Restaurants in Dyer

“Doug was patient, cordial, very attentive. My mom, 96, has not been out for a meal in 5 yrs. Doug made this a pleasant experience for the 4 of us. Comfortable sitting, great comfortable noise level, not crowded sitting( we had a wheelchair), food excellent. Pork shoulder outstanding. No stickiness on anything. Best day/meal ever! Thank u Doug”

“Have ordered from robs for family gatherings. Never a bad experience. From subs for football games, beef for holidays, and excellent choices on deli salads. We’re big fans of Robs and order over and over again from them.”

“Incredibly delightful day after being introduced to this wonderful Deli by my son! Tony's Panini was absolutely delish! Tasted Tony's homemade meatballs also delicious. I have so missed having a great Italian Deli as a go to. Tony your hospitality was very much appreciated. You will be seeing me often. Thank you again!!!”

“It was yummy in my tumm!!!!!!!!!!”

“The gyro and philly cheese steak sandwich were amazing!”

“My husband and I went out on a date night on Saturday and decided to check this place out , we were NOT disappointed. Everything was amazing from the service to the ambiance. There is nothing negative I could say about this place. We will be sure to come back soon.”

“First time there food was amazing, service was great and restaurant is beautiful”

“I can honestly say I have not had a bad meal there! We usually make it for breakfast which is always absolutely delicious but one day we were hungry and needed some lunch and decided to pop over and the hamburger I got was amazing!!”

“We typically love it here. However, we had an easily avoidable issue yesterday. The app only allows the "call ahead" for up to 6. We had a party of 12. So, we called the location to ask if they could accommodate a party of 12. We kept getting placed on hold by 3 different employees only to be told they can't give a time estimate until we are physically there (15+minutes btw of employee after employee). Okay, we pack up and head there. After arriving we are told they can't even sit the 12 of us together and it's a 1.5 hour wait. What a WASTE of OUR time. I understand the wait is based on the customer traffic. But if you guys know you can't sit 12 together, TELL US OVER THE DAM PHONE!!!!!!”

“Always friendly and food and drinks made fresh. Enjoy that owner came to ask how our meal was. Surprised that they offered a free taco lunch on my birthday. This makes about 6-8 times I’ve been here, with the same great food and service. I highly recommend going here when Mexican food is on your mind.”

“Food is amazing service is greatttt”

“Came in late one night for some ice cream after work, absolutely loved the service. The worker Bob took our order and was so pleasant and funny. Loved talking to him while waiting for our food.”

“Nice people, great teas and shakes!”

“Absolutely fantastic food and great service! We will definitely be coming back! Their ribs are the best! Between the rest of my family I also sampled their pulled pork, brisket, Mac and cheese, coleslaw, and fries. It was all great. Can’t wait to try everything else on their menu.”

“We went to Johns in Dyer and had a fabulous experience. We went for my birthday. 4 adults and eight grandchildren. The food was amazing and the service was awesome and the boys making the pizzas were so nice to the kids. The kids were watching through the window and the cooks were interacting with the kids. They had a blast and are already talking about how they want to go back. We will be definitely visiting Johns soon! Thank you all so much for the wonderful food and wonderful and friendly service!!!”

“My husband and I have been ordering from Doreen’s pizza for 14+ years. We’ve ALWAYS gotten the perfect pizza! Super delicious!”

“I didn't order any food when I recently visited Spanky's - a bar and grill located in a small strip mall located at 15213 101st Ave. in Dyer, Indiana. I had a few drinks, served by the very kind bartenders, and really enjoyed the live music with my friends and family! You can smoke in the bar, but it is pretty well venhilated, according to my non-smoking friends. There is a decent sized stage, plenty of space to sit at at the bar or at the tables in front of the stage, and there wasn't a wait for the bathrooms. There were three stalls available in the ladies room, which were clean, and it was nice not having to wait! Prices for the drinks were very reasonable. If music isn't your thing, there were plenty of TV's to watch - showing the news, gameshows, and sports games. I had an awesome time, they had amazing musicians, and I look forward to going back soon!

Parking: Because the bar is located within a strip club, parking can be limited. There are signs in front of the businesses that state only customers for that business can park there. There IS free, additional parking located behind the strip mall, though.

Kid-friendliness: This is a bar that features adult music. You might just want to leave the children at home with a baby sitter if you're going late!

Wheelchair accessibility: There are parking spots for disabled individuals. Those with wheelchairs shouldn't have much trouble navigating the single level bar.”

“the bartenders are AMAZING!! 😉🥰”

“Stopped in with my boyfriend for a jumbo all beef Chicago style hotdog and two chili cheese dogs for lunch. Everything was delicious and hot! Service was great! The woman preparing the food was friendly and quick to bring out our food. We'll be back! Thank you!”

“Service was great, hardly anyone in line so it was quick. Veggies were fresh as well as the bread was soft. We tried footlong cookie. It was definitely worth the $5.”

“Very good service and delicious food 🍲”

“They brought mini sample sandwiches to Jewel today, they were delicious! 👍🏻”

“Good Morning. Just wanted to say Thank you to the young lady who purchased my breakfast for me Several cars arrived at the drive through at one time. I just allowed her to go in front of me. Your gesture warmed my heart and made me smile. Thank You”

“Excelente service! Great flavorful pizza. I recommend this restaurant. It broke the scale of my expectations! I will return again.”

“The stars are for the Dyer restaurant. I've also been to Lansing (on Torrence Ave). I'll tell you about both and compare them for you, but all I've ever eaten here is barbacoa because you can't find it by my house & I LOVE it. (My husband has tried a couple of other things, but he'd never had barbacoa before and once he tried mine, that's all he's eaten, also. 😂)

🔸Dyer - I've been here many times. It's not fancy, but it's clean and the service is quick. I've eaten inside and taken my food to go. You order at the counter and they bring you the food which is DELICIOUS‼️ It's the best barbacoa I've had in YEARS! So good! 😋

🔸Lansing - I've only been here once. I took my food to go. It looks a little fancier (more colorful and modern) and it appeared as though they had more people working there, but the service didn't seem quite as fast as in Dyer, and this restaurant is on the corner of a very busy street, and it was dinner time. (The Dyer restaurant is not as big for inside dining, but it's also very busy. However, it's located in a not very busy corner mall.)

I was disappointed in Lansing's barbacoa after having eaten Dyer's many times and come to expect steady perfection. Here, it was dark and dried out. It's a good thing I ordered some guacamole on the side to add to my tacos. I always order extra cheese on my tacos but here, I don't think I even got the normal amount and I paid almost a dollar a taco for it. (So much for my "Taco Tuesday" discount.) My husband ordered the same in a burrito and he felt the same way that I did. We were very disappointed when we got home - and the food was still very hot, so we can't blame it on that.

I never thought to order guacamole in Dyer, but in Lansing they have an open freezer (to the side) for Mexican popsicles and such, and an open fridge right at the counter, so the guacamole, amongst other things (I don't remember what), were impossible to ignore. I did appreciate that they offered two kinds - with everything and plain. Not only was it very tasty, but I had a small amount left because I didn't eat all of my food at once, and the guacamole stayed fresh and green in my fridge for TWO DAYS! Unheard of!

So, all in all, I might try the Lansing location again, but the Dyer location is totally in my heart for their barbacoa and people. Time after time it's been tender and scrumptious and the people are warm and friendly - something I cannot say about the Lansing location.

Btw, both places have plenty of free parking - in Lansing, on both sides of the building and in Dyer, a large, shared lot right in front. Wheelchair accessibility is good in Dyer, but I think it would be more difficult in Lansing.”
