    Review Visit: August 17th, 2014 Fun name. Delicious food. While exploring Bloomington-Normal one day, my friends and I came across Windy City Wieners. First, we chuckled at the name but then decided we should grab some lunch there. Firstly, Windy City Wieners is located in a pleasant place location in Normal. It's near the Amtrak station, the street it's on has lots of little shops to browse. There is a parking lot to park nearby so you can walk around and visit shops. Now to the food. My friend Matt and I stopped by for food. It has been a few years, so I don't recall what I had. But I do know it was delicious. So good that I wanted to order another dog or two. Matt also enjoyed his meal and wanted a few more dogs, too. My memory may be a bit foggy, but I do remember the friendly staff and how delicious the food was. Conveniently, they have 2 locations, so if you are in the area, you have 2 choices of where to get some authentic Chicago-style hot dogs.

    Classic Chicago - Style Hot Dog
    Jessica F.

    Solid Chicago dogs! Staying the night on a road trip and found this gem walking distance from our hotel. Perfect snap biting into the dog with all the classic Chicago dog toppings. Fries were large cut & piping hot. We took our dogs to go & at at a nice shaded picnic area around the corner. Service was quick & price is very reasonable. Portions are generous. The restaurant is more of a take out place & has pretty basic ambiance for a quick bite. Cute little shop right on the main drag!

    Italian Sausage with mustard and onion

    It's not 5 star dining ! But it's classic Americana Italian beef ,Italian sausage and loaded fries is what I had all was pretty good ! Served hot and fresh ! Cool Little hotdog cart in a building nothing special but a good hot meal I would much rather spend $20 here than McDonald's!

    We love the impossible burgers here. They are these best in town. Wish they had a Windy City Wieners in Northern Illinois. It's a 2 1/2 hour drive from our house but we always come here when where in the Normal/Bloomington area. Burgers are definitely worth the drive. I would have taken a picture but it was so delicious and I ate all of it. The fries were very yummy also.

    Glorious Corn Dog

    where do I even start. This establishment is full of charm and good vibes. From the moment I walked through the door, the aroma from kitchen entered my nose and went straight to my heart. The food was absolutely phenomenal. I got the corn dog and butter garlic fries and let me tell you- they rocked my world. Don't even started on the exceptional service and employees. If I had a child, I would feel more than comfortable dropping him off at Windy City Weiners while I run an errand. So, if you're in the area and looking for the best meal of your life, look no further than Windy City Weiners!!

    I love it when I see Chicago things when I'm not in Chicago. They have Chicago dogs and Italian Sausage, I chose 2 chili cheese dogs though. I like they even have the poppy seed buns. They're faithful to Chicago flag colors of sky blue, white and red.

    Appearance almost made me throw up!!!

    Horrible Horrible Horrible!!!!! service. The first time I ordered from here they forgot my fries for my meal. The second time they put the wrong peppers on my gyro and the third I got gyro fries and they Gave me complete slop. I should've known it wouldn't be good when the delivery lady arrived at my BACK DOOR. I just moved here from the city and wanted something that tasted like home! this was a complete and utter disappointment JUST DISGRACEFUL DISTASTEFUL AND DISTURBING! I wouldn't even feed this to a dog on the street let alone another human being. FOUR slices of meat RINGED onions tomato SLICES and DRIED cheese on fries that 9/10 came out of the same grease as pork beef fish and whatever else they fry there. This place needs to be SHUT DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!

    It's called windy city wieners for a reason. If you can't handle a couple dogs ran through the garden, go somewhere else.

    I finally got to go check out Dave's Hot Chicken in Bloomington! This is some of the freshest hot…read morechicken I've ever had. First of all, their chicken strips are NOT small, so be prepared. When you order a slider, don't think you're getting some tiny sandwich--this thing is full-size and loaded. The kale slaw adds the perfect amount of flavor and crunch, especially when paired with Dave's sauce... such a good combo. The fries are also fantastic--almost perfect. I personally like mine just a little crispier, but the seasoning on them is so good it doesn't exactly matter lol And yes... we're talking about the pickles too. Perfect pickles. They add that extra bite and flavor that pushes the sandwich right over the edge to perfection. Oh and I almost forgot to mention my son wanted to try the macaroni and cheese so bad that he went up there and ordered a side of it, we all shared it. It was good, the noodles tasted just a little bit well done, and it smelled like velveeta. This place definitely gets crowded, but for good reason--it's a hot, popular spot and people know their chicken is fresh and amazing. There's plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors, and I absolutely love the graffiti artwork on the walls. The bright, bold colors are so inviting, it almost makes you want to come inside before you even smell the food. If you haven't been here yet, do yourself a favor and get over here and check it out. It's great!

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.

Order at the counter and they call your name when it's ready. I had the 3 finger combo which comes with fries, garlic bread and a drink. And of course the secret sauce.

    It was nice to go check out Raising Cane's in Bloomington a couple weeks ago. I had only ate at…read moreRaising Cane's twice ever so it's nice to be reminded of how good their chicken is. They were pretty crowded when we got there and the parking lot was a bit tight. It's kind of only one row of parking and I drive a larger vehicle so it was difficult to pull in or even back in to the parking place. I wanted to give 4 stars cause of the parking lot but instead just making sure you know, parking is a struggle. Once we finally got a parking place we went inside and placed our order. I noticed there was a lot of people that were happy and enjoying their dinner. There's not a lot of seating inside, I've definitely seen pictures of bigger Canes restaurants but it seems like it could be enough if people are in and out when they're finished eating. We didn't have to wait very long for our food and it was all fresh and hot! I enjoy the flavor of the chicken and also the cane sauce. The fries are okay but it'd be nice to try out some seasoning on them I'm not sure if this restaurant offers something like that. I love the art on the walls and I noticed the other two canes that I have been to have the brick wall painted with the canes logo. I love the ambience and all of the decor in the restaurant. I'd like to say that I would come back but they're building one in Peoria so I'll be able to have it there next. Thanks for making my meal fresh and ready!
