Lennie's

Had the best lunch today. Food was amazing and the service was spot on. If you haven't had the turkey bacon melt you are missing out. The soft bread and melted cheese are enough but add in the pickled red onions along with turkey and bacon and it takes it to the next level. Their focaccia bread with fresh roasted garlic and marinara is also spot on. Don't miss out on an amazing lunch, dinner or snack!

I want to recommend everything here! However- I'll start with the delicious beer. BBC has a great IPA and Ruby Bloom is delicious.

Their pizza... oh so good. Their salads! That house dressing! (Don't skip it: Italian plus blue cheese is amazing.)

And the service is top-notch. The location is perfect. This is great for work meetings, family dinners, and drinks with friends. Go there now.

Pretty quaint spot on a sunday evening if you want to relax and have a beer. Friendly and calm atmosphere. Parking will be a bit difficult in downtown bloomington, so your best bet is to use the nearest parking garage which is very close.

Food was very good and favorable, the pricing and selection was spot on, and Devon was an absolute pleasure to have served us!

Went for dinner and received fast and great quality service. Love the layout of the restaurant and it's a cool place to eat a meal. Got the voodoo chili and it was phenomenal, just the right amount of spice. The stromboli I got was solid too but that chili in particular was to die for. Will be back.

The Ahi Tuna salad is my go to. Especially love the plantains! Recommend the honey lime vinaigrette dressing to go with it!

Here's what you need to know: the flavor and baking not as good as it used to be, and the location is not nearly as charming as next to eigenmann hall on 10th, but the Stromboli was enjoyable and the stout from BBC (Bloomington brewing company) was good. The pesto dipping sauce was enjoyable too.

Service was very friendly but painfully slow.

Overall, good nostalgic flashback and nice patio dining.

Lennie's is a staple in Bloomington. I've been going here since they were on 10th street. The menu is much smaller than it used to be. Love the outdoor seating area now. Park in the nearby lot across from Hartzell's ice cream.

Service was great, speedy and attentive. Brought me a water refill without even asking.

Food was good. I would add protein to the beet salad which felt a little light on the beets for it to be named after the ingredient (might have just been the plating). My friend got the Lennie's original roast beef sandwich and enjoyed it plus he was glad he went with the cucumber slaw. Overall, a nice menu and solid option near IU campus. This is super close to the Sample Gates if you want to check out the view and enter campus.

Stopped in and talked to one of the managers, Cara, and the bartender. They were both very attentive which is something I have always noticed about Lennie's staff. I didn't buy food tonight, but I do want to give a shout out to the meatballs. Pair them with a glass of wine and you have a chefs kiss.

Haven't been back to Lennie's since they've moved to Kirkwood, while I miss the old space for sentimental reasons, the new venue is very nice. Service was excellent, Voodoo Chili and Roasted Veggies with Tarragon Mayo were just as awesome as we remembered. The Lemon Tortellini and Supreme Stromboli were excellent. The Clown Convention Hazy warranted taking a couple of 4 packs home :)
