It’s a basic place, nothing fancy at all but it’s like a time capsule and it’s got a quirky decor but the sandwiches are solid. Simple though, nothing bougie but definitely a good trip to wolf down a delectable, I mean yummy roast beef sandwich with a malted shake.

We were going to stop at a nearby restaurant but it was closed. We tried this place. The roast beef is fabulous and the service is top notch. Don’t let the hole-in-the-wall vibe turn you away!

Amazing service and food. The staff were super friendly and helpful. We got a few different things and sampled them all. I enjoyed the meatloaf sandwich. My girlfriend ordered the phili cheese sandwich. Both were delicious. Thank you. If you have not tried this spot. I highly recommend you do.

This place is a must-stop!! We had a lovely time at our first visit to this locally-owned restaurant. The woman who greeted us was so kind, sweet, charming, and welcoming. She was my favorite part of the experience. She made sure that we had everything we needed to enjoy our meal, and she went above and beyond to do so. I ordered the #1 Roast Beef Combo (sandwich and fries), and my husband ordered the Roast Turkey plate (turkey, mashed potatoes with gravy, and corn). We also wanted to try their egg rolls and cream cheese wontons, and the woman who helped us offered to do a half-order of each. Everything was so good! Get the jus with your roast beef. It’s so good! Fries were served super hot. The egg roll has amazing flavor. The roast turkey plate was wonderful comfort food. Lots of parking in the lot outside, as it’s located in a strip mall. Great restaurant run by a beautiful family!

Came here and bought the French dip. Paid $10 for a dip without barely any meat. The decor is weird for a roast beef place and it feels like a Chinese restaurant instead. The fries are crinkle cut and not worth the extra money. After drink and fries or was $13. Just not worth the price in my opinion.

I had the big roast beef sandwich with cheese. Added the BBQ from the pump in the back. It was delicious. Wings were good too. Fries were crispy despite being crinkle cut. Even though my food was five stars delicious, I was a bit jealous of my friends hot roast beef. It looked ridiculous. Great prices. Definitely returning.

I got the hot roast beef plate with potatoes amd gravy. Smaller portion than Wallys, but i think it tasted better. We will be going back. Saturday and Sunday has a special for two roast beef, two meatloaf or grilled ham cheese sandwiches for $6.99.

A must stop if your in the Bloomington area! Very reasonable prices for great meal in a friendly atmosphere. The roast beef is so tender and good. I stopped here for dinner 2 times while I was in the area for work, I even got a meatloaf dinner to go for my lunch the next day. Definitely try the roast beef egg rolls they are so tasty!!! And if you get the roast beef, say yes to the au jus, you will not be disappointed. I feel bad that I can not remember the name of the lady that runs the front end while her brother does the cooking, but she is SUPER nice! She gave me great places to visit while in the area and just makes you feel so welcome when you enter the restaurant. Thank you for making my day a litte brighter after a long day at work

The ONLY place to go to get roast beef (or turkey)!!! You can actually get it rare or well done. Don’t skip the mashed potatoes or potato cakes (screw Arbys). There is more on the menu but I can’t stray from the jumbo rare roast beef with au jus, mashed potatoes & gravy with horseradish, onions, picklesand house bbq!! They are also very nice, always treating my 8 year old with generosity. I visit everytime I visit my brother in Richfield. They are low key and delicious.

Great Hot Beef Sandwich, try it! First place that has given as much gravy as I like! Very quick service and cook times. When google questions asked if it was fast food, I almost said yes but this place is better than that in every way. Clean restaurant, quality beef. The prices are unreal. Looking forward to Beef Stroganoff next time!
