Great Food!“

“My co-workers and I stopped by this establishment today for lunch. Walked in to some really nice decor! Very clean also! Lunch time menu doesn't have a lot of options but the choice were definitely good ones! I went with the chicken tips! When I tell you this was the best bbq I've ever tasted! The chicken was seasoned so good! Some places put all the flavor into the sauce and forget to season the meat but not the Woodlawn! I was truly impressed! Cashier was very polite and food came out hot and in a timely fashion! There's also an amazing smoothie shop inside!“

“What a hidden gem this place is!! I’m so glad I discovered it when I was apart of the Wickedly Whiting fest. I had the Tamarindo Ice Cream… soooo good! I can’t wait to go back and try the other unique flavors! Maria the owner is an absolute doll too. If you’re in the area do yourself a favor and stop in for unique ice cream and more!“

“I love this place! I live 90 min away and come to Indiana for work sometimes. I never mind if I get to eat here. I finally got to take my husband. I was a little nervous bc he has high standards. He LOVED it. We devoured our calzones and he couldn't stop talking about it. The crust is just incredible. You just gotta try it! Fun atmosphere and friendly staff is an added bonus.“

“The food was amazing. Haven’t heard about this restaurant until few days ago, so I had to try it. The food was amazing; great service and I love they serve the community! This is NOW one of my favorite spots!“

“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!“

“Amazing food and service Alejandra, my bartender is amazing!! Everyone should have this experience“

“Come in, sit anywhere, and prepare yourself if you plan to get lunch. It can be a lot.I was full-on ready for some French Toast, when I watched the waitress bring a Spaghetti and Meatballs by that totally flipped my decision. It was sweet misery. ? will be back!Old school café.“

“Have been eating here for years! The food is always spot on, full bar, GREAT service always!!!! Highly recommend!“

“Fun drink choices and a cozy atmosphere topped with delicious food makes for a great experience.“

“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.“

“An Olive Garden is an Olive Garden. Admittedly, if you're eating in one in the Chicago area, it's probably a matter of convenience and price/familiarity. In my case it was both of those, and not having the time to find a top-shelf Italian restaurant. However, overall this is a better than average Olive Garden in my experience, hence the 5 star.Staff is very attentive, even when it is close to the closing hour. The food is timely in preparation. Nothing was wrongly prepared per the menu or specifications for an OG. When it was asked, they even paid attention to my "Please don't bring me extra bread. I don't know when to stop" request on the first statement, which I appreciate. (No, seriously, I don't. I could inhale their breadsticks in the dozens. I know they're not that good but I just can't help myself. Why do you few loyal readers think most of my reviews are restaurants? Hah.) Prices are exactly as you expect: $20-30 a head unless you're getting fancy.Atmosphere is solid for a small family gathering, and the layout is your standard OG, but it's kept clean and well maintained in all sections of the restaurant. So, if you're specifically looking for an OG (Which I am usually not, but sometimes you get what you gotta get), this one's worth keeping in mind when you're having that inevitable "Let's not go to THAT one. Let's go to the good one."This is the good one.“

“I grew up in Highland with Sweet Tooth right down the street. Summers were full of bike rides with the boys to get some ice cream and a Jones Soda. Today I found out they reopened in Munster, and was able to take a stroll down memory lane. Such a fantastic, caring local business, and I will definitely be returning!“

“I have been looking for an alternative food restaurant. To start eating better over all, and when I tell you that, the jerk tacos ? were awesome. I did not expect that from a vegan restaurant. I would recommend over and over again. Thank youVegetarian options: I had the jerk tacos ? which are vegan“

“Kelly is an amazing server! She goes above and beyond. She’s so sweet and kind and very attentive. She makes sure you are happy and have everything you need. We dine here often and this was the first time we had Kelly. I can officially say that she is by far the best server! You can tell she is happy and loves her job and the customers. Good Job Kelly! I hope you get to see this!“

“The Jerk Burger and wings hit the spot! Fries are crispy and the seasoning is just right!“

“Real hot dog place and authentic no ketchup lol the Chicago way if you know the Chicago traditional way it's here come in and try it will not be disappointed at all it's been here before I was born it's classic Chicago gem spot if you know you know“
