    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!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Our late night visit to Epiphany Farms/Anju was exceptional! A huge drink menu welcome us and we…read morehad the Beyond jalapeño cornbread for a starter, which proved to be quite yummy and not hot at all. We decided to go with the rustic pizzas that were delicious and unusual: harmony, Korean, chicken and loaded supreme. The crust tasted like it was from a woodfired oven and the Korean chicken pizza was so unusual and tasty with kimchi and pickled shiitake. The fresh from the forest mushroom side dish they gave us a special treat to us was quite a delicacy. Even the farm to table items they have for sale when you walk in to take home are a treat, Especially the homemade marshmallows! Ended with dessert of a fresh orange olive oil cake with just tremendous flavor and blood orange on the side and orange marmalade on the cake. It served exquisitely with a side of homemade ice cream that was to die for. We can't wait to come back! Our waitress, Lupe, treated us like family and was incredibly personal and warm. Put this on your must visit List.

We started with the sashimi plate. The fish was fresh- including tuna, salmon, shrimp- placed over small celery bites. A variety of sauces were dotted around the plate's edge. The dish would have benefited from some ginger and more sauce. 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.

I did not know this prior to making our trip to Bloomington and then navigating the fam bam all the way there only to be disheartened when I saw this. Given the parents were older and past their lunch time we decided to say what the hell and stop in! If you're thinking this DON'T! This place is pure garbage! I think the only moisture in from the entire set of food we got was from the condensation of the shitty water the waiter brought! I got the bacon burger and the thing was like jerky, literally one single piece of bacon broken in half was placed on the top! No flavor no moisture, there was supposed to be candied jalapeños on top, there was literally hold on let me count......2!!!!! I asked for a side order of them so actually make this a spicy jalapeño bacon burger and the waiter responds with, sorry we're slammed right now, and the cooks would have to make them. They were mildly busy, and if the cooks would have done their jobs correctly in the first place this wouldn't be my problem. The whole thing was a shit show from the time it took to order and pay to asking for extra jalapeños that they couldn't do! Skip this place if you have a palette, even the old folks we were with that enjoy things as sad as dried meatloaf were not impressed! That should clue you in, this place isn't there for good food, it's there for expensive convenience to prop up a sub par hotel!

    So we've been coming here since it opened and in fact had been to its predecessor in St. Louis…read morebefore that. We're pretty familiar with what they used to, and are trying, to be and while we have come to expect lofty goals, it seems like the longer in the tooth this place gets, the more they lose focus. Our most recent Valentines visit reinforced this with some disappointing bar service and a 'special featured' appetizer that took our disappointment to the next level. I get that on a busy night like Valentines, stuff happens, but in this case it was still relatively early (5:30 pm) and they had more than enough employees, it's just that those workers constantly stepped on each other, ignored customers for lengthy stretches, and missed a few details that used to come naturally at this place. Combine that with food delivery confusion and a complete fail on the supposed special feature of "sealed scallops with risotto" app and it left us feeling unfulfilled on what should have been a romantic visit. The next time they offer the scallop app, we strongly suggest they actually do more than wave one side of the scallop over a lukewarm-warm pan (nothing that resembles a 'sear') and figure a way to cut the greasiness of the garlic rice dollops without covering everything in pea tendrils such that you don't notice the lack of sear marks and oily pooling. We give the place three stars based on the still modern and comfortable decor, nice ambiance, robust cocktail & beer selection and the execution of the Tuna Tartare - still one of the lady's favorite bites in town. Perhaps it's just a management/training issue, but it touches both the kitchen and the floor and will hopefully be addressed before our next visit.
