Well, I just found one of our new go to spots. Stop in here - it’s a must!!!! Annie was great and so was the crew on the smoker! I ordered two meat combo and it was a generous amount of food - you definitely get your money’s worth. Meat was amazing - flavorful and juicy. Complimented by amazing sides. I’m afraid this place won’t be a secret much longer!
I ordered the pulled pork sandwich which the meat was seasoned to perfectioned and smoked wonderfully and the mac and cheese was phenomenal!, I also got a piece of chocolate cake and it was divine!! The staff was incredible and the owners are very nice.I will be coming back again!!!
Great food and fantastic service. Chatted at the pitmasters when first came in and as we left after eating at a picnic table outside. Owner was there taking care of lunch for his employees with food from somewhere else. Nice touch and was a super nice and BBQ chatty owner. :)
The Brisket was very well smoked if a bit salty but I am fine with that. I thought it was brined first but was assured it was not. The chicken, pulled pork and ribs were all great as well with good smoke. The spicy sausage was really good. Too much for my wife but not insane to me but a very nice spice bite.
We got the green beans, baked beans and coleslaw as sides. The green beans were OK, nothing special to me. The baked beans were interesting. At first you get a "oh, this is a savory bean" and then the sweet comes in and it is an interesting play that finishes with a bit of heat on the back end but nothing crazy at all. With the slaw, if you like KFC's, you will like the flavor. This is a MUCH finer shred but the flavor is very similar.
Overall, great BBQ joint. Seating is just a couple picnic tables outside but that was enough for us even on a cool day. We live in Peoria but my wife will be coming to Bloomington monthly for quilting fabric and I can see this being the lunch stop quite often. :)
The food was so good that when we were walking back to the car after eating, my girlfriend and I had big cheesy smiles on our faces. We had the St. Louis style ribs and they were amazing! Loved the Mac and cheese as well. What made the experience even better was the great customer service, we really felt taken care of and had our food quickly after ordering.
I first discovered Annie's eats during the Covid shut-down. We were looking for local good places to support. Their service and professionalism was second to none. Recently we had them cater an event at my store and we received rave reviews. The food was hot, fresh and flavorful. The food and service was excellent !!!
Service is kinda slow for lunch time. You would think they would be ready. Lots of construction workers indicated food was excellent 👍
Always delicious food and excellent customer service. Everyone is super friendly and sweet every time I've been here. Special mention for their brandin' iron beans — it's absurdly good. My only disappointment this time was that I didn't see any employees wearing a mask, which was very surprising.
We ordered brisket, pork, and sausage for a holiday party and it was ready on time, hot, and delicious. Annie's Eats is a local gem.

OMGoodness!! The BBQ brisket sandwich was a slam dunk! The whole staff is very kind as well. I was lucky to be there when I was on a Saturday afternoon as it wasn't busy then. I'Il definitely be back. I LOVE small town BBQ!!

11/19/22 - SO GOOD! I got the rib tips. The sweet young man offered to substitute the fries for something else being I had a long drive home, knowing the fries would be soggy by the time I got home!
Best BBQ in town! Love the homemade sides. Cheesy potatoes are just like grannies. Loaded fries are amazing...queso is delicious....pulled pork is my favorite.
Really good pulled pork and brisket, that tastes just right! The meat was good and lean. The restaurant is conveniently located just off Clinton Street in Bloomington and well worth a try. Prices are a little above average. The employees were polite and courteous. We will be back.
My first time here. Had the brisket sandwich and potato salad.I shed a tear when I started eating, a tear of pure joy!!!! Best bar b que ever!!! Can’t wait to come back and try everything ❤️
