<p>My H is going to visit our freshman D October 23-25 on his way to a business trip in New York. Btown is fully booked because it's the weekend of the Hilly 100. I managed to get one of the last hotel rooms, but it prompted me to think I'd better get restaurant reservations too since there will be a lot of hungry bikers in town. D says she misses a good steak most of all. Any recommendations of a restaurant with good steaks in the downtown area? They're looking for a fun, lively environment rather than a quiet, fancy type of place. Thanks!</p>
<p>For steaks most would suggest Janko’s Little Zegrebs. Be forewarned it is not a posh place. Tight tables and it will likely be packed. This is a longtime favorite in Bloomington.</p>
<p>I’ll second Janko’s. Certainly not fancy, but S and H both had steaks and thought they were great.</p>
<p>A third vote for Janko’s. Do warn them though that the service can sometimes be incredibly slow.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone for the Janko’s recommendation. H and D went last night for a juicy steak and it was just what the doctor ordered.</p>
<p>I’m glad they liked it. We were in Bloomington this weekend to visit my son and deliver warm clothes. We had a great dinner at La Charreada, a Mexican restaurant on Walnut. The food was delicious, the decor is nice, and the service was really fast and attentive, even with a full house. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for Mexican food near IUB.</p>
