I have eaten there because I will eat anywhere at least one time. It wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. You can get a giant hamburger and that may be great for football day? So maybe it's popular with the gents but if I where craving a burger I would probably go to Opie Taylors (on the square), Nicks(on... More

Everything from there homemade Ice cream to there out of this... More

food was really good, perfect portions, atmosphere was pleasant, service was great! I usually don't like hamburgers…but that was one good Elk burger! I loved it and will be taking family to try it. I did think it was on the expensive side for the amount of food you received. (plus tip, my small size Elk burger and water was... More

I have been to Bub's a few times. Consistently good food every time. I normally get the half pound burger and between a few friends, we all get sides and share them. The sloppy waffles are a must get, who doesn't love loaded fries? Peanut butter shake is very good, they bring you the metal cup, so you get a... More

The burgers were very good, but the Onion Rings were just fabulous...I think the best I've ever had. The atmosphere was neat too, and service was good.

I know Bub's is well known in Bloomington for having good burgers, but I was not impressed. My burger was a bit over-cooked and was not very good. I have been there twice, and both times I was not impressed. I do not think the food is worth the price or wait. I do not intend to eat here again.... More

Impressed with its high ranking and aware that such things are nearly always correct, off we went to Bubs. To be fair, certain things confirmed some good thoughts- the effervescent staff, the focussed menu (clear concept) , and the ample space in Bubs. Certain aspects of the food also stood out - a tasty lean Elk burger, an old-fashioned (in... More

The food was great, but both times I've been there no one was at the front greeting customers or taking their names. We had to yell back after waiting 5 minutes unattended to get anyone to come up to the podium to seat us. 10 people who were waiting there before us left as we got there because of the... More

The food was very good. We had to wait 35 minutes in order to be seated but that's ok because the BURGER DID MAKE IT UP AGAIN. The service was good and fast, even when the place was really crowded.

I was amazed at the quick and friendly service we received in this college town restaurant! The food was great we had the burgers (and they were cooked perfect medium) and the waffle fries were nicely seasoned. We highly recommend!
