“We are in Hammond for my sons hockey tournament and this place is just across the parking lot from our hotel, so we decided to give it a try for dinner. They had a big selection of beers, unfortunately the one I ordered wasn't very good. But that happens sometimes and I had to man up and drink it still. I had the Poutine and it was amazing. We also ordered a salad for my wife and a double cheese burger for the boy. Both were pretty delicious. But lets get back to the Poutine for a minute, this pacific dish had shreaded beef and deep fried jalapeños in it that complemented the cheese curds and gravy nicely. . If we lived closer, we would definitely be dining here often.“
“I absolutely love the self-serve/pay by volume system here. I had never been anywhere like this, and it is so much fun to be able to try as many different beers as you like. Plus, the food is great and everyone is very welcoming. Can't wait to come back!“
“Cute place with great cocktails and beers featuring a unique petite menu where you can't go wrong with anything you choose because of top quality recipes and ingredients. Right off the bike trail and dog friendly on their patio you can't go wrong giving this place a try!“
“Smallcakes in Homewood has an amazing variety of cupcakes that are all super yummy. What I love even more is their ice cream. The flavors are unique, they make it in house, and it’s beyond delicious. The Banana Pudding and Hennessy Caramel Butter Cake ice creams are my favorite.“
“Super cute spot on Main Street in Crete. Came for a birthday gathering and loved it. The space is cool. I really enjoyed the fun unique decor pieces. Definitely take a look around and take in all the cool features. Amazing pizza at the place above. And obviously fantastic beer.“
“We went at 4pm on a Wednesday. We had the place to ourselves. Once you receive your food, you are on your own to refill your drinks and grab to-go containers. No one came to check on us. There were items unavailable to try, but overall it was good.“
“Any brewery with a car is a good brewery in my book. Also as a person who is not that big of a beer fan, the brews they had on tap were so varied and excellent that there is something on tap for everyone. Their fruity beers were fantastic and I would be happy to have them again.“
“They have been redeemed! I went back and did the tour. Trevor was very hospitable. The place has a rich in history. We tried rum, whiskey, bourbon and Pecan whiskey. The food was delicious, I had the bbq bourbon burger. He even comped us a very delicious bundt cake dessert! I described it as, "a mouth-gasm."“

“Last night we traveled from Dekalb to tour this distillery. I wish we would have allowed more time. The tour we excellent, rich in history. The cocktails, as well as the spirits they produce were top shelf. We will definitely be back to sample the food. The tour alone was worth the hour and a half drive.“
“My friend and I drove in we got the Western Burger and Western Chicken. Once the hot waitress brought them over, I was eager to eat my juicy sandwich. The food was mouthwatering. Once we finished our hearty meals we left a great tip and drove home surprised with the great service and delicious food.“
“The pizza was great and the bear was too, but the reason for the 5 stars is the ambience. On a Saturday night, I attended this bar alone. The people were, albeit a bit tipsy, happy, kind, and welcoming. The bartender was a lone wolf, meaning she was the sole investor in each individual customer and I appreciated the involvement she had in my experience. Additionally, there are 2 beautiful and cozy little cats that run amuck, along with an outdoor fire to warm the soul. But the biggest draw factor is the wondrous collection of growlers and glasses from brewing locations across the Midwest, bringing me pride when I located the Land Grant bottle on the wall, which comes from the city of my Alma mater (5 hours away). One Trick Pony might be on a small side road, but I think you should “trot” over if you are in the area.“
“This was my first time at the Munster El Salto Location, & I was very impressed! From first pulling in the parking lot, I saw that it was a popular spot to dine on a Saturday night! ? The staff was so friendly and nice, & they seated us quickly. The decor in the restaurant was unique & inviting. The crowd was so diverse; all races and ages were out having a good time. We ordered frozen margaritas, queso fundido for the appetizer, & fajitas for our entrées. Everything was delicious, & I left with plenty of leftovers for the next day ? I'd definitely return for another visit! ????“
“A friend and I dined in for lunch. One of our brisket sandwiches was a tad bit overdone. BUT, when Dominic asked about our food we told him and he GRACIOUSLY took our sandwich and replaced it along with fresh fries. Dominic was an outstanding server.THEN, Dominic told us dessert was on the house for my friend and me.THEN, when our bill came we were only charged for one sandwich and not both.THEN, Dominic brought the owner, Steve, to greet us and he was also very pleasant and apologetic.The overall experience was wonderful. Steve and Dominic were awesome! Dominic deserves a raise!“
“I've moved from the area so I dont' come here as often but wanted to give them a shout out. I really like this place. It's an extra bonus when the weather is nice and you can sit outside. They food is decent and they have a great selection of specialty beers. My favorite is the Toffee beer they offer I believe it's for a limited time. They also have live bands. Service if fast and friendly and the atmosphere is family friendly as well. Grab your family or go out with some friends, this is a great place to dine, gather and enjoy some music as well. Cheers!“
“Just take my money lolTried once for a friend’s bday in February and I’ve been hooked since! Their Greek salad is amazing! Lamb skewers are my favorite and let’s not talk about their Gyros!!! Just ordered their Gyro special for lunch. Did I mention their customer service is top tier?! Y’all got me as a customer for life!!“
