Yogi’s Bar & Grill

Day trip to Bloomington with the fam, and we grabbed lunch at Yogi's. I'll admit I was uncertain how it would be - new location- but we were not disappointed. The loaded tot app was delicious, and the chicken strips remain delicious. My son and husband shared a pizza which was really thin and flavorful. Service was friendly but a little slow (with two kids we like to get in and out quickly). Over all it was a good dining experience and it was fun to share this spot with my husband and kids.

As an alum, and former trainer at Scotty's Brewhouse, it was so cool to go to Yogi's in the same spot. They have really decked the place out in full blown IU festive fun. I loved the ambiance. We were a big group! Six of us. Some of the highlights were the chicken Caesar wrap. It seems basic, but it was delicious. Wraps come with chips and salsa, the chips need more salt, great news that they had sea salt grinders on the table. The salsa was good. The chicken and waffles got great reviews, you add your own amount of syrup and hot honey, good move Yogi's! That came with Cole slaw, it was creamy and very good. The cool ranch Doritos burger got a great review as well. A couple people had tenders, they were good. The four stars come from speed of service and attentiveness. We were waiting for awhile for our food to get ordered, the beers to get delivered and the food. Also, the pickle chips are more breading than pickle. The pickles should be cut thicker. The spicy ranch was very good though. Our server was nice, accommodating and got the order 100% accurate without writing it down. Good for her. I would go back, it was a great place to watch March Madness. They had the men's and women's games on. Good move for Yogi's into this new spot.

The bar area and drinks are actually OK. It's the food that is lacking. The chicken velvet soup was so thick that it was like paste. They must make a big pot in the morning and it just sits on a warmer all day and night (I was here around 8 PM). I also ordered the pepperoni-stuffed breadsticks with pizza sauce for dipping. The breadsticks were underbaked and the pizza sauce was too thick and acidic. It's a far cry from the stuffed breadsticks from those just a half mile away at Kilroy's.

Why am I going to a place to make my own sandwich? Used to love going here, but the last two times the service had been so terrible. Waitress did not finish listening to my drink order and grabbed drinks filled with ice (not that big of deal) but when I ordered the same sandwich I've been getting the last 4 years, I essentially had to build it myself! Gave all the toppings on the side with bread and chicken on the plate. Never recommending this place again :(Yogis just isn't the same anymore

I visited Bloomington a few weeks ago and had the pleasure of eating at Yogi's. It's a sports bar, very casual atmosphere. We had pizza sticks, smash burgers, chicken tenders abs fries. You get alot of food. They give you a choice of tater tots or seasoned waffle fries with your entrees. The chicken strips are so tender and juicy. The burgers were messy and so delicious. Our waitress was very warm and hospitable. She made several recommendations and she was right about all of them. We had a great lunch and I look forward to coming back when I'm in the area again.

- Chicken Tender Platter 8.5/10 one of the best things on the menu! Get it tossed in sauce for sure. Gigantic portion of tots too. Chicken very tender. Huge portions size - Yogis Smash 6/10 not a very good burger at all. Def get something else.

So I'm not really into bar food. Not really into fried food, either. BUT -- I went to Yogi's for a nostalgic fix and was not disappointed. Years ago I learned that Yogi's had the best chicken tenders I had ever had. They closed and reopened at the new location and I was skeptical. I can look at chicken tenders and know if they are the flat super breaded kind I am not interested. These are lightly hand-breaded, SUPER juicy and the blue cheese at Yogi's is full of chunks of cheese. Sorry, no pic but they lived up to my memory and I will be indulging in an occasional guilty pleasure any time I roll through Btown. Service was fast and friendly.

We tried Yogi's for a late Friday dinner after getting into Bloomington following a windy and snowy post-work drive. Our waitress was very kind and the food and drink came out quick. The food was okay but the prices were incredibly fair and portions decent.

Absolutely horrendous service, Iu / Purdue game and understaffed and had open tables but still waited over an hour to be seated. Will never ever go back! Really sad how poorly managed this place is and how far it's fallen!

Same issues as I've experienced at this restaurant in the past... great chicken tenders but terrible service. All of the workers sat at the bar socializing with each other loudly complaining about being scheduled tonight. The food took forever to come out and the staff described tonight as a "light sunday" so 40 minutes for chicken tenders and fries is frustrating. Drinks weren't refilled once. We waited way too long to be helped for the check. Maybe I should just start ordering pickup so my experience with yogis isn't tarnished with each visit...
