   You can’t beat Janko’s on game night! The staff were amazing the way they worked professionally and quickly to get everyone out in time for tip off. The food was great, as always.

    Our server was Kathryn. She was excellent. My husband is a cancer survivor & has special eating restrictions/limitations. She was very sympathetic to his needs & took excellent care of him. She even remembered his “cancer” story.

    We made a reservation at Janko’s for my 60th birthday. We drove from Indianapolis to Bloomington to celebrate this milestone birthday. I made the reservation 1 month in advance. We arrive at 7 pm, the time of our reservation. We were asked to wait a few moments while they got the table ready. 30 minutes later we were finally seated. When I asked the hostess what the issue was she informed me they were busy & walk ins had to wait. When I informed her & showed her the confirmation of the reservation she acted like I was being a pest. I love this restaurant but next time if we are not seated at the time of our reservation I will demand to see the manager.😡

    All of the food was , as usual , wonderful ! From the bread to the salad, to the main courses . My steak was so tender I could literally cut it with the side of a fork , and the forks are not that heavy, lol. Our friend got the double ribs so he could take some home , but I’m not sure how much was left . It’s loud , and crazy , and fun! Do yourself a favor .

    We arrived early for our 7:30 reservation. The restaurant was packed and lots of folks crammed waiting at the door and in a small glassed enclosure. Staff was working hard to get everyone seated. We were seated after 8. The tables are small and very close together- extremely uncomfortable. It was too loud to carry on a conversation. Wait staff served us promptly and the food was great but extremely overpriced for the experience. Lots of folks camping out at tables without any consideration for other diners waiting for their reservation times.

    Birthday dinner ordered sirloin medium and NY strip medium. Both had to be returned to the grill. NY strip went back to the grill an additional time to return too tough on the outside to enjoy. No apology. No discount. Staff continued to ask to remove items from our table with the sense of urgency for the next reservation. Very disappointed with our visit.

    Great Steaks at an IU institution. Not cheap but, a reasonable price for such tasty food! I’d love to try that awesome looking 1 pound steak burger but, I fear missing out on the Ribeye.

    The people are so friendly. The food is excellent and the steak is grilled to perfection. The salad is fresh and the baked potato is well done. It has been a staple in the community for decades and deservedly so. The atmosphere is classic college town.

    A great steak to be sure! As most reviewers have said, you come to Zagreb for steak and that's about it. It was pretty good salad/dinner rolls, and our server was great! The wine list was vast and had a great selection. The steak was about as good as it could be, tender perfectly cooked (got mine rare, the Mrs got med rare) and it was pretty prompt. The bad comes in at the environment, the booth we were at had such flimsy backs that every time either person on either side of us would move in their seat it would slam into our backs and it definitely soured the experience a bit. We were seated on a wall with an exposed pipe and chipping paint all over, which is fine, but that combined with the old small seats was disheartening. The scene is Bloomington pride to a T, but you'd think a place that sells 45-$70 steaks would have a bit better infrastructure...

    As always, excellent experience at Little Zagreb. Have been coming here nearly 30 years, miss John Pouch so much. His attention to detail and passion for great, unpretentious steak and Eastern European comfort food lives on with his staff and in the magic grill. I am trying to engage my kids in this great restaurant and have them understand how luck Bloomington and Southern Indiana is to have this carnivore's delight live on for decades to come. Cheers to the staff for a great meal and patience with our 8 and 10 year old.

    Been to Janko’s a hand full of times - not for the ambiance, decor, or fine dining experience, but for the (only) star of the dinner (and price tag): the STEAK. One of the last remaining options in Bloomington for a great steak that isn’t a large chain. A little more expensive, but well worth the premium keeping it local. However, Janko’s missed the mark this time for us. The petite filet was charred well done when it should have been medium leading to nearly a $50 inedible slab of coal. HOWEVER (2nd twist) our server Katharine/Kate stole the show with her immediate attention and replacement of the entree. She prioritized the replacement and in less than 6-7 minutes a piping hot filet was back on the table. She handled it very well and asked that we let them do better by replacing the overcooked steak no questions asked, because she knew they (Janko’s) could do better - and we deserved exactly what we asked for / ordered. Her handling of the matter was so much more genuine (and a reminder of why we prefer Janko’s vs. a chain) than the cowboy/cowgirl servers who would have apologized 10 times across town. Fantastic service, Kate - and we’ll be back! Cheers.

    This is the first time at this restaurant. Was seated quickly and service was good. But the tables are so close, way to close together. Conversation are impossible because the table next to you is inches away. I most likely will not return
