Family Restaurants near Griffith, IN

“Far better than expected!I avoided getting food from here for the longest for two main reasons:1. I figured it was just like Round the Clock from which I do not like.2. Their DoorDash isnt set up to make mods to your food.While the DoorDash thing stands true, Jedi’s being of similar quality to Round the Clock was way off base.Below is a list of menu items I have tried from there along with a description and rating. Keep in mind I’m rating the food for what it is, which is food from a little family restaurant in Griffith IN, not Michelin starred food from the Las Vegas Strip.Mediterranean Wrap - (8/10)Great flavors in this wrap and the chicken is always tender and well seasoned. It’s also pretty big. Which they had the option to put the Greek dressing on the side so the wrap didn’t get soggy when having delivered.Breakfast Vegetarian Wrap - (8.5/10)Never thought I’d be somebody craving a vegetarian dish but this breaky-wrap has me hooked. They jam pack this thing with eggs and veggies and it is so good and super filling while making me feel like I got my micro nutrients in.Breakfast Mexican Wrap - (9/10)This is my favorite menu item! I don’t know if make their own chorizo or what, but it is so unique and flavorful! It’s definitely not the standard store bought chorizo taste most people are familiar with, so maybe skip this dish if that’s what you want, but it instead tastes a lot of coriander which gives it this very rich, warm aromatic flavor. Might not be a fan favorite due to that but I think it is absolutely fantastic.Jedis Chicken Pita - (8/10)Another large dish packed with flavor. They do not skimp out on any of the ingredients with this one and it makes for such a flavorful, balanced tasting dish.French Toast - (5/10)Not bad by any means but nothing to write home about. Essentially just your average, run of the mill French toast. Still good, just not great. Perhaps their specialty frenchies would stand out more but I’ve only tried the plain.Plain Cheeseburger - (5.5/10)Admittedly, I am a burger snob, so my rating may not be fair. The burger itself was good, moist, had decent flavor, and while it may have been a pre-frozen patty, I didn’t mind it. I do wish it had been slightly thicker and wider to actually fit the bun, but it left me feeling satiated as is and the bun didn’t seem to overwhelm the meat. This might not be a burger I ever end up going out of my way to get, but I wouldn’t avoid getting it again either. That said, they desperately need to add a mods option to at least their burger section on DoorDash, as this would have been significantly better had I been able to add things like grilled onions and mayo. No condiments were included with my order, but fortunately the meat itself was moist enough to where it was still enjoyable without any type of ‘sauce’ on it.Mostaccioli w/ meat sauce - (6/10)Dont expect Italy and you’ll probably enjoy this. It’s a large portion, noodles are tender , they give you plenty of sauce, and aren’t stingy with the baked cheese on top. The sauce itself does fall a tad bit flat and could use a bit more herbs (although I like an earthy sauce) but it’s still a moderately tasty dish.Meatloaf (3/10)My boyfriend actually ordered this and didn’t mind it but I was disappointed. The meatloaf was a just simply off. Not bad to the point of being totally inedible but to me tasted like something you’d get in a TV dinner or from a high school cafeteria. His mashed potatoes seemed to be some type of instant potato, although they weren’t inherently bad they were also like cafeteria food .“

“Very kid friendly. Descent adult food and good kid food. It's a good place to run little kids around. Train to ride, arcade, train setup the kids can watch.Kid-friendliness: Definitely a kid place. Sit at the counter and tour food is delivered by a train“

“The food was really good. We got there around 10:30am and it was still rush hour. Totally understandable and good. We waited around 15mins for our table to be clean and ready. But once we were seated we weren't noticed for about 20mins. No coffee or water. Once we asked what look like the manager she seemed to be annoyed. Then we waited for about another 15mins to actually order food. We still love the food so we are hoping it was just due to business been busy. By the time we got our food the customers were done. So no complaints once it was only a few tables left.“

“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.“

“This restaurant is clean. The servers were friendly, helped me with the menu,brought water without me asking and very attentive to my needs. All the staff including the cook wore masks. The food was delicious and prepared just the way I ordered. The staff gets points from me by wiping down all things used by previous customers. I highly recommend this place.“

“When I’m in or near Merrillville on business, I always choose The Original Grand Park Cafe to dine. Delicious food with layers of flavors. Warm and comforting atmosphere. Staff members, Jose and Jessica, have always made me feel so welcome when I’m far away from home. I cannot express just how much I love this cafe. It doesn’t matter if it’s breakfast, lunch, or dinner, the food is amazing for very reasonable prices considering the taste.“

“We ordered breakfast and lunch.. The ham and cheese omelet was fluffy, hot, and delicious. The potatoes are crispy and hot. The sausage gravey was delicious. The chicken & rib combo was delicious. The chicken was crispy and juicy. The ribs fall off the bone.. Lemon rice soup wash delicious and hot too.. Thank You, and Happy New Year....Parking: Paring is on the side of the restaurant.Kid-friendliness: Yes it is.“

“Excellent service, waitress was pretty fantastic! Best Potato ? soup ? ever, except the Soup ? was warm not hot like it should be served. My Sauteed Pike fish ? Entrees was good but the Greek potatoes laked seasons. Otherwise the Senior menu has a variety of Entrees to try from except the specials. I'll be back again too give it a try.“

“We ate there with friends for dinner. We were seated right away; this is a very big place. It is very well kept and very old school in every way. The service was top notch with very attentive wait staff.I ordered the Sliced Roast Turkey, and my wife went with the Chicken and Lake Perch Combo. My Turkey was good, though slightly on the dry side but the gravy helped with that. The dressing and potatoes were good.My wife’s dinner was very large, and she said it all tasted good. She didn’t agree with the reviews about the chicken being the best, but she said it was fine. Next time she will just get the Perch because that was fantastic.If you want an old school restaurant that will remind you of the olden days, this is the one for you.“

“OMG, I had not been to Bakers Square in forever! I was hoping they still had my favorite sandwich: Grown up grilled cheese, with fries and honey mustard on the side and of course I finished it off with a slice of lemon meringue pie. Our waitress was very funny and checked on us often throughout our meal. My family and I will definitely be back. Now go ... Check 'em out!!! ???“

“Service was poor in that my coffee cup was empty and nobody came around to see if I wanted more. On the other hand, I ordered two eggs over easy. Many restaurants around her serve them and they still have a film topping the yolks. TN's were perfectly cooked with no film. It is one of my nitpicky items when dining out.“

“First time visiting this establishment, and it was exactly what I expected. Nice place for a cheap bite. The staff and servers were inviting and friendly. Took care of all our needs. The food is not 5-star worthy but is not bad either. I got a burger for my main course and potato skins for an appetizer and they were very good. I would definitely revisit this location.“

“I've been here for breakfast and dinner. Good food, decent prices and friendly staff. Nice atmosphere. I noticed The Wheel and Round The Clock have same menu, I don't know who acquired who but I think I get my money's worth at The Wheel seeing you get soup and dessert with dinners.“

“LOVE LOVE LOVE ❤️ This place ?Service is always great even when they're super busy. I get food to go. I am a home healthcare provider, and several of my clients order food from there . Eventually, I started ordering food from there. And I now understand why they do. ?“

“A great first polish food experience for my party. We loved the family owned mom and pop vibes. Very friendly staff, service was fantastic, food was tasty. The owners were hanging out with locals and came to our table to ask how we liked the food. Highly recommend the potato pancake dipped in sour cream and applesauce, which I learned is a polish tradition. Will definitely be back!!“

“We went to this restaurant for the first time after passing by it daily for years. Some friends asked us to join them there and we agreed not knowing what to expect. It is now my go to place for breakfast at dinner or any other time. I have fallen in love with the way they make their waffles. The next time we went I encouraged one of my friends to have the waffle and she also agreed that the waffle was excellently made. So, So, So, light and airy, flavorful, yet not at all soft or mushy on the outside (how they do it consistently I want to know). Just the way we liked it. Never had a restaurant captured all of this in a waffle that I have seen. You can also have it made with all kinds of toppings. My hubby loves the skillets. I am a pescatarian so I had the chicken. They allowed me to adjust my order for a small upcharge to wings instead of the chicken fillets. The portion size is very generous. Each time I have gone (so far) almost everyone in the group took home food from their meal. We will also return, just the two of us, because we both loved the ambiance and atmosphere.Dietary restrictions: I am a pescatarian.“

“Let me eat huge daily special plates for free as a dishwasher when I was starving homeless in other people's homes unlike the rest of the greedy restaurants. Even offered very discounted monthly hotel across the street. I used to walk miles in the high snow for that check.“
