About
B'Town Diner is a cozy, laid-back eatery that serves classic comfort dishes from morning till night. Situated near Brothers, it's the ideal spot for satisfying late-night cravings. The menu features a range of options, including eggs, biscuits, burgers, and more. One standout dish is their irresistible mac and cheese that hits the spot even during those late-night munchies. Despite being short-staffed, the lone waitress/hostess efficiently handled customers' needs and ensured quick service.
Why you should go
- Indulge in unique breakfast items like Zucchini Potato Pancakes and Vegan Hippy Hash
- Enjoy classic American breakfast favorites with a twist such as Nutella and Banana Stuffed French Toast
- Savor savory lunch options like Beef Manhattan or Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich

Just left. Country fried steak was delicious as was the gravy. Service was efficient and friendly. Since I started working in Bloomington a month ago I’ve been trying all restaurants in walking distance. B- Town is now on my list of places for a good lunch.
Was there for lunch and an excellent Beef Manhattan: reasonably proportioned, not too much bread and mashed potatoes, good meat and a savoury, nicely-peppered gravy. Really good value!
Amazing service. My husband called ahead and ordered take out, the employee said he was slammed and couldn't do it at the order because he was the only one working . Husband explained it was for me and that this was a pregnancy craving and he drove 3 hours to get me the decadent Mac and cheese. (Among also visiting IU). The employee agreed to make it for me and I appreciated it so much I wanted to leave a great review. Thank you so much for going out of your way when you didn't have to.

I stopped in for a late breakfast while in town recently. It was wasn't too busy when I was there mid-morning on a summer Friday. The staff was friendly and attentive. I ordered the Nutella and banana stuffed french toast, hashbrowns and bacon. It was delicious! The coffee was hot and also had a great flavor.
Stopped in for a quick bite after visiting our daughter on our way back to South Bend. Loved everything about this place. I had the Beef Manhattan. Excellent flavor since the gravy was peppery, which is exactly how I like it. I also tried my wife's Decadent Mac&Cheese. Creamy goodness with a bit of a kick. We will be back next time we're in town!
