Windy City Wieners is where to find okay Chicago style hot dogs and some other things. Open late. This is good for if you get the munchies after a night of partying and smoking. Cramped place with not a whole lot of room inside. It's one of those places you order at the counter and wait around until they call your order. There's only a few tables. It seems most people get carryout. They have a few things besides hot dogs. It's about $9 for an Impossible Burger. This comes with ketchup, lettuce, mustard, pickles, red onions, and tomatoes. Has some basic drunk food. It's got a couple locations, including this one close to the ISU campus that's open later. There's a few healthier options, including an Impossible Burger okay for vegans and vegetarians.

The Spotted Dog is mostly a local hangout and probably has the same small group in there all the time. Good prices on drinks. Menu has typical bar food options. About the best thing that can be said is it has cheap drinks. It's about $2.50 for a basic liquor. They also pour these pretty strong. Food isn't as impressive. Pretzel Bites are probably the healthiest thing. It's $7 for a basket. The rest of the food includes the infamous Horseshoe sandwich, which is a big ass open faced sandwich covered in fries and cheese sauce, and that's about it. Go here to drink, eat, and play games. It has quite a few slots for a tiny ass place. The drinks are cheap and the food is the basic stuff.

While my partner grew up eating Portillo's, I had never had the chance to try it. So right before…read moreheading out of town on a Saturday, we found ourselves in need of a quick lunch and thought Portillo's would be a great choice. The place is huge, with three different dining rooms and an outside patio. The parking lot is large enough to accommodate such a crowd as well, as the place was pretty packed and we had no issues getting a spot not far from the restaurant. We did not wait long in line to order, and I was impressed by how fast the food came out. They obviously have a great system and plenty of workers to make sure you food comes out fast, fresh, hot, and correct. I got the chopped salad, since I needed something refreshing, and my partner relived his childhood with his favorite burger, fries, and a milkshake. The salad was great! I was skeptical about the pasta in it, but it added great texture and held onto the gorgonzola cheese well. Overall the flavors were balanced and each bite was tasty. The bread it is served with is also great. It came out still warm and went amazing with my salad. My partner loved his burger, saying it was just like he remembers, and let me try his vanilla shake. It was thick, creamy, and had great vanilla flavor. While I am not a plain vanilla fan, I found their ice cream very good. We were in and out in an hour and spent probably the same amount of money we would have at any other fast food or fast casual place. The bathrooms were also clean and had plenty of stalls. If given the opportunity again I would definitely come back.

The store in Normal is about a 15 minute drive off Interstate 74 from the south side of town. I started with 2 Chicago-style hot dogs. There was a pickle spear, a tomato slice, and some peppers in with my hot dog, on a poppy seed bun. I devoured them. Then I let my wife know where I was eating. She suggested I try a hot and wet, and the chocolate cake. The hot dogs were excellent so I decided to try them. I wasn't sure what a hot and wet was so I asked the cashier who took my order. She said "I got you." It was a slow-roasted Italian beef sandwich with hot peppers and dipped in the beef's natural "gravy" that dripped off it while it was roasting. I opened the package and started eating immediately. There was no stopping until it was gone. The photo in their online menu is pretty accurate. I didn't pause long enough to take one myself. Then there was the cake. If you like chocolate cake, this is a no-brainer. It was definitely non-dry. It was likely the best cake I''ve eaten all year. The restaurant was nice and clean, with someone cleaning up after customers as soon as tables were vacated. The cashiers were friendly, and the woman calling out the numbers was extremely friendly. I saw her offer to help a woman across the dining area from the pick-up window to package up a large to-go order. She also noticed that I went back for the cake. I will have to stop here again the next time I'm passing through.

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.

So I ate one, splitting the meat and pico across the two tortillas, which was really ample and delicious, and took the other home for later. My only complaint is that there was a line at the counter when we walked in, and because of that we didn't realize they had menus on the counter. We sat down at a table, and with no QR code or other way to look at the menu, we pulled out our phones and were trying to do it online without much success (several sites had difference versions, and with no descriptions). It wasn't until a staff member came out from the counter and asked us if we were okay that we explained this, then she brought us some menus and was super-helpful. My husband had a beef burrito, served with rice and beans, and also said his was excellent. One other bonus - root beer as a choice in the pop dispenser! Yum!

It got to the point where when we received the food, we were missing like 3 things. Then we told the lady and she said, "you can just go back around." honestly, I was disappointed. I ordered a berry citrus refresher and they got the order wrong and it was the mango flavor. I thought "well it's ok it will taste good right?" Nope.
