Purple Steer Restaurant

The restaurant is clean and the food is great. I have never had a bad meal here.
The restrooms could use some work. They need a good cleaning and mild repairs.

Whatever you're hungry for Purple Steer has it. Typical Greek restaurant in Chicago region. I just had a pulled pork sandwich which was excellent. I also really enjoy their soups and salads. Decor desperately needs updating but the food works well for what it is. Burgers very good too.

I can’t say enough about this place. I’m from KY but my fiancé grew up in Hammond. We visit every two weeks and the Purple Steer is on our list at least once per trip. The prices are incredibly cheap. Don’t be fooled into thinking that means the quantity or quality is sacrificed. They serve so much food you will definitely need a to go box. Alcohol prices are also very reasonable. With all that said the best part is the cool old school atmosphere. You have to go to understand.

I dined alone in the afternoon on a weekday and the service was remarkable. Very attentive, coffee refills, and quick and affordable.

I ordered the Open Face Turkey Sandwich...a huge portion of turkey over white bread with mashed potato and smothered with their homemade turkey gravy. It comes with soup and a basket of rolls/crackers.

I got the lemon rice soup and it was very tasty and hot. The roll was also great and served hot. There were a variety of crackers in the basket.

The turkey was great and gravy paired well together. The potatoes were just okay, needed some salt & pepper. The portion was so large, I had to take some home.

The restaurant was about 1/3 full at the time and it was clean and in good repair. Checking out was quick and efficient. I would return again and try breakfast next time which I hear is pretty awesome!

Worst restaurant ever. The soup was horrible after tasting it the soup had hair inside it and tasted awful. The croissant sandwich was Aldi brand not worth the money. The manager is clueless. The staff is nasty and don’t use hairnets. This restaurant needs to be investigated by the board of health.
