“A friend brought me here for the first time, specifically for the pot roast dishes. I had the Flatbread and it is delicious! It is a bar, and has limited space, but for 2 of us at lunchtime we had the whole back room that was quiet. Cici was super nice and attentive. We very much enjoyed our visit.“
“The only reason I’m leaving a 4 is because of the ladies restroom. Plenty of soap, no paper towel, and the air dryer was not up to par. There’s a slip and fall risk because of where the sink is in relation to where the hand dryer is. Lots of water on the floor, and the floor is slick. Otherwise, the food was great, and our server was amazing, I think her name was Tiffany. Great menu suggestions and very personable! I’ll definitely be back!“
“I love this place! The chicken Marsala is incredible! We also had eggplant roll acting as an appetizer, linguine with clams,gnocchi and manicotti! All great and we all have dinner for tomorrow! Service is great and always like talking to the owner, who makes you feel like you are his personal guests! Only suggestion for improvement is to assign the waitstaff to one area! This happened last time too. The servers are running all over! Be a little kinder to them. They work so hard!“
“Darrin @ Calumet City was a phenomenal waiter. My husband and I had never dined at Denny’s before but with vast knowledge of the menu and drinks and personality combined. We not only left saited but also was able to meet an interesting person. So, if you are ever in the neighborhood, go to Denny’s and ask for Darrin!!“
“I've been here with some friends a couple of times and they don't disappoint. The service is great, the bartenders are really good, the food is really good and it gets a bit crowded but you never feel closed in. The outside accommodation was comfortable even when it was cold out, and the lower level option was great since we had a few more people. I was missing an item and called to explain the situation and they fixed it right away, no hassle or complications. We will definitely be back for our monthly get togethers!!!“
“Another great spot near Hammond Marina! Genuinely friendly service & hospitality- Serbian style! Old-school, charming atmosphere. Good food & drinks. An unexpected treat! You should definitely check out this spot if you are in the area. I will definitely be back.“
“Our first time there. Waitress, Lisa was very pleasant and engaging. I ordered the Back of the Yards skillet... Very good! My wife ordered a bacon/cheese omelette... She was also very satisfied! Opens at 6 am. Very clean and lit well. Saw a group of 9 local police officers there having breakfast together... Nice to see them enjoying a meal as a group! Highly recommended! And ask for Lisa!“
“I love coming here, the people are so nice. The food is made with good quality, fresh ingredients. I just recently ordered the Pilich Salad, and it was wonderful. Chicken and bacon cooked perfectly. I'm drooling, still thinking about that house dressing. Mmmm, I'll be back.“
“First timer as of yesterday . Food was really good I had the 3 meat fajita bowl (dine-in) food was cooked to order. Fresh and hot when served. The cook and cashier were polite and friendly. Dont get that anymore from other restaurants .The place was nice and clean really don't see that at most places . Will come back to try other items on the menu and will tell everyone when in town .Small family business ready to grow it's 2024 people prices are going up stop being cheap when you order out. Bet you don't even tip. All they need to do is get a bigger sign outside for drivers to see from afar.“

“Ordered a small thin crust from uber eats juss being lazy & not expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. Pizza sauce is very tasty, wish I had ordered it on the side for dipping my pizza in. Just the right amount of crisp in the crust and it was cooked Just how I like it. I will definitely order from here again. The only thing I didn't like was that my pizza wasn't sealed in any type of way to prevent it from being tampered with while it was being delivered. Maybe perhaps some stickers to prevent the box from being open, or put the pizza in a paper bag then staple it up at the end. Otherwise very good pizza.“
“Excellent place for home cooked food. We had liver and onions. None better. The woman who serves and greets was a joy. Her concern for the patrons went beyond serving. I can see why it is a draw. Inside is definitely not modern, but so what. They knew so many people by name and "the usual". Next time I will try breakfast.“
“Step into El Paso Grill and get ready for a flavor fiesta fit for a king! With a menu as big as your appetite and the juiciest burgers in Lake County, every visit promises a mouthwatering adventure.From the first bite of their tempting tacos to the heavenly experience of their signature burgers, each dish is a harmonious blend of Mexican and American flavors that'll make your taste buds sing with joy. Crafted with love and skill, every meal at El Paso Grill is a culinary escapade you won't want to miss.So, if you're craving a taste of Mexico meets America that's truly top-notch, El Paso Grill is the place to be!“
“Being of eastern European discent, I ate stuff cabbage almost every Sunday. I am very picky about it cause I compare it to my mom's. Well, Big Frank's was just as good or I hate to say this, even better! Killer Holubky as the Slovaks call it! I love fresh Polish Sausage, which theirs was really good, with a lot of garlic. Great Food!“
“Doc's is the kind of place where you've got people from out of town in, and they want BBQ. And you want a huge variety of tap craft beers . Or you want to go there just for the beer. Surprisingly, they also have a huge whiskey selection as well. Oh, the BBQ, very good. Pig wings are flash fried smoked wings. They are fantastic. Everything else is wonderful, brisket, pulled pork and the sides. All at a reasonable price. Service.... Staff is very knowledgeable, especially the bartender who knows a thing or two about the liquor he serves. Great place ??“
“We eat here weekly. The pizza is the best in the Southland. The bar has a "Cheers" vibe where all are welcome. Pizza is half off on Tuesday and every one in town knows that's the best dinner option! Don't take my word for it, you really must try it out!“
“Wonderful low-key place with great food and even better service! The chicken and Chicago dog did not disappoint and the prices can't be beat. Just make sure to bring cash as it's cash-only. The couple that owns/operates it is seriously the sweetest!“
“De Mar's in Blue Island, IL is a must-visit for anyone in the mood for classic American diner fare. The restaurant has a cozy, old-school feel that instantly transports you to a simpler time. Every time I sit down in a booth it makes me feel like i can talk about nothing, (a Seinfeld reference). The menu is full of classic diner dishes, from hearty breakfast options to juicy burgers and sandwiches to homemade soups and salads. I particularly enjoyed the Tuna melt, which was perfectly put together with just the right amount of cheese and tune on white bread. The French toast was also excellent, with a soft and fluffy texture that melted in my mouth. But if you want the traditional, just order the all American breakfast, 2 sunny side up eggs with hash browns and two slices of bread, along with a cup of coffee. Everything is delicious. The staff at De Mar's are friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. They were quick to offer suggestions on what to order and were always on hand to refill drinks or answer any questions. The restaurant itself is clean and well-maintained, with a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you want to stay for hours. There is plenty of seating, so you won't have to wait long to be seated, and the prices are reasonable for the quality of the food and service. Overall, I highly recommend De Mar's to anyone looking for a traditional American diner experience. So if you are in the area of Blue Island this restaurant It's a gem, that I plan on returning to in the future.“
“Really a hidden gem. Everything is excellent. Limited hours and limited days open are really the only downside here. I'd recommend making a reservation in advance, but they are very accommodating if they have room. Good value for the service and quality, but not "cheap". Had the surf and turf this time, and the lobster was great. Something on the menu for everyone.“
“We have ordered turkey burgers with sweet potato fries for several consecutive weeks, and each time we have not been disappointed.In addition, today we ordered the fish taco platter, the rail splitting pasta, and the white bean chicken chili. Our meals were delicious. Seasoned just right. Everything was fresh, tasty and we had plenty to eat.More importantly, the hostesses at the front desk (“Grace,” “Lyric,” and the beautiful lady with the reddish below-the-shoulder-length hair were all professional, pleasant and kind.Well done to all. Thank you.“
“Very friendly staff, Lulu was as sweet as can be! I very much appreciate a server who is so genuine and attentive. In general the food options are pretty good, but - I have many friends who are vegan or vegetarian. It's hard to find a place that offers any unique options for them Having a disappointed friend always detracts from a lunch date (A soup or another cooked veggie option would be surprising and delightful!).They were also out of the poppyseed dressing that really makes the salad it's for, that was another 2 friends slightly disappointed. We all did enjoy the tea options! Please get some more peach in stock soon :)Vegetarian options: There is a veggie wrap, does have feta cheese and ranch. It would be really nice to see a few more vegetarian/ vegan options, veggie wraps seem like the default option for every restaurant.“
“BEST shrimp in town, state, country, actually, quite possibly,, the best shrimp on the planet!! Bob's Lake Perch are off the chain as well!!....And you know this.........the sauce, mild and hot is the perfect compliment. Only complaint I have is,.....after trying Bob's, you won't want anyone else's shrimp, not even close. Don't ever change a thing!!!.....Thank you all, from a loyal Mill Electrician,....Trucker Jon, of I.B.E.W. local 697.“
“Very cool environment, just went there before Christmas with work buddies. Tara was our bartender, she was a great time & took care of all our needs. Annie was another bartender there that was super social & absolutely awesome to talk to. I'd highly recommend this place for a great social experience & high energy good time!“
“Phenomenal staff, best steak I've had in ages (they actually know how to do a proper medium; a vanishing feat these days, completely melts in your mouth). Italian Beef sliders were delicious and disappeared in about 30 seconds. Brought the crab cakes, wedge salad and grilled salmon back for my wife and they were all gone in about 10 minutes despite feeding a fussy baby at the same time. The butterscotch espresso martini is a decadent treat you can't skip. My only critiques are that as a whole, the prices are a bit steep, the space is small and probably not great for a large group, and the tomatoes in the Caprese were disappointingly bland. But if you're looking to spoil yourself and/or someone close to you, this is an excellent venue for it.“
“Our server this evening was absolutely wonderful! She was the only bartender and waitresses. She was a Rockstar! Not only did she provide great service to us. She was amazing with all the other guests. She had a full bar and about 8 tables. We had a wonderful evening!“
“Just ate here not long ago and I LOVED the food! I had the chicken strips and seasoned curly fries. The decorations were nice too! It wasn't to bright and flash or too dark and boring, it was perfectly lit and had great tv channels and music! The staff was also VERY kind! Hope to eat here again some time.“
“AMAZING! I attended a 50th birthday celebration on Sunday. Staff was very kind and accommodating at Kasey's. Erin was the hostess the absolute best! We really enjoyed the food chicken, beef and Italian sausage ? with mashed potatoes, green beans and corn delicious! Ms Deb, Mike and the entire staff we just wanted to thank you for making our event such a success! It was great doing business with you! Keep the kind spirit and we wish you a very blessed year!“
“I love this place! They are always very friendly when we come in and it's never super busy. Their food is reasonably priced and it tastes delicious. My current favorite menu item is their burger and fries. It's always so fresh and the fries are so crispy. My partner always gets their tacos and they love them! They always come with so much food it's like getting a second meal for later. I also love seeing all of the specials they post on their Facebook page. They update it frequently with their offerings and I love seeing the new stuff they bring to the menu.“
“I recently went to Richway Gyros after having a terrible experience at another hotdog place down the road in Chicago. So glad I found this place. The food is delicious and the customer service is awesome! Kudos to the staff. They know how to treat customers with respect! The prices are reasonable. What’s even better is that the offer a rewards program. I will definitely be back!“
“We have never been here before and was trying someplace new. We enjoyed it and would go again the next time we were inIndiana. My husband had Apple Pancakes which is not what he wanted, he said the Apple Pancake which is baked in the oven. We waited a minute which is fine because that particular pancake takes about 40 minutes and then to see that all he got wA regular pancakes with apples om top, couldn't understand the wait time. He was too hungry to wait for her to redo the order so he said it was fine and just ate it. I had steak skillet which was tasty as well. I had to add salt, it needed some flavor and it was supposed to have Bleu Cheese crumbles in it but I didn't see or taste much cheese.“
“Nicest service at a fast food joint I've ever had.I got the Swiss melt (double) it was good. The wrapper was greased out (3min) after I got it. Could have been less butter more grill.The walleye sandwich though...no thanks. Lacking any flavour.Fries are always best fresh from culvers and these didn't disappoint. Best thing in the bunch!“
“It was my first visit and I must say it actually exceeded my expectations. It really is your typical neighborhood bar/restaurant. Food portions were generous and the prices extremely Fair. Well it was Friday and we decided to have the Lake Perch, people were talking about how good the chicken was so I intend to go back and try it. We came over from Munster Indiana so it was definitely a little bit out of the way but certainly enjoyable and worth the trip. Met the owner who also seem like a very nice fellow.“
“We love Brewhouse and visit at least a couple times per month. They rotate their drink menu, there are always good local options (e.g., IPAs, Stouts, Lagers, Sours, Ciders), and they have a nice outdoor seating area that can be used during the warmer months. The bartenders are nice and playful and their food menu includes some clearly identified vegan options. They also have a couple of old arcade games you can play for free and have a bingo night, which is fun.“
“The customer service is very good greeted at the door. The food is phenomenal everything is fresh the sauces compliment the plates perfectly and the atmosphere is relaxing had the smash burger and my wife had the blackened cod tacos no leftovers due to everything being eaten at the restaurant definitely will be going back “
“I was totally shocked by how well kept this restaurant has remained post the pandemic. The food was great. My well-done steak was actually well done and not pink on the inside. The seasoning used on the corn and green beans was delicious! Keep up the good work: I'll be back!“
“It is definately a hidden gem in east chicago. Food was prepared to perfection. Savory and portions were good. Service was amazing and the decor was very relaxing. Had a great experience. Highly recommendParking: Parking limited but understandable... main street“
“Great Bar, great owners and great bartenders!! As for James Suefert’s review, I have been in the bar three times you were, and let me explain, the first time you fell asleep at the bar, the second time you tried to walk away with the Family Fued workers phone and the third time you propositioned one of the bartenders in the worst way. I can understand if you feel your service was below service, it’s you!!!!“
“Great experience server Sabrina awsome, steaks cooked to perfection, shrimp lobster showder a must try if you like seafood, the Tonion onion peddles with dipping sause deliciousness, spicy chicken bits Wow, my NY strip was tender well seasond, recommend you try this place if have not already, I will be back ?“
“I did a pick up order from here and the food was pretty tasty! I ordered a smoked skillet and it was really tasty and my cousin had the Gypsy skillet. The service was fairly quick I ordered and picked up with 20 minutes. The inside is really nice, I will definitely be revisiting to sit down and order more food“
“Breakfast dishes are pretty good, Mexican entrees could be better. Big place with lots of room to breathe. Their veggie skillet is very good. It's basically hashbrowns with chopped veggies, but it has an excellent flavor. My grandson insists on us coming here because he loves their chocolate chip mickey mouse pancakes. But he also really likes their chicken tenders. Their fries have great texture, but they taste like they were cooked in bad fry oil. My daughter likes their chilaquiles. I would say they are good, but I've had better. They overcook the bacon till its almost burned ( every time...its weird).“
“This place is hands down one of my favorites. The owners are so nice and friendly. The food took a little bit of time to get to me but it was so worth the wait! Thank you for the amazing food and the great conversation! I had a steak and chicken potato and it was delicious!“
“This place is tops!!! Absolutely great food in a hole in the wall bar. It has a "bar" vibe, but don't let that dissuade you. We will even bring our kids here during the day. My favorite item is the flame burger, made as a chicken sandwich (you can substitute chicken for burger), with fries and ranch. Would often come here for date nights and would also get carry out anytime I was in the area. It's just delicious food. They will also do some seasonal cocktails, which are fun to try, and always have good prices.“
“This was first time here. It was definitely a vibe and the peach mango slush was so fyeeeee it had just enough alcohol not too much and have you groovin. The music was nice too and service okay otherwise it would've been 5 stars. In so many instances once we were done with the drinkwe felt rushed we still had the platter left to eat but decided to just go instead. I am now looking at my receipt and there is a tip automatically added even though they have a cash jar Beware! I don't live close and if I come back it's for the Peach Mango Slush. I would strongly suggest a sign no outside food unless it's a live event and if there is a table time limit let your patrons know ahead. It wasn't crowded and we hadn't seen each other since my car crash a few months back during the ice and snow so we just wanted to chill but left because the vibe was killed by waiter. You know when your no longer welcome and we got the hint and left. Beautiful Establishment and colorsJust be nicer to your guests overall this is a business!“
“This is a hip spot with good food and drink. Had a good time on a Saturday night with live music. All of the people that work there were very friendly. The buffalo shrimp were a nice size and fried well. The spinach and artichoke dip was decent. Wife had the salmon with mac n cheese. I had the blackened catfish with asparagus. I enjoyed the catfish but it didn't have that crisp on it like other blackened catfish I've had before. The asparagus were cooked perfectly. Ended the evening with the delicious sticky toffee cake. It had a really nice texture and good sauce.“

There's plenty of parking, friendly faces, chances to play music, dance and enjoy music, as well. Come check the place out for yourself. You will not be disappointed - nor do you have to only choose from beer or wine on a Wednesday!Parking: There is plenty of parking. Please do not drive home drunk!Kid-friendliness: This is a bar - not a place for children - however, if you come in early enough, you'll find the staff will kindly accommodate minors with their parents who are looking for something good to eat!Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp so wheelchairs are able to access the tavern as well as wheelchair friendly tables!“
“Visiting the area and family wanted us to try their brews as one of their favorites. Tried a flight of 10 beers and favs were Tangerine Trackstar, Toxic Words, Lucifer in a haze, Immoveable King, Nuban overlord and the top one Here comes the reaper. We also had the Pretzel and queso for snacks. They were very good and fast. They also had ice tea which is not always available at breweries. I will say the art work gave me pause and some of the names being a Christian but I don't know the background to comment.“
“So I visited the area for spring break and was taken to this restaurant by my Son and his Wife on March 18, 2024. I was very pleased with the ambiance. It's an intimate restaurant with a small waiting area that leads out to the eating entrance that has at least 10 tables ranging from 2 to 4 seats, two restrooms, drinking station used by the employees and the cooking area. The Waitress was pleasant and experienced. The presentation of each dish was mouthwatering as you can see. The taste was very much to my liking and seasoning to a minimum as it should be. The amount of food you get for the price is definitely feasible. Yes, you get your monies worth! The Cook that day was on point and delivered! He needs his own tip jar! The way he made the hashbrowns are unique with this mashed/hashbrown taste that melts in your mouth. My omelet was loaded with spinach, I definitely took in my daily dosage of Vitamin C for that day. Freshness and not overcooked was also key. Restaurants like this are fading away in St. Louis City and we need to "Bring Back America" with this here. In my Arnold Schwarzenegger voice, "I will be back".“
“This place is slightly off the beaten path and has a great atmosphere. I love they have a room for cocktails with a small limited menu. You can see the brewery behind the partition window. They also have a second dining area for family and fellow beer drinkers with a bar and kitchen. I'm not a beer drinker at all but the candi crushable and the hazy reign was tasty but had a bit of a strong beer aftertaste.We enjoyed the light and airy cheese curds that tasted like a great-quality mozzarella. Now let's discuss the star of the show which is the Pozole ?? my god it was so delicious. I loved the assortments that come with it. Cabbage, corn chips, and limes. And our wonderful and extraordinary waitress Ms. Megan was so informative and such a kind spirit. Make sure you ask for her!“
“The pancakes are amazing! Never had such great tasting food! The hash browns and bacon were on point. I ordered crispy and they came out to perfection not burnt or soggy. The strawberries were so fresh and the coffee also had great taste no after taste or old taste. The servers were super friendly and polite. Super fast service. Over all amazing totally recommend it! The prices are very reasonable and the proportions are very well calculated.Parking: Right in front“
“30+ but great chill place. I love Trina the bartender she makes the best drinks and is very nice. Booby are also very nice and welcoming. The owner is always at the door with security to make sure u get checked and pay it's kind of annoying. I have to pay 1 security guard get felt up and searched by the next then make sure the owner is ok with it. I'm not going to see the president, trust your security and move out the way“
“Food was excellent - I highly recommend the fresh fruit crepes. My hubby had a great skillet. Services's was the best- quick, accurate, pleasant. We had t been here since the expansion. Price was very competitive with surrounding competitors.“
