I like this place. Â It's pretty cool. Â They got Karaoke and Beer. Â But that's not all, they have a great menu. Â Not "great" in terms of size, but in terms of how good the food is. Â Being a vegetarian, I'm limited to two items for a meal: Tuna Salad and the Fish Sandwich. Â The Fish Sandwich.
It's a great hunk of cod (the best piece I've seen in a long time, actually) deep fried in a house batter, served on a great roll with your choice of fries, chips, corn fritters and sweet potato fries (I may have missed something here). Â I ordered the "half-fish sandwich" and worried it would be too small. Â So I ordered a side of corn fritters with the sandwich and fries and then got myself a beer. Â The food came fast (before I finished my first beer!) and was piping hot. Â It turned out to be the best meal I'd had for a couple of weeks. Â I loved it.
This place is on the small side and I'd had my share of their beer before this trip. Â The place is tastefully decorated and has plenty of space, for being such a small place. Â I prefer it to Brew-Ha's across the street, but it carries a bit of a price hike along with the quality. Â I would definitely suggest this place to anyone looking for a decent pub-type meal with a great beer selection at a decent price. Â $30 fed two people very well with left overs and got them both buzzed in my experience.
All I have tried is the beer and the GIANT FISH SANDWICH! Â I kid you not, this is an entire fish filleted, deep fried and put on a bun. Â It's gi-normous! Throw in some onion rings and it's easily a meal for 2.
Usually quiet, friendly place. Â Parking is limited but usually not hard to find. Â Right near Pub II & Brew Haus.
Love me some Lunkers! This place has a rustic "fishing" hole kinda look to it, but beyond the decor and non-traditional college sports bar feel, it is a great place to stop by if you're in or near the area. It feels like you're in the middle of nowhere, off a lake perhaps in a fishing town in the boonies, and although you are technically in the boonies being in Normal to begin with, it feels like you are really in a different world, catching a cold beer and fried fish combo after a long day of catching Catfish. Yep. That's really how I feel when I go to Lunkers. The food is very good; from fresh fish options, chicken tenders, to sandwiches, and the sweet con nibbles (sweet corn rolled into a ball, breaded and fried, with dipping butter served on the side)! Heavenly! All of the beers are cheap as hell compared to Chicago prices, but then again, that's anywhere in B-N!! Stop by if you're in the area and enjoy the deliciousness that you can only find at Lunkers.
Review Source:A friend of mine got the spicey buffalo chicken sangwhich and was moved to tears by the spiciness of it.
On this Sunday afternoon, we enjoyed the buck seventy five Leinie's and the good cheap food.
I don't remember the food being this BarQualityGood a few years ago when I was in ISU.
Cubs bar, but will play the Sox games on the fuzzy televisions.
Do you like Long Island's? If so, check this place out. One of my most treasured college memories was the time my friend Tim puked on the wall, mid-sentence, finished his sentence and went to get another one. The staff didn't seem to mind that so much, but when we decided to take our drinks "to go" they raised a bit of a stink. Given that they were long islands, it wasn't really our fault, though, now was it?
