“Good food every time we go and always get good service even when they are busy! They serve lunch all day which is perfect for those who arent breakfast lovers like me but your family wants to go out for breakfast! Prices are very reasonable“

“Our family dined in for lunch today. (4 children, 2 adults) Every single one of us really enjoyed our food. That doesn't happen often with having 4 boys. The waitress was attentive and very polite. Our food came out quickly and was nice and fresh. The cost was good for the amount of food. Will definitely be back.“

“The food, especially for what you pay, is great. I usually get a Buffalo Chicken Cheese Steak Combo, it’s $12.99, is the entire width of a styrofoam to go container and is so damn stuffed with meat you need a fork to eat it cause there’s no damn way you can eat it without like half the meat falling back in the container.
My wife usually gets their Gyro plate and it’s the same deal, so much meat that it’s basically 2-3 meals for like $16.
Their decor is pretty simple, and honestly if they had to choose between great food at very reasonable prices or some swanky decor I’m glad they went with the food.“

“ate there today 5-13-25, first time. we had the kitchen sink without mushrooms. I could only eat one piece, my husband could only eat two pieces. we had the foldover crust, excellent! staff super nice. they took excellent care of us. it was a 2.5 hour drive for us, each way but it was so good, we would return.“

“I cannot say enough great things about the service and food! I usually go on Sundays for wings and a beer 🍺. The service is great! I only get wings at Cagney's! They are AMAZING! And I always give a tip over 20% because the food and the service are definitely worth it!“

“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!“

“Every time we come to Portage, we’re met with smiles. Claudia is one of the nicest waitresses ever. Comes and checks on her customers regularly. 5 stars in my opinion.“

“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 just can’t say enough! The food. The service. The atmosphere. The owner! This establishment is worthy of ten 10 stars. Stumbled on this eatery a few years ago while traveling from Kentucky to IL and it has become a staple and traditional visit. As every other one, our most recent experience was once again, phenomenal, with some added extra attention from the staff and owner. Keep up the stellar work and thank you Jason, for quickly turning my travel frown upside down. Jen, those truffle fries, oh my.
We’ll be back.“

“My experience at Paige and Charlie’s Coney Island was an abundance of spontaneous joy. My husband was driving south on Broadway when he noticed decorations outside. We both agreed to visit for the purpose of supporting a business in our hometown. When we arrived I was immediately impressed with the kind person waiting to hold the door open as we entered. Then as I looked around inside the restaurant there were beautiful murals adorning the walls. My husband placed our order and I went to the dining area. As each person arrived it seemed like a family get together at a favorite relatives’ house. One of my former students came to the restaurant and I got to meet her daughter, “The Birthday Queen” for the first time. Paige and Charlie’s served as the perfect location for the Birthday Queen to enjoy her birthday breakfast! When our food arrived, it was truly a meal made for royalty. I ordered a half breakfast, but it was an abundant breakfast. Each bite was delicious, and the food was so abundant that we both had food left over. Then there was live music and a DJ in the outdoor eating area. I soon learned that we were in the right place at the right time because Saturday, October 4, 2025, was their official grand opening. The music was so great that people dining in the restaurant sang background vocals. I had an opportunity to meet multiple people who shared that it was a multigenerational business, and that made it an extra special experience to support this business. The wisdom of an elder generation combined with the innovation of a younger generation presents possibilities to prosper on purpose. Visiting Paige and Charlie’s Coney Island was a beautiful, memorable, refreshing and joyful experience. Thank you to each person who planned and worked to ensure that this business succeeds. I am cheering for each team member to win. Thank you for all you do through your work for Paige and Charlie’s Coney Island!“

“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 &“

“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.“

“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 🤩“

“Great experience at the club and nice staff .“

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

“great food, excellent service, friendly staff, tasty desserts“

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

“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 food, awesome friendly staff!!“

“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“

“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!“

“It's a footloose out of 10“

“Best French dip sandwich, chicken and rice soup, waiting to get my Nutella and banana crapes!“

“Don't have all items on menu. Wondering how they stay in business.“

“Had a great time with my large family! Super great staff! Thank you to Cindi and Sara! You guys are amazing!!!“

“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!“

“great food, big portions and great prices“

“This place is fantastic. Great food, decent prices and friendly service. The perch is a must. Will be back for sure.“

“We were looking for a place to take the grandkids. My Wife is gluten free so that was also a consideration. We arrived mid/late afternoon. We were greeted by a nice dining room and quickly seated. Our server was quick to see if we wanted beverages and provided us menus. Everyone in our group ordered a different menu item for dinner. Our food arrived quickly, presentation was great, food was piping hot and well seasoned. Desserts were delicious in taste and a treat to the eyes. Prices were very reasonable. Last but not least, our server was very attentive and friendly. I give this restaurant 5 stars.“

“Tanya is the best and funniest waitress in the world. That Tanya lady also sounds like hana Montana🤩🤩🤩“

“I came to fill my stomach... I left with my soul nourished instead. She fed me beauty and elegance with her gaze, like no queen could before. Her voice, calming as the tide... Her eyes, deeper than the ocean that tide dances on. And her heart... More grand than all the waters the planet could offer. Sarah, of you I dream.
The cooks are knowledgeable about dinosaurs too, so that's pretty neat.“

“First, the service was very good. The bartender was quick to pick up on whether we wanted a drink or we wanted a menu. The food was great, as always. I have to eat something when I come in here. I just can't pass it up.

Parking: There is a lot of parking, but you may have to walk.“

“If you are thinking of hosting a party of any kind, this is a beautiful venue. The food and staff are amazing. They go out of their way to make everything perfect. Do not hesitate to make this your 1st choice! We will be back!“

“We love coming here, and the last couple times we’ve been here, we had Lauren as our server. She is amazing, sit in her section if you can. She’s great at her job. She brought us extra dipping sauces, was very timely, remembered us, was extremely kind, checked on us several times, brought us free samples of her beer recommendations (based off of our personal taste!); I can’t say enough about her! The curds are amazing, the beer is great, and we love everything we’ve tried so far. Get the pizza extra crispy when you go!“

“Call it Dante’s, call it Gators. This place is a legacy to the area. The bartenders are experienced and their personalities are the best! Shout out to Cheryle and Wade. From the chicken family pack to the pizza, Gators food is excellent as well. If a band is playing on the weekend, this place will be busy and you are sure to have a fun time. 😁“

“I typically do not post food reviews on these pages, but my visit to Depot Hot Dogs was exceptional. Last night, I sampled their newest menu item, Loaded Bacon and Cheese Fries, which were remarkable. The fries were cooked to perfection, with an ideal balance of ranch and cheese, accompanied by outstanding bacon. I appreciate the family-run aspect of the business. For authentic Chicago flavors, including beef hot dogs and Italian Beefs, Depot Hot Dogs is a recommended destination. They also offer items for dogs. Their support for the Humane Society is commendable, demonstrating consideration for both customers and their pets. While new menu items are available, their exceptional bacon cheese fries stand out. Depot Hot Dogs“

“Best Gyros in Merrillville! Don't forget the Chilli Cheese Dogs or Pizza Puffs! This is Old School Pirate Food...“

“Good food exceptional service unbeatable prices. orders cook fresh in hot. Support this Establishment whenever you're in the area.“

“We randomly stopped here on our way home for a quick bite to eat and to avoid Chicago rush hour. We ordered the Italian beef. Let me just say IT DOES NOT DISAPPOINT! It was super yummy! I spoke with a cook and they cook it overnight. Our server Mandy was friendly and took good care of us. Food was great and cheap compared to many other places. The atmosphere was laid back. I definitely would come back again just to eat. Seriously, if you want good food or a good sandwich. Stop and get their Italian beef!“

“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!“
