Restaurants in Chesterton

“The coziest burger place in all the land! Great monthly specials, good drink selections.”

“They always have great service and food. On this particular day, the waitress got everyone's attention and the whole restaurant sang happy birthday to her! That made her day! Thank you!”

“Aliyah was an amazing waitress. It was incredibly busy for a Tuesday night but she kept her head held high! She kept our drinks full and served our food hot. We would love to have her as our server every time!!”

“The lg tenderloin is hubs favorite! He loves it. The fried chicken is wonderful.”

“One of my faves 💗 Doncaster and Voodoo are my favorites but live the spring/summer matcha choices ( especially berried memories) and the fall/winter chai bar. They make their own syrups and it’s never over done!”

“Delicious for the vegans AND the non vegans!! Our group had Impossible Burgers, regular burgers, a hot dog and a Cuban. We had tots and fries and desserts. Everything was delicious.”

“Great food worth the drive from Hammond”

“A great wing place with good sized wings and amazing fries!

For the price you get decently sized pieces of chicken compared to the emaciated wings at other places, which makes them stand out in quality. I always get the Hot Honey wings with ranch.

Justin made sure my wings were made fast and with plenty of seasoning which I really appreciated. A ten piece can last you two meals, which is perfect for a 12 hour shift!

I can't sing my praises enough and will always come back for a quick bite and easy work meals.”

“Been eating here for years and recommending them for years if you want the best burger in Chesteron/Porter area. Some other favorites are the bacon wrapped poppers, steak or chicken flatbread, soups, and the only place I know that still has homemade pub chips. Just had my first ever minor issue with a cook on burgers and the owner addressed it and made it right. I am looking forward to their new bi-weekly specials to try some new items. Gastro 49 customers for life.”

“Great food and friendly people. We had a great time!”

“delicious food and dessert”

“Great food and great staff🥇”

“100 assorted cupcakes and a beautiful anniversary cake was absolutely delicious. Everyone raved the cupcakes. We can tell it was made with LOVE. Flavors and cakes are super delicious.”

“Thank you so much Laura for your kindness, and generosity towards me today and the Lake staff of Red Cross. Your interaction today made me smile.”

“Never been- walked in and owner at the bar ready to help! Super friendly and very personable . Food even better !!!!!!! Cajun chicken pasta best in area 💙”

“Chips and queso , I'll pay you $10 if you guess correctly if it's vegan queso. Incredibly good. Dunkel weiss and Kölsch from Germany along with home brewed ales plus much more. A repeat for this New Buffalo local.”

“Came here at the recommendation of a good friend was definitely not disappointed. Its a smaller establishment so that was tough to deal with as far as anxiety goes, but we didnt have to wair long to be seated! Dexter aka Spicy White Tuna Roll was our server and he was efficient, friendly, and hilarious! I tried the Dragon Egg (what a masterpiece!) as well as the Autumn Lemon Roll (I LOVE lemon and was quite pleased). You get what you pay for here but it was an awesome sushi time!”

“Cute little food spot in Chesterton. they make iced and hot coffees/Lattes. i ordered their special snickers latte and raspberry cheesecake stuffed french toast. Very very good. there was inside and outside seating available. Staff is kind and fast. they also have pastries at the front that you can get when youre all finished.”

“Very kind staff, great food, and the overall ambience on the establishment is welcoming and inviting.”

“excellent food excellent service the portions are huge be prepared to take home leftovers! I ordered the cheese sticks they were so good I took an order home for later I had the Italian beef sandwich it was awesome and my wife had the chicken alfredo she loved it all this for under $50 is unbelievable we will be back!”

“I personally was not impressed. The atmosphere felt crammed and very loud. I think the metal roof contributes to amplifying the sound and I could barely hear the people I was seated with. I will say the kids loved the pizza. I thought it was good but probably wouldnt come back.”

“5stars!!! Superb crab cakes, lamb and crème brûlée. Will be back soon. Congratulations to Jesus, the new chef.”

“My staff asked me the other day if we could all order smoothies from Smoothie King. Not being a particular fan of smoothies in the past, I only reluctantly said okay. I’m glad I did. Not only was the service fast and friendly, but the smoothies were amazing! We all started our day off in such a great mood because of our fellow local small business and customer service colleagues over at Smoothie King. Thank you so much!!!”

“We were a bit lost and stopped here on a whim and the food and service were great! We ordered a full slab of ribs to share bc we were "trying" them out and they did NOT disappoint!" we will definitely be returning soon. Brylee was our server and was very attentive with us. They have Friday specials which I look forward to trying. Check them out if you're in the area and even if you're not. It will be worth it!”

“Today my family and i dine in this establishment and the food very delicious. I had the rib platter and the ribs were meaty, tender and the sauce delicious 🤤 Samantha, our waitress, nice and polite, and she served well. I speak blessings upon Round the Clock.”

“We had a large group and came in for lunch. I had the chicken shawarma with steak bowl and we had the falafel bowl. The homemade carrot salad and hummus was great. Its a great alternative to a Chipotle or resturant like one. They also have gluten and diary free pitas.”

“stopped into have a few beers with a friend of mine , weren't too many in there, bartender was nice and polite, asked me & my friend if we wanted to eat and we said no , I will return again”

“Absolutely love! Not only are their products amazing and tasty, and the staff there is so kind and friendly!”

“The place is more of a to go building. Employees are more professional and focused on getting the orders out ASAP and accurately compared to other dairy queens.”

“A true dive bar haha. The bartender was awesome and chatted with us for a while, gave us recommendations for food nearby as they are drinks only, but you can bring in your takeout. Cheap beers!!”

“Might be the nicest Starbucks I have ever been to with regard to the friendliness and efficiency of the staff. The actual place is laid out so nicely. They delivered my food and drink to me . It was a pleasure to stop thete.”

“stopped by as our son wanted a Chicago style pizza, and I wasn't driving into Chicago. it was amazing. the young lady that was serving us was great at her job, overall great experience”

“My family and I LOVE this chicken. My husband eats the tenders almost daily and they are huge. The man that owns/makes the chicken ALWAYS makes a fresh batch for me. They are the kindest people and everything we have tried has been delicious and fresh!”

“Highly recommend! We had Holly for our server and it was amazing! Food was amazing and she was hilarious! 10/10 recommend and you won’t be disappointed with her or the food!”

“ABSOLUTELY HANDS DOWN THE BEST MEXICAN RESTAURANT ANYWHERE AROUND!!! GREAT FOOD GREAT SERVICE!! THANKS FOR COMING TO THE AREA, NAILED IT!!!”

“Great service tonight! Monday December 2nd 2024! Hard working, pretty lady who's name started with M😁 Food was excellent 👍🏼 Jalisco and Steak tacos! Yummy homemade salsa too! Very happy we stopped in!”

“Woke up this morning starving ! Well maybe not literally 🤪 woke my husband up and we came I. For breakfast. Was having a rough morning already so when our waitress came up to our table (AMY!) she was so incredibly kind! Smiling ! Helpful! She was “tag teaming” with another waitress (i dont remember her name) but one brought coffee one brought waters and BOTH brought smiles!! When our meals were brought to the table my husband and I (as we always do whether we are at home OR out!) held hands and prayed …. Later Amy came by and said something along the lines of “it was so nice to see you two holding hands and praying in public “… she had already made a comment t how nice it was to see us holding hands …. She really made my morning! Her kindness changed my rough morning to something that turned out to be a great day….AND the FOOD was ABSOLUTELY fantastic as always!!! As a matter of fact it a now 844 pm and I just ate some of my leftovers (ill finish them in the morning!) Thank you to whomever hired Amy! THank you to the chefs in the back for cooking such amazing food! Amy! Thank YOU for making my day much better than it had started!!”

“so welcoming and lovely, party atmosphere”

“Absolutely love this place. The bartender is the bomb! She makes me everything in anything I could possibly want. Food is amazing! I recommend that everyone comes here!”

“Came for the buffet in Michigan City, so delicious!!! 10/10 give them a try!!!”

“Delish coffee and the staff here are the best!”

“I've been eating here since the beginning. The food is the best everytime. My wife and I brought her parents from Milwaukee here. Now whenever they come to visit they always ask if we can go to Tao Chens for lunch! Great food friendly staff .”

“Everyone is so friendly. It is refreshing in a cold world. I don’t know if the employees there realize how much they do for my soul. They are the bartenders for the recovering alcoholics. They are the only Good Morning for the over worked single mom. I know it may sound silly to most but when you are lonely and depressed you learn to appreciate the little things. Thank you sweet strangers!”

“Had a great customer service experience today. It really goes a long way being kind to others. The associate who helped me truly made me feel welcomed & appreciated. She also made sure my sandwich was made just as I wanted. I didn’t get her name but keep shining!”

“Patrick is the G.O.A.T he helped us and other costumers with a great attitude. He was very considerate to help the poor when a customer stole a drink after faking getting water, correcting the behavior without causing any harm. Great Service and employees with an even better attitude! Thank You!!!”

“Everything was good as well as the service would I recommend this restaurant that’s a hard yes”

“Definitely a good place for hot food and a quick bite!
(Using the coupons makes this place a less expensive option than many others.)

Been here a few times for dinner over the past 6 months.

Staff (is actually up front and not off somewhere or on their phone), is friendly, greets & takes our order immediately. If you need sauce or a bag, they are right there to help!
👏STAFF here are amazing! Thank you!

We have always received HOT, FRESHLY made food. (Brief wait, not long.)
The entire restaurant is always very clean!

ONLY COMPLAINT----
Parking lot needs fixed!!!!!! PLEASE!”
