So we were here 2 mos ago and the lady felt compelled to give them 2-stars, mostly based on the lack of server/bartender knowledge or interest in providing much customer service. We stopped in 2 weeks ago for a cocktail and an app but passed on the food based on the indoor construction noise going on at 6 pm on a Thursday?! And although I enjoy new tech as much as most, in both instances we were also disappointed by failing attempts to incorporate new restaurant technology like the giant automatic drink mixing machine and the kitchen to table food delivery robot -cart. In both instances, I bit my tongue as a Yelper to give them a chance to work out the kinks and figure out what they really want to be. Based on a timely social media post today, I went solo for 'Taco Thursday' and after this 3rd visit, I'm compelled to weigh in. The negatives above have clearly improved - the construction team seems to have moved next door (Aroma, owned by the same guy), the place looked impressively finished, the tech gimmicks were gone as far as I could tell and the bartender today seemed to care and was very personable. Given that the employees have all been different each time we went, I'm hoping this means they've finally latched onto at least a quality cook and server. Hopefully ownership sees the value these employees bring and the trend continues. Besides the employee improvements and the impressive finished renovations the real positive I've now walked away with after 2 actual meals here, is the food. Altho I was told by 2 people that the Malaysian quesadilla is fantastic, I haven't tried one yet. Instead I can tell you that both the wings and the tacos (4 or 5 options each) are really quite authentically good. As for the craft beer, altho there are 20-plus ice cold taps and most popular styles are represented, nothing really stands out - except the daily happy hour prices (see attached pic with the current list of options)! I guess that means both the fork and the froth actually ARE going to be the draw...and at the moment at least, both are quite cost effective! So I'll go 3.4 stars until our next visit - one that will include a quesadilla. read more

Froth & Fork - Happy Hour ad - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bloomington, Illinois

Three bartenders took 10 mins to acknowledge. We were sitting at the bar. It was not busy in the restaurant. Two walked by twice. One had menus for people sitting directly next to us. Very aloof staff. Took 22 minutes for a four person table to be cleared away. Once again (not busy and at least three wait staff in house). Menu looks decent. Didn't try any food. Had two drinks. On par with drink prices around town. read more

See all

This was our second visit, the first time was good, this time a so so experience. We went there on a Saturday morning, and we were the only people seated in the dining room. One waiter, and he was also the cook, good thing it wasn't busy or people would be walking out. That could be an indicator why there weren't many customers. Food was good, not exceptional and definitely not a hurried put together meal. I would've expected more attentiveness since we were the only seated guests. Won't be back any time soon. read more

the cake was amazing I really liked the chocolate Ferro Rochester one service was amazing really recommend to come here read more

Froth & Fork - This is the delicous cake - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bloomington, Illinois

Ordered a breakfast burrito and some chips for lunch to go. The burrito was very greasy, however I did enjoy the innards of the burrito. The hash browns were your common style. The tortilla chips were very hard though. read more

Service was slow even though we were the only ones in the restaurant the waiter decided to be on his phone watching videos the whole time. The crab Rangoons were cold and burnt somehow. The Nashville chicken sandwich is awful. Won't be back read more

Poor service for breakfast a few ago, never going back. Waitress was horrible with a bad attitude.

Probly won't be back anytime soon. The staff has next to no knowledge of the 'Froth' part of the restaurants name. As for the fork...everything is just OK. Also we were only able to identify a single bartender/employee who seemed to care about providing good service. Disappointing. read more

Not as good as the last time we visited. I didn't get what I ordered initially. What I ended up eating was of poor quality. I also didn't care for their wine selection. I'm not sure we'll go back. I can't see this business surviving another 6 months. read more

The parking lot was too full to park, and those that came out told us it took 45 minutes to get their food because they were understaffed. We'll try again in the future. read more

Bartenders take forever. The staff sits there and cooks food the sits and waits for machines. They like to gamble on the clock.. Saturdays are a fiesta. I'm confused at where this business is going. I miss legends at this point. I've literally been served by somebody under 21, so has my husband. This place seems like a front. Nuff said. read more

We just had a wonderful lunch experience! We were there before 2:00 so we could order breakfast. The full order of biscuits and gravy was large and included 2 eggs. The Spicy Pablono omelet was delicious and I ordered the fruit with it which had strawberries, grapes, and orange slices. It also was very good. The Fresh Market Hash featured crispy potatoes (not hash browns), spinach and was so good! Not a drop was left. Our server was attentive, polite, and friendly. Definitely recommend this place! read more

Found a stink bug in my fries and when we told the waiter he laughed and did nothing. Would not recommend coming here. Only positive was their TV's, but even some of those weren't working. read more

The eggs were poached to perfection like two perfect pillows ready to burst forth with liquid gold! The hash browns crisp but not burnt. The overall meal was delicious. Was there with a large group after church. Everyone ordered different things and there was not one complaint. The service was on point given there were so many of us. Definitely recommend. read more

Froth & Fork - Bacon eggs Benedict - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bloomington, Illinois

Summary: Once this place works out the kinks, it could be great. Details: Arrived for lunch, and no one was around at the front but eventually someone indicated we could seat ourselves. Waited a short time, and someone came over with menus. I did not realize it at the time, but we didn't get the entire menu! Ours only had one page- wings, Asian fusion, tacos/nachos, and apps. We thought they also had brunch, burgers etc but figured oh well. It wasn't until we saw other diners with eggs, and burgers, being delivered to the table that we realized we must have not been given the entire menu (also, why isn't the menu all out together, and just separate pages??) The food itself was good. We both got nachos, which came with protein of choice, cheese, pico, jalapeños, and lettuce. Will also add: it was really warm inside the restaurant. Like, uncomfortably warm. Service was good once someone actually gave us the menu, and took our order. They checked up on us regularly. Overall since the food was good I'd try it again, maybe after they've been in business a bit longer so they have time to work out the issues. Biggest disappointment was not getting a burger (note: there was a picture of the burger on our one-page menu, but no actual burger to order!) read more

Wings were really good! Restaurant was pretty empty, but service was good overall and food was out quick. We were in and out in under an hour. read more

Froth & Fork - Honey BBQ Chicken wings - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bloomington, Illinois

The ambiance is actually quite nice. There are large TVs through with no sound. Sports, news, shows all in silence. Actually the ambiance is the only thing really going for this new restaurant. Low lighting, nice furniture and good decor. We found our seats and waited 10 minutes for waitstaff to acknowledge us. She introduced herself, had little beer knowledge and this became the first wait of several. When she was done conversing with co workers and decided to wait on us, we asked for 1 beer and a soda. We then waited another 15 minutes to get our drinks. Taking the order went smoothly. Again, very little knowledge of the grease filled menu. But, I digress. The menu...Grease Central. If you're looking for burgers or sandwiches of any kind, you will not get it here. (Even though the menu has a picture of a cheeseburger on it. Wha??) We were actually impressed a little by the speed in which the food came out. BUT, hold up there! It was all deep fried except my order, Chicken-on-a-stick. Not a really hard menu to make. They also have Tacos and some Chinese food to offer. Those items along with American grille fare make this a Chinese, Mexican, American restaurant. This joint needs a completely new menu. It's as though the neighbor kid wrote it. We won't go back, we love to try new restaurants and mostly have great food, service and ambience. In this case, it turned out differently. They've lost return customers in us. We will warn friends. It's really 3 strikes you're out and BUYER BEWARE! read more

The food was good, but my usual M.O. of sitting at the bar backfired- the bartender spoke no English, so I had to order by tap number. I can't think of a reason I'd ever go back. read more

Food is very good. Service was more than adequate. Need more people to try this restaurant, I think you will be surprised.

I just had my first experience here. Our server was very helpful. The food was very good. We also ordered food to take home to someone. We'll be back! read more

The server seemed uninterested in providing service. He never checked or refilled our coffee, tried to charge extra for toast that was included according to the menu. Three groups that arrived after us got their food before us and the server brought us our check before our food arrived. He seemed distracted and was not taking care of customers. The food was acceptable but the frittata did not have the ingredients indicated on the menu. read more

For being a new restaurant in Bloomington, the food is great! The chicken tacos were really good and had a nice kick of spice.

so after having a horrible experience and giving a bad review and being told by the " owner" to reach out so it could be rectified it's now been months and I was completely blown off after trying to do as I was told and reach out ! I also have the photo proof ! read more

horrible service! we sat there for 45 minutes without any service. we left and without even getting so much as a drink. i do NOT recommend this place! read more
