“Great service and delicious food. Everything is top notch. Drinks are huge. Great sports playing on many TVs.

Wheelchair accessibility: My husband is in a wheelchair. It is easy to get him in and out of the establishment. Plenty of handicapped parking“

“Came in and the place was completely empty, sign said "seat yourselves" it felt kind of awkward but someone came out to greet us a few seconds later. Staff was super friendly and nice! I brought my grandmother and she wanted to split her meal with someone who wasn't able to come to the restaurant in person, so they brought out half of her meal and waited until we were almost done with the other half freshly made and packaged! Lake perch was great! Not like other restaurants that try to serve ocean perch as lake perch. The Nashville hot chicken strips were a little disappointing they didn't have any heat to them, but the chicken was cooked perfectly and the breading was really good so it made up for it! Mac n cheese was delicious, I was even impressed with the fries! None of them were soggy or over salted! I'm sad I couldn't have tried them sooner!“

“Great food, nice little gathering place for friends and family. The staff are very kind and courteous. Everyone from customers to the cooks are great with my children. We always leave in a food coma with a smile.
Prices are good, and servings are filling.“

“I called to ask about having a birthday party on short notice for my son’s 30th and during the holiday weekend and received a call from the owner letting me know it wouldn’t be a problem at all! I could bring my own food and decorate and he would have a DJ for the night. All the staff were very helpful and accommodating for anything we needed! Service was exceptional at the bar! My family and friends complimented the establishment as soon as they walked in the doors. We look forward to future gatherings or parties here for sure! It was a wonderful evening had by all!“

“My carryout order has been messed up the last few times and the current manager is extremely rude.“

“Celebrated a friends birthday there last night and had an amazing dinner! The entrée of braised short ribs melted in my mouth and banoffee pie could not be beat for dessert!“

“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!“

“I freaking love diners and Dawn is the best server in the business. My wife and I go here religiously. When friends come to town we take them to the islands where you get great breakfast for a great price. Toss your worries out the window while you stare at the heart of Crown Point. There's plenty of room for everyone so bring your grandma and party.“

“I got to tell you I'm hard of hearing I'm a 40-year carpenter and the volume was ridiculous on the TVs..

Service and food was very good

I had the veggie pizza I thought it was excellent I ordered it well done“

“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.“

“The staff is always super friendly and the food is fresh,made to order and good. (Definitely get the Gizmo Fries).“

“What a great experience renting the event space for my son and his fiancé’s wedding shower! The space, the food, and the staff were wonderful! Highly recommend 🤩“

“Talk about a restaurant that gives you that feeds you warm and cozy food but make you feel so warm and cozy from the service as well...ANGIES IS IT!!! This is a MUST GO TO PLACE!!! I LOVE THIS PLACE there is absolutely nothing on the menu that I haven't tried that just isn't DELICIOUS!!! From the time you walk in until the time you leave this is a resturant that gets that A++++ rating!!! Go check it out for yourself!!! P.S. The chicken n waffles are AMAZING!!!“

“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.. .“

“My friends and I ate breakfast there the other day. They had remodeled the place. It was brighter& cheery. The only thing I would recommend is bring in some round tables for groups of 6. That makes it Easier for talking & socializing while you eat. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. Our meals came quick & hot. The store area has many nice things but set up too crowded to actually look well to the point you might miss something you would actually buy. I would actually redo the set up of - how you display the products in the store area to be less congested. It’s just too overwhelming to see it all well in its current set up.“

“A group of us came here for the first time tonight and will definitely be back. Our server Brent did a great job with our party, our food was great and my espresso martini was amazing!“

“I had the Juneteenth Grilled Pineapple bowl special.(grilled: pineapple chunks, rice, yellow & red bell pepper, & chunks of chicken, topped with sour cream served inside 1/2 pineapple rind. Um,um, very flavorful and good. I also had the lunch special Fried pork chops, cornbread dressing, cranberry sauce &“

“There’s something about the way the young lady takes my order that keeps me coming back for more. She’s soo nice, my order is always correct and fresh, and when I come to pick up she always greats me with a smile. She provided TOP TIER customer service everytime ?“

“It is definately a hidden gem in east chicago. Food was prepared to perfection. Savory and portions were good. Service was amazing and the decor was very relaxing. Had a great experience. Highly recommend

Parking: Parking limited but understandable... main street“

“I went early not to pack nice place had the strawberry mamosa the fried chicken sandwich breakfast sandwich that come with bacon and fries egg on it choice of Toto’s fries and something else. The chicken was tender but they need to change their oil soon“

“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 experience at the club and nice staff .“

“It was my husband's choice, for his birthday lunch today and it was awesome! We'll definitely be going back! 👍“

“This is a fantastic steakhouse. We had a great time dining here last Saturday night. Our rib-eye steaks were juicy and tender, the mashed potatoes were delicious, and the drinks were perfectly made. The decor and atmosphere are a bit simple, but the food was excellent, and it's only 10 minutes from home. We've heard the new owners are renovating, and we hope it will give the restaurant a more luxurious feel to match the quality of the food. All in all, we'll definitely be back“

“The short rib, wings, and side salad was delicious. Great presentation, flavorful, and my waitress Dawn was very professional and extremely nice.“

“everything is great u never had I highly recommend u do 🔥🔥🔥🔥“

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

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

“The upstairs bartender, Aaron C. does the work of 2 bartenders. I sat at the bar...he served me my lunch. He was very friendly and fast. The upstairs was loaded with like 50 guests from a baseball team? So he was VERY busy. But that didn't stop him from speed, accuracy and friendliness! Best bartender ! He deserves a raise!“

“went there for the 1st time last Saturday for Nomad Planet show . Fantastic venue ! Very cool vibe great art work really good food ..had a taco and amazing pulled pork slider that was huge and delicious. We look forward to future shows ! we'll definitely be back .“

“The best baked potato soup I’ve ever had. & that strawberry cheese cake? Fire af. I get both every time I come down here. The guys who run the register are always so sweet even when they’re busy. They stay busy af all the time so these 1 star ratings are clearly from people who had 1 bad experience. My boyfriend & I are here at least once every couple of months & we’ve only ever had to be refunded once & management gave us a cash refund & offered us something different for free… no questions asked.“

“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“

“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.
This place is a hidden gem and will be my new spot!
Oh the food and the drinks were amazing!!“

“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.“
