New American Restaurants near East Chicago, IN

“first timer...great chicken enchiladas n burger“

“Literally the best food in Munster. Incredibly refreshing.“

“We thoroughly enjoyed having our wedding reception at The Emerald Green. The new event coordinator, Dani, is truly fantastic. She is very familiar with event hosting and has a solid understanding of the wedding industry. It was a pleasure to work with Dani for her reliable communication, attention to detail, and professional coordination of vendors and reception timeline. Dani respected our floor plan design so the seating arrangement was exactly what we envisioned for our wedding. There was ample seating and space for our DJ, photo booth, dessert table and a gifts table. Our guests especially loved the food and the open bar. Overall, we were pleased with the entire server staff of The Emerald Green. If you are interested in a beautiful venue to host your next event, we recommend this!“

“If you’re talking top-tier steakhouses in the Midwest, Council Oak Steaks & Seafood is firmly in that conversation.

I’ve been there multiple times for different occasions, and they’ve been consistently on point every single visit. The seafood tower is a standout fresh, well-presented, and exactly what you expect at that level. On the steak side, they don’t miss. The 28-day aged bone-in ribeye is packed with flavor, the bone-in New York strip is cooked perfectly, and even the grass-fed ribeye holds its own, which isn’t always the case at other places.

We’ve worked through a good portion of the appetizer menu too, and everything has been solid no filler items, just quality across the board.
Service matters at this level, and Sam always delivers. Attentive without being overbearing, knows the menu, and keeps the experience smooth every time.

Bottom line: consistent food, strong execution, and reliable service. They haven’t disappointed yet and that’s not easy to say after multiple visits.“

“food was Good enjoy myself“

“First interaction with Antonio in the tasting room......was nothing but pleasantness..... a friend and i encountered him at the bar for a brief time once before and our experience was the same.... if I come to the tasting room in schererville and Antonio's there then I know it will be a great experience always.“

“Nice bar to go to, good people go in there. Lately I've been noticing the bartenders don't want to do their job, want to hang out with their friends and not cater to customers. Very unfriendly, act like you're a problem if you aren't a everyday customer/friend. I hate having to wave down a bartender to get my drink, this isn't your clubhouse...it's your job! smh!“

“One of the all time best in Chicago and knowing the owner is big on my list“

“Food was great ,people were informative and friendly“

“I have only been to this restaurant once. From the outside it looks like its barely hanging on. It needs some sprucing on the outside. The interior though is classic and traditional. It has an interior that Bronzeville's Pearls Place could really use and space that Valois in Hyde Park really needs. I can also recall how good the pancakes were. I can't say much about anything else. It's been a while. My hope is that they could clean up and modernize the outside. For this they may need an infusion of cash. I believe the outside is where the business falls off a bit I mean you wouldn't even think it was open for business. Its the only place worth eating at in the whole 8th ward. The area is filled with junk food options and it's a shame. I will be back soon.“

“Party Room catering food 🖤“

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

“I had the gyro double cheeseburger. the flavor was great however, the burger itself was a tad bit overcooked. That made the burger a little dry but it was still a decent meal.“
