Delicious food and great services for a low price. I went in during my lunch break and the restaurant was well staffed and the servers were quick and attentive. I got the salad bar, soup, Philly cheese, and fries. All for $8! And my sandwich was out before I even finished my salad! The Philly was hearty and the fries were plentiful. Plus, it all tasted great! The salad bar and the soup were self-serving which is good for seconds. Although, my first trip plus the entree were enough for me.

Why has it taken this long for us to find this Gem! Absolutely thee best restaurant so far that we have found for breakfast. They currently only surve breakfast and lunch. But seems they are thinking dinner menus soon. This place was quite, and very welcoming. They provide two dinning areas, the lounge (bar- our favorite) that also has table tops for four. Then there is the dinner! Here is photos of our trip for breakfast!

The food was good not overly seasoned. The inside was wonderful not what we expected. It was very warming a big plus very clean. You could tell employees took pride in it. The prices were on the cheaper side. I would recommend this place if you want to feel at home. I didnt try the coffee so let me know what you think and follow me I review alot all over the world.

Written by a student in my 4th grade class...

Times Past Inn is located at 1216 Towanda Ave in Bloomington, IL. It is near the Dollar General. The food that they serve is breakfast food like bagels, fruit, pancakes, cereal, waffles, etc and it tastes equivalent. It doesn't have much decor sadly. Only a few paintings and some gnomes and it's not that cool but what do you expect from a breakfast place. But I would go there all the time. The atmosphere is very homey because it's nice and dim and there are two parts of the restaurant, one a bar where you can eat and two the main lobby and there is a row of chairs at the bar part so you don't have to go to a table. It's not clean very much there's food under the table and the chairs are ripped in the booths and sometimes crumbs at the booth/table but that doesn't make the food taste that bad

For my entree I got Buttered bagels with cream cheese. It is fresh out of the toaster by the way if you wanted to know. biscuits and gravy are an option to get so i would though. Trust me it makes you mouthwater. For my beverage I always get a Sprite that is mouthwatering. It tastes really good so i recommend it but they also have lemonade i think.

My thoughts on the food that you can get at Times Past Inn are great. It's a good quick meal that you can get. If you need food on a trip, go to your nearest times past if you are near one. All in all I think you (the reader) should go to Times Past Inn because they have the best bagels and biscuits and gravy but that's what I get. They...

Hadn't been to Times Past Inn for some time and were pleasantly surprised to see the new brighter decor. Still progress but definitely a big change!

Breakfast was great as always. My friend had never been there before but her Mexican Omlette was beautiful and delicious! I had #6 eggs (over medium done perfectly) bacon (perfectly crisp but not burnt) and 2 big fluffy pancakes. Really hit the spot.

Our Server Terri(sp?) was great, friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and quick with the coffee refills!

Owner Matthew stopped by to check on us and advised the improvements yet to come. Very nice!

Times Past has it all great food, atmosphere and friendly service. I think this going to a new/old regular...

Decided to go out for breakfast today. Was very disappointed in my meal. The waitress kept my coffee full 😋 gave me my check shortly after serving my meal. Didn't ask if I may have wanted something else. Had an omelet and French toast. There were very hard dry pieces of meat in the omelet. The French toast was one of the worst I have had. Still had dry bread in the center of the slices. The cinnamon must have had the bottle opened next to the egg and milk almost no taste of it. Pretty much an empty dining room. Couple tables and only 1 person came in after I had been there for 40 minutes. I hope this is not a sign of how the future will be for them. Always remembered a much better...
