Jim's Steak House

Jim's has been an iconic restaurant in the Bloomington/Normal area for a very long time. It has never been updated, and that fact adds to the nostalgic charm of the place. It has a supper club feel to it. The tables have table cloths and a fresh candle on them. The service has been fairly consistent over the years, being pretty good, as the food is typically pretty good as well. They have a really nice piano bar with good bartenders, we typically try to arrive early and have a couple of drinks before our reservation. The place can be pretty busy on the weekend so I would recommend reservations. The floor plan is multi level and is not ADA compliant. We like the the place and definitely recommend it.

Best stake house in Bloomington/Normal, without a doubt! I have dinned here multiple times, it never disappoints. The cuts are excellent and grilled to a precise point. The ambience is cozy, relaxing and proper for a high end steakhouse. The service is fine, attentive and friendly. Alexis did a great job and made sure to check on how things were going through out the experience. They have also a nice bar and occasionally live piano music. This is the place to celebrate a special occasions, anniversaries, romantic dinners, or just to chill out and have a nice evening . Highly recommend it if you are looking for the best steakhouse in the area!

Forboding on the outside, pricey and delicious on the inside. I'd have rated it 5 stars except we weren't greeted at the side entrance when we arrived, the maitre'd wasn't wearing a mask once we tracked him down, and the washroom (see below). All the other wait staff were wearing a mask, however. Once seated, the service was great. Our waitress was attentive without being intrusive. Our coffee was kept warmed. The ambiance is dark wood with large paintings and crystal chandeliers. No windows. Fancy hunting lodge without dead animals? They were strangely skimpy on the rolls and butter. Also the choice was soup or salad, but for the price you should get both. I ordered the ribeye done medium. It arrived freshly cooked and done exactly right. The meat was trimmed well with enough fat that if you like fat it is there but easy to remove if not (what's wrong with you?). My beautiful wife got the steak kabobs. They were served on rice. The steak was like prime rib and nowhere near as flavorful as my ribeye. Her rice was too salty. The washrooms need a complete makeover. Only a little better than some gas stations I've been to. Service: 4 Food: 4.5 Price: 4 Overall 4 stars. Recommend if you want a steak dinner.
