A large group of us stopped by for lunch on Friday and I have to say, I was way less than impressed. Â
First of all, after the waitress took our drink orders and brought us our drinks, she never came back to take our order. Â We waited...and waited....and waited..until finally we asked ANOTHER waitress to find our waitress to take our order! Â
Then, the food took forever. Â I'm not too upset about that, though, since burgers do take a while to cook and we were a large group. Â
What I'm not okay with, though, is that most people had cold sides (fries) and that my $12 salad was pretty awful. Â I ordered the buffalo chicken salad and there was not a single piece of chicken on that plate that tasted like buffalo sauce. Â Instead, it tasted like black pepper. Â Overwhelmingly. Â Boo.
My favorite burger in bloomington.. maybe the world. Â I always get the bbq burger and it is always good. The fries are some of my favorite, and I'm very picky when it comes to fries.
I give four stars only because every time I go the wait staff is just sitting and takes forever to notice a customer, or when to take an order/drink refill. Â Especially because there were maybe three tables of customers and five waiters. Maybe it was just an off day. Â I honestly didnt mind because their food is so good.
Also the owner is a sweetheart
This was my favorite place to go in the late 90's when I was an undergrad and it was located near the Bluebird. Since then, it's moved into the spot next to Malibu on the square, and something was lost in the transition. It's an alright place, but the burgers aren't as good as many places in town. I still love their chili, though. Beer selection is pretty poor. Prices are decent. Service is generally pretty good.
Review Source:I'm bumping Opie's up to 4 stars. My last meal there was *really* good. And I really like that it's a local place with down-to-earth, friendly staff.
Their beer selection could use a little work -- lots of the crappy, football beers, with only one or two decent ones...usually Upland, which works fine for me.
I'm pretty much over the "charging extra for fries" -- because honestly, their burgers are so good, i don't often have extra room.
This place has a great menu when it comes to variety and innovative burgers. The burgers themselves aren't that great, they are generally overcooked/charred and I've had much better, but the interesting toppings and amazing onion rings makes this place what it is. I definitely recommend a stop by this place!
Review Source:I was dragged here once for a Saturday lunch downtown. The person doing the dragging raved about the food: how delectable the fried fish was and how they had the best onion rings in town. She lied. I ordered the chicken teriyaki sandwich, which despite the best efforts of the grilled pinapple and teriyaki sauce was dry, dry, dry. The servers seemed to be college freshmen who didn't give a darn--they barely said hello when we walked in the door and were more interested in chatting together than serving people. My boyfriend flat-out refused to eat his cardboardy fries, and I can assure you he will normally eat /anything/ fried. I will kick and fuss if anyone ever tries to bring me there again.
Review Source:First they moved from up the street near Rocket's to the current location on the square, where once upon a time, briefly, one could get awesome N. African food if one waited forever and ever, and lost the great high booths, and I know the food was already suffering soon after because I remember eating an poor rendition of Tadd's BBQ sandwich at the new place, but at some point after this the food just went to total crap. In the age of Yelp, I have had few food-related regrets as great as when I did not trust my judgment and walk right back out when I visited this past Spring. Â This place should be on Kitchen Nightmares, except apparently if you serve crap at real food prices you can make money even in this prime real estate.
Review Source:The food here is delicious, although a bit over priced for what it is. I love the atmosphere! Plenty of sports, beer, and wings. Their wings are amazing-- juicy, rich, tender.. This coming from a boneless wings gal. They have specials for every day of the week! Their beer isn't that expensive normally. I think it's 4 dollars for 32 oz domestic draft. A pitcher is 5 dollars on Monday-- along with ALL burgers being 5 dollars.
Review Source:Good food! Â I have been here more then once and i have to say, the vast majority of their menu is pretty good. Â The only things that could improve is the soup. Â It just never tastes right to me. Â Like someone forgot to put something into it. Â Besides that, the cheese sticks are HUGE and not over cooked and i highly recommend their Reuben sandwich. Â I will be back again.
Review Source:A nice little restaurant on the square, it's not a very good bar (since it doesn't have one), not a very good sports lounge since there are only about 5 TV's, and not a very good restaurant since the food isn't that great and a bit overpriced. That makes it not very good at just about everything.
That being said, the Reuben I had was big and satisfying, although I don't think you should have to pay $2.00 extra for fries instead of potato chips. At McDonalds, yes, at a sit-down burger joint, no.
I haven't been there all that recently, but when I was, I do have to say that it was seriously one of the best burgers I've ever had. Me being a wimp just gets your standard cheeseburger, but it is made absolutely top notch. That garlic burger described sounds delicious though. Try it with the cottage fries on the side (if you don't specify your side you just get chips)...you definitely won't be disappointed by these spicy, tasty, round little fries!!! Great place!
