Came for dinner, away for anniversary weekend not far outside of town. Was really really loud. Food was good, but not really able to have good conversation without yelling. Wait staff was very eager to clear any dish they thought we might be done with. Actually tried to take my husband main meal plate that he wasn’t quite done with.

Took my son there to celebrate the end of his sophomore year at IU. Always a good experience for special events. Service was top notch. Steaks and potatoes well prepared. The booths have a lot of give in the back, so you can feel the person in the booth on the other side pushing against it. Those could do with an upgrade.

The food is always outstanding, but I am continually amazed at the service staff. It is a well-choreographed ballet of servers, bussers, and hostesses dancing past one another in the tight walkways. They are delightful and proactive almost to excess. You really cannot find any better service in Bloomington.

It was freezing in the restaurant. Server was nice but slow. However, we ordered 2 large filets and 3 small filets but we got 1 large filet and 4 small filets. You could tell the obvious difference. When we asked about it, server said no that’s a large too but it clearly wasn’t. I didn’t argue further as it wasn’t worth it to ruin the dinner with my college son.

I took my son and his 3 buddies for his birthday. Loved it!!! Place is super casual and the food came out very fast. The servers are extremely friendly and super attentive. We started with a large order of the spicy meatball appetizer and the grilled shrimp both amazing and both disappeared in seconds. I did have very hungry college boys with me. We decided to share a rack of ribs that comes out wrapped in foil and very saucy. This was probably our best decision. The ribs were fantastic, I was lucky to get one -lol. The boys also polished of three baskets of the yummy toasty bread they bring for the table. Everyone ordered a steak, two boys did the steak for two great value. They come with a simple side salad and a delicious baked potato. I had a burger that was fantastic. Everyone was too stuffed to order dessert but our waitress brought out a free slice of a delicious cheesecake for the birthday boy. All the boys and myself agreed it was their best meal ever in Bloomington.

If you're looking for steakhouse in btown, then you've found your place. Best steaks around, excellent apps (esp meatballs Bucharest), chill atmosphere and if you're lucky you may see players from Indiana Hoosiers' basketball team or perhaps john mellencamp (like we did last visit)...

My son is in graduate school at IU so we go to Janko’s every chance I got. Food is always superb and consistently delicious. My son and I as we travel have eaten at almost every top ranked steakhouse in the country. And I must say Janko’s is still at the top of our list. Service is always good. We sat under the a/c vent this time so we were freezing. But surprisingly it kicked off right when our food arrived. I’ve tried every steak on the menu and they get it right every time!

A Bloomington must - maybe. Food was good but nothing special. Food took a while to come out. Waitress was not very attentive but at least there were assistants around to fill water glasses.
