Great service and they have had the best biscuits and gravy in Bloomington for decades. I am willing to bet the other food is good too but since I can't go here and not get biscuits and gravy, I really can't say for sure. Street parking can sometimes be a problem it's not too expensive if you find a place...(it's easier with the ParkMobile app so take this as a recommendation for that as well).

Wonderful food...HUGE pancakes "as big as your face!" and scrumptious hot chocolate with TALL mountain of whipped cream. Great staff. Funky interior. Very bright and lively. Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon is best I've ever tasted...wasn't expecting that in a Midwest College town. Fast service. Good value for portion sizes and nice quality of food. Quite the line at times, but moves quickly. Will certainly make this a sure breakfast stop next time in Bloomington!

Absolutely would recommend. Start with a glass of Orange juice...... ahhh yep. Now that is what the rest of the food is like. 10/10 would recommend. I never eat breakfast, frankly don't care for it. This place has me craving breakfast.

First they dont have any physical menus, its all digital. I dont care for that at all when I am eating inside. This place was not very busy at all, which is fine. Some reviews say its always busy and thats just not the case. The ambiance is extremely outdated and their seating is bad for most people. Now for the good is the cornbeef hash. Very tasty but its overpriced and you dont get much of it. The omelet was average at best, looks better than it is. You have to pay for each item in your omelet. Theres a base price and you add from there. I have no liking to that concept at all. The bacon was bacon bits in the omelet which is fine if its actual bacon cooked up and sliced down but seemed to be store bought. All in all theres no way id come back here. The price was $30 for all, seems outrageous right. That includes tip.

Btown classic. I always come back for their breakfast tacos because their avocado crema is *chef's kiss*. My sig other tried their pancake and it was a massive slab of buttermilk-y goodness. Great service, greater food, and greatest vibes. Anyone not familiar with them, be careful for some of the longer waits when it gets packed, otherwise highly recommend trying.

It was just ok. I hadn't been in several years, and I would be ok with waiting a few more to return. It has been hit or miss over the past 5 years. My party really liked the breakfast tacos and biscuits and gravy. I liked my side of potatoes. The Norwegian Benedict was very bad. It only had 2 very small slices of salmon, and was drowning in Hollandaise sauce that was thick and goopy. Additionally, it had so much cream cheese. It was a mess to eat. The English muffin was hard and I could hardly cut it, or see it. I was so disappointed and should have sent it back, but I didn't want to wait another 40 minutes for my food.

Standard breakfast spot in Bloomington. The BEST home fries I've had yet. VERY flavorful while also being crunchy potatoes! Breakfast croissant didn't really have much cheese. Everything else in general was pretty mid. The best part were the potatoes but nothing outstanding compared to other places. Could find cheaper elsewhere in terms of price

This place is a campus icon at Indiana University, right on Kirkwood. Don't let the name Deli mislead you. I think they are more known for breakfast than lunch. It's actually more of a dinner than a deli. But they serve a good solid breakfast. I derped in on a weekday, so I had no wait and the experience was great. I have passed the place up many times on a weekend morning, when Kirkwood and the hung over folks waiting for breakfast are a bit of a mess from the night before. There always seems to be a lot of people waiting to get in on weekends.

Tried to go here on a Sunday morning where there wasn’t but a 2 minute wait according to the wait staff. Waited and was ignored for quite some time. Left in front of the staff having stood there by myself . Apparently a single table for breakfast represents too little to them on Sunday. It felt awesome to be ignored. I’ll be ignoring them everyday of the week now!

You can't beat the village deli for breakfast. Pancakes are always a favorite. It gets a little crowded after during the morning, but it's well worth of the visit.

Very nice breakfast spot with great outdoor seating when the weather is right. The corn beef hash was exceptional.
