This was the most interesting visit. I was immediately greeted by a rather brash and abrasive woman who was shouting commands at me. I was taken aback by this very interesting introduction to this restaurant. She was attempting to crack jokes, and they came across as offensive. There are two women who work this front register. One is rather polite, shy, and demure. The other one is loud and obnoxious. The food is okay. Nothing special. I will never be back as the food was not that fantastic, and the attitude of the one woman was so abrasive that I couldn't endure that behavior on a future visit. Furthermore, people had entered the restaurant after myself, and they were served what appeared to be rather elaborate items of food before my simple meal arrived. It actually felt rather discriminatory. The most interesting aspect that truly shocked me the most was the surprise .55¢ fee for using a debit card. It wasn't announced until the sale had already been completed.

This was my 2nd time at this location since 2 years ago, so I feel as if I should leave a review. The staff is always kind and eager to help. They have patience for their consumers and have integrity. The food is also really good so it's no wonder that business is booming. It's also cheap for the quality of food you get! And this is coming from someone who is struggling financially. Compare this place to some place like Arby's.. Arby's is also cheap but the quality of their food is less than average. I will definitely be back again.

I go here usually once a week to pick up food for my girlfriend and I. Food is always fantastic and the service is superb. Kevan used to work for Wally from Wally’s Roast Beef and then opened his own restaurant once Wally’s moved to an office complex. Been going to Penn Lake Roast Beef since they opened and never been disappointed.

Best roast beef in Bloomington!Kevan used to work for the original Wally of Wally's Roast Beef for many years, but when Wally sold it to new owners and they started to cut corners with the quality of their ingredients, he decided to start his own restaurant. Now several years later, he continues to deliver the best roast beef sandwiches in town!Yummy!
