“I was looking for a close spot to have a cold beer and grab a bite to eat in-between my daughters volleyball games and stumbled upon the gem called R Place. This spot is great! I was told that they have been in business 42 years! WOW, and I can see why. They are very friendly and treat you well. The food is fantastic and the locals are very laid back and make you feel welcome as well. If I was local to the area, this bar would be my base! A throwback feel to the better times, in my opinion. 5 ✨'s! I hope to get a chance to visit again.“

“Well everyone always tells me if you have bad service once you should always try again. Well I did and guess what service was still bad. With only 9 people in the bar area we asked for menus and drinks. We got the drinks but the bartender was too busy on her phone to come back and take our order. After waiting almost 30 minutes I walked out. I use to go there at least three times a week. Never again.“

Even the crowd is respectful and classy, which really adds to the experience. Everything is always clean, the staff is friendly and welcoming, and the service is consistently great. I come here a couple of times a week, and every visit has been amazing. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a premium hookah spot with great vibes and top-tier hookah!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from Dylan at the Chevy Giant in Merrillville!

Outstanding service, amazing food, and incredible people!
After a long day at work, there’s nothing better than unwinding somewhere you know you're going to be taken care of, and the team at the Merrillville Chili’s always delivers.
The food was hot, fresh, and hit the spot—whether you’re dining in or grabbing carry-out, they make sure everything is top-notch. But what really makes this location special is the genuine hospitality and friendship.
A massive shout-out to Antonio, Cliff, and Zarrick! These guys go above and beyond with excellent customer service, great energy, and true professionalism. They’re a huge part of what makes this team so amazing.
If you’re looking for a great meal and even better service in the area, definitely go check them out. You won't be disappointed! 🌶️✨“
