“Compared to Arby’s in CP, Pops is a different kind of experience! The gentleman taking the order, awesome attitude. Probably one of the best ever drive through I’ve been through. The food is good and it’s my fault I didn’t get the hookup with the peppers and aujus. The service though, terrific! Great attitudes, order was perfect, staff were smiling and happy. I recommend this place.“

“Okay- RUN to Tastee Top. Stop what you’re doing and go. Right now. I literally just ate the best taco I have ever had in my life (I’m from Houston and I have had lots and lots of tacos.) The taco with steak was INCREDIBLE. My husband had a gyro and the meat was soo tender and delicious. My toddler inhaled his cheeseburger. Portion size is wonderful for the price. We ended the date with a frosted animal cookie shake and a brownie al la mode. 10/10 would recommend! I should also note how sweet the staff are. They are all smiles and super helpful. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻“

“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!“

“It's a footloose out of 10“

“everyone was friendly from the time we entered the restaurant. The food was perfect. The owner visited our table, and we felt very welcome and relaxed. our server was Brooke, and she was amazing, answered all of our questions and recommended some of the items on the menu. We will be going back, as there are many more things we want to try!!“

“100 % would come again 🥰 it was my first time ever at the bar n it was a great experience i definitely love that place“

“I have seen this place there since I was young. we were out with some friends and decided to swing in. It is a quaint, little old homey bar. we loved it!!! The building looks like it is original to the town. (I love old vintage buildings, etc). We bought a round of drinks, hung out for a while, shot a game of pool. The customers and the bartender were very friendly!! Be aware they are a cash only bar (they do have an ATM inside) and it is a smoking bar so if you are sensitive to smoke. We will be back!! The one thing I noticed they changed the sign in the parking lot they had for years. I loved how it had a picture of the parking lot and had some cars, but also had a snowmobile and motorcycle parked together. Odd combination....but humorous!! 🤣 We will be back to support this local business!!“

“Linda is very sweet and nice“

“This is my go to restaurant. Love their food, the Mac and cheese is our favorite. Love the drinks. Love the atmosphere. Always have good service. Tonight Dan was our server and ive had him as server plenty of times. He is very friendly, good personality and is always working hard. We will be back for sure.“

“We have been to Bugaboo’s three times now! Love the food, the staff, the atmosphere and will be making this our go to place! The only bad thing I would say is don’t choose the blue cheese dressing (bottled) just ask for more crumbles!“

“Spanky’s is a solid spot overall and definitely worth a visit. I’d give it a strong 4 out of 5.
The drinks were the highlight—well made, consistent, and exactly what you want when you’re out for a good time. The atmosphere also stood out in a good way. It had a lively, comfortable vibe that made it easy to relax and enjoy the evening without feeling too crowded or overwhelming.
Service was another positive. Attentive without being overbearing, and everything came out in a timely manner. You could tell they were on top of things, which always makes a difference.
Food was a bit more middle-of-the-road. We tried the jalapeño poppers, and while they were decent, they didn’t quite stand out compared to everything else. Not bad by any means, just not the star of the show.
All in all, Spanky’s delivers where it counts—great drinks, good service, and a fun atmosphere. If you go in expecting a bar-first experience with solid food on the side, you’ll leave happy.“

“I just want to say I frequently visit Culvers in Cedar Lake and am very impressed. My food is always made fresh and hot as well as very tasty. Also, props to the whole staff who are among the best and most COURTEOUS I have ever encountered Keep up the good work CULVERS OF CEDAR LAKE“

“Great owners. Crystal was a great host and bartender. Smart too recognized bisches“

“Love this place a lot, most of their food is great, only complain I have is the brisket , the brisket is bland , every time I go , I order a side of brisket to see if anything changed, it’s the same bland brisket .. their turkey is amazing, burnt ends are good, ribs are alright .. sides are good except for the coleslaw .. needs some work, it isn’t very wet, it’s like raw veg with a splash of sauce“

“The Crown Point location is great. I prefer their food over any of their other locations. Not sure if it's because it's the newest site to open but I hope that the quality of the food and service does not change. A solid 4 stars!“

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

“Love the Saginaki. Blts. Soup. Cheeseburgers. All of it❤️“

“Samantha was an awesome server !!!“

“First time ordering the Italian beef sandwiches and I will definitely be getting from now on. The bread was soft, the neat was tender and not salty which is amazing because my family has heart problems. The au jus was perfect, not salty at all . My family and I absolutely loved it. P.s thank you for not putting salt on the fries they were excellent.“
