“So, if the management reads reviews I'd like you to know about one of your servers. She gets a 10/10. My server was Tuesday (actual name). She was absolutely fantastic. I can't remember coming across a server/waitress that was so genuinely friendly. Please have the manager of the Merrillville location personally walk out and thank Tuesday for being such an amazing employee. She truly was a delight!“

“Great food and very nice atmosphere. Large portions and very well prepared. Recommend the Biscuits and gravy combo. Also the sausage was high quality and not over seasoned. The bacon was crispy but not over cooked and the rest of the meal was cooked to request. Very friendly staff, but can get busy. Worth the wait if you have to.“

“We are from Michigan, down for a softball tournament. I sat in my hotel room for 15 minutes trying to find something "different" the Rib Tips were awesome! My daughter loved her burger, the employees were very friendly and nice, and the owner may have been the coolest guy I've ever met. I had a 10 minute conversation with him about life of all things before we left. What a great restaurant“

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 were at Catch on Friday night to check out the music, have some appetizers and a drink or two. The food and atmosphere were very good. However, the best part of the evening was the service that we received at the bar. Jill is an excellent bartender! She always has a smile on her face, is very attentive, and is never overwhelmed, despite the size of the crowd. Our interactions with Jill have been a real pleasure! I highly recommend Catch Table and Tap.“

“so excited to find a vegan option in this area. once my veggie burger (minus cheese and mayo to make it vegan) that was cold (in the middle!!) was reheated- it was yum! i would not get the sweet potato fries again. sub-par on those for the price. i’d rather have a smaller portion of better quality than a large portion of barely meh.veggie burger i would get again. and the people i talked to in order to see what, if anything, was vegan, were super friendly and super helpful. i can’t speak to the cheeseburger. my dad had that and took it home with him to eat later. but i know he loves RR.“

“We used to stop at Cracker Barrel a lot on the way to events or on the way home when our kids were competing in various sports. It's been a few years, but it is still a reliable, friendly place. When we arrived on a Sunday just after 1 pm, the wait was supposed to be 15 minutes, but we got a table for 2 more quickly. My greens and beans with a side of cornbread muffins was perfect. My husband's eggs were also good, the sausage a bit disappointing. Service was fast and friendly.Parking: Plenty of parking on both sides of the restaurant.“

“When you pull up with no one in the parking lot you thinking this can't good. You just had a wonderful weekend with good food and your on the way home. You think here's the shoe that drops...... nope Thanksgiving in February at your favorite aunties house. I had greens black eyed peas with rice, sweet potatoes, dressing, fried chicken and oven baked ribs that was made to perfection. I almost didn't eat there, it was very clean and from the moment we got there we were made to feel like we arrived at home and mom had cooked. Peach cobbler is a must for dessert. I salute my fellow veteran for making a restaurant with recreating what most military crave a home cooked meal.Dietary restrictions: They season middle of the road. Hot sauce on my greens and sweet potatoes. I didn't salt or pepper anything.“

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.“

“Updated Review:Found an excellent new favorite that we will be coming back for. The Admirals Feast. Made up of 2 excellent flounder filets. 5 or 6 large fantail shrimp, a dozen or so excellent bay scallops and multitude of excellent clam strips. All the preceding are excellently coated and perfectly fried. All this comes with a fabulously prepared baked potato and their great cheddar baked biscuits. Additionally our waitress Theresa was excellent. She was friendly and personable, and met all our needs.Now if they just reintroduced the Walleye this place would be fantasticSept 18, 2023.They no longer offer Walleye on the menu, which is the only reason I frequented Red Lobster.We had the fish and chips substituting a baked potato for the fries. The fish was battered cod, which was good; However serving only one small piece of about 5 ounces for $18 is a total ripoff. More like an appetizer instead of a main dinner course. Coleslaw was inedible, tasted like they used sour cream instead of salad dressing, no tang. The tarter sauce was bad, no tang It's called tartar sauce because it is suppose to have some tang, either vinegar or lemon in it!Luckily the biscuits and baked potato were excellent.They are suppose to be a seafood place? Why are the shrimp so small, size of krill. And the lobster tail they serve an small and tough.Also a true seafood place has a bigger variety of fish like Walleye, Grouper, Sea Bass, Red Snapper, Sole, Haddock,Jumbo Shrimp.There are carry out places in the area like Shrimp Express, Simply Seafood and Bobs Shrimp that serve way better Shrimp and Fish“
