The atmosphere of this bar was awesome like a small town dive bar. The food was amazing recommend the beer cheese with your fries. The staff was so friendly and made you feel welcome. The service was quick and attentive. read more

Casual and friendly place. Outdoor area. Good specials. Gaming available. Would recommend.

So far, I've only done delivery, but that was a good experience. They have their own delivery service, so call them direct and skip the 3rd parties. The person who took my order was wonderfully friendly and helpful as was the delivery person. For my first go-round, I went with the Almost Famous Pork Tenderloin Sandwich and the Rings of Kerry. The tenderloin was nicely oversized, tender, and not dry, with good breading. It had a little tang in the taste that was odd but not off-putting. I got cole slaw, which is homemade and tastes fine but is a little goopy for me. The Rings of Kerry (onion rings) were huge. Crispy with that wonderful Guinness beer batter. They also pack a punch with the amount of oil in them - definitely need a drink with these (it's a slight grease overload). Good pub-type options, and I want to try a few of their other offerings. read more

We happened in for first time. Service started slow , but got better as the bartender warmed up to the newbie's. We ordered beers, "Twerky" melt and The Dive fish sandwich. Food was really good. We liked the local vibe and will probably be back again. read more

New to the area ( driving through ) and found this pub on Yelp Very nice neighborhood find Smelled great upon entering Friendly staff Only downside - no substitute of side choices But portions are amazing Food was soooo good!! read more

We visited Crawford's Corner Pub in Bloomington, IL for my husband to try their Almost Famous Pork Tenderloin. This is a true neighborhood bar with lots of Cubs, Fighting Irish and Guiness memorbilia. The pork was just the right size to eat in one sitting and he found it to be crisp, juicy and well seasoned. You can choose your own side, fries, Cole slaw, etc for $11.30. I chose a salad with Rings of Kerry, made with a Guiness beer batter for $9.50. I enjoyed the flavor of the batter and they were nice and crispy. My only criticism was that there was too much batter, not enough onion. Someone else might like them fine. After a couple, it was too much. Good salad. This was our first visit and we plan to go back. There were a lot of good sandwiches on the menu. Good service by Jessica, clean place and bathrooms. read more

Slid in the back and found a table on the patio. Not sure if I was supposed to go in the main dining area to be seated, but a waitress came and took my drink order within a couple of minutes. Great outdoor patio and even on the very windy day I wasn't affected by it. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I gave her a couple of options that I had narrowed it down to and she highly recommended their Guinness beer battered fish and chips, so that's what I had. She was right, it was a nice portion of two filets of cod in a crispy light crust. The French Fries were prepared to perfection, too. Glad you fellow Yelpers recommended this place! read more

It's your typical town pub. Nice place, friendly people. Had pretzel sticks w/ beer cheese for appetizer. Was ok. Over cooked a little, but cheese was satisfying. Had the four leaf clover. It was ok. Felt beer cheese overtook entire meal. Wife had Twerky melt. Was not bad. We will be back and next time try the Tenderloin. read more

Great neighborhood pub. Daily specials and fun staff. Outdoor seating and a nice overflow parking lot.

I had the Holey Schroom and it was delicious. The hubby had the Rueben and it was loaded with plenty of meat and good kraut. It was a little loud for the number of people but what would be expected of a neighborhood bar. read more

The food and service was excellent! Great place to watch the games and have fun!! Beer is cold!!!

The food was very good and the biscuits and gravy were exceptional. Not super fancy but good service and prices.

My favorite local establishment. It is just good and real people. Owner is good to the community. They have a great seasonal patio.

The food was always good and hot, beer was really cold, nice atmosphere, not to loud like most sport bars. And if you're there say hello to the local Tony if he's there gambling. Tell him Tom said hello. Buy him a beer because he's probably loosing. Lol cheers Tony read more

There were a couple of missteps that prevented Crawford's Corner Pub from getting that 4th star, and my recommendation. We were at ISU visiting my daughter, and we needed a spot to grab breakfast before we left town. As I always do, I turned to Yelp!, and sorted my options by rating. This place came with a 4.5 star average rating so we figured why not?!? Crawford's is just an Irish themed neighborhood tavern, and if I lived in the area, I'm sure this wouldn't be my only time there. The place is quaint, and was definitely filled with locals.. they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner, and their menu features a few surprises that stray from the average breakfast menu. They do serve the standards - pancakes, French toast, eggs and bacon, etc... They also have 3 unique omelette offerings - of which I ended up ordering the Spicy Mommasita. It was served with steak, onions, peppers, spicy habanero cheese and drizzled with a mango/jalapeño sauce. The omelette itself was very good and had some legit spiciness to it - so keep that in mind if you don't like it hot. It was not served with hash browns, but rather 4 pieces of Texas Toast. The toast was completely dry, and there was no butter or jelly on the table. If you're going to serve someone dry toast, you really need to make sure they have something to put on it?!? Simple mistake, and had it been the only one?!?! Alas, we continue.... My wife ordered an egg, bacon and cheese sandwich also on Texas Toast. It wasn't bad, but it was very meh.... Nothing special about it whatsoever. My daughter ordered the Hangover Helper which featured hash browns, an open face biscuit, eggs, sausage and bacon - all smothered in sausage gravy. It was a nice large portion that didn't disappoint. It was good, but not great. When we got there, we ordered coffee.. the cream and sugar were on the table, and that's exactly what we got.... One. Cup. Of coffee. I'm not trying to sound like a dick, but you pay $1.50 for bottomless coffee (as it's listed on the menu), and you just kind of anticipate that means more than one cup!?! Again, an issue that is easily fixed by just having a server walk around with a pot of coffee for refills? C'mon man.. we were hangin' and really needed caffeine!! Lastly, we were seated at a table with no tableware. When we did get our coffee, my wife ended up stirring in her cream and sugar with the straw from her water.. not a big deal if we still weren't waiting for silverware after we all got our meals. There's nothing worse than having your meal sitting in front of you - you're hungover and starving - and you have no silverware to eat your food with?!?! Just another dumb mistake that, unfortunately, will most likely prevent me from returning to Crawford's.... That being written, their locals will keep this place afloat. I'm sure I'm not their target audience, and that's okay.... The omelette was pretty legit though.. read more

Great Sunday brunch from the Bloody Mary's with a Guinness chaser to the biscuits and Gravey and omelets with great side sauces. Service was great and got to eat in the warm sun on the patio read more

Went in for lunch and it was amazing. We got a pork tenderloin to split between 2 of us and it was the perfect amount of food. The tenderloin comes with a side of fries which of course I added beer cheese too. For .60 you can add lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion. Over all it was $14 before the tip. The women working was very nice and full of energy. We had a great conversation, she answered all our questions and gave us some recommendations. She let us know the meat they get is local and everything homemade and made to order. The food was hot, and that tenderloin was perfect! I'd highly recommend the beer cheese with your fries, it did not disappoint. I will definitely be back! read more

Busy spot . Stopped for a bite on trip from Kentucky to Iowa. Group had Twerky Turkey (not that spicy despite habanero), Cajun burger (requested side jalapeño but was cooked on top - very spicy.). Great service from the bartender. Definitely a good stop. read more

Great food, nice employees, fun bar. Best BLT in Blono as well. Can't wait for summer and the patio to open again!

They were very rude to me. And despite being rude, the service was slow and they had a bad drink selection. The liquor they carry is just crap. All around it is a D-level place with D-level workers. Not the bartenders and servers, but the main guys in there have such an ego. Do not recommend. Don't support places that don't welcome you and your business. read more

The best service! We were from out of town and our search brought us here. The greatest service and all the food was unbelievable. The pretzel bits were like no other I have ever had! When back in town we will be going back!! read more

My husband has been raving about your Craw Daddy sandwich subbed w/grilled chicken!! We ate there 2x this past weekend and I enjoyed the fried mushrooms and your garden salad. Drinks were great too!! Great service and looking forward to our next visit so we can try more of your delicious food and drinks. read more

Yo! Visited this spot for that Pork Tenderloin sammich that, being from Cali, I had never heard of. The spot was off in the cut, which threw me off a bit, but it was all to the good once we got inside. The ladies were cool as hell, the sammich was banging too! They even tried to make me some hot sauce (wasn't hot but I appreciate the effort). read more

Fantastic Friday fish fry (walleye)! Comes with a side of creamy coleslaw - not my fav - it was too creamy for me. Both upstairs and down have nice bars. Not sure what the draft beer situation is upstairs but they have one tap downstairs. Downstairs has a long shuffleboard too. And super friendly staff! read more

En route from Chicago to Decatur on the Mother Road (Route 66), based on Yelp reviews we paused for an early dinner here. I was a bit surprised by a setting with paper plates. But my app of Fried Mushrooms with Ranch Dressing put me at ease as a jet of hot liquid shot into my mouth upon the first bite into a breaded mushroom. Mac & Cheese Bites provided another example of tasty comfort food. Then I enjoyed a very good BLT on Texas Toast with creamy Coleslaw but little of it, while Diane liked her Fish & Chips. Service was good, and the ambiance dark and very casual. Alas, we were told that all burgers on the menu were prepared well done, and no desserts were served. Not that I needed one! read more

Please remember that my reviews are not only based on the food I've eaten, but on the quality of service and total experience. With that said, LET'S GET OUR FOOD ON! Location Cleanliness: Counter tops are clean. Table tops, clean. Floors look pretty good. Customer Service: Walked in and was greeted by the ladies at the bar. Sat down and was told about the special and what time the kitchen closes. People behind the bar were busy but showed me attention. I was pretty happy with the service. (This is overall, not just the server) Food: I ordered the "all most famous" tenderloin. My food was hot and came out really quick! Curly fries are pretty darn good. If you like a good tenderloin sandwich and in the area, you gotta try Crawford's. (I'm not an expert, I just know what I like) Overall Experience: The beer was cold, my food was hot, and the service was on point! This is everything I'm looking for! Check them out if you're in the area. read more

The onion rings are amazing the Guinness batter really makes it. However the rest of the restaurant is just alright. The service was nothing special not good nor bad. The burgers weren't anything special either. I asked for medium rare and was told they can only cook burgers all the same, apparently this means well done. Lettuce, tomato, and onion, costs extra which wasn't a big deal since the prices were not outrageous. The fried cheese balls were enjoyable but nothing to go out of your way to have. read more

How I received my tacos today while on a rushed lunch break. Requested a refund after a 15 minute hold and another 5 minutes of them speculating how I may have been responsible for this and whining to me that they were "so busy", they're response; "nothing's wrong with it, just put it back in the tortilla" My guess is the fact that they were so busy led to the lack of care for my carryout order. 5 stars if you like sloppily prepared food, only 1 star if you're crazy like me and like to get food that you pay for with at least a decent presentation. read more

It's a local, down-to-earth, as it says, corner pub for the west side community. We came in on a Wednesday night and the bar was fairly not busy but had a good crowd (about 10). I was very impressed by the updated slot machines and music machines. The pub also had more than 30 TVs all around! The food was generally good. We had the fish and chips (very good), chili hot dogs (good) and wings. Unfortunately the bourbon sauce for the wings were too sweet, and we missed 1 wing out of 8 pieces we supposed to get. And the waitress was pretty rude to us that's why I gave them 3 stars. read more

The good :Food was good. We had lunch on Friday on the patio. We had burgers, pretzels, and mini corn dogs - all was good. The burgers are flavorful and the cheese was really good. The bad: the server was horrible, the worst we have had in a long time. She dropped a knife on my 5 year old and barely got an apology, she forgot my beer and when asked she went to get it but they were out. She had zero hustle and we had to ask multiple times for a box and they charged us 1.50 for extra for cheese when the menu said the pretzel came with cheese. Overall. - good food but horrid service. Carryout might be the better option. read more

This is your classic corner pub, just as the name implies. The menu is mainly what you'd expect with some extras you might not. It caters to mostly locals, which is the plus and minus. Great local atmosphere, if that's what you're looking for, but don't be surprised if the regulars seem to capture most of the service attention. Understandable, of course. But..if you're not a regular, prepare for your service to be more sluggish and slower than the tables around you. This happened to us twice and our orders were pretty simple. We had a very long wait, order got lost the first time The second time my husband's burger was cold. This after a long wait and watching tables that came in after us get served first. Also, there's a nice outdoor eating area out back, but we were told we couldn't sit out there even though there were plenty of regulars out there making an evening of it. So, I'd still go back, my husband gives it a No (due to order mistakes, slow service, kitchen issues and a cold hamburger.) Go if you're looking for a laid back bar and grill atmosphere with decent prices. And good food once you get it. Don't go if you're in a rush or if you're not patient with service that might have their attention distracted by regular customers. read more

Had the buffalo wings (which were good but nothing extraordinary) and the Reuben which was very good with the homemade corned beef. The wings were ordered as an appetizer but came out with the rest of the meal. The menu prices were really good except for the local craft beer I Had which was $10 for a pint! Most places they go for $6 -$8 tops. read more
