This place is worth seeking out. It is off the beaten path nestled next to the industrial area but it’s a hidden gem. Cheerful decor, great food at a good value and very friendly professional service.

It really feels like you are family here, Cindy is awesome. I’m definitely coming back when I can and recommending this place to everyone I can! I got the two eggs and chopsteak breakfast and could barely finish everything! It was fantastic and tasted delicious! I’m going to look forward to working jobs at US Steel just so I can eat here.

Best food real diner food nice n clean inside and great people
If any spot deserves to be called a Gary landmark, it’s Great Lakes Café. The food is classic, hearty, and always cooked with care — from breakfast staples to their incredible lunch specials. The place has that welcoming, old-school neighborhood feel that reminds you what community dining is all about.
Beyond the food, what really makes it special are the people. The staff — including some of the most charming and beautiful Greek women you’ll ever meet — treat everyone like family. Their hospitality gives the café its heart and soul.
