47 Best American Restaurants near Dyer

“My food was good, but two people at our table said that biscuits were terrible.
I wish they had better plant based options. A quinoa, kale bowl? How about at least adding mushrooms to it? With huge variety of plant based proteins available, I am surprised to not see them on the menus of most restaurants.“

“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!!!!!!“

“Great ? dogs, etc. Counter help personable, efficient. Different brand of dogs that are super. Chicken strips different from the usual type. Excellent.

Parking: Limited, but enough.

Kid-friendliness: Everyone welcome.

Wheelchair accessibility: Seems adequate.“

“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.“

“Food, drink, and customer service can't be beat!“

“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!! 😉🥰“

“Very good service and delicious food 🍲“

“Had a fabulous experience at Coopers Hawk! We did the wine tasting with Tara. She was very knowledgeable about the wines and what dishes they paired with. We would recommend asking for Tara. She brought a good vibe to our evening with her positive personality!“

“Best bang for your buck. Delicious, fresh, great variety of food. Exemplary service.“

“My first time I had ever been to Lighthouse and it was so worth it.the bartender ( Lauren ) not only made fantastic drinks but she also knew the menu and was able to guide me on what to get. The service from Lauren was amazing and I will definitely be coming back.“

“Our server today was Savannah. Her customer service was excellent! She made my son’s birthday breakfast a great experience. The other staff members were great as well. The food was good, and the restaurant’s eating area was clean. The boys did say the men’s restroom could use some freshening up. I do recommend this Denny’s and we hope to visit again.“

“What an incredible establishment. The owner was so kind and accommodating, the staff warm and welcoming, the service fast and PERFECT for our group of 17’s orders, and they were so kind! The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was amazing. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you all at Sandbar Grill for everything. You guys are the best, and we’ll definitely be back soon!“

“food was Good enjoy myself“

“well I'm really torn on if I should recommend or not... most of the time the food is fine but when it comes to fundraisers they are really really horrid. let's put a box out and not put anything on the box so the majority of the people have no idea about tossing their receipts in there for a cause... im pretty sure they make enough money where they can put something on the boxes for the customers... if they are so scared about losing money don't even bother... yesterday I was there around 4 and not one person threw a receipt in the box.. I was the first.... second fundraiser and second time unless you already knew, had no idea about it.. .“

“quick, fast, and friendly.“

“the new app set up is so much better with options that make sense for any additional add ons!“

“Visiting the area and family wanted us to try their brews as one of their favorites. Tried a flight of 10 beers and favs were Tangerine Trackstar, Toxic Words, Lucifer in a haze, Immoveable King, Nuban overlord and the top one Here comes the reaper. We also had the Pretzel and queso for snacks. They were very good and fast. They also had ice tea which is not always available at breweries. I will say the art work gave me pause and some of the names being a Christian but I don't know the background to comment.“

“Great place.
They have a full bar, full dining area, a nice big deck, and they have slot machines. There is also daily events posted, if that your thing.
There is a wall to pay tribute to veterans and I love that being my day was a veteran. May he RIP.

“OMG ! This place is AMAZING !!??Very welcoming , BURGERS ? ? FOOD ?, service, EVERYTHING! It’s the greatest! Servers are very nice . And they know all the menu. So if you don’t know what to get , they are great to tellYou what is best !“

“Have you ever been in a situation? Where you ask your significant other… “ what do you want to eat?” And they respond with “I don’t care just pick something.” Well that was the case with hotspot on Halsted. When I pulled up, I knew that it was a typical traditional food spot so I came in with the mindset of let me try something super traditional, so I looked at the menu and something peaked my interest, and it was the Mexican style hotdog, I wish I had a picture to show, but I devoured it so fast that I don’t think I had enough time to take it. It was so delicious My Wife ordered the burger and she enjoyed it thoroughly as for service. I do have to say it was better than I expected, and by My Wife being bilingual it made it super easy to order to get the service proper service. I definitely will stop by and grab the same thing I had before and maybe try something else but in my book“

“A diverse social setting, very welcoming, and a very nice environment just to sit and have dinner. Great local musicians help to round out an evening.“

“Cool place live music good atmosphere“

“Staff is amazing. Customer service is HARD don't let anyone tell you otherwise and they always come off as being genuinely welcoming and friendly. I've never had an experience at this location where it felt like they were having a tough day - and that's hard to do in the service industry.“

“Excellent Food and Service. Great prices too especially for the portion sizes .“

“butter burgers are delicious along with the crinkle cut fries“

“I ordered hoagies & a ham & italian beef baked potato. Everything was really good but the Italian beef baked potato was the bomb!!“

“We ordered the cod dinner on 1/29 and it was delicious. However, when we sat down in a booth we noticed an elderly lady struggling to walk up the icy sidewalk from the parking lot. When the young man brought our food we told him about it and suggested someone spread salt on the area. He was nice and thanked us for mentioning it. However, in the 45 minutes we sat there no one followed through and actually salted the sidewalk. Not good, Culvers.“

“The cheese on the burger wasn't melted at all. The fries were medium warm, and the employees' uniforms were all over the place, dirty and sagging and let's not get on these ladies' hairstyles. Multi colored hair. Long weaves. All with zero hair nets.“
