Restaurants in Hammond

“We thoroughly enjoyed having our wedding reception at The Emerald Green. The new event coordinator, Dani, is truly fantastic. She is very familiar with event hosting and has a solid understanding of the wedding industry. It was a pleasure to work with Dani for her reliable communication, attention to detail, and professional coordination of vendors and reception timeline. Dani respected our floor plan design so the seating arrangement was exactly what we envisioned for our wedding. There was ample seating and space for our DJ, photo booth, dessert table and a gifts table. Our guests especially loved the food and the open bar. Overall, we were pleased with the entire server staff of The Emerald Green. If you are interested in a beautiful venue to host your next event, we recommend this!”

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.”

“After having a disappointing experience at another restaurant, we called Casa De Luz to see if they could accommodate our party of 13. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed, and the staff made sure we had everything we needed. The service was top-notch—attentive, friendly, and efficient. We had no issues with seating, and our orders were taken promptly without feeling rushed. The food? Absolutely amazing! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. You can tell they take pride in the quality of their dishes. On top of the great food and service, the prices were very reasonable, making the entire experience even better. We couldn’t have asked for a more enjoyable dining experience. If you’re looking for a place that values its customers and serves fantastic food, Casa De Luz is the place to go! We’ll definitely be back!”

Their orders are very fulfilling. I've also never received a wrong order. They absolutely care about their patrons, and that means a great deal. I live in Chicago, and have a Chinese food restaurant in walking distance from my residence, but I come here, and I wouldn't dare go anywhere else”

“They make the gyros the way I like it, the fries are good, they give you plenty of food for the price and the staff is excellent.”

“Stopped by after work to grab a couple of slices and the pizza had a generous portion of cheese on top and the undercarriage was delicious and crispy and not charred or burnt which was nice on a thicker crust! What happened to the phantom menace pinball machine?”

“Good classic diner with the same great quick diner service. I ran into some familiar faces and it made everything a little bit better. I'll be back again to have that texas skillet with the chili. That shits a hit and I'll make sure to bring some peppers or an habanero to bite!
👌🏿”

“What an awesome place, every shake sounds like it would be delicious I can't wait to try them all. Their location is kind of obscure but very convenient it is right off of 173rd just west of Calumet. Directly across the street from Terry's aquarium and Walgreens. All of their shakes have natural ingredients and natural sweeteners and they use Herbalife protein powders and vitamin supplements.

Would definitely recommend”

“Great customer service and good was fresh, hot and delicious!!”

“Pretty good food with great service. Unfortunately, inside is filthy & humid with multiple dehumidifiers running & multiple stacks of knockoff laundry detergent pails taking up 20% of the seating/waiting area. Dirty plexiglass separates you from the flattop grill. At least that allows you to watch the preparation of your food. I always get takeout, so atmosphere is acceptable to me for the authentic Mexican food 😋”

“catch it on a night I. the middle of the week, good food for quick bite and nice place together a drink with friends”

“Food was great, customer service was less than great. No smiling faces, curt service. They have drinks but you wouldn't know if you didn't ask. Handed my husband his soda, he asked if they had straws and she slid him one. Why not ask if he wanted a straw? Won't go back, even though the shrimp were pretty good. I value service more than anything.”

“Bought some perfume as a gift from this spot and woow she loved it . I didnt expect this place to have real perfume imported from UAE BUT WOOW

Food is great”

“The food was amazing, service was wonderful, and the place was very clean. I will definitely be back!”

“Hi House of Pizza! I have a question for the owner. I grew up eating your pizza in Hammond, Indiana, and it’s something I’ve always loved and remembered. I now live out of state and was wondering—would you ever consider shipping one of your pizzas overnight across the states?

I know it’s probably a crazy question, but I figured it couldn’t hurt to ask! I’d love to be able to enjoy a pizza from back home again. 🍕”

“I went in and I was greeted immediately and I was able to get a booth by request. The restaurant was also extremely clean.
My server, Melanie, was extremely kind and she constantly checked up on us and made sure we had everything we needed. I ordered the appetizer sampler and it was delicious and a great temperature when I received it. I also ordered the lemonade splasher and it was amazing, 10/10 would definitely recommend!”

“Not only does Tammy decorate and create the most beautiful cakes, Joy assists to every attention to detail! They both go above and beyond to satisfy the customer; And cakes are DELICIOUS!!! 😋😋 Oh and I would never forget to mention that ALMIRAS has THEE BEST DONUTS ever created! The homemade chocolate frosting is to die for with sprinkles as an added bonus!! 😉”

“Best Birria hands down. It's so flavorful you don't need cheese and they don't sell it. Very unique consume but definitely the best flavor I've tried.”

“such a good dining experience. The food was made fresh to order, Guacamole was absolutely delicious, the wings were fire, and the owner and his Family (His Mother especially) were very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely eat there again.”

“A very clean bar. I didn't eat anything there or even know if they have a kitchen. The bartender was very nice and outgoing. The crowd was like an after work crowd. We were meeting friends there to go to a ball game. Had a great time, the time we were there. I would go again.”

“Love it, love it, love it! Last night was my 2nd time there, and I had a ball! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. It’s a very diverse crowd—The atmosphere is fun, laid-back, and the crowd is very mature, which I really enjoyed. Definitely a great place with good vibes! I’ll be back! 😊”

“Really food and pretty good service”

“The joy I feel when I go to Home Plate Pub is indescribable! The bartenders are the friendliest and most efficient in all The Ville! The quality of the coke has gone down a bit, but the patrons that frequent Home Plate are some of the finest people that you’ll ever meet. The only other bar in Hessville that was FAR SUPERIOR the Home Plate was Brothers II, and sadly that fine establishment is no longer in business! RIP RON & SUE”

“I love that place. It's my home bar in the area. Nicest people you will ever meet.🍻 They don't serve food but they do have snacks.Stop in and check it out and have a drink.🥃🍺”

“if anything just go there and tell them that your gonna "TRY ONE" and it's smooth sailing from there.hello to all the Sportman patrons!”

“We always love the food from Cracker Barrel. This last visit was unfortunately not very good. We had to continuously ask for syrup for the pancakes and then when they brought them, they brought the wrong kind as we needed sugar-free by the time they did get it to us pancakes were a little bit better than lukewarm. The eggs were not cooked the way we had asked. The service was very slow and although all this sounds bad, we will of course be going back because most of the time it’s good service and good food. We were at the Cracker Barrel in Merrillville, Indiana.”

“When I lived in that region several years ago , Toni's was my favorite spot to ha. Ng out with new and good friends! Miss all of you so much , especially you Toni...Terry TC Carrico”

“Recently had the New Club Original Chicken Sandwich
$7.19
The New Club Original Chicken Sandwich features a lightly breaded all-white meat chicken patty, topped with melty Swiss cheese, crispy bacon, double mayo, crisp lettuce and juicy tomatoes on a sesame seed bun. Best Chicken Club sandwich was exquisitely favorable to my liking. Unfortunately I don't have pictures, but I will definitely order again.”

“I've never been to a Subway before so I was a little nervous about ordering. I entered the building and was greeted by a young man named Brayden. I think he could tell I was a little nervous about ordering so he went through the entire menu with me, ranking each sub from his favorite to least favorite. Then he told me all of the different variations they can do...I was astounded 😳! I was ordering for my 3 kids and wasn't sure what subs to order them. Brayden asked me about each kid and then suggested which subs they'd like based on their personalities. Well....he was right!!!! My kids LOVED what he picked out for them. While I was getting ready to pay he asked if I wanted chips and a drink. I said I wasn't sure so he suggested which chips and drinks would pair well with each sandwich!!! He was right again! To say I was impressed would be an understatement.”

“Typical breakfast dinner. Place is clean. Service is good. Food is average - not bad, just not spectacular or anything out of the ordinary (some breakfast places go over and beyond with presentation, portions and seasoning). We have been coming here for years and the place is very consistent. Always good and fast service. Food is always exactly what you ordered and expected. Coffee could be a bit stronger...”

“This is our favorite restaurant! We go almost every weekend. The food is delicious and a great value! You get a lot for your money. We were SO sad to hear that Chuy doesn’t work here anymore! 🥲 He is such a hard worker and has an excellent personality. It won’t be the same without him!”

“I’ve been here twice now! The food is magnificent! The Senior Menu is awesome and the staff efficient and friendly!
10.00 senior menu for a 3 course meal! Outstanding! Do go if you haven’t yet! You won’t be disappointed.”

“Fish nibblers! Chicken rings! Slidersssssss! BURP! You're welcome.”

“Staff is amazing. Customer service is HARD don't let anyone tell you otherwise and they always come off as being genuinely welcoming and friendly. I've never had an experience at this location where it felt like they were having a tough day - and that's hard to do in the service industry.”
