Loaded ponyshoe! There's a perfectly cooked piece of pork tenderloin under those loaded fries!

Chris E.

Stopped in for lunch with another family and all our kids! another ridiculously good meal at a very reasonable price! Great service! Cold beer! I'm telling you this place isn't much to look at, but they hit all the marks where it counts in my book. Really good, affordable food served up by an attentive friendly staff who appreciate your business. Again, the place only seats about 20 people, so plan your visit accordingly.

This is the latest menu according to their Facebook

Although my OG review gave The Spotted Dog praise, I will say within the past few years or so during the pandemic I noticed the price of stuff going up. That, however, I understand. The real issue I have with is the fact they're cutting back on portion sizes. Now that we're better under control these days, the pandemic is no longer an excuse. I am saddened by the portion sizes being smaller than usual especially since the price hike. I remember when coming inside and taking my food to-go was a decent portion. The horseshoe as pictured in my photo is not near the size it was when The Spotted Dog first opened. I understand and get the pandemic has messed with prices on things etc. I would like to suggest The Spotted Dog go back to their original days with giving generous portions of food such as french fries, tater tots, etc. My horseshoe had medium, or perhaps smaller sized burgers than from when I had last ordered this item. I typically order a double cheeseburger here with fries. I can say that the double cheeseburgers are still decent for the price you pay. You get a side of french fries with it automatically and can add some free condiments and the like to the burger. The burgers are always filled with flavor and have an amazing taste. The bun is always toasted and tastes right too! I am unsure what has happened with this establishment. I was not satisficed with my portion size with this horseshoe at all.

The spotted dog.. hit the spot. Delicious food. Amazing service. Friendly. Homely. I love this place. Once visit and I know that I will be back. Food is cheap five to seven usd for dishes. Huge portions. We got chicken Philly pony shoe loaded waffle fries cheese balls. All were delish. Cari is the Wednesday baretender waitress. Super friendly. They also have darts pizza small gamling video games and a small parking lot. Come here you won't be dissapointed.

Delicious! I'm not sure if you can go wrong with bread, spicy fried chicken, waffle fries, and bacon, all smothered in cheese. But it was delicious and fulfilled every craving imaginable in one dish. This is the place to go if you are looking to pig out. Its a meal large enough to share. The service is friendly and attentive. The restaurant is a little dark inside.

This is a hole in the wall, but the food was good and the staff was very friendly and attentive. It seems weird to say, but the prep cook needs to improve their knife skills. The onions, lettuce, and tomatoes on our nacho were large chunks. Nachos were tasty, but clunky to eat. Same with the Hot Dogs. I was hoping for a Chicago dog. They did not have all the toppings, but they did pile it high with what they had and it tasted great. The large pieces of onion, tomato, and pickle did make it hard to eat. For your side, spend the extra $1 for waffle fries. They were amazing. The pork tenderloin was enjoyed by others in my party. Good food and good service!

I was on a search for a new place to get lunch.. The Spotted Dog was on the list when I searched. There was a horseshoe pictured so it was an easy decision. It's a small bar right on Morrissey. It's adjacent to Grady's Pizza. It's not one of those bars that serves food and pretends it's not a bar. The lighting is dim. The bar is the most prominent thing. The bartender came to the table to take our order. She was very friendly. Good personality. One of those people who should be dealing with people. I can't stress how important that aspect can make all the difference. I like a server that joke around with you. On to the food! I got a order of cheese balls. Those were good. Not you're ton of the mill ones you get at most places. Some were a little dry but not every one is going come out perfect. The main course showed up soon after. The horseshoe. I substituted waffle fries for the regular fries. Wise choice. I got loaded. Sort of. Loaded usually means tomato, onions, and bacon. I just wanted the bacon. Another wise choice. The horseshoe was amazing. The best part is they actually seasoned the burger. Most places think the taste of all toppings is enough. Not The Spotted Dog. Made it even better. The cheese was great. Definitely not some nasty canned cheese. Unless you're really hungry settle for the ponyshoe. I had leftovers. It surprising reheated well and tasted just as good. My next thing to try is their tenderloin so definitely making another trip.

The best value and good times easily besting the more expensive and higher class venues around the area, simple and fantastic menu offering up the diner style eats straight from a home-cooked kitchen, and family style service multiple waitresses keeping attention on us though that was probably because there were not many others there for our Sunday mid-afternoon hit. Everyone loved the appetizers, wings, jalapeno corn poppers, and cheese curds made for a winning trio; then enjoyed hot dogs and sandwiches immensely - even without their vote their speed downing each dish made things plenty obvious. I split the large horseshoe though wondered why the loaded option wasn't on the menu though was informed later on it - definitely should have had it because the wonderous homestyle cheese sauce, fries, and grilled chicken was missing its onions, tomatoes, and other shoe laces; however at these prices cannot complain and will definitely be back!

I stopped in for the first time on 9/3/17 based on the few reviews here on yelp and the positive reviews on Facebook. All of the positive reviews of this place were warranted! The Spotted Dog was perfect for a quick, cheap lunch. My girlfriend and I had two bud lights, a basket of their cheddar cheese balls, and two horseshoes for about $22 before tip which is a great price for this area. Not to mention that the food and service were both very good as well. It was our bartenders first day and she was very much on top of things. read more

O.k., I have to admit this place looks a little dumpy from the outside, but looks can be deceiving because the food and the service are both great. We stopped in on a Monday afternoon and got to have the fish tacos ( a Monday special) and a grilled chicken sandwich. The fish tacos were amazing especially considering we are in Central Illinois. They come with this terrific slaw that has just the right amount of heat. The grilled chicken has good seasoning and is moist. The server who also takes care of the bar is friendly and keeps the conversation and the drinks flowing. While we were there, around 3:00, the tables and most of the seats at the bar were always full yet she managed to keep our drink glasses full and took time to make us feel welcome by telling us a little about herself, the menu, and the specials while she took care of our table. read more

We were in town for Special Olympics State games and when traveling we like to find places you can't go in any other town. My son found this place and based on the reviews we decided to give it a shot. The food was delicious- we started with fried pickles and cheese cubes which everyone enjoyed. For dinner my boys loved the horseshoes, my husband said the Spotted Dog sandwich was very good, my chicken philly was wonderful, and my daughters ate every bit of a grilled cheese and a pony. The portions were really big and the cheese sauce on the horseshoes/pony was fantastic. The only thing that was better was the food (which was amazing) was the staff. We had two women helping us and I believe one was the owner. They were extremely friendly, asking about where we were from, if we were in town for the state games and taking an interest in my daughters events and medals. With a crowded bar at 6 on a Friday they still took the time to be patient With my daughters conversation (it can take a bit) and made my girls feel like they were the only ones who mattered in the place. When dinner was over they said they wanted to do something nice and that our bill was covered. We were speechless! As a table of 6 that gesture was incredibly generous. We like to try new places but every time we are back in Bloomington we are headed to our favorite place - the Spotted Dog!! read more

Servers were coming and going but never acknowledged our table. Eventually, I had to get up and place our order at the bar. The bartender was the only positive - she was very friendly and helpful. While waiting for our food, I noticed the table next to us receive their food. The woman was served the wrong order-a burger that might have been mine- and after she touched it, I watched the server place that same burger back on the service table. Shortly after, a food runner picked it up and brought it to our table, which I immediately returned. Other than running food, no server ever checked on us or took responsibility for our table. The lack of service combined with the food-handling issue was extremely concerning and unacceptable. Unfortunately, this experience makes it hard to recommend or return to this restaurant.

We were there for wings and the order we had that day were good but didn't blow us away, but we agreed to make a future date night visit. The 2nd time I went there with buddies for an imprompt happy hour. Neither visit did I really spend any time with the menu and THAT was a huge mistake, because the menu is prodigious, esp if you're a fan of appetizers (which may be the best such list in the area) and esp given what I'm advocating for as the best app going currently - - the giant pretzel with optional apps stuffed inside the 3 spaces in the pretzel. It's an impressive list of mostly fried yumminess and as we work thru that part of the menu, everything has been spot on. Then I noticed on social media that they are now regularly firing up a smoker and mixing things up on the daily specials board quite a bit lately, so it's now time to try another part of the menu. The beer selection is small but mighty - usually with an IPA, a White Oak and another local brewery as well as Yeungling options. The service has always been near perfect. The ambiance a get a little loud (as it should be) during big games and happy hour, but otherwise, laid back.

The fries were fine, but the burgers were terrible -- dry, completely lacking flavor, and clearly unseasoned. I just don't understand why bars bother offering food if they aren't going to put any effort into making it decent. We each only managed to eat half of our burgers, which is rare for us. On top of that, service was lacking. Our server never checked back on us, and we had to walk up to the bar just to flag someone down.

Our entrees included Pork Coppa Ramen- which was a solid dish- strong beef broth flavor and the sambal (chili sauce) -a few cents extra- added a good depth of flavor. The fish bowl- tuna, salmon- with rice, pickled veggies, and gim (Korean seaweed) was tasty. It was even tasty the next day cold out of the fridge. Our server Jack did a nice job- we sampled their roasted carrots- and they were actually our favorite bite. We also had the potato graten and they were tasty- but could have been easily skipped with our Asian dinner vibe. The restaurant has a great eclectic historical vibe and was busy on a Friday night, but still felt spacious. The drink menu is a good selection- we enjoyed wine with dinner (a solid Pinot noir). I would definitely go back to have the pizza- which looked delicious at a couple of the neighboring tables. This is a great date night venue or girls night out.

So far, I've only done delivery, but that was a good experience. They have their own delivery…read moreservice, 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.

If you can find it, you'll love it. It's small and hometown. The service is wonderful and the food is well priced. They have the best waffle fries! Definitely get cheese to dip them in! I had the spotted dog, I'm not a fan of peppers and onions, the waitress suggested cut up pickles! It was just right. My buddy had their grilled cheese with 4 different types of cheese which was cooked perfect. Definitely worth it. read more
