We went on Sunday, the burger baskets are a DEAL! Wow! We also got the grand slam sampler appetizer is what I think it was called - 4 appetizers essentially for about $13. Our entire bill for 2 people was $25. We will be back!

Ordered (for pickup) the burger horseshoe sandwich and the corn nuggets for lunch, and was not disappointed. The order was ready by the time I came to pick it up, and still hot. The server that helped me was super friendly as well.

Honest 1.

So you move downstate from the Chicagoland area to a super small town outside Bloomington and what are the chances the couple restaurants in that small town are outstanding for what they offer? Well, Game Day Grill, is one of those local places that simply does what they set out to do - "relaxed sports bar in a small town" - exceptionally well!A nicely appointed, casual sports bar with the typical TV's playing sports, some video games like Golden Tee, darts and pinball, in addition to a "video gaming/gambling area" if you're into that. Been there a couple times, both on weekends, with a decent crowd. Our first server; Ashley, was wonderful. Hustling around the room, but super gracious to explain their menu and offer up some popular selections. Second time, we had Liz, who was busy as well, but also provided great service. I'm giving this place 5 stars for a variety of reasons. One this place excels at what it sets out to do. 1) Better than average food & better than what you'd honestly expect a small town restaurant to plate & serve. 2) Portion sizes are great & Pricing for what you get is amazingly cheap! 3) Everything you'd expect a small town sports bar to be with daily/weekly specials and even an outdoor patio if you choose to sit out back and enjoy the weather. 4)Comfortable location - come as you are, with down to earth, friendly people here. Overall, you can't go wrong with their Burgers or Wings and the must order for families or bigger parties is the Grand Slam Sampler - a huge salted pretzel with your choice of 3 other appetizers. Cheese Curds & Fried Pickles are solid. I know they also have some BBQ that I'm yet to try but hear is good as well. If you're in the area, this place is a must if you're looking for a laid back spot/sports bar with cheap food & drinks! A+!

Great local bar in new facility. Really nice setup with a number of different games. The menu is huge, with a good selection of burgers, wings, salads and some unique items (rolls). I'll definitely be back to try those. The staff is very friendly. I had the wings, which were good size. I would have liked them to be cooked a little longer (crispier). Otherwise, I was very pleased. Looking forward to our next visit.

I really liked Gameday and have been there alot in the past. Today I called to place an order and was on hold for 15 minutes. I drove in on hold because I still wanted to pick up the food. When I got there I let her know she could hang up the phone because I was the one on hold but still wanted to order. She got a huge attitude and said "Yeah, look how busy it is". No apology, just attitude from the beginning. Due to her attitude I said I would get lunch somewhere else but thanks anyway. As I turned around she said "Yeah whatever keep talking". I was never disrespectful, or rude although she felt the need to be. About 15 minutes later I called back and asked for the manager. The same woman answered and said she was the manager, which floored me. So I explained she was wrong to treat me in such a way. I used to enjoy this place but as a disabled veteran I will find other place to spend my money where customers are treated with more respect.

What an surprise. We just happened to be passing through and were looking for something to eat and Game Day Grill popped up as a recommendation. We thought it was off to see so many positive reviews until we walked through the door. Ambiance was great, busy for the day and time with lots of good times being had. Staff were truly amazing. Prompt, attentive, with a desire to see you get what you wanted. We had a burger, some wings, and a brisket sandwich. Ask were very good, the kind of good that brings you back time and again. I'd definitely recommend, even if it's a little out of your way.

Great family gathering atmosphere and friendly staff! Was there for a baby shower and was actually one of the BEST I've been privileged to attend. Highly recommended!

We come here all the time and it's always great! The employees are very kind and do their best to make sure everyone is happy! The food was delicious! Although the music was a bit loud today for some reason.
