Restaurants in Bloomington

“Local business with so much heart for the community! Support them at all cost!”

“Yummy food and friendly service!”

“Went there today for the first time. Great food, chef kissed delicious! Great service, friendly atmosphere. Wish my youngests food came out at the same time as the other 4 of us (his came out 10 minutes later and he’s 2) but portions were so big we had enough of our food to share as he didn’t eat his when it finally came. Otherwise delicious and would definitely recommend”

“Food is very good, The service is also very good & friendly. I have become a regular here. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you want to have a taste of Indian food.”

“Invite your family and friends and they won’t be disappointed.”

“Victoria was our server for dinner tonight, and amazing would be an understatement!! She took such great care of us. We will definitely be back soon!”

“I cannot state more how much we love Pizza Novara! We’ve gone to Bloomington for summer vacation the past 3 years now and make sure we get to Pizza Novara at LEAST once every trip. We’ve yet to have anything disappointing or less than amazing. We have an incredibly picky toddler who devours her pizza every single time!”

“First time I visited since Veterans Day. Your sticker indicated a three percent service fee due to supply chain issues. Why don’t you just raise your prices to cover those issues. If the supply chaiin issues are solved you can offer a price rollback. I’ll find another place that posts their prices instead of service charging.”

“Food is Always Amazing, Staff is always Friendly and Welcoming! I always make it a stop on my trips across Minnesota! Great Place!”

“Amazing breakfast in a clean and beautiful space. Ask for Fancie, she will take excellent care of you!”

“awesome place to work... they treat their employees very well and always want to help the customer get what they want. Great place”

“I visited today with five other friends for our weekly lunch.

I tried the Outback Burger, which intrigued me because it included soft cactus! Our server, Sara, recommended it as one of her favorites.

Though the restaurant was quite busy, she gave us amazing service, and we left very contented.

Look forward to seeing us again soon!”

“Lost my comment. Try again. On May 19th a group of family members went to the Bloomington Culvers. We were celebrating my grandsons grade school concert. I was unable to go up front to order and my son asked if someone could help me. Jose (spelling) I believe was the night manager. He came back to my table and took my order. He was so gracious and kind. I so appreciated his help. I didn't have the right walker and it would have been difficult without help to go up front. I can't thank him enough. It is so nice to go to a restaurant and know everyone is so friendly and willing to make your experience a good one. Thank you Don and Misty for such a wonderful crew. Now if you only had your fried chicken back on the menu, my favorite. See you soon”

“My daughter and I just had the *most* delicious lunch here! Highly recommend and we will be back! (This time we had Bangalore style masala dosa, onion dosa with chutney’s and sambar & a wonderful palak paneer with cardamom infused rice) but there is so much great South Indian food on this menu that I look forward to revisiting!”

“This place is so delicious! I got the falafel pita wrap and Greek salad, the portions are perfect for lunch and the veggies were so fresh and crisp. The pita and falafel are perfect. Highly recommend :)”

“This is my family’s new favorite Brazilian steakhouse. Excellent food and service! Everything was high quality and very well seasoned. The staff was responsive to our needs and friendly. We will definitely be back!”

“Honey, chicken salad to die for. Yum”

“I am from Massachusetts so I have never had your food before. Placed an order earlier in the afternoon for a kids meal and a side of meatballs. Unfortunately the meatballs were not ready so I left without them. The pesto pasta kids meal was outstanding - so when it came time to order dinner I went back. The same gentleman who took my first order - remembered me and asked if I still wanted the meatballs - I almost didn't get them - but I am so glad I did! Some of the best meatballs and sauce I have ever eaten. I'll now be on the lookout to visit your other locations if there are any where I travel. What a terrific experience and a great way to end my visit! Maybe one day one of your places will open in Massachusetts - what a wonderful day that will be.”

“I visited the Bayshore location in Glendale, Wisconsin for lunch. I used the coupon for $5 off & it was absolutely outstanding. I will be back for sure.”

“With my wife being out of town, I was flying solo for dinner. She left me a gift card for Olive Garden that I decided to use.\n\nI went early (5:00 PM) to avoid the usual dinner crowd. I was greeted at the door by three friendly, smiling faces. While at the table, I was given a menu and saw that they still had the soup/salad and breadsticks on their menu. That is what I ordered. The minestrone soup was equally as good as what my wife makes at home. My wife is a fantastic cook, so that is saying quite a bit.\n\nDuring my brief stay, my server was very attentive without being overbearing. She refilled the items that I was low on. I was pleasantly surprised by her attentiveness. \n\nThere are those that will ridicule Olive Garden stating that their Italian food is not real Italian. I had zero complaints about my food and would recommend their wait staff to any one of their competitors.”

“Always good service & good food!”

“gone here many times and they've got great food!”

“This was our family's first time here. The food was phenomenal! The cheese curds are very similar to street fair cheese curds. IYKYK. Our waitress had a great recommendation for the birria bowl. It didn't disappoint! Neither did the dessert. 10/10 recommend. it's reasonably priced as well. Family of 5. We had 1 appetizer, 1 kids meal, 4 adult meals, 5 drinks, 2 desserts, all for $126 (before our waitresses tip).”

“Robert P. made our annual visit to the restaurant spectacular this year. He understood exactly what we come there for and pieced it all together perfectly. He made sure that my coffee was fresh and topped it off to a perfect temp every time. His care & attention was a great way to end our trip!”

“The food and atmosphere is excellent.. and the owners are wonderful people. Highly recommend!”

“First visit in years and since restaurant reopened. We all enjoyed our meals. My wife, always very particular on the food she receives, did not have a single complaint - amazing - this would have to be at least a 4-star+ rating from her. \n\nI had promised to order scallops the next time out and there they were! Six bacon wrapped sea scallops, served with a delicious crisp lettuce salad. The salad was dressed with a tasty Italian dressing. I had been craving scallops for many months and was very pleased with Red Lobster's offering! The scallops were lightly seared, cooked through and not translucent, slightly sweet, and no fishy taste - excellent! Each was wrapped with tasty thinly sliced bacon with crisp edges but not over cooked, also. very good. Ordered a side of clam chowder and was told "Manhattan Style" was available. I received New England Style but did not complain because it was thick, creamy, hot and had a good quantity of potato and clam pieces. Best I've had since last trip to Clearwater Florida. I'm not sure the waiter knew the difference between the two kinds of chowders. None-the-less, a satisfying chowder! Almost forgot - great biscuits.\n\nGood, pleasant waiter and service. Red Lobster has re-earned my business! \n\nMac”

“So much fun! We had a blast!”

“Great dining experience!!”

“My wife and I went here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Food was very good. Our server Ann was very friendly and attentive. We have dined here often. Certainly recommend it.”

“This place is so unassuming and can be tricky to get to. The "C" button doesn't work sometimes, but keep trying, because this place serves some of the best burritos I've had since I moved out of California. Their regular al pastor burrito is only $13, but the serving size is like two Chipotle burritos but with better-quality ingredients. You will leave with an extremely full stomach. Mucho gusto.”

“Great place for small get togethers but not not weddings unless it’s very small”

“Love the manager he was announcing the customers name and having fun im from Madison Wisconsin we need that energy up there”

“Quick at the drive-thru window, and I've never had to wait for food for more than a couple of minutes.
I also like that they're open 24 hours, very convenient.

Parking: Entrance is somewhat difficult to navigate upon entering the parking lot from the street.”

“Aroma of the nuggets is a stench i hold close to my heart.”

“Always good service, yummy Big Mac & Fries Chocolate mint Shake !”

“Our order was correct and fresh.

Parking: Parking lot located in front of building.

Kid-friendliness: As kid friendly as any fast food places”

“This place is nothing short of amazing! From the food to the fantastic customer service and is truly a hidden gem that needs more recognition. They really put the city of Bloomington on the map with there flavorful Gyros and there newest addition to the menu the viral Dubai Chocolate bars and Dubai chocolate strawberry cups! I have tried many places so far in search of the best Dubai Chocolate sensations and they have my #1 pick! The Strawberry Chocolate cups are made to order and definitely worth the wait! The place is comfy and gives off a very cozy vibe while staying true to their culture and what they provide. They have a forever customer out of me and I will keep coming back! This place is the best!”

“Nice service good food price is little high but ok”

“Welcome to the neighborhood Nine Mile!! First timer…loved the beer, pretzels, popcorn. Very knowledgeable staff. Patio was being constructed when we were there, looks awesome. One suggestion, please consider changing the uncomfortable chairs (tables of two) by the windows looking over the patio. Fortunately, we were able to find bar chairs to move to where we met other customers who moved for the same reason. We’ll be back to enjoy the patio! Cheers!”

“The London Fig was excellent. Perfect for a snowy cold day.”

“This place is excellent and everyone is so sweet too!”

“Good food, great time😊😊”

“I went here to open a savings account in person and had a pleasant surprise of a time. The employee that helped me (Amy) was incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout the whole process. Even though we hit a couple road blocks, Amy stayed positive and even gave my friends and I a free drink from the café! I ended up getting my account open and more questions than I thought I had answered. Also, the sparkling strawberry lemonade topped off this 5 star review. Amazing customer service all around, would come back here again! :)”

“Haven't stopped in for nearly a decade! Came in with a little one, my little one is now 14! Everyone was as nice as they were back then. Very accommodating, friendly and food was as good as always. The woman with short dark hair was a gem. The old guy regulars, very nice. Thanks for lunch!”

“I go to the Bloomington location. Great food and nice staff.”

“I was impressed with the quality of the meals. I tried some of their appetizers (including a garlic Naan), main dish (Kabuli Pulao) and to finalize a great Saffron tea with a Baklava (tasty desert)! It was a cozy place full of joy and great flavors!”

“Huge portions and delicious!”

“Very good ice cream from Sebastian Joe's creamery. Quick service. Reasonable pricing. The space is a little dingy, but they do have both indoor and outdoor seating.”

“I am a fan of small locally owned coffee shops and WSP is one of my long time favorites. Thanks Mary!”

“Great service, delicious healthy food. Try the sambusa!”

“The lady that works here says they make their noodles fresh everyday. Their pho Noodle are bigger then the usual you get at Vietnamese restaurants. The pho broth is more greasy too. Most be northern Vietnamese style pho🤣.
But I ain't complaining it was delicious! I would definitely come back.
BTW they automatic charge you 18% tip.”

“Chai latte with oat milk and a half pump of marshmallow syrup is legit one of the best things I've ever had at a coffee shop!”

“We didn’t eat here, but we did grab some coffee—and it was delicious! If you’re looking for something a little different, this is definitely the place to check out. Enjoy!”

“Just great food - I am a creature of habit with my bacon cheeseburger purchases, but I tried the patty melt this visit. I was not disappointed - it was fantastic! I will be ordering it next time, too! (They also have great fries and onion rings!)”

“we thoroughly enjoyed our classic lobster 🦞 roll. It did not disappoint!”

“All i can say is - WOW! James - you made our experience the best we could have ever asked for. We didn't come here expecting much But your sweet character and attention to detail in our order showed us so much difference. The food was the best we've ever had at an applebees! Thank you chef, and James!! Thank you for making our experience truly unforgettable. We will be back just for you! Truly. It's the little things. Thank you, James!”

“100% would recommend coming to this Caribou. It's one of the best Caribou's in the area. The environment is always welcoming and the employees are always friends.”

“I typically go to Southtown for Applebees because thats my place, but I went at this one once and it was also phenomenal!!!! Staff were soooo unbelievably kind and helpful! Definitely helps that the host that sat us was fine as hell. Loll. Anyways, food came out super fast and was so delish! Service was amazing. Bathrooms were clean and sparkling. Lobby was clean. Great Applebees with even better staff!!”

“Zantigo is excellent. I usually order their green chili burrito, with two hot chilitos. Very yummy. (you have to slurp the burrito. hahaha)”

“I really needed an energy-boosting coffee
drink. The barista was very helpful & the
coffee was perfect & I got my grocery shopping done.”

“Good tasting pizza with whole fresh ingredients. Staff is always friendly and respect with clean facilities.

Parking: 8500 block on Lyndale Ave South, Bloomington,MN has plenty of free parking plus take out/handicapped spaces.”

“Davanni's has always had THE BEST customer service, especially if you contact them through the website. It is fast, personalized, and there is always a resolution.”

“Our new favorite place to get takeout Chinese! Food is fresh hot and excellent tasting.”

“Awesome food and great service”

“The food was super fresh and just overall amazing! Kevin and staff made sure we were taken care of from the moment we walked in!”

“Reliable place for Greek-Mediterranean food. My family and I visit here at least twice a month when I don’t want to cook. Order online or drop by — food is prepared quickly and is fresh. I like that I can get a quick meal that’s vegetarian with lots of options for veggie and my family can get the meat they want. I know the menu by heart. They’re pretty good about making substitutions if you need. There are better Greek restaurants in the Twin Cities, but at this price point and for the convenience, Falafel King is one of the best choices. Save some money and drink water. Dining in is ok, but not exactly anniversary dinner type atmosphere. Staff is always friendly at Bloomington location.”

“Stopped by Smokestack Express today for lunch with my daughter and my brother and hands down ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. The brisket was tender, ribs were perfect, beans had a ton of flavor, Mac n cheese was delicious and don’t sleep on the sauces. Personally I really liked the spicy and the hot but that sweet was also amazing as well. Trevor and his crew do an amazing job. Everything was cooked to perfection. If you’re in the Bloomington Mn area this is a must stop place for Que! Great job Smokestack Express. 5 ⭐️’s all the way.”

“I’m so glad that there’s a new bakery in Bloomington that makes some amazing cookies, breads and pastries from Guatemala! So delicious! You won’t be disappointed!”

“Favorite place to get boba tea!”

“Now let me start by saying that I’m a Chipotle girlie through and through. Always have been. Tonight was my first time trying Pancheros, and let me tell you, chef’s kiss. 😚

I got the burrito bowl as ordered:
• Rice
• Extra chicken
• Queso
• Hottest Red Sauce
• Shredded Cheese
• Jalapeños (super fresh and spicy 🌶️ btw)
• Corn Salsa
• Pico De Gallo
• Extra Sour Cream

It was soooo good! 😋 The flavor of the chicken was great, super fresh and not dry at all. It was so juicy! The jalapeños were fresh and the hot sauce was saucin’! 🔥 i love the way the shredded cheese just melted into the ingredients in the bowl and every bite was perfect. I also ordered the guacamole and chips and that was also tasty! Love that they use the blue corn chips, perfectly salted btw.

I definitely will come back here for some more! The pricing was reasonable, similar to chipotle but I think a little cheaper! I also ordered two tacos for my six and four year old, pretty basic with just chicken, cheese and sour cream but they both devoured them. So it’s a win for mom!

Thanks Pancheros. 🤍🤍👏🏽👏🏽”

“Absolutely love this place! All of their drinks are phenomenal. I, especially love the brown sugar crème brûlée bubble tea. So, good! The service is always impeccable, and friendly. The store itself is cute, and always neat. I would definitely recommend!”

“Great food and speedy friendly service!”

“Absolutely delicious! You will not be disappointed with any of their unique desserts or refreshing drinks! 5 out of 5”

“Great people and great drinks”

“We have the privilege of being able to worship Jesus with the founder of Baking Betty’s. The cookies are almost as amazing as she is! I would highly recommend these gourmet cookies over any other bakery! A must try! Thank you Emily!”

“Really nice place for friends and family.”

“Great place to meet with friends”

“It's in an office building but quite accessible from the outside. The people are extremely friendly and they have a very wide selection of food items on the menu at a reasonable price.”

“Very delicious !! Specially the CHURRO ! My favorite . But the worker was rude she didn’ t explain to Us what was the first,second and third step. She gave us an attitude when she asked the questions and we were all lost lol it was our first time trying them😐.”

“I had a bit of time before work so I stopped at this Caribou for a snack. I told the barista what sort of coffee drink I was looking for and she suggested a flavored hot press coffee which does not have as much sugar as the lattés. The hot press was exactly what I wanted, but the flatbread I ordered was pretty rubbery and unsatisfying. Great location though with free Caribou designated parking spots in the garage. The staff was wonderful! And, they were somehow not busy at 7:30 this morning.”

“Best hot chocolate ever!!! It’s definitely a next level for hot chocolate. The crapes were moist and soft and not too crispy which made it even better. The oreo one was wayyyy too sweet, but i guess you know what you are getting. Strawberry nutella crepes were a big hit

Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible”

“Love the manager he was announcing the customers name and having fun im from Madison Wisconsin we need that energy up there”

“First time today! Very good! By far the best subs around! Very welcoming when you enter. Will definitely drive the 70 miles to come back. Thanks”
