Heard good things about this place and decided to give it a try, place was not all that crowded at 7 o'clock on a Wednesday and I was able to seat myself. Service was attentive and good from the bartender, the pork tenderloin was highly recommended and I would suggest the same. Bonus; ask for the Cajun ranch dipping sauce for the waffle fries! read more

A good experience, I'm not an IU guy or even someone who spends a lot of time in Bloomington but it's a great area. This place reminds me of Brothers without the rizz. That being said, service was good for a lunch hour. Wings were just ok, I ordered Big Red because I wanted to challenge myself to something with heat. This was incredibly mild which wasn't great considering the wings themselves didn't taste very great. Freezer burn kind of taste, it's pretty common at these sorts of places so usually sauce helps. Fried Pickles were phenomenal, I would get those again. read more

I want to give this place a higher rating because the food is absolutely delicious but the service was so slow. Our server was doing her best but we came in early on a Friday night and it took a long time to get our food, drinks, and check. It seemed like she was handling most of the restaurant by herself. The food was so good and we loved everything we got. They have plenty of indoor seating and it's a large place. If I did go back I would get my food to go. read more

Incompetent management. Poor service. The food is fine. The prices are reasonable, but this is one of the worst managed restaurants in Bloomington. read more

Yogi's did our catering over the weekend and everything went absolutely fantastic. The service was great, their communication is on point, and the food was delicious ! Definitely recommend choosing them for any Lunch caterings. read more

Service was absolutely amazing! Our waiter was great! The food was decent pretzel was good, smash burger needed more smash. Our party of 6 thoroughly enjoyed or yogi's experience. Atmosphere at yogi's was okay but it doesn't matter in a review in my opinion. The fried cookie dough was so exquisitely AMAZING! read more

Shout out to Cameron! She had 90% of the restaurant and bar by herself. She was friendly and her service for as busy as it was excellent! She deserves a raise. As for the management team- you should have been on the floor helping her! One gentleman did end up running her food, but the other 2.... Not so much! Cameron- you're doing great, sweetie! Keep smiling! read more

Always a great place to grab a sandwich and drink. Manager's have recently changed which has improved the overall look and feel of the restaurant. Food is great, service is great, restaurant is clean and when it's busy, the crowd is not rowdy or complaining about the wait! read more

Day trip to Bloomington with the fam, and we grabbed lunch at Yogi's. I'll admit I was uncertain how it would be - new location- but we were not disappointed. The loaded tot app was delicious, and the chicken strips remain delicious. My son and husband shared a pizza which was really thin and flavorful. Service was friendly but a little slow (with two kids we like to get in and out quickly). Over all it was a good dining experience and it was fun to share this spot with my husband and kids. read more

As an alum, and former trainer at Scotty's Brewhouse, it was so cool to go to Yogi's in the same spot. They have really decked the place out in full blown IU festive fun. I loved the ambiance. We were a big group! Six of us. Some of the highlights were the chicken Caesar wrap. It seems basic, but it was delicious. Wraps come with chips and salsa, the chips need more salt, great news that they had sea salt grinders on the table. The salsa was good. The chicken and waffles got great reviews, you add your own amount of syrup and hot honey, good move Yogi's! That came with Cole slaw, it was creamy and very good. The cool ranch Doritos burger got a great review as well. A couple people had tenders, they were good. The four stars come from speed of service and attentiveness. We were waiting for awhile for our food to get ordered, the beers to get delivered and the food. Also, the pickle chips are more breading than pickle. The pickles should be cut thicker. The spicy ranch was very good though. Our server was nice, accommodating and got the order 100% accurate without writing it down. Good for her. I would go back, it was a great place to watch March Madness. They had the men's and women's games on. Good move for Yogi's into this new spot. read more

The bar area and drinks are actually OK. It's the food that is lacking. The chicken velvet soup was so thick that it was like paste. They must make a big pot in the morning and it just sits on a warmer all day and night (I was here around 8 PM). I also ordered the pepperoni-stuffed breadsticks with pizza sauce for dipping. The breadsticks were underbaked and the pizza sauce was too thick and acidic. It's a far cry from the stuffed breadsticks from those just a half mile away at Kilroy's. read more

I visited Bloomington a few weeks ago and had the pleasure of eating at Yogi's. It's a sports bar, very casual atmosphere. We had pizza sticks, smash burgers, chicken tenders abs fries. You get alot of food. They give you a choice of tater tots or seasoned waffle fries with your entrees. The chicken strips are so tender and juicy. The burgers were messy and so delicious. Our waitress was very warm and hospitable. She made several recommendations and she was right about all of them. We had a great lunch and I look forward to coming back when I'm in the area again. read more

Why am I going to a place to make my own sandwich? Used to love going here, but the last two times the service had been so terrible. Waitress did not finish listening to my drink order and grabbed drinks filled with ice (not that big of deal) but when I ordered the same sandwich I've been getting the last 4 years, I essentially had to build it myself! Gave all the toppings on the side with bread and chicken on the plate. Never recommending this place again :( Yogis just isn't the same anymore read more

- Chicken Tender Platter 8.5/10 one of the best things on the menu! Get it tossed in sauce for sure. Gigantic portion of tots too. Chicken very tender. Huge portions size - Yogis Smash 6/10 not a very good burger at all. Def get something else. read more

So I'm not really into bar food. Not really into fried food, either. BUT -- I went to Yogi's for a nostalgic fix and was not disappointed. Years ago I learned that Yogi's had the best chicken tenders I had ever had. They closed and reopened at the new location and I was skeptical. I can look at chicken tenders and know if they are the flat super breaded kind I am not interested. These are lightly hand-breaded, SUPER juicy and the blue cheese at Yogi's is full of chunks of cheese. Sorry, no pic but they lived up to my memory and I will be indulging in an occasional guilty pleasure any time I roll through Btown. Service was fast and friendly. read more

Absolutely horrendous service, Iu / Purdue game and understaffed and had open tables but still waited over an hour to be seated. Will never ever go back! Really sad how poorly managed this place is and how far it's fallen! read more

Same issues as I've experienced at this restaurant in the past... great chicken tenders but terrible service. All of the workers sat at the bar socializing with each other loudly complaining about being scheduled tonight. The food took forever to come out and the staff described tonight as a "light sunday" so 40 minutes for chicken tenders and fries is frustrating. Drinks weren't refilled once. We waited way too long to be helped for the check. Maybe I should just start ordering pickup so my experience with yogis isn't tarnished with each visit... read more

Oh I was so happy to see Yogis back. Same name, some of the same menu, but most else is different. I was a frequent patron of the now haunted 10th Street location. Not in the "I come here for IU games" frequent, but in I would come once a week and try to convince others to come even though they didn't want to. And could you blame them? It was gross. There was a layer of grime on everything, there were always fruit flies (even in the winter), you had to know the meatloaf rotation before you risked ordering it, and god help you if you ordered the shrimp. Just a weird place; one where people just kind of worked there but no one was really managing it. I always sat at the bar because the service was otherwise atrocious. They would hire 19yo girls based on looks, not train them, then they would quit in a few weeks and you would never see the same ones. Anyway, that's all memory lane. What about Yogis 2.0 as it were... Obviously the place is nicer. Scottys was, if anything, always clean. Yogis also feels clean. The menu is better; more focused. I lost my meatloaf, but the random "specials" that you would never want to risk are gone. Beer list is fine. I don't know that it will ever get much better than the old Yogis, and even getting close would probably make them lose money like old Yogis. Atmosphere is more fun. Service is great. I had a tenderloin. They put brown mustard on it and I love that. Upland started putting a "stone ground aioli" on theirs and it now tastes like dog shit. Is it a new thing to put mustard on a tenderloin? Because I used to have to put it on myself and I am convinced I unwittingly started a local trend. They have some solid cocktail stuff too, like legit fresh berries (not frozen), fresh mint, etc. Frozen drinks for the kids too. I was told to try the pina colada, the taste of which I would liken to draining the balls of one of those big cans of pineapple. Who knows if there's rum in there or not; I couldn't tell. But not to disparage the place. This was super fun for me. After moving, I missed Yogis. I was sad when it closed. Yeah it's not Nick's, but there's still history there and I am glad someone else thinks so and kept it alive. read more

We ventured on a cloudy afternoon to try out one of the restaurants participating in Deviur Bloomington. Although it is downtown, you will find a parking garage nearby. When we were seated, a delightful waitress came to serve us. She only had one menu for the Devour Bloomington specials. Yet the choices were delectable. We received an appetizer. two entrees and a dessert from the menu for one price. The diet cokes were extra. We devoured the cheese curds and the cheese cake. Notice the cheese theme. We took home over half of our entrees for later. The food was excellent. What a great way to try out a restaurant in the middle of a pandemic! read more

Great sport bar to watch any game. The food was good and the bartenders are great. I will definitely be back when I'm in the area.

Good food (the chicken tenders are as good as advertised), plenty of tvs for sports and a good, young waitstaff full of positive energy.

Jackson our server exceeded expectations! Was very attentive and made sure we were always taken care of. If you come here see if jackson is serving and you will not be disappointed! read more

Tried to eat lunch at Yogi's last Friday. Was told it would be a ten-minute wait for our party of four. At one point, the hostess grabbed menus and led us back to what she thought was an open table, it wasn't, so she marched us back to the front of the house to wait some more. The waiting area is not very big and ten minutes turned to fifteen minutes and at that point we couldn't wait any longer. From what I saw from our time waiting, the new Yogi's is a lot like the Tap (one of the other bar/restaurants owned by this same group) with high stools, tv sets, and loud music. It seemed too loud for an enjoyable workday lunch with friends. I'll try again in a few weeks. read more

Absolutely do not know what they're doing. Waited for over 50 minutes and they apologized for sitting parties ahead of us. Can't recommend Seated at 55 minutes. Been in the restaurant for one solid yet to have anyone to wait on our table. Wow! At this rate they may close before food or drink. read more

I've been anticipating the return of Yogi's Bar & Grill under the new ownership and was not disappointed with my opening day experience during lunch! I opted for the Chicken Parmesan wrap with buffalo chips because they were two of my favorite items at the original location and not only were they as good as I remembered but even better! If you like ranch order some with your buffalo chips as a pro tip! My co-worker ordered the tenderloin which was on special for Monday and said it was great! The service was great and the new staff was friendly and knowledgeable with the menu items. Finney Hospital Group (the new ownership) did a great job of truly preserving all of the things people loved about Yogi's while bringing their own modern spin and a few new menu items. Almost everything on the menu ends in $0.92 as a nod to the original establishment opening in 1992 as another fun tie in to the history. The decor is a great touch of all things Bloomington and IU with an artistic flair of murals from a talented local artist. The restaurant is family friendly and the menu is a competitive price point that won't hurt the wallet with great lunch and drink specials every day. I can't wait to come back to Yogi's and am definitely looking forward to the IU game day experience there as well as the expansion in a few months which will include a 21+ area. read more

So my son who had eaten there with a friend wanted to get carry out with a burger he had at the time. I submitted and chose the "hail Caesar" wrap with the buffalo chips as a side. The wrap while good portioned just didn't have much Caesar dressing and this much taste. The worst part is there were a few small chicken parts like tendons that could not be chewed. The Buffalo chips just didn't know what they wanted to be. They weren't at all crispy like chips but were kinda in between moist like potato wedges. read more

A friend of mine had told me about this place and had sent me pictures of when he went there. This restaurant took over the old Scotty's Brew house and boy did they make the place look exceptional. I could write a long review about the place itself but the details will be in the pictures and you will love them. As for the food, it was absolutely top notch and pretty quick service to get it. I would recommend this place for guest coming out of town to get a btown hometown feel or a place to hangout on the weekend. read more

Ordered the fry sampler (great) with sauces as an appetizer, the chicken tender salad and the rib/mac&cheese sandwich. The fry sample was good. All of the sauces have a level of spice. The salad was fine. It was mostly romaine with the tenders. We went on a Friday night and it was busy, but that was to be expected. We also split a pitcher of beer. Overall, it was a fine experience. The tenders match up to the old Yogi's, and the house ranch was good. The space is very loud. I would say it's more like the old Scotty's vibe than Yogi's, and I was a little disappointed with that. read more

We were passing through Bloomington & chose Yogi's because of their vegetarian choices -- they had a full menu, even for a Sunday afternoon, that would please everyone. I chose the flafel wrap & loved it! I've never had one before, but would definitely get it again. My husband got the portobello mushroom wrap. We could've done with more mushroom and less onions, but still very tasty! We sat on the patio, and unlike some other places, the wait staff was very attentive to checking up on their outdoor customers! No complaints! The restaurant is adapting to changing times very well & have included QR menus & also QR receipts to pay. Super innovative! It seems like it might be a local towny bar, & it very well could be, but definitely was clean, had great food offerings & modern technology adaptations. read more

Service (host or guy in charge of talking to people past 11:00 pm - skinny dude with a silver chain) was solely to blame. Here is a summary: - left us to wait at the door for 10+ minutes in a nearly empty restaurant that was fully staffed - was upset friend used bathroom after 10 minutes of waiting - told us "people" couldn't read - got upset Foreign friends had alternate ID (Passport and FOID) - Further escalated things when I asked him why he was giving us a hard time It was a seat yourself and no one came for 10+ minutes when the place had maybe 3 of 20+ tables occupied. Got fed up because we had to use the bathroom and did. On our way back to the front to hopefully get seated we get confronted about not waiting by the host, we explained the situation, he still says "people just can't read," - not a great start. We have to wait another 5 minutes while he chats to a group of girls. He finally arrives and asks for our ID's... My friend one friend has a passport (valid ID obviously) has a FOID card (also valid ID that has also been accepted at other bars) and thinks it's problematic and lectures his wallet construction and how he should never give people this card. He continues pestering my friend and I interject "why are you being an A hole,", he gets combative, I tell him we are paying customers and that there are options and ask why he is treating us this way, he tells us to leave, notes that "it doesn't matter" if we do, and we leave. I'm writing a review just to say that whoever the guy is should not be customer facing and the manager (or guy I think is the manager because he had the only Yogi's polo) did nothing to rectify the situation read more

This review is based on service only. I didn't get food as I just popped in to get a drink or two after a long day and maybe this wasn't the place for that. It was semi busy and I sat at the bar. There were two others at the bar finishing up. Three bartenders walked back and forth and chatted while I sat there for about 10 minutes before I was acknowledged. Be aware if you order a tall (Tito's and soda) you'll be charged for a double. When your glass goes empty they are still slow to ask if you need anything else. Maybe it was an off night but I'm in no hurry to revisit. There are better options downtown. read more
