23 Best American Restaurants in Bloomington

“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“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“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).“

“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“

“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!“

“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!“

“Great dining experience!!“

“Everything we had was absolutely delicious. Sourdough to start, short ribs, filet, mac & cheese and truffle fries. Dessert was creme brulee, ice cream, and cheesecake. Sooo good. Peyton, our server, was excellent. Very friendly and right there when we needed something. Highly recommend Cedar + Stone. Can't wait to go back.“

“Great food and speedy friendly service!“

“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!!“

“This is an incredibly impressive restaurant in the first place, but especially for a hotel. The food was almost perfect (the pictures they have on Google represent the restaurant well), the atmosphere is that of fine dining, the prices are reasonable, and we were blown away. The service a fairly friendly but not as accommodating as one would hope; not a huge deal.“

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

“Awesome food and great service“

“We had their French dip with fries. Everything tasted great! Tomato bisque was extraordinary!!! Bread that was served with it melted on my mouth. We are from Hudson, WI. We will visit the Woodbury location for sure! Oh, I might add, great service which is hard to come by now days.“

“Jim, our server, was awesome. Very friendly and helpful. Hosted a friendly environment for us! Taste was delicious (try the Pepperoni Smash Burger)!“

“The nachos were ok... chicken that I paid extra for had no taste what so ever. It could have used some seasoning. The olives were a good touch. I love black olives. The waitress was amazing!!! Two thumbs up to waitress Caitlin. We had a semi-big group, and she was on top of all the orders (food, drinks, and shots) she kept it all organized and didn't look at all flustered. It was pretty loud there so if you like a quiet get to know ya place I'd do somewhere else.“

“I cannot say enough nice things about this restaurant. The food quality is awesome and the service is exceptional. Their carne asada is something I highly recommend. I would fly all the way from New Jersey for just that! They have a number of gluten-free options which is always great. I ate dinner here on two days and on both occasions my server was Ashlea. Her service (with a smile) is incredible. She is very knowledgeable about ingredients in the menu and can advise on the right choice of items and drinks. She is extremely efficient--always on her toes--and is a true asset to the business. Ashlea made my dining experience a pleasure. Thank you!“

“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!“

“Everything is delicious 😋, I am going back“
