Crazy Horse — Restaurant in Bloomington

This restaurant was such a pleasant surprise. We were in town for a wedding and our family went to eat here. I was expecting the average American fare restaurant. Instead, everything we got was especially flavorful with incredible freshness and chef-level twists that put the food here as a top-level, must repeat visit experience. Every appetizer, entree, and dessert for our party of 4 was absolutely delicious. The toppings and sauces for everything from salads to sandwiches were special. I had a peach salad that was so amazing. The homemade dressing on it was like nothing I've ever had - perfect compliment to the salad. We had the pork sliders as appetizers for the table and had to order more, they were so good. The homemade chips were so good and different. Mark's Cuban was a hit with my husband - again, expecting a solid Cuban sandwich, but somehow the chef added a twist to the traditional and it was so much more.

On top of the food being great, the service was great! I can name only a handful of restaurants where the server could explain any dish, ingredients, and what made it special. He gave recommendations on his favorites when asked (like the salad special, Cuban, sliders), and we were blown away by good those were. The beer selection is excellent. We ate outside and it was just so nice. My husband, who isn't one to talk about restaurants, wanted to go back the next day and I overheard him telling his relatives to eat there when they go back to visit. With IU football doing so well, I have a feeling the family will make more trips back to the area to enjoy...

Crazy Horse is 100% my go to restaurant. The owner Ron and his wife are truly great people and it shows in their restaurant. The environment is warm, fun and enjoyable. I've never had less than great service though (and I go once a week at least). The have the best chef around and all of their food is freshly made, not frozen. Even their mozzarella sticks are hand battered. I'm rather picky and I've never had a meal there that doesn't surprise me with it's greatness! I've tried many new things and I've loved every one of them. Let's not forget the alcohol, there is quite an impressive array of drinks, beers, and whiskeys he has available! And the drinks are very reasonable as well!

The other "Crazy" thing is their prices. You can't even go to McDonald's or Burger King, and get a crappy meal for what you pay for an amazing meal at Crazy Horse. I don't know how they do it all to be honest, but the owners are both very smart people, they are long time locals, and have proven themselves to be very successful and caring business owners.

The staff (and the owners when we run into them) always make us feel welcome and take great care of us. They have TV's everywhere and can get things on their TV's many others cannot. I also love sitting outside on the patio when it's nice outside too! If you make Crazy Horse your go to as well I seriously doubt you'll every be disappointed with anything. It's hard to please everyone these days, but in my opinion and all of my friend's opinions it's safe to say you'll...

Had been there and ordered from this place in the past, and was generally satisfied, but ordered once again tonight, and found everything to be EXTREMELY disappointing. And I DO mean EXTREMELY. The food we got, for the price we paid was unacceptable. We had ordered several meals this night, two of which I'm ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE we were shorted on. It was supposed to be two FULL RACKS of ribs, which we paid in excess of $20 each on, but when it arrived, was only half a rack. I work in a grocery store, and know a full rack of ribs when I see it, this was clearly NOT what was advertised. The sides that came with it were ridiculously small, and poor quality. Had the Mac n Cheese, and Baked Beans, which, were in fact NOT baked beans at all. You don't add some sugar, to a can of Hormel canned chili, and call those baked beans. Mac n Cheese was alright. Ribs, as I stated, not what was ordered, for the price. Side of fries, underfried, and frozen fries at that. Got a crab dip, which was exceptionally fishy smelling, not to mention, we've bought this exact dip at a local grocery store before... it's the same exact crab dip! Come on... the public ISN'T as stupid as you might think us to be!

Do I sound upset? Yes, I do, because I AM upset. We paid a lot for this... "crap" that we received, and I will say right now, that this "establishment" has lost some customers, that order in NO SMALL QUANTITIES. Congratulations, Crazy Horse. You've screwed me over for...
