Bandana's Bar-B-Q- Bloomington

If I could give this less than 1 star, I would.

We arrived at 7:15pm, they took our order right after, brought our drinks out and then we never saw our waitress again. Ended up waiting almost an hour for our food (brisket platters) and when we got them, everything was cold. When you tasted it, it seemed like it had just been sitting there for a while. The meat was thick sliced deli style meat and tasted like it was frozen and then microwaved. It was super tough, absolutely flavorless, and all they give you is a butter knife to cut it with (I would have needed a freshly sharpened steak knife for that). Fries were cold, Mac and cheese was cold, bread was okay at best. Im still just so confused as to why it took 45 -50 minutes to get cold food?? We came in with almost 2 hours before closing, but seemed like they checked out for the day. Started cleaning up the place all around us aggressively before we even got our food. Kinda makes you feel rushed, especially when you’ve been waiting.

I am really not sure how anyone rated this 5 stars. The people that did most likely have never had properly seasoned/properly cooked food. Overall just very disappointed. For $50 you REALLY would have expected more. We drove over an hour to dine here and it was terrible all around.

And PLEASE don’t get me started on the bathrooms. 😩
