    The food quality is not where it needs to be. I remember this place being much better. Maybe just an off night.

    Always spectacular. I get here about every two years or so, just as spectacular as the first visit way back in the early 90s..

    We always enjoy our visits to Janko's. The food is outstanding and the service has always been above reproach. It is our favorite restaurant in Bloomington and is an institution in town. The prices provide good value and I love the wine list, which is also reasonably priced considering the quality of the wines.

    The steak, and particularly the filet, is outstanding. Seared to perfection with just the right amount of pink. It is easily the best steak I've had in Bloomington. The standard sides were pretty average (baked potato and house salad), not bad, and pretty standard for an old school steakhouse . The atmosphere is fun, casual and IU themed, and again reminded me of an old school steakhouse. The service was amazing, especially considering we were there Valentines weekend and the place was packed. We got seated quickly, and the server checked on us multiple times, and always made sure the drinks were topped off. Again, amazing considering how busy they were. Loved this place and I would highly recommend it.

    This was our first visit to Janko’s, being new to the area. We were looking for a good steakhouse to celebrate our anniversary. Janko’s hit the mark in food & service. Although atmosphere was more in line with a crowded sports bar it would not deter us from going again. Highly recommend reservations as it is obviously a VERY popular restaurant.
