Restaurants near Ellettsville

“I love this establishment and encourage anyone in Bloomington to eat here! It has been a perfect constant for years now. It’s such a fun little environment and the homemade baking is just phenomenal. I have been eating these biscuits and gravy for days in a row and can drink a whole crockpot of their coffee. Also, so cool to see the cold brew freshly brewed for the 1pm energy boost. It’s a perfect place in Ellettsville to get a quick breakfast or to-go morning/lunch special and I can’t say enough about the service. The prices are fair and it’s got that familiar family feel. Don’t miss out on this hidden gem and I can say with confidence that it won’t disappoint.”

“Definitely a touch of Hawaii in Indiana. The Teri chicken and Mac salad was ono! It has been a long time since I had a plate lunch. Thank you!”

“love there pizza and you cant get unlimited toppings”

“Absolutely love Kenny’s Tavern!

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive without being overbearing — they really make you feel like a regular, even on your first visit.

The food is outstanding — everything was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The wings were some of the best I’ve ever had, and the burger was cooked to perfection. They’ve got a great drink selection too, including local brews and some creative cocktails.

Whether you’re here for a casual dinner, a night out with friends, or just to grab a drink and watch the game, Kenny’s Tavern hits the mark every time.

Highly recommend — this place is a hidden gem!”

“I love stopping in when I want to treat myself. I love the variety of drink options they offer; the coffee is never burnt or bitter tasting and I love the strawberry or blood orange freeze drinks. The food is served hot and the muffins are fresh. The staff answers my questions and will ask what I enjoy, then make recommendations. Layna and Jenna are always helpful and friendly. would give them 10 stars if possible.”

“Worst service wouldn't recommend especially with all the pizza places in town!! Ordered a pizza not only did they take it out of my account 2xs never delivered my pizza! The manager had a didn't care attitude!! Won't ever order pizza from them.”

“The store was clean and staff were friendly.
I ordered the large pink sugar cookies and the large chocolate chip cookies.
They were consistent in size and decorated beautifully. They were fresh, warm and delicious!
I ordered the 4 pack at basically $4.75 each
Cookies worth the price 💗🤎”

“Got the mackerel. It was slightly blackened and so very delicious. 6 of us and it still just 120 with tip. Highly recommend. I'm allergic to ginger and they helped me work around that when ordering.”

“The best authentic New York bagels in the Mid-West, possibly the US! Served warm, and they just melt in your mouth. I bring them up to Indy from Bloomington, and I'm super excited with the news Ed is opening a location in Zionsville, where I now live. ❤️”

“My time at michael’s uptown Café was wonderful very chill and elegant my food was so delicious and the crème brûlée to die for overall It’s an amazing restaurant to enjoy an amazing meal and chill with friends and family”

“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.”

“Loved the food and good vibes 💯”

“We’ve been coming here for over two years and have never had any complaints. The staff are so friendly, and the wines and food are to die for!”

“Beautiful, spacious modern decor. Impressed by the esthetic from the moment of entering. Food was excellent. Got the baby beet salad. Very good, but I think the beets (fewer perhaps) should’ve been chopped into smaller pieces with more strawberries and greenery. Very filling. I had the roasted eggplant for my entree. Wonderfully seasoned, served over a bed of white rice. I would definitely get it again. My desert choice was the blueberry cheesecake. Scrumptious! The staff was very friendly and efficient. Will definitely go back. Nice outdoor patio area as well. Thumbs up!”

“Came for the IU Football watch party, was pleased by the friendly service, great pizza (vegan options available), and good beer.

Although we arrived kinda late and all the seats were full, the waitress brought out a folding table and still accommodated us. It's very refreshing to get friendly and welcoming service in a college town bar.

The venue is spacious and clean. There are a few arcade games as well. Felt like a family-friendly environment yet also trendy with nice vibes. We enjoyed our experience!”

“I had the Affogato today and it was amazingggg. Even though I've been going here for years, I don't think I ever appreciated how good their espresso really is until I got to taste it by itself and then with ice cream! so good”

“If you know, you know — Mother Bear’s Pizza in Bloomington is legendary. Our go‑to order was always the deep‑dish pepperoni with extra sauce, and I’m pretty sure I’ve eaten hundreds of them over the years. Nothing else tastes quite like it. It’s one of those places that becomes part of your life story — great food, great memories, and a place you never forget.”

“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!”

“We decided to try Hoosier Seoulmate for dinner. We came in after 4ish. We were seated immediately. We ordered Bibimbap and Spicy Seafood Noodles. Service was quick. Food was piping hot and absolutely fantastic. Portion sizes were generous. Staff members were super friendly and helpful. We will definitely be going back.”
