The best place to go hungover Feb 4th, 2005
I think Ladymans Cafe is by far the best place to go for breakfast. I service isn't the best but nothing can beat their biscuits and gravy. For only 5.57 you can walk out full and not feel like crap from all the alcohol you drank the night before at Nick's Pub. I don't really recomend the coffee however, it is always watery.

Mel' Diner Comes to Bloomington Jul 9th, 2001
This long-time Bloomington restaurant situated in the heart of downtown Bloomington looks like the city was built around it.

When you go inside, you'll notice that it looks like not much has changed in the last 40 or 50 years -- at least not inside Ladyman's.

The customers range from greasy blue-collar workers to $1500 suits. The service is...ahhhhh, what do you expect from a diner? But it's not TERRIBLE. The food is GOOD though. They have some of the best fried chicken I've ever had -- when they make it. It's one of their "special" dishes not on the regular menu.

They serve up hot Manhattan sandwiches, mashed potatoes, beef and gravy sandwiches, burgers, fries, polishes and a REALLY good chicken Manhattan. They have several pies for dessert.

They also serve breakfast all day long. They are open from about 6 or 7am til about 4pm. They mainly cater to the downtown crowd.

The biggest downside to this restaurant is the SMOKING! When you walk in, you are in the smoking section. The non-smoking section is in another room, BUT the ventilation is not very good. If you have allergies or sensitivity to cigarette smoke (as I do), you might want to be wary of the lack of clean air. Some days it's better than others.

The food is pretty cheap and plentiful. The average price that I paid for lunch is about $5-6. Considering that I usually got an entree with two sides and a drink, that's not bad.

This place is the real deal. No fancy furniture, menus, dishes, waitresses ... nuthin' ... just good food served reasonably fast. You can be in and out in 45 minutes. Possibly faster if you eat faster than me.
