Times Past Inn

Fantastic little restaurant right off the freeway in Bloomington. Service was super fast, the prices were unbelievably cheap, and the food tasted great!

For $18 (after tax) my friend and I received:

One glass of orange juice
Two glasses of chocolate milk (no free refills)
One small order of biscuits and gravy
One short stack of pancakes
One breakfast special with two eggs, two pieces of toast, hash browns and three pieces of bacon
One breakfast special with two eggs, two pieces of toast, and three pieces of sausage

All of the food tasted great, it was all seasoned perfectly, I didn't need to add anything. The bacon was nice and crisp, the toast was toasted correctly...no complaints here!

Our waitress was really nice and we were probably in and out within 30 minutes. If you're driving through town, I highly suggest stopping off and eating here!

Great breakfast-split sausage is a must.  Most of the year they also have fresh blueberries in their pancakes.  Outside patio area that is nice all day as long as the weather permits.

As the quest for Bloomington's best breakfast spot continues, we finally made our way to Times Past Inn. I love locally owned restaurants and strive to support them whenever I can.  While Times Past Inn is a good choice, I think there are better options in town.  It is a solid choice but just not my preference.  Check out my Breakfast List for a review of almost all breakfast spots in town.

Positives:  
- Big omelet from SCRATCH with lots of fresh cut ingredients
- Great pancakes (this is very important)
- Yeah sugar free syrup
-  Lots of seating
- IWU support!

Negatives:
- Eggs made right, but lacked flavor
- Bacon too crispy so there was no flavor left
- Coffee is just ok
- No real butter, just substitute stuff
- Hashbrowns cooked fine but no seasoning

Just plain observations:
- Crowd tends to be 65+
- Waitresses are straight forward
- Menu has all the basics, nothing fancy
