“The Civilian burger was excellent. Absolutely love the unique flavor with the bacon jam.“

“I took a couple of friends there yesterday and we all were very happy. One ordered 1/4 chicken, another got the ground sirloin steak with onions and mushrooms. I got the ham. The sides are wonderful, especially the green beans, excellent! My wife was in Texas but I told her that when we get moved back to Bloomington next month, we'll patronize these folks again. The couple and I have been there before, many times and never had a complaint. Their food is always good, no complaints. I enjoy the decor also. We also had a very acomadating waitress, sorry, I forgot her name. We'll be back.“

“This place is worth the visit if you are in the area. We like to try non chain restaurants wherever we go. This diner was great. The diner itself was clean, the seating comfortable, and the decor looked new if not well taken care of. Service was fast and pleasant. Food was good. I can recommend the tenderloin or the Reuben sandwich.“

“Good service and atmosphere. Pretty scenery. Food was fresh and fryer oil seemed clean. Will return!“

“We were in Bloomington to visit family and our favorite breakfast spot had poor reviews over the past year since we had been there so I took to TA to find a non-chain place. Stumbled across this place and so glad we gave them a chance! We had a party of 11 with 5 of them children. They were very accommodating. Our server was pleasant and the owner spoke to us when she arrived. They have a big basket of crayons and coloring books for the children. We all enjoyed our meals. The portions are large and very tasty. Most of the party had the Hoosier Haystack, but I had the Rooster Scramble which was delicious. A side cinnamon bun is a must!! This will definitely be our go to breakfast spot when we are in Bloomington!!“

“They don't make them like this anymore - literally. The building housing this small tavern in tiny Gosport was built in 1835. It's definitely not fancy, and much of the decor looks original. It does feature a very nice old wooden bar. The bar food was simple but very well prepared.“
