Family Restaurants near Merrillville, IN

“An intimate setting for size. I will say their menu is extensive. You could bring a diverse group here and most would find something they wanted to eat. The pizza I had was ok, I have a feeling it would have been better on a larger sized crust. The fettuccine was good enough I suppose but the Alfredo sauce was sweet which wasn't quite my thing. If I could have done it over again I would have ordered something different. The staff was wonderful which I feel like was really the best part of the experience. If you are looking for a location to eat and don't want to get tied into a set menu this place could help you out in a pinch.

Parking: Plenty of parking for the space.“

“Came here on a Sunday afternoon.
From the hostess to the waitress, everyone was friendly. We ordered steak and potato, and both were absolutely delicious. The steak was cooked to our liking, and the baked potato was big and good. What caught our eye was the old Mason Jars used for beverages, large and classic. It was definitely an enjoyable experience.“

“Always a great time and great food and environment.“

I ordered a carry out pizza when I ordered my in restaurant meal i the pizza was made wrong when I called back. They said there was nothing they could do. so I bought a pizza we could not eat and had to give away“

“I had never been in or even knew about Bob Evans. My wife made me come. I had breakfast. Started off with a very friendly and helpful hostess. Then a server took our order. Even better than the hostess and that's saying something. Tabitha took our order, helped me decide by giving great suggestions. Excellent choices. I ended up with a sausage biscuit with home fries, egg and gravy. It was good. Cooked just right. And did I tell you that I felt like home. I wish there was a Bob Evans in my state.“

“I VISITED THIS LOCATION ON 06/15/24 WHEN IT FIRST OPENED. I DIDNT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS BECAUSE I WAS THE ONLY ONE THERE AT 7:05AM. THE PLACE WAS THE CLEAN, THE SERVER WAS NICE AND MY FOOD WAS PLENTIFUL FOR UNDER $20.00. SO AGAIN WITH ME GOING WHEN THE RESTAURANT JUSTS STARTED TO OPEN MADE MY EXPERIENCE PRETTY GOOD AND POSITIVE.“

My friends and I came on a Monday and the food was amazing, but the service just made it the best experience! Thank you for a great service, you are an awesome cool dude Ramiro !! ❤️🙌🏽“

“I went out to visit Indiana a couple months back. I thoroughly enjoyed that atmosphere. The old timey look on the outside to it completely re-done on the inside. I found that the servers were extremely friendly and the food was quite good. I was impressed by the fact that they accommodate food allergens and will work with you by making something that works for you. Thank you for a wonderful experience.“

“My carryout order has been messed up the last few times and the current manager is extremely rude.“
