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 sticks is a very unique bakery here in town. They have baked goods you simply won't find elsewhere. Everything is made that day and once it is gone... it is gone. A personal favorite is the potato & spinach handpie and theor focaccia bread whatever its ingredients that day is alway solid.

Pretty much a take it and eat it else where in & out type of place. However the product is good, the staff is attentive, and the menu is unique. It stands out Vs the other bakery's in town based on its menu.“

“Beautiful dinner at Half Bottle Bistro. The shrimp cocktail was refreshing. Homemade dough on the Pinsa delicious. Bottles of wine nicely priced. 5 stars! We will be back! (Thanks for dessert HBB. We are hooked!)“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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! 😁“

“Best unique donuts in town hands down. The chocolate peanut butter is my absolute favorite!
And in a town where every local donut shop is closed on Mondays, I was stoked to find them open and they instantly became my new fav spot ☺️🍩☕“

“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.“

“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“

“So this place is awesome.
One block off IU campus.
Friendly staff. Craft QuaffOn beers.
Best fish tacos I’ve found in Bloomington. Had the Wedge salad and truffle fries too. Both delish.
I’ll be back.“

“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!“

“Truly cannot believe that I've never left a written review for the restaurant that launched me into a decade of hospitality.

Thankful for all the kindness, polite guests and rockstar staff FHG has seen over the years.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Okay, the curb appeal of this place is not the best, but don't let that stop you from going to King Gyros! I hadn't been here for a while, and decided to stop and try the drive-thru. I am so glad I did! The menu here offers a lot of variety to make the whole family happy. My personal favorites are the fried mushrooms and the Gyros. Once I told my husband to try the drive through here, I have been finding their receipts in his car at least once a week! LOL! I'm always taken a little aback when they take my order because they never write it down. Somehow, they always get it right. Everything is made when you order it. Everything we have tried has been delicious! Seriously, you've got to try this place! You will keep going back like we do.“

“Great people! Great Food! Definitely recommend“

“If you are here in the fall absolutely ask for a sample of the Apple Butter and Pumpkin Flavors!!! We absolutely LOVED Both! We got a scoop of each and split it! So delicious! Our daughter enjoyed her vanilla cone. The candy eyes were a cute touch 🥰

We’re supposed to leave town tomorrow morning and are already contemplating coming back before we leave!! So Soo Good!“

“I love HIVE! The team members there are always helpful with menu selection choices. The chicken salad is delicious - easily my favorite of all time. Great dining experience with indoor and outdoor seating. Highly recommend this Bloomington staple!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 🔥“

“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! 😊 🍃“

“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.“

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

“Loved dining on the patio at the union for our college reunion homecoming weekend! Food was excellent bar fare! We very much enjoyed the charcuterie board and hummus apps and the fish and chips and tenderloin. They were a bit understaffed but we weren't in a rush and the server did her best! Will def return!!“

“I never write reviews on restaurants, but this one deserves the recognition. Friendly & welcoming owners, delicious food, and a relaxing atmosphere. We are looking forward to our next visit.“

“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.“

“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“

“Great patio seating. Amazing spirits. The first server was very knowledgeable and kind. The second time the server seemed to try to get us in and out and unable to provide further explanation of the drinks when asked. Also they automatically add 20% gratuity even with only a table of two which the first server let us know and the second server was hoping we didn’t notice.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“The oddest thing about this is that I don't have my locator turn on in my phone. But this white castle is always a good place to get a case. But nobody enjoys the company with me after. White castle is the best way to spend time with family and friends

Parking: It's not hard to park in there lot. But the drive thru is a little weird.

Wheelchair accessibility: There's a ramp.“

“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!“
