Rosie's

Rosie's is located in downtown Bloomington on E. Front St. We went in the middle of the lunch hour (before 12:30pm) on 3/11/11. The place was pretty full when we walked in. The non-bar side was full, but the bar side had some open seats at the bar. There were two waitresses working on the bar side, with one also working the bar. Even though they were busy, they took our order promptly. The lunch menu provided a good variety of food which consisted of appetizers, salads, sandwiches, burgers.

I ordered the Dynamic Duo sandwich which had ham, turkey, lettuce american cheese, and honey mustard on a pretzel served with a side of homemade potato chips. I was curious to see how it would look and taste. The sandwich and potato chips were pretty good. The sandwich was nice and warm and pre-cut. The price of the sandwich was $6.95.

I tried G.E. 2's bacon cheeseburger. It was really good. The slight char of the meat kind of reminded me of Portillo's.

I ordered the bacon cheeseburger that had 4 perfectly cooked strips of bacon, lettuce, tomato, and pickles. The sandwich was served on a Kaiser bun with a bountiful amount of fries. The fries were seasoned perfectly with kosher salt. The burger was flamed broiled. The taste was amazing! The flavors were great, it was hard to stop eating! I had a coffee and water to drink. The coffee cost $2.00, the sandwich and fries $7.50.

All the food was worth the wait and our waitress was flawless when it came to waiting on her customers and getting the food out while it was still hot. The other waitress was just as flawless, they worked the floor and bar amazingly! Both of the ladies were attentive and made sure my coffee was always full, and to a coffee drinker that's important. I think that the only thing I didn't care for was the unisex bathroom. Other than that the atmosphere and hospitality were great! Definitely a MUST on the return list.

The total bill (not including tip) was $18.05 which included the sandwich, the burger, and coffee. We left a tip of $3.55. We would definitely go back and try some of their appetizers and entrees and hope they're cooked just as well as the sandwich and burger.Website: http://www.rosiesbloomington.com/
