The Blind Pig Kitchen

Too good to be true in Bloomsbury PA. The menu is created around local resources. Intimate, personal and 5 star menu.

Decent food, great variety on the menu. The wait staff was prompt and efficient . The tempo of the meal was well cadenced and the restaurant and rest rooms were clean and fresh.

A true diamond in a food desert, the Blind Pig excels from the chic farmhouse aesthetic to the pretty plate presentations where the menu is prepared in house from local farmers.

(They even have various events throughout the year where you can even meet their farmers!)

Charcuterie options are a nice conversation options, before the meal options. The menu is simple, but use of vegetables along with their deft of preparation create a harmonious flavor profile that has you wanting more. Beverage options include coffee, tea and local kombucha. NO soda which I love but you can BYOB!

I wouldn't say this one is the most child friendly, as the menu might be a bit different for picky palates who look for chicken tenders by default. It's perfect for a girls/boys or a date night or even to impress parents!

I don't really have a favorite, I love everything!

Four stars because I wish they'd extend their hours a bit for Sunday brunch...at least until 2 or 3.

Ample metered parking in back of restaurant.

Chef Toby and his wife Sarah have created a fantastic restaurant in the heart of Bloomsburg that I wish 1. was located closer to me and 2. I had dine here previously.

Atmosphere: Extremely Casual, Farm to Table, Farm/Country Atmosphere very suitable for the area with the idea of visiting a family member or a good friend's house for dinner/brunch. Mason Jars are filled with cold water that is enjoyable to have on a hot summer night. Fresh brewed teas served cold (or hot) can be provided for your enjoyment as well.

Menu: The menu updates at least once or twice per month that varies on the fresh and locally farmed (less than 65 miles from restaurant at most) vegetables, fruit, meat, etc. that is available and/or in season. Specials are posted on the chalkboard. Many items are grown on the farm of the owners/chef that they are very proud to produce and share with their guests at The Blind Pig Kitchen.

Food: Excellent, excellent, excellent. Duck Confit - out. of. this. world. I have had Duck Confit in Paris, St. Maartin, Napa Valley and many restaurants within the states - but Chef Toby's Duck Confit is best Duck Confit I have had in the states! For someone who has never had duck or Duck Confit, this is the place to try it. The food quality was outstanding and the creations were wonderful. The Strawberry Shortcake (forgot to take picture) was probably the BEST Strawberry Shortcake with homemade biscuit, homemade strawberry topping and homemade whipped cream I have ever had. I usually do not prefer the biscuit style, mainly because the biscuit tends to be too dry and brittle or too dense that the strawberries do not penetrate into the inside of the biscuit. This was perfectly made.

Service: Impeccable. The waitresses are very proud to work for such a wonderful restaurant, and you are treated like family - again, as if you were dining at the home of Owner/Chef Toby.

Side Notes: BYOB. Reservations recommended (although they do accept walk-ins). Parking is metered only (free on weekends) in the surrounding public parking lots. Stay up-to-date with their Facebook page with specials or menu updates.

I will DEFINITELY return and am excited to see this Farm to Table style restaurant in Bloomsburg producing and providing top quality dishes. Highly recommend.

Enjoy!

The Blind Pig is a hidden culinary gem in Bloomsburg, PA! I was visiting Danville for work and The Blind Pig was recommended by multiple people! After looking up this restaurant on Google, I was so enamored by their unique menu, especially their Weeds & Seeds Salad that I was dying to dine at this Farm to Table Restaurant. Thankfully, my sweet coworkers made my wish come true!

We were a large group of 8 and shared the:

1) Local Cheese Plate (Changes daily, we had Aged Cheddar, Starlight, St. Malachi, and the Black & Blue; $14)
2) Beets W/ Goat Cheese and Dill ($7)

The starters we ordered were all so delicious! Of the cheeses, my favorite was the St. Malachi. I've never tried this one before and it was so flavorful, a bit tender and nutty. You have to try this if you haven't yet! For myself, of course I had to order the Weeds & Seeds Salad (Wild Salad Mix, Sunflower Seeds, Pumpkin Seeds, Bee Pollen, Edible Blossoms, Honey Mustard Vinaigrette; $8). This salad was a dream, to say the least! Not only did it look beautiful, but it tasted amazing! It was unlike any salad I have ever tried before. I loved the light Honey Mustard Vinaigrette and the touch of Bee Pollen.

For my main dish, I ordered the Rainbow Trout (Trout Filets Dusted with Sumac and Pan Seared Topped with Vanilla Buerre Blanc and Red Raspberry Gastrique; $25) W/ Hot Greens and Cold Veggie as my two accompaniments. The trout was so delectable and unique. I loved the taste of the vanilla with the raspberry together, such complementary flavors! The Hot Greens and Cold Veggie were also really delicious.

For dessert I tried their Shiso-Basil Creme Brulee ($6). Can I just say, what a marvelous combo? I am obsessed with Shiso leaves, but have only had them with sashimi. Never have I seen it used in a dessert. This Creme Brulee just tasted so perfect that I wanted to order another one, but didn't want my coworkers to judge me haha.

The chef here is just so talented and the customer service was outstanding. The interior of the restaurant is so charming, a bit rustic and minimalistic and I loved the touch of fresh flavors at every table. Could not praise nor express my love for this restaurant more.

Thank you for such a lovely and unique experience The Blind Pig! I hope to dine here again one day!

This place freakin rules. The caprese salad was soooo good--four kinds of heirloom tomatoes, really really good balsamic vinegar, and flavorful fresh greens. The primavera pasta was special. I've never had pasta that tasted like it before--light and rich and unique. The sun-dried tomatoes in the primavera were like little pods of a completely different flavor that burst open to give you a temporary break from the pasta's flavor, and then you come back to the pasta and feel even more grateful for it. The shiitake mushrooms are great. The salmon was delicious, also--crisp and black-peppery.

And it all comes from farms/suppliers within 65 miles of the restaurant!!!

This restaurant was recommended to us while visiting family in Danville. We could not have been happier with our decision to go there!
LOVE that it's farm to table. The decor is adorable and our waitress, Christina, was so sweet.
There were three of us and we ordered:
- beets with goat cheese and deviled eggs for starters. The deviled eggs have salmon on top which is just the perfect addition.
- the scallop special, which came over a bed of thinly sliced cucumbers marinated in a sweet thai chili sauce
- the rabbit sandwich
- rainbow trout
- for dessert: the peppercorn creme brûlée and a cheese board

The food was incredible, with super fresh ingredients and excellent seasonings. You get to choose from 4 different sides; all fresh and local.
Definitely will be back- can't wait honestly! I'm also currently doing WW and this restaurant made it VERY easy to keep my points low! Extra bonus!

When we could eat out, I loved this place. I wasn't in the area often but everytime I was, I made it a point to eat at least one meal there.

Now I'm back long term and I ordered Friday night for delivery through GrubHub. I ordered in advance for 6pm delivery. The restaurant confirmed the order at 5:01pm, when their delivery window starts (only 5-7). At 6, delivery update was 6:10. At 6:10, got pushed again. Around 6:45 there was finally a delivery person assigned so I texted and asked what the ETA was. They were on their way to the restaurant.

5 min later, THAT'S BEFORE THE DELIVERY WINDOW FOR THE RESTAURANT WAS OVER, he texted back and said the restaurant was closed.

I'm trying to fathom how this place stays in business if this is how they treat customers. The thing is, I live 4 blocks away from the restaurant. If Blind Pig Kitchen had signed up to pick up service via Grub Hub, I would have picked it up. But they only let you do delivery. By then confirming my order, they indicated that they were there and going to make my damn food. I seriously don't they even bothered to make duck confit and then let it go to waste without even attempting to contact the person who paid for it.

I tried calling the restaurant after the delivery person texted me and it went to voicemail. I doubt I'll be calling them again. Thankfully, GrubHub was responsive and I got a full refund a few minutes later. Then I made a tuna fish sandwich.

We had been wanting to try this place out since hearing about it about a year ago but could never seem to fit it in to our hectic schedules. Decided to give it a go for our anniversary and we couldn't be happier with our choice. We love supporting locally owned businesses and this is a locally owned business that supports locally owned farms, so it's like killing 2 birds with 1 stone. Of course, this is only half of the equation. The food still has to measure up as well, and The Blind Pig absolutely killed it with our meal. We had the cheese plate and deviled pickled eggs for appetizers. I'm not the biggest cheese guy (unless it's on a sandwich or a pizza) and I don't remember the names of the various cheeses that were brought to us, but they were all really enjoyable. The deviled pickled eggs were incredible.

For our entrees, I had the duck and my girlfriend had the salmon. Both were cooked perfectly. Duck is one of my go to meals when I see it on a menu is this one probably ranks in my top 5 ever. I never expected a small town restaurant in Pennsyltucky to compete with some high end joints in Philly, NY, DC, LA, Seattle, etc, but their duck is right up there with the best of them. The service was also very good.

My only complaint is that the place is a little on the small side and feels a bit cramped. I couldn't get out of my seat without bumping into the person sitting at the table behind me...and vice versa. A little discomfort is a small price to pay for a delicious meal though.

The price is a bit on the high end for the area, but it's still far less than what you would pay in the city and the quality of the meal is on par, if not better than most comparable urban joints. We will definitely go back - hopefully a little more frequently than on our anniversary.

This place is amazing and I dont use that term lightly here. Love everything about them. The atmosphere as well as the food. Friendly staff too and the owner is a cool guy as well.
Id have to say they are tied with Turkey Hill for THE BEST FOOD BY FAR anywhere around here
