    An excellent place to have breakfast. Pancakes are enormous and very delicious, try them with fresh fruit. 😋👌🏻🥓🥞🍳

    Great breakfast food & great deli sandwiches too! Had an incredible tuna melt there. Decently priced, worth every penny. Sometimes a wait, but usually not too bad because its worth the wait too.

    Spinach Scramble and Power Breakfast with HUGE pancakes are staples. Granola rocks. Fresh, local ingredients. A must stop!

    The Norwegian is amazing (lox English muffin topped with eggs hollandaise). Nananutella pancakes are a bit lacking in "nana"

    Try the Pancake - The famous, gi-normous pancake from Village Deli. A B-town classic!Also available with fruit, chocolate chips and more!

    I go here every time I come to track meet and basketball and then go to Colts game in the big city - makes me weep sweet lemon drop tears

    Wish I would have ordered breakfast instead of lunch. Pancakes at table next to me look fantastic. And HUGE! Lunch was good too. ;P

    Skip the lunch menu and go straight for the breakfast. Everything you could want in a breakfast. Eggs, giant pancakes, slightly greasy and addictive hashbrowns. Hangover cure.

    It's not on the menu, but you can Paxtonize any dish that has a side of potatoes for about $2.

    A Bloomington tradition, but really not worth the lines. Come here really early or a bit late during the weekends.

    Paxton potatoes are good! Wait for food was 12 minutes with a packed house for Easter Sunday Brunch. Great job on service.

    My breakfast pick: HUGE pancakes. One chocolate chip pancake and coffee is perfect for me. My lunch pick: Dave's Veggie Burger Deluxe is great, cheese fries are killer.

    The new Eggs Benedict is delicious! And they give you plenty of hollandaise sauce.

    A B-town favorite, especially for breakfast. The pancakes are gigantic and the biscuits and gravy are a classic.

    In the summer, try and avoid tables where the air vents are under them. Your legs will freeze. If you get stuck there, a good hack is to take one of the menus and cover it.

    Probably it was the worst cajun chicken breast sandwich I had ever eaten. Tasted like mold or soil. Bıt definitely it tasted wrong. We ordered three other kinds of sands and the others liked them.
