Green Gables Bar and Grill

About

Green Gables is located at Lake Bloomington. We are a bar, restaurant, and grocery store. We are known for having the best burgers!

Description

Green Gables was built in 1929 and quickly became "The Resort Capital of the World." This little business became so popular the City of Bloomington built a water supply, Lake Bloomington, to accommodate the gathering horde. Shortly after the lake was built the city began leasing lots to capitalize on the "Green Gable Phenomenon." The lots were quickly gobbled up by people building summer vacation cabins as close to the action as possible. The lake grew to capacity with cabins turning into year round houses worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Green Gables expanded 25 times forcing the city to build yet another lake, Evergreen, and bring in Diamond Star (now known as Mitsubishi) to handle the masses. The city has now granted us an endless supply of water by tapping the Mackinaw River.

Green Gables, Where people meet, eat, and have good times!

Reviews
I had the tenderloin sandwich, my son had a bacon cheeseburger. 1 cook, 1 waitress. A little crowded. The food took about 20mins and it was delicious! Melissa was really nice. The folk's that give this place a bad review, probably just had a bad day.
Probably one of the best "fast food" type burgers available. Atmosphere is very casual. Frequented by locals and by those spending a day at the lake. This place is half grocery store and half bar and grill. Definitely a "dive" bar feel - in a good way. There's a small bar top, along with booth and table seating. Things to know: Seat yourself, pay at the counter, and cash only. They do have an ATM available. There is a pool table and some coin operated video games. Very small venue. They have domestic beers and a lot of fried fare: mushrooms, cauliflower, corn nuggets, fries, onion rings, cheese balls, cheese sticks. Staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is laid back. This time we went on a Sunday afternoon around 1 pm and it did get a little busy with almost all tables filled, and serviced slowed due to low staffing. But, all in all, service was still pretty quick.
Could not ask for a better double cheeseburger, onion rings, and beer. Service was fantastic. Five star all the way!
This epitomizes "hole-in-the-wall." It is off the beaten path no cell phone coverage inside but well worth it!! It is no frills with basic burgers that are greasy and tasty. Be warned: they only accept cash. And if you go in the summer time, it may take a while to get your burger as they only have a small grill. Also be warned: they use peanut oil for their fried foods.
Great local dive bar and burger place with good cheese balls
Been going here since I was a kid and out of all the burgers I’ve had at bar & grills, Green Gables has some of the best. Simple, no frills...Just really good food. You certainly won’t go home hungry after eating here. Excited for their new burger challenge as well. I’ll definitely have to take it on the next time I eat out there. If you’re looking for a local food joint with friendly staff to sit down and have a good, filling meal, then I highly recommend stopping here.
Great double cheeseburger! Fatty but sooo good
Great service, nice small town atmosphere. The best pepper Jack cheese balls, ever! Good cheeseburgers. My kids are very picky eaters they will patiently await for a table!
Cash only, this place is a local favourite. Not a very big place so try to avoid peak hours like lunch.
8/2021 UPDATE: Cheeseburger as good as ever, service was WAY better than previous years, all employees working together is great to see. And we STILL love coming here for a great cheesburger & Fries and cold beer. Way to go -- new owners? ---------------- I love coming to this place to have a cheeseburger, beer, and fries. The pricing is great as is the food. The hit and miss is the service. During the week, seems like slow times, there is a waitress that is slower than molasses and can't remember to bring you a drink with your order, or completely ignores you when your sitting in a booth. On the W/E's there are way better servers, that jump right in and help. I'm guessing that during the week, the owners daughter works there and doesn't have the customer service attitude that the real workers do. I hope the kids never take over this place, because they will go out of business from poor service.
