    Burger and onion rings
    Kerri E.

    At the end of a strip mall. Fairly spacious and not too loud bar. They have a gaming section and a bar. Happy hour specials. I had the burger and onion rings which was good but the put cheese on it, which wasn't stated on the menu or asked for. I was able to pull it off quite easily. Server was very attentive and prices were great. Music bingo 7-9 on Wednesday night.

    Cheek's Special - bacon chicken sandwich
    Dave J.

    Great burgers! I got their cheeseburger with grilled onion and pickle. Tons of melted cheese with perfectly grilled onions. Burger patty was large and juicy. Outstanding waffle fries! The Cheek's Special is a bacon chicken sandwich that was almost too tall to eat. We had to eat individual pieces of it by hand after it fell apart. All good tasting, but difficult to eat.

    Really easy and simple food. Nice location to gather with friends for a beverage, but it isn't too packed with people.

    Simple bar food that seemed a little overpriced for my taste. Very attentive wait staff. We had a beer and left.

As a celiac, my options were limited to the Grilled Chicken Salad and the Chicken Wings. I went with the healthier option and enjoyed my salad! Service was friendly and informative and everything you expect from small-ish town in the Midwest! I also am not able to enjoy beer any longer, so I was grateful that they offered some cider options. Delish! Would I go back? This place would be a dream if I did not have a restricted diet. So yes, if this is where my group wanted to go, I would... and I would try the wings and get another salad.

A beautiful wood bar greets you when you walk in, with some booth seating off to the side. We sat outside for dinner and enjoyed the space. Waitress was attentive with our beers and our dinners were great. We had to order the pork tenderloin, which was incredible. Moist pork within a beautiful fried coating. This kitchen knows how to fry their food. My chicken was a deep golden brown with a moist chicken breast within. YUM! I will definitely stop back in when in Bloomington. Thanks Schooners!

The potatoes were also pretty solid. The flavored tea was nice, it just needed a bit of sugar. Our waitress was super friendly and made the experience even better. She was enthusiastic and enjoyed sharing her favorite menu items, which I appreciated. The ambiance was very welcoming, and I liked how open the space felt. The only downside was that the host who seated us seemed a little short when asking if we had reservations, especially when I asked if they were required.

Got a flight- moon jumper (smoky), black angel (a little on the burnt side), blackberry gose, pumpkin porter (spicy but not fake pumpkin flavor spicy). Beer battered asparagus for the appetizer- delicious! Crunchy which was great! Husband and I split a bacon pickle pizza (omg!!) and spicy chicken sandwich with wedges (huge, thick potato slices). Definitely recommend the pizza, so flavorful! Spicy chicken was both hot and spicy from the jalapeños and sweet from the sauce. Madysen was our server and was amazing and attentive! If it wasn't 2.5 hours away we'd be regulars! Lots of parking available.

    Review Visit: June 11th, 2018…read more That Burger Joint is... disjointed? Recently, Oberweis Dairy (an ice cream store, a la Cold Stone Creamery) has expanded to offer a restaurant attached to their store. While driving through Bloomington, the gimmicky name instantly caught my eye. You would think if you visit a restaurant with burger in it's name, you would order a burger. But I didn't. I ordered 'That Spicy Chicken'. My friend ordered 'That Burger'. We sat down and were anxious to dig in to the food. The sandwiches were massive and heavy. Almost too big to eat. But where it was big in size, it lacked in flavor. I got jalapenos on my chicken and it definitely added a kick, but the chicken itself tasted... off. It wasn't bad, but it didn't give me anything to write home about. Just this blog post. I tried my friend's burger and she tried my sandwich. Her burger was full of flavor due to the toppings and grease, but the actual meat had no more flavor than a $4 pound of unseasoned beef that you'd get at the local grocer. She agreed that the food was mediocre overall. The lay out of the inside reminds me of a hybrid between Steak N Shake and Five Guys Burger & Fries. You walk up to the counter, place your order and you either take it to go or they can bring it out to your table. It's that cross between fast food and restaurant. The decor was sparse and lacking. There is an attempt to give it a rustic look, but the large swathes of black leave much to be desired. The customer service was good while ordering, but once we were sitting down, the staff was complaining among themselves about how short staffed they were. I hate to score That Burger Joint so low, but I can't in good conscious give it a glowing review. It's best to avoid it, even if you are there getting ice cream. There are way better places in Bloomington/Normal to get food.
