Family Restaurants near Merrillville, IN

“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.“

“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.“

“I have been going to baker square forever it has always been so good!! Recently I had a host who was just the best! Her name was Olivia she made sure she sat us in the perfect spot and even let us chat with her for a second! She has great customer service! Food was excellent as well“

“Attended a private event. We had platters of cottage cheese, coleslaw, and beets to share. I really liked the coleslaw, it was not creamy style. Everyone was served the same plated meals of fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and veggies. I really liked the light, crispy, coating on the chicken. Not greasy at all. I only ate one piece and they provided boxes to take home the rest.“

“Been going here for years.. Love the food and great service and love the bar..“

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.“

“Senior dinner prices absolutely can't be beat. $9.29 includes meal, drink and dessert and they give so much food, you end up with another full meal in doggie bag. Roast beef is delicious. I've also had chicken fingers which were also great. I like the barn setting too - it's cozy and inviting.“

“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.“

“Came to eat with my sister at 3 am and our server Jessica was so sweet even though they where yelling at her across the restaurant because other tables were being impatient knowing that she had a lot of tables make us mad . Other coworkers had a no good actitud at the place towards her. I like the way
She didnot stress herself and was apologizing about anything , we really appreciated your services thank you ??“

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