything together.“

“Great people! Great Food! Definitely recommend“

“Staff are extremely friendly, drink choices are nearly limitless, and the food satisfies what you'd expect from a brewpub. Pleasant atmosphere whether a game is on or not. It does get smokey (from the kitchen) inside at times, however.“

“My first time visiting this place yesterday. I enjoyed the whatever bowl. I will be returning tomorrow. 😊 The ladies at Virginia Beach store was very welcoming and friendly.“

“I love Hive! Great place for vegetarians!“

“Zero Degrees has east Asian food and drinks including but not limited to bubble tea, ramen, Korean-style corn dogs, and egg waffles. The store is colourful and cute but not over the top, and the seating is very comfortable. They have wifi.
I got a taro meets ube drink with pudding and a pumpkin spice egg waffle (fall special). I haven't had an egg waffle in a while since I don't know of any other place in Bloomington that makes them and I love pumpkin spice, so I was very excited about this waffle, and it did not let me down. The pumpkin spice flavour was nice, the waffle was fluffy and cooked right. They lightly drizzled it with a caramel sauce but the waffle itself wasn’t too sweet so it balanced out. I liked the taro meets ube, which was taro milk tea with ube paste. The taro and ube flavours were similar but enhanced each other. I didn't see if I could adjust the sweetness level, but the default wasn't overly sweet. I was able to get this drink with soy milk instead of regular milk, although the barista let me know that the ube paste contains milk that can't be removed.
The barista and lady cooking in the back both seemed very friendly. My drink was ready quickly. It took a while, maybe 15 minutes to get my waffle, but they apologized for the wait.“

“this place is amazing I had one and I am definitely going back for another one“

“Grabbed lunch today and the food was made fresh and fast. We were all thrilled with our food! Crab Rangoon… 🤤. Fried rice, dumplings, the spicy coconut soup with ramen, spring rolls, and Thai iced teas…all delicious!“

“Nashville location was perfect for a gluten free birthday meal and drinks!! Try the Pink Pony and dip platter! Huge selection of tequilas. Julia and Shawn were personable and timely!“

“I ordered a Ruben and when it arrived the toast was black and burnt. I never complain so I said nothing and tried to eat the sandwich but the toast was very hard. After trying to eat it I just gave up not wanted to be a bad customer and make my two adult friends uncomfortable. I just paid the bill $70.+and gave the server Emily a $20. tip. My friend ordered one of her usuals but the sauce was not what she normally gets. We were told that the cooks sometimes use whatever is available and finally just sent out a replacement with NO sauce. She finally just gave up and ate whatever she ordered. The third friend her husband avoided the situation. We finally gave up and I paid the bill with my Sky Miles AMEX card total $90.+ We came into the restaurant probably around 7:30 or 8pm. Sorry for the bother but it bothered me I've lived here since 1972.“

“Excellent in every aspect. Great food, service and staff. New owners are also very friendly and definitely putting an effort the business and very accommodating, even with the current situation. Please give them a try if you haven’t yet.“

“I both deliver bowl and smoothies from them to customers from door dash and I order for myself. Always very clean and quick to prepare delivery orders and personal orders. The Green RX was delicious for a green smoothie. The bowls with almond butter are also filling and wonderful! For nutrition and fuel you cannot go wrong stopping by Rush Bowls! 😊 🍃“

“People from TechOn recommended us to come here to get ice cream in the meantime we were waiting for a repair to be done..
They weren't lying about how good this place is. I got the grasshopper cone, now I need to come back to get more 😅
Come here and enjoy.
Thanks“

“batista Eve or Evie drew cute Halloween art on my cup. it made my day!“

“I’ve been eating at this place weekly ever since June of 2025. The student employees and the chefs have been so incredibly kind to me. I come in and order milk all the time. At least I used to until they took it off the menu. Terrible look for the upper management for taking this item off the menu. Clearly rhe upper management who I will not name but I know do not care about me getting my milk. Thank you again to the student employees and chefs that enjoyed giving me my milk while I could get it. I love this place and will continue to visit for the rest of my undergrad career and possible life.“

“Intimate setting with great food and fabulous drinks. They distill their own booze so the drinks are carefully crafted. They have a great happy hour deal for drinks and fun events like bingo, movie nights, and live music each week. I had the espresso martini and it was delicious, not too sweet. The OMG fries were a hit at the table. For brunch, the chicken biscuit and BLT are both excellent options. We will definitely be back!“

“Absolutely wonderful service and incredible food. I came with my partner and we had such a great time. Everyone here was very nice and polite with us, and I cannot express it enough, this food is amazing. Definitely adding it to my list of favorite restaurants.“

“Great beer!!! We loved Tropical Vortex!“

“This subway is the BEST. The staff is warm and very friendly. I’m so impressed as they remember my sons order before I even get a chance to tell them! They make customers feel special and like family. Not the mention they are expert sandwich artists!!!“

“Love it! First time trying this place and it's great! Prices are good and the service was even better. The lady up front was extremely nice and knowledgeable when it came to my wife having a gluten free issue. And the gluten free options are really good. We will be back! And you will take my tip next time lol. The lady up front is very very very very nice. Thank you“

“I hadn't had a Big Bacon Classic since they very first came out it brought back a great childhood memory and I came here they were fast courteous and friendly not to mention the burger was on point 👌 just like I remember... but the bun was different no big deal still delicious thanks to Ricky and Poifi Ethan David and Eric need a raise“

“I ate here with my dad and my 15 month old this morning(10-3-25), and the hostess very nicely got us a high chair for the baby without us needing to ask. Most places I go acts like it's a huge inconvenience to get us the high chair. So I thought that was a very nice gesture. Our food was great, and our server was too. I don't come to Bloomington often but next time I'll visit this Bob Evans again!“

“We had a larger group including family from out of town, and they accommodated us easily!! The food and service were both great!!“

“Little disappointed that I downloaded the app to use at this store, and this is the only store within 50 miles that you cannot use the app for. Please open up your walk up counter. It's ridiculous you make it drive thru only. Nothing more annoying than having cars blocking lanes of traffic to get a blizzard.“

“I work right around the corner from the Starbucks on Indiana, and I try to make it in there a few times a week at least. Today I placed a mobile order to run and pick it up and make it back to my store quickly, but as I was leaving we had a customer walk in and I was unable to get up there for a great amount of time to pick up my coffee. When I went to pick it up, they offered to remake it for me since it had been sitting there for so long. It really made my day! They're always the greatest, and kindest, and I really love going to this Starbucks. 10/10 would recommend.“

“the food was soo good I'd recommended to any one who loves pizza“

“Amazing food and incredible service! Loved it. We are visiting from out of town and will definitely be back when in town.“

“Every time I’ve stopped in at the drive thru Anthony has been working. Anthony is great at what he does, always has a smile accompanied with a small conversation. I leave with a smile myself! Thanks Anthony!“

“I love this Starbucks because the staff is so friendly. They always help out when I'm missing a drink pick up and even when one of my friends forgot to send in an order, they prepared it as soon as she did. You can go to any Starbucks to get coffee but the staff here are fantastic and keep me coming back.“
