“Great Food friendly atmosphere“

“This is my first time ordering from them. I got it on doordash so I was a little worried, but when it arrived, my food was hot and it was good. My mother is harder to please and she really enjoyed her got. I would order for breakfast again.“

“Best pizza ever since I was little“

“Disappointing..the chili/koney sauce was very salty to the point it was nesrly inedible. ..I think since it was late afternoon, it simmered to the point where it became concentrated due to evaporation and it needed some liquid to even out the extreme salt content... the dogs were good, the chili cheeseburger was almost impossible to eat..so messy. Fries were.probably the highlight of my visit the lady behind the counter was excellent though 👍👍 Great service I probably would try them again though....possibly the saltiness was an anomaly“

“They have some of the best Catfish in town period…..“

“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.“

“Flamingos has been in town for a long time. Nice little cozy place. A good perch dinner. We like a thin crust pepperoni pizza. The flavor of the pizza dough reminds me of Onos which was one of the Best pizza places, that has a Great flavor to it that you can not find anywhere. The cheese is stretchy when hot. Good flavor! Thumbs up?for Flamingos!“

“Love my tavern family always😎🥰🥳✨“

“Great cheese steak !!!! Gotta try u s steal sandwiches 😂😂yummy!!“

“Ques Lounge in Gary is top-tier! They’ve added a stylish cigar lounge featuring Winfred Owens Cigars from Estelí, Nicaragua, along with some incredible premium infused cigars you won’t find anywhere else. The food is great, the cocktails are crafted to perfection, and the vibe is smooth and upscale. Perfect spot to unwind, enjoy good music, and treat yourself. Highly recommended!“

“Everything was so delicious. I'm not cooking anymore on Sunday.“

“This place has a good variety, wonderful staff, and the Food is decent ! . The desserts are good. Gelato tastes amazing. They had fried ravioli, bread pudding, brisket, ribeyes cooked to order, came on a Saturday evening . They had Cajun ettoufeè with shrimp, chicken ,and sausage. Fried shrimp tasteless, just tastes like oil. I didn’t try the Mexican inspired station , but it looked to have fajitas and all the toppings. Spring rolls not good. Marinara sauce was good.“
