"I absolutely love this place! The service and the food are amazing. This time, we tried a mix of dishes. My wife had the chicken and waffles, which were delicious with the syrup and butter. My mother-in-law tried the gluten-free cornmeal pancakes and said they were a flavor explosion. We had a reservation and had to wait a bit, but the restaurant surprised us with a cinnamon roll, which was next level! Don't miss out on Fort Jesse Cafe if you're in Bloomington-Normal. Another great experience today with great food and service. In my opinion, this is the best breakfast spot in the area. Whether you're in a rush or wanting to relax, they always have fantastic food options. I highly recommend...

Delicious as always! Reservations recommended on weekends. I had the buffalo chicken horseshoes (picture) and my wife had the Cajun skill. Both were very tasty and we had plenty left.

Oh my goodness, this restaurant was fantastic. We didn't think to make reservations beforehand, so we were a bit surprised when the host asked since it was a Monday morning and there were 10 of us, but the place was bustling the whole time we were there. We were seated immediately, but I would recommend making reservations just in case. My biscuit and chicken sandwich was absolutely delicious. Every dish we ordered was amazing and cooked to perfection. The staff was friendly and attentive. I've attached photos of the chicken and waffle, chicken and waffle Benedict, and two pictures of my chicken and biscuit sandwich.

"I really love to see this restaurant succeed with their lunch buffet and hope they can improve their buffet, mainly because they are clean (unlike Aroma Indian Restaurant food that always makes me sick), but their buffet has several issues. First the goods: clean, nice people, they have cucumber and they have goat on weekends buffet, and their Raita is based on good house made yogurt which is sour and good, not like store yogurt that is too smooth and sweet. Now the bads or what is lacking in the buffet: The buffet does not have any creativity, specifically there is no real vegetable in the buffet. And No, just because a dish does not have meat does not mean that dish is vegetarian! for example bread, white rice, or potato or corn or the so called vegetarian biryani that has nothing but rice and potato and corn or tofu are all plant based but they are not real vegetables, they are just pure starchy carbohydrates. Real vegetarian dishes which are absent here would be dishes made from for example eggplant, super healthy bitter gourd, zucchini, cauliflower, Gongura, cabbage, methi, squash, etc. And No, a pakora which is basically a tiny piece of some veggie coated in a thick starchy coating and then deep fried is not exactly a healthy vegetarian option either. The only thing that is vegetarian in their buffer is the Saag paneer which is made of spinach but spinach is really bad for people like me with kidney stone. So not being a fan of chicken or plain starch (rice or potato or bread) or spinach, and not seeing any real vegetarian dishes, I basically end up with only one thing (the goat on weekends) that I can have from their buffet. And sadly their goat also is too salty and not tasting that good. I also think a good Indian buffet should include chai masala and papad (the crunchy thin bread made from lentil flour) for people who try to avoid wheat based bread. Or even better lamb byrani would be a nice option. Bottom line I hope they decide to add some real vegetarian dishes and lamb because I like this restaurant and really want to support them but right now I just can't visit them too often."
