Restaurants in Gary

“The first time I ordered, my husband and I immediately planned to place another order (which we did the next week). We consume bread frequently in my household but we didn’t like that the store bought breads have awful ingredients so we decided to try this company. I’m SO glad we did. Not only are the ingredients amazing, but the taste of their products are great, too. Their bread, oatmeal cookies, banana muffins, chocolate chip muffins, cinnamon rolls, and pasta (everything I’ve received) are delicious!! Our 1.5 year old loooves their bread and asks for bread everyday now. Thank you so much for all the work that you do!”

“very good food!! i always get the sweet steak and it's always on point!! plenty of fruits and the sauce is amazing. the staff is always friendly and will def give you a laugh always up beat freaky good vibes”

“Every time I’ve order the food was fresh and good. The chicken is crispy & seasoned well. I can eat it with or with out the sauce, it’s THAT good. The pizza & ribs were also finger licking good. I’m ready to try the filet mignon egg rolls.Parking: There’s a few parking spot in front and plenty in the lot on the side of the building.”

“Amazing vegan options here, everything I've tried has been so good, fried avocado bites, hash browns, chili cheese fries, mushroom sandwiches, cinnamon rolls and vegan crab cakes.”

“Great find off the turnpike!! Good food,out fast & it was yummy! Filled us up so we could continue on our way to Chicago! Owner gave me cookies for International Women’s Day! Great experience & food. Will stop again.”

“We just ate at the last Armans Hot Dog stand....totally delicious!The building isn't big inside or out, small parking (also, because it is crowed inside), but it is clean and the owner and his staff are very friendly.To us, better than Pops & Nick's in Crown Point.Also, it's right across from the Miller Train Station .... which looks like it is pretty close to opening....wahoooo!Parking: It's a small parking lot... and it is filled most of the time.”

“So I've me here several times and everything I've tried so far ha been amazing I love the $1 tacos the best. The fried chicken is very flavorful. It you want sauce in side they are more then happy to do that and try to accommodate everyone and their needs. I would recommend to try this place out. They also have a second location right inside gary that just opened up if that's closer to you.”

“We are a local business and we ordered catering for a meeting. The food was delicious! They were very generous with the taco meat, everyone loved the flavor, and the cost was very reasonable per person (with rice and beans). Highly recommended for office or home!”

“Food is phenomenal and the customer service is great. The owner is a very influential guy from our neighborhood. Family oriented and business savvy. I recommend the jerk tips that is my absolute fave. The soul food is definitely great as well . Keep up the great work and thanks for all you do for our community .”

“My husband sent me to Brown Skin Coffee to get his Birthday Breakfast. I ordered him the ham and cheese croissant and fresh fruit. I ordered the chicken and waffles. Everything was DELICIOUS! But the real treat for me was the ambiance and beauty of the artwork. Being a 1990 EMERSON VPA alumni, I could appreciate the “creative” atmosphere. It was actually quite stirring. I was delighted to see that it wasn’t just an eatery but also a VENUE for the City of Gary! Congratulations Brown Skin Coffee on your template of success!”

“The food was good but the service was average and the drinks were definitely not that good. I could have went to the casino and had a better time with better drinks.”

“Virgil and Renee were super friendly and accommodating. We stopped with the dog and Virgil set a spot up for us outside. The beer was great, the food was great, and it was an all around awesome, dog friendly experience!”

“Buffalo tenders are the best and stud zaddy at the front register is always nice and makes me laugh every time and her smile is just beautiful. Excellent customer service everytime I come in counter with her.”

“I really enjoy this place, the music was on point, the bartender was awesome, the atmosphere was great, the food was good I just wish it had more lemon pepper, but overall I really like this place and every time I'm up that way I'll be at Fly Nation ”

“I had the pulled pork sandwich and rib tips. Definitely one of the best around. The gentleman at the counter was helpful and really nice. I will definitely go back A1 guys”

“They need to work on the smoke from the casino coming into the restaurant.Vegetarian options: Vegan options are nice. However, no protein for vegan, just a grain.”

“Hard Rock makes it easy to have a good time. Good seats, service, chow, drinks, and music. This time it was the Crawpuppies! I dread the day when I'm too old to enjoy this stuff. ?”

“So good omg I literally cannot live a day without trying their food!!!! ITS STRAIGHT FIRE ????????????? OMELETS BE DELICIOUSSSSS ???Vegetarian options: If u don't want meat no meat u get ?”

“This is a carry out stand has been here for ever and has always been super good I love the polish with everything and the hot green tomatoes you can thank me later for sharing this with u ?Kid-friendliness: This is a very nice carry out place.”

“Stopped here today after the beach and was not disappointed! Jerk chicken was so delicious and the Mac and cheese was one of the best I’ve ever had!! Great food, and everyone was so friendly!”

“Everything was exceptional. I liked the fact they had the bounce channel on playing a movie. Food was good. Customer service was great.Parking: Small parking lot out back. The street is narrow as well.”

“Second time here. Got the mixed meat. Phenomenal! Fresh meats perfectly cooked. Fresh homemade bread and the spreads, especially the white one are delicious. Truckers take my word on this. Great portion size and healthy macros. Going back before I head back to Texas. 10/10”

“We love this place! Their food is so good! From their Stromboli to pizza to chicken wraps- all good! The owner and staff is super friendly which is a huge plus! We will definitely be back!”

“I was passing through the place and I found this place, the food is very good and delicious, the tacos ? and the delicious gorditas are very generous with the meat ?, I ordered takeout and the only thing I didn't like was that they charged me for the lemons hehe, On the receipt there was a charge of $1.50 for lemons, but it is worth eating at this place, as a recommendation they need a spicier sauce, I hope to return soon ?”

“I have been coming here for four years. The food has always been great. My favorite recommendation for everybody is the curry goat and The turkey necks and the brown stew chicken cabbage is always seasoning well, rice always got seasoned. Everything is always seasoned to the gods. Great price as ”

“This is the first time I went to this restaurant I didn’t even know they existed. I found them on DoorDash and I decided to order the food was very tasty and large proportion and it is worth the money”

“We're new to Gary, so we are constantly trying new places. We chose SteelCity based off of the pictures. Then looking at their menu, the options were endless and it was hard to decide.THE SERVICE: I ordered online and wasn't able to pick the time I needed to pickup our food. So I called. Let me tell you...the lady that answered the phone was great. She was patient with me and answered my questions. When I told her it was our first time trying the restaurant, she gave me some of the back story. When I was at the restaurant everybody was great. Not too often I see EVERYONE at an establishment enjoying what they do.THE FOOD: We decided we'd try burgers and 2 different styles of fries. The SteelCity Steak Fries were hands down an amazing experience and plentiful. The burgers were smash burger style and if you're like me, you love the crispy edges.LOCATION: The only issue I had was finding the restaurant. I pass it twice day and had NO IDEA it was there. The Marathon station it shares the space with definitely hides it. BUT...now that we know it's there, we will definitely be going back.Thank you for the great meal and awesome experience.”

“They truly need to get this place and clean it and I mean a deep clean. Not sure what it looks like behind the glass but the area customers are served is nasty it is super dirty. But the food is great and the people are truly ”

“I love these ladies so much. This is my first stop I bring any out of towner just off the strength of the longevity and consistency they have gave us over the years! Food is amazing and the atmosphere is perfect. Hope they never change.”

“I went and asked for condiment cups and got accused of going under the counter to get what I just Asked for.. if I had already gotten them I wouldn't have been asking for ”

“For a great polish, this is the spot! Get the grilled onions. Also, I gotta me too. The salmon burger. You can't go wrong here! I just wish they get the Dole Lemonade back on deck!”

“Absolutely delicious. Probably the best Philly cheesecake I've ever had. I could only finish half of it! It was a little messy but not enough to keep me away. If I'm in the area I'll definitely stop again!!”

“I was tasked by my church in East Chicago Indiana to provide a food item for a men's cookout today. I decided to try placing a large order at this restaurant. I coordinated with the owner,Mr. Ali, paid for the order to serve 50 people with a few sides, and was pleased that the order was ready at the time promised and I was allowed to receive the order privately at the back door. The employees happily loaded my vehicle for me and to make a long story short, Churches Chicken knocked it out of the park. I'm very pleased with the exemplary service they provided and I would recommend this location to anyone needing a large food order.”

“Order’s are right and fresh. Crazy amount of desserts for a JJ’s. Really a one stop shop for all kinds of food fish, chicken, cheesesteak, nacho, and a bunch more.”

“Food is always nice and hot depending on who is working the drive through the staff can come off rude but I still will come back any way they need to listen more to there customer needs and learn how to talk to ”

“I can’t speak on the atmosphere as I only went through their drive-thru but the food and service were both AMAZING and I look forward to visiting here again in the very near future!! The catfish was so good, but they did forget to give me my coke slaw… but the lemon pepper seasoning and mild sauce were all that I was told they would be for sure!! Thanks Sharks, from an Akron Ohio girl!!”

“I been going here for the past 3 years ! I go in the morning ! They never fail with my drink and they are really quick... wish they stayed open later though it's always the same crew I recommend”

“Best customer service I've experienced in a long time. I ordered treats for eleven people and they got every item spot-on. The young lady at the drive-thru repeated my order once I completed it and again once I picked it up at the window. She was patient while I deliberated what to get and was professional and courteous throughout my visit. Also, my order was ready in less than ten minutes. I should say that 4 of the items were Blizzards. I was so happy they have a dairy-free Dilly bar for my Sister, who is dairy sensitive. If you happen to be in Gary and driving on Broadway, stop by this location and pick up delicious treats for the Family.”

“After waiting for 25 minutes to order, I got much attitude on getting my order. They didn't have all the chicken ready, and I was taxed for a 2 piece white with the strawberry sprite. I initially came in for 2, 3 piece white. Though the food was great, wish the customer service was a whole lot better.”

“I ORDERED CHICKEN WINGS w/FRIES & SHRIMP DINNER w/LEMON PEPPER ($25.). CHICKEN FRIED NICE CRISPY AND BROWN. THIS IS THE BEST SHARKS AND I HAVE BEEN TO THEM ALL.”

“I like Dunkin'. The coffee is always good and the drive-thru usually moves quickly. I don't personally care for the donuts, as they're too "doughy" for my taste, but my kids like them??‍♀️ it's very accessible as there are multiple locations throughout the ”

“The cashier couldn't hear or something. I repeated my ordered a few times at the drive thru speaker and when I got to the window and they still got it wrong.”

“The women working the store were great and very knowledgeable. We ordered 2 Steak & Bacon Grilled Cheese Burritos. They were made fresh to order, but the potatoes inside the burritos tasted like they had been from breakfast hours and it was after 2 o'clock, they were not fresh or soft, they were chewy and rubbery in texture. Again, the 2 ladies working the store were amazing, but they were getting slammed and were in desperate need of another helper.”

“My friends and I like to visit this spot while passing through. It's become a bit of a tradition over the years. While service has been good, this weekend we had the best service I have seen at any fast food establishment. Stephanie was incredibly friendly with her greeting, order management and even clearing of the tables. She made the experience after all these years exceptional!”

“I was skeptical about dining in as I saw the reviews weren’t the greatest. How ever I got none of that. I was greeted cheerfully with a good afternoon when I came in by front end staff, my order was taken and I didn’t feel rushed. I even changed some items as my daughter was being indecisive. I got no lip smacking or eye rolling. We washed our hands and were sitting waiting for our ticket number when they walked the food over to our table. We didn’t get a physical number, the cashier had remembered who ordered what items. I was impressed. As we sat eating our food. I heard the cashier wishing every customer a blessed day as they left. It was sweet and if this is the crew when I visit from Chicago I’ll always pop by for food. Everything was fresh and they did not skimp on the sauces for our nuggets ???”

“Fries were fresh and hot. Burger was good (except for the onions I had requested it without). Nuggets were fresh and hot. Shamrock shake was thick and delicious.”

“I drive for Uber Eats and picked up an order. Now they were extremely busy so I guess to save time they took the entire order of food that I picked up including drinks and stuck it all in one bag. Now anyone who has gotten McDonald's delivered to them knows McDonald's always puts their drinks in a separate bag for the just in case that happens .When they handed me the bag, the whole bottom of the bag was already wet because the drinks had tipped over in the bagBut they didn't want to deal with it they sent me on my way. So I'm sure I will get a complaint about it because I delivered it like that but they did not want to fix it. It's not the first time I've had an issue personally or professionally with that McDonald's.”

“What are you waiting for???? Go!! Double oreo cake ❤️ German chocolate ❤️ Carrot Cake cheesecake ❤️ Great customer service. Skip the chains and give this place a try.”

“I had a great time at this lounge. It has a relaxed, vibrant atmosphere, with the most friendly, attentive yet unpretentious bartenders. They definitely made the experience even more worth my while. I highly recommend this establishment if you’re looking for a laid back, epic scenery, with good food, guaranteed fun & great drinks. 5 stars barely does it justice!”

“The ladies there are so polite and food is made fresh! Today, I got the Greek salad! Omg it's worth every penny! It was made fresh! It also tastes amazing. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and ”

“Got some tacos here and leg me tell you. This salsa is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Best I have ever had! Got a side of fries also! It is to die for! Service was fast, good, and friendly! I drove from michigan city to here after a gym workout and it was 100% worth it. *I got BBQ pork and Coleslaw tacos which were ”

“This is an authentic original dive bar that dates back to the early 1900s when famous author Nelson Algren was hanging out in Miller Beach at his lagoon cottage. It's all wood interior will transport you to a different times. Cheap beer and good times!”

“Since October I have been going to T&T Brickhouse about once a week. It's the high point of my evening. I work late hours so it's hard to find food...this is the #1 soulfood spot in Gary...always good”

“I have eaten here twice and both time I was pleased with my food. Every time I came it was always crowded line was like outside the door. The workers were very pleasant and patient both times. Today is March 31 2024 and I can’t wait to go get a plate that’s if they open. I will highly recommend this please.”

“I absolutely love this place!35 and older!Security is a priority, you must be buzzed in to get into this gem of a place.Diverse crown with people of all walks of life. Located in Gary, Indiana Hunter's Inn is the oldest constantly operating tavern in the city of Gary! Rustic hand built wooden bar, old school refrigerator, J&J's famous Pizza too!!!Definitely worth stopping in and having a drink and getting a pizza!Wednesday evening there is a soft tip darts tournament too!Parking: All cars are under video surveillance and you can watch your car from the bar on CCTV”

“I worked there when I was a Junior in high school at Lee Wallace 1974.I rode my bicycle to & from work. Happy to see that Koney King is still open and providing wonderful chili, chili dogs and burgers to the community. I also remember Flamingo pizza, and Geno’s pizza on Broadway.”

“Been a supporter since the 1st location! Food still good and love the new building! Those JMOSA FLIGHTS are exceptionally good and different from the basic! #saloot #KINFOLKSLOVE #”

“I love this place ,I love there service...u r getting ? ur way...it's the best ....Dietary restrictions: Ur choiceParking: I love it..Kid-friendliness: Kids in there...Wheelchair accessibility: Easy..”

“Prices are lower than anywhere else andThe cook has been in business for years now, cooking is his game. it’s the best cleanest food you can ever find . we are lucky to have him restarting his restaurant on our block .”

“wonderful lady who makes mouth watering food! always have a lot of people ordering her food! her husband is a sweetheart as well! my favorite is her shrimp Thai cabbage egg rolls, yummy!”

“2nd time visiting this bar. Cool bar, However, if you want to donate to charity leave your items unattended. I blame myself and not Fatsos (I'm not blaming Fatso but the destitute Gary residents). I forgot people in Gary, IN are broke and need to steal your items to pay for basic necessities. I fill sorry for the destitute person the stole my personal belonging and hope it delays them from getting evicted. Enjoy!”

“I purchased the 7 wings and fries ? I don't know who got magic fingers back in that kitchen but babee, the seasoning be on point every time no miss at all the shrimp fire Kings and Wings was a big win for Gary on the food, AND IS....”

“I just had the worst experience ever. I placed my order over the phone. The young lady who took my order had an attitude. Her attitude was heard through the phone. I went inside to pick up my food and she still had an attitude. I tried my best to plead with her that I was not trying to cause any problems. I will never spend another dollar at this place again. I am posting this review on all websites, feel free to delete. I am surprised others haven't complained about this young lady.”

“I ordered the rib tips hot link combo with fries. I love the fries, especially with the sauce. The hot links were huge, flavorful and spicy. And the piece of toasted bread they gave was fire. I wish I had two pieces. However, the rib tips lacked a smokey flavor. There was no char so I think they were oven cooked. They didnt give the flavor I’m used to. The portion size was fair. I’ll go back, but not for rib tips.”

“Since October I have been going to T&T Brickhouse about once a week. It's the high point of my evening. I work late hours so it's hard to find food...this is the #1 soulfood spot in Gary...always good”

“So I had to go a few times before making this review. I have to say they are now on the top of my go-to list. I love the chicken nachos on fries! The tacos are pretty good too. Rice and beans are on point. Prices are very reasonable and you get a good amount of food. The guy in the drive thru always got a smile. Glad I took a chance to try them out.”

“Went there Friday with some neighbors in Miller and absolutely loved it! The food was amazing as was the service. Loved the new decor. I would highly recommend them and will definitely go back.”

“Absolutely delicious. Probably the best Philly cheesecake I've ever had. I could only finish half of it! It was a little messy but not enough to keep me away. If I'm in the area I'll definitely stop again!!”
