“Trails Edge did an amazing job hosting my husband's birthday party this weekend. We had a large crew, and they worked very hard to make sure everyone was well served. The food and drinks were great, the service was extraordinary, and the vibe was perfect. Thank you all (especially Jackie and Brianna) for taking care of us and allowing us to truly celebrate a milestone birthday! Thank you!“

“I love the service, everyone knows their stuff and if they recommend something ..... listen to them..“

“My husband and I have been coming to the Wine Thief consistently (and probably far too often, lol) for the last five years and it’s still our favorite place in the Frankfort area! Michelle has been a fantastic resource for trying new wines - she even got me hooked on my absolute favorite rosé from Matthiason! She always makes sure she says hi and makes a recommendation when she sees us, even if she’s not our server. Tim has also been an amazing addition to the team here!“

“Nice people and great food!“

“The food and waitstaff were excellent and the portions were HUGE! Can’t wait to go back! Highly recommend“

“The Griffin Museum of Science and Industry was an amazing experience with something memorable around every corner. The Spider-Man exhibit was a lot of fun, and the storm and airplane simulations made the science feel hands-on, exciting, and real.

The human specimen exhibition was not something I am into but it is interesting.

Another major highlight was walking through the full-sized United Airlines Boeing 727. It was especially meaningful to learn that the aircraft honors Captain William Norwood, United’s first Black pilot, and reflects the important legacy of Black achievement and representation in aviation. We visited during a Black pilots convention in August, along with a pilot there for the conference, which made that connection even more powerful and inspiring.

This museum blends interactive science, history, innovation, and powerful stories in a way that keeps visitors engaged. Definitely a five-star visit and well worth the time.“

“Catered Easter dinner from Bella Mia and everything was exceptional - the food and the wonderful customer service. We will definitely be ordering again.“

“It was our first time here, the place was packed, they had a HS fundraiser going on so there was a bit of a wait for our table (we didn't know this when we decided to come here.) Although the place was so so busy our server Erica, was on point & didn't miss a beat. S/O to her awesome service...The food was all very yummy too. We have already said we will be back, we really enjoyed the Caesar salad with Kale and the flat breads.“

“Omg I went for the first time to this restaurant yesterday and absolutely loved it. They serve a good portion and I asked for extra tomato and they sure gave me a lot of extra tomato in my hotdog. Most places don’t give a lot of extras when you ask for it. And the best part of going there was their soup. The soup was absolutely delicious. I will be definitely going back here a lot more. The people there were very, very nice. I wish I would have gotten the cashier’s name. She was super nice and attentive. I think I’m going to go back again today. See what kind of soup they have today and try their beef sandwich. I’m sooo glad I stopped there.“

“All around great food, great atmosphere..“

“Good margaritas and good dry rub wings and shrimp the best!!“

“We recently visited for my bday on 5/31. The decor is beautiful and the service was stellar! Everyone was attentive and friendly. Our hibachi chef was amazing. He was extremely entertaining and super accommodating. He made our hibachi dinner experience the best we have ever had. The food was perfect and great portion sizes. My son even ordered Spider rolls and said they were amazing! My two teens and 1yr old enjoyed it immensely! Thank you all for the great celebration. We will be back for sure!!! Highly recommend to all!!“

“Mary in the tasting room is great at the Merrillville location,nice lunch spot.“

“Great place to watch sports“

“What’s with the low reviews here??? Came with a group of 10 and the pizza was outstanding. We live in the city and think it goes toe to toe with the trending tavern style spots - Zarella, Pizzamici - honestly might even be better if it’s always as tasty as it was when we came in. Our server was very attentive as well. Please open a location in Chicago so we don’t have to drive so far!“
