28 Best American Restaurants in Merrillville

“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!“

“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.“

“Talk about a restaurant that gives you that feeds you warm and cozy food but make you feel so warm and cozy from the service as well...ANGIES IS IT!!! This is a MUST GO TO PLACE!!! I LOVE THIS PLACE there is absolutely nothing on the menu that I haven't tried that just isn't DELICIOUS!!! From the time you walk in until the time you leave this is a resturant that gets that A++++ rating!!! Go check it out for yourself!!! P.S. The chicken n waffles are AMAZING!!!“

“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.“

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

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

“great food, big portions and great prices“

“They don't have enough people working here. You might be waiting a while for your order. It's best to call in. But then you gotta worry about how long was your order ready before you came to pick it up. I really hate food that was fried, but it's been sitting in a bag steaming.“

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

“On this day that my family and I went, everything was great except one thing. It was extremely warm inside! Maybe I should say hot in there. The whole restaurant was super warm! It felt like a sauna! It was very uncomfortable to eat in there. Other customers mentioned it to the employees also. I know it's a bit cold outside but it almost made me want to go eat outside in the car.. we had to hurry up and eat to leave lol“

“the bartenders are AMAZING!! 😉🥰“

“Service was great , good food and fast :)“

“I've bought items for years. Excellent quality and taste. I moved an hour away and it's been years since I've visited. I was sad to see some of my favorite sandwiches no longer on the menu. I ordered another favorite and it was just as delicious as the last time I ordered it.“

“Food 10/10, service was great we had a small group last Sunday for a lunch date. We had an amazing waitress by the name of Patrice, she was on top of her game, we really didn’t have to ask for refills she kept them coming! A time was had……“

“I have always liked Bob Evans but this particular day there was a young lady there by the name of Shay Davis. She was absolutely wonderful. She was extremely knowledgeable and personable with everyone that she came in contact with. My order was correct, hot and very enjoyable. Because of Ms. Shay I will definitely be back to this location and tell everyone that I know about this location. She should be moved up to General Manager because she definitely knows her stuff.“

“1st. Thk you Mr Steven, (server) 1st & TOPS: 4your great service friendly disposition and always making us feel like a part of the Golden Corral family. We give you thumbs up for always staying on top of your tables and making sure customers & ourselves have our drinks filled to the rim. LOL. Other Servicer’s We have had personally the pleasure to sit in their section & experience. We would love to thank you for your outstanding & warm welcoming service. Thank you Mr Daniel, Patrick, Becky & Vanessa. I’m sure in time we will spread ourselves to the other servers whom are familiar with our faces and welcoming. 2nd: Thumps Up to Victor & Matt for their outstanding performance in the cooking Station. MATT: We call Matt the “Steak Man” Thk you Matt 4 the delicious rightly cooked steak. As well as going above and beyond to satisfy not only myself but other customers with the delicious chicken today. VICTOR: Ensuring your staff in a friendly and professional mannerism that the food trays are filled and staying warm. Thank you for your warm, friendly welcoming us to your Golden Corral also making us feel like part of the family. No matter how busy Victor may be, upon seeing us there goes the wave of the hand “HELLO” Eddie: Never fails to welcome his customers to Golden Corral with the warm friendly smile. As we’ve noticed Eddie jumping in to assist his staff to keep the tables clean (super busy)and customers satisfied. Rubie: (Manager); We need more managers like Ruby, who is not afraid to jump in and get her hands dirty. Rather she’s in the cooking salad section. She’s not afraid to spread herself and/or pick up a broom to sweep. Thank you for your warm welcoming and your friendly positive disposition. And from what we’ve noticed you are ready to hear customers concerns. Sadly to say some customers will say whatever they have to say to get a free meal. Yes, I noticed this with a customer in their body language and their contendence. For what it’s worth: Yes; I have a large corporate of 30+ years of customer service/management experience and now in the counseling area. Thank you, Golden Corral for making us feel like a part of the family and very comfortable, enjoying our food and my delicious salads Last but not least: Bakery section; We’re not sure what her name is possibly “Mrs. Jones”.!!!!! And I apologize for having to describe her: Light-skin woman, wear’s eye glasses. I have to keep my husband away from this section. Her delights are truly a delight to my husband‘s stomach. As fast as she makes them is as fast as they go! She’s a very friendly, warm, welcoming, bakery lady. Love this women. And her section always kept up clean. Thank You - Golden Corral Gus & Nancy“

“Anthony was an amazing server! He was very attentive throughout our visit and kept us smiling with his fun sense of humor. I mentioned that I was the only one at the table who liked pickles, and he made sure my burger was loaded with them—such a thoughtful touch! He brought great energy to the table and made our breakfast experience so enjoyable. Highly recommend asking for Anthony if you visit!“

“A “food delivery person” messed up our order, or stole it. Hard to tell. Cleo and his staff completely took care of the entire situation. And our dinner was incredible. I was blown-away by the care they provided us. I’ll continue ordering from Chili’s! Don't let a couple bad eggs keep you from a great dinner. 100% ordering again very soon! Make sure to dine-in or pick up!“

“So, let me start with the restaurant was clean and organized.No visits to the rest room.Food was good.Now service Waitress very snappy.Hayley,rushed us to order.I ask to change a condiment for my limited verbal son during my initial order right after I told her what i wanted and then my son.She said but you said blue cheese.I said thats okay.When it was time to pay she rushed us and then left with a audible sigh. The Manager came by and ask was I ready.I gave it to her.No intentions not to pay here to review.Then she the server came back and confronted me, because her Manager told her I felt rushed.She had an attitude and said rudely I have other tables I wasnt rushing you etc....Customer service horrible.I informed the Msnager but Mayley had an attitude on 3/1/24 @5:38pm.The attitude started with my initial order and me ordering water.I drink detox water no pop at home my choice.Just because people ask for water doesnt mean one cant afford a beverage and a tip.Please train your servers customer service and not to confront customers.Theres a difference betwreen confronting and apologizing.Hayley was unproffessional and lacked proper server performance Netcastnews review by Kia“
