Review: I enjoyed lunch with my daughter and her friend I love her because I was on The whole30 diet I couldn’t find anything on the menu that was compliant so I had to have water. Please add some more healthy options! Definitely will be back though when I’m off the diet. The service was great and I enjoyed playing the board games while we were waiting.

Review: Just had a delish lunch at La Charreada in Bloomington! The atmosphere was alive with great music, and the service was impressively fast. The chips and queso were the perfect start – absolutely delicious! And the steak fajita taco salad? Simply the best. La Charreada is definitely the top spot for Mexican cuisine in Bloomington, though shoutout to El Ranchero for being a super close second!

Review: The highlight of my experience was their West Coast IPA – a perfect blend. Their Czech Pilsner, with its crisp and refreshing taste, and the slightly more malty German Pilsner, were both delightful surprises.
The range of other delicious-looking brews caught my eye, and I’m already planning a return trip to try them. The brewery’s beer selection is outstanding.
This visit was made even more special by the event organized by the Greater Bloomington Chamber of Commerce. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with community leaders and fellow enthusiasts. The connections made during this event were invaluable.
Heartwork Brewing is not just about great beer; it’s a hub for building community relationships. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for quality brews and meaningful conversations in Bloomington.

Review: What a beautiful place. This is much better than what used to be there. The place was fairly empty when I met Charlie for lunch. The fresh salsa was delicious and went great on top of my grilled shrimp salad. I didn’t care for the packaged ranch or French dressing but they gave me some hot sauce on the side that was perfect. I finished my whole salad and it was delish plus I felt great that I didn’t eat all the queso and other things I really wanted to order. I highly recommend this place. It’s beautiful inside and there were so many things I wanted to try.

Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Had an amazing lunch at Chefs Table Catering in Bloomington with Jarod M! ️ The corn chowder was so good, it was enough for my whole meal! Tried a Mediterranean salad and got a free upgrade to steak instead of chicken, which was a delightful surprise. Ended the meal with a delicious chocolate pretzel brownie. Love supporting this local, small business! The customer service was top-notch. Highly recommend! #ShopLocal #GreatFoodGreatService
