Oh, my! Five stars are not enough! My husband and I say Janko's is a 5+++. We waited too long to try it! The food, service and atmosphere -- all wowed us. He ordered the 20-oz Ribeye and said it was the best Ribeye he's ever eaten (and he's had a lot of Ribeye experience). I enjoyed the pork chop dinner. It was the thickest, most tender, juiciest pork chop I've ever had! Both dinners were beautifully plated, and even the dinner rolls were delectable. Almost forgot -- one of the soup choices was Goulash, which was a flavorful delight. The servers (all women -- many dressed on-trend, which added to the vibe) seemed all to be attentive and cheery. Our table was across from the counter behind which is the grill where you can see the outstanding steaks and other meaty dishes being expertly prepared. The chef has a magic touch! Even the dinner rolls are warmed on the grill just before they're served. The overall atmosphere was comfortable, quaint, kind of supper-club-ish (have you been to Wisc?); yet the meals were definitely upscale. This was a moderately high-priced dinner ($97 for both of us + tip and without alcohol) that we'll save for special occasions, but it is definitely going on the top of our list when we're thinking of wonderful, extremely satisfying dining experiences. Long live Janko's Little Zagreb in Bloomington, IN!
Steakhouse with reasonable prices. Great spot after IU sporting events. Split a bottle of wine with friends.
Service was excellent, the meat balls had a little spice and were very good. we enjoyed the bread, tasted fresh. I got the filet and was cooked perfect, the baked potatoes was good. Butter and sour cream is the only option. The salad dressing are homemade. The score was the stuffed bell pepper. If you like stuffed bell peppers, not sure it gets any better. Only complaint is the salad is boring. Needs tomatoes, onion ring, maybe cucumber, croutons. But hell I'm complaining about a salad
As good as it gets. Perfect service and food. Our server was on top of her game. Meatballs were amazing as always. Split the NY steak and it was cooked perfectly and was delicious. Wine prices are great and we had a killer Merlot. All in all a great experience. Been coming here since the early 80's and it never disappoints. Keep it up. The service really makes it top notch.
This place has the preparation of a steak mastered. The tables are super close and it is rather "chatty" for this reason. It felt like an old neighborhood place that refuses to update to be trendy. We try to patronize Zagreb at least twice a year when family visits the alma mater.
Loved the comfy family vibe restaurant. Loud, cheerful conversations felt like a small restaurant in Europe with low cost tables chairs and decorations (IU themed of course) where they have obviously focused their attention is on sourcing their steaks and cooking expertise. With their Limited menu and decades of experience the food was outstanding. Meatballs, salads steak and potato's were cooked perfectly to order. They were able to clearly answer GF questions as well. Will be visiting again for amazing steak.
Awesome steakhouse. Every steak I've had here has been amazing. The menu is the perfect size and offers options for all but isn't overwhelming with options. They also have a great wine selection. Service was good. This restaurant can get pretty crowded during busy IU Weekends, but hey that's because it's just that good!
This. This is why I slowed my trip down and took a two day delay. I was told this steakhouse was worth it. And you know what? It absolutely is. A fancier restaurant with a high end feel, I was warmly welcomed despite my lack of reservation. I chose the sirloin and it was perfect. Cooked medium rare as requested, it was absolutely delicious and I love that my waitress was able to locate some horseradish to really bring out the flavor. The salad was very good, the baked potato was perfect. I opted against dessert because I was stuffed. This is a great spot to impress, whether a business meeting or a date or your parents coming to town for to visit you at University. Absolutely not cheap but well worth it.
