“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!“

“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.“

“The food is authentic as it gets. All the Polish food is made from scratch and the staff is incredible. Service is great and friendly. Absolutely give this place a try!!“

“We recognized as members of the Marriott Bonvoy and assigned an excellent, clean room. Although the facility is adjacent to the expressway, we heard no traffic noise. The staff was friendly, efficient and helpful, including helping us with luggage. The location is easy off/easy on for the expressway.“

“We always love the food from Cracker Barrel. This last visit was unfortunately not very good. We had to continuously ask for syrup for the pancakes and then when they brought them, they brought the wrong kind as we needed sugar-free by the time they did get it to us pancakes were a little bit better than lukewarm. The eggs were not cooked the way we had asked. The service was very slow and although all this sounds bad, we will of course be going back because most of the time it’s good service and good food. We were at the Cracker Barrel in Merrillville, Indiana.“

“Love this place, but the dining area is massively reduced (March 2025). Might be just getting worked on (?), not sure, but had family in from out of town that loves this place too and we couldn't fit our group so we had to go somewhere else!“

“Food was great, customer service was less than great. No smiling faces, curt service. They have drinks but you wouldn't know if you didn't ask. Handed my husband his soda, he asked if they had straws and she slid him one. Why not ask if he wanted a straw? Won't go back, even though the shrimp were pretty good. I value service more than anything.“

“catch it on a night I. the middle of the week, good food for quick bite and nice place together a drink with friends“

“Love it, love it, love it! Last night was my 2nd time there, and I had a ball! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. It’s a very diverse crowd—The atmosphere is fun, laid-back, and the crowd is very mature, which I really enjoyed. Definitely a great place with good vibes! I’ll be back! 😊“

“I went in and I was greeted immediately and I was able to get a booth by request. The restaurant was also extremely clean.
My server, Melanie, was extremely kind and she constantly checked up on us and made sure we had everything we needed. I ordered the appetizer sampler and it was delicious and a great temperature when I received it. I also ordered the lemonade splasher and it was amazing, 10/10 would definitely recommend!“

“Staff is amazing. Customer service is HARD don't let anyone tell you otherwise and they always come off as being genuinely welcoming and friendly. I've never had an experience at this location where it felt like they were having a tough day - and that's hard to do in the service industry.“

“Typical breakfast dinner. Place is clean. Service is good. Food is average - not bad, just not spectacular or anything out of the ordinary (some breakfast places go over and beyond with presentation, portions and seasoning). We have been coming here for years and the place is very consistent. Always good and fast service. Food is always exactly what you ordered and expected. Coffee could be a bit stronger...“

“I’ve been here twice now! The food is magnificent! The Senior Menu is awesome and the staff efficient and friendly!
10.00 senior menu for a 3 course meal! Outstanding! Do go if you haven’t yet! You won’t be disappointed.“

“Yesterday was the first time I had the opportunity to eat at Fat Sam's.. I had the Philly Cheesesteak and it was wonderful !! I will definitely be returning to try more of their menu the next time I'm in Hammond...“

“Had a great time. Great atmosphere“
