“Went through the drive-thru on 11/18 a little after 7pm. The girl working the drive-thru was very nice and smiled and the girl who brought the food out to my car was also very pleasant. Food was hot and fresh and tasted great! I will definitely be back!“

“The breakfast selection is enormous and you receive a lot of food for a low price! Many people don't realize that there is a lunch menu and also a dinner menu. I don't know how this restaurant can supply large portions at a good price. They have an all-you-can eat fish dinner on Friday's and they have extended hours until 8pm on Friday and Saturday. We are going to try the Rib special tonigh! P.S. Great waitresses and staff!“

“Tonight we dined at Don Quijote for the first time. We had read several reviews saying the place was great and the food was awesome. It was everything the reviews stated! We went over the top too. Cafe Capuccino to start, Jamon Serrano appetizer, tapas combo platter dinner, the red fish special, flan for dessert with coffee. The couple we dined with was equally pleased and will be back, as will we.“

“We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and Jordan and Nicole were so welcoming. They helped make suggestions on coffee and tea. The drinks were very well made and Jordan asked if we would like the banana bread we bought warmed up. Such nice personal touches in the coffee shop. Warm and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended if you are ever in the area.“

“My son Tyler has been coming here for us and Krissy the owner is AMAZING!!!! She is very knowledgeable about her products and is a very sweet person. We love the shakes and teas. We can't wait to start trying out some of the other products Legacy has to offer too. Thanks for making us feel special every time we come here!!!“

“Delicious and healthy food in a friendly environment, a must! My favorite is the Matcha Mantra smoothie.“

“18th Street Brewery has excellent craft and Rye! Stopped in for the first time and really enjoyed the Pilsner. Support this Woman Owned Business and buy local. We’ll try the food next time. The bar keep Bruce was a lot of fun too! I highly recommend 18th Street Brewery in Miller Beach for craft brewed beer and distilled spirits.“

“My mother in law and I visited aftermath and we had the absolute best time! Mandy and Alaina were so welcoming, friendly, and attentive. We did wine flights, and also taste tested the slushes and everything was delicious. We didn’t get the food, but saw it come out and everything looked really good! Restaurant was clean, dog friendly. I would recommend going here 100%. The service was the most memorable part! Thank you Mandy and Alaina, for making our trip to Valpo amazing!“

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Caribbean Roots to deliver food for an event of 120 people, and I was impressed by their professionalism, organization, and the quality of their food. We ordered the Dominican chicken quarters and the cilantro lime coleslaw. Everything was packaged perfectly for transport, and the entire order was ready on time. The staff was friendly and efficient, and it was clear they take pride in what they do. The feedback from guests was overwhelmingly positive — everyone loved the food! Delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. I highly recommend Caribbean Roots! Great team, great food!“

“We have been to Journeyman's Three Oaks campus several times and loved it enough to make a trip to the Valparaiso location. It was great. What a beautiful facility and the food was wonderful. We especially enjoyed the service provided by Jackson. He was super attentive and made the best drinks while giving recommendations. 10/10 will go again!“

“Delicious smoked meats. Had the Blue Velvet, my daughter had the Jammin Piggy, sides were coles slaw and tater tots, everything was terrific. Could not finish the sandwiches, enough for my daughter to bring home for dinner. Very generous portions. Cannot wait to get back to Valparaiso to visit PSM!“

“12/1/25 I decided to give them a shot and I must say that my experience was truly delightful and I was completely amazed at how fast my food came out I ordered the eggs Benedict and the eggs were poached to perfection this place has the potential to be one of my top spots, for take out I went with the corn chowder soup to enjoy when I got home and after putting it in my microwave sometime later that evening its was definitely worth the wait and had my taste buds dancing next time I'm in Valpo I'm definitely stopping by thank you for such a wonderful experience and I need that recipe...“

“fantastic dinner ! chicken best I've had, the cocktails wow very tasty not some sugar water and booze. The best I've had, if you like a great drink and appetizer make this your stop.“

“Food is always good and has the most beautful hostess in the state“

“Schoop’s Hamburgers leans fully into its 50’s-inspired diner vibe, and it works. The retro feel, bright colors, and constant hum of activity create a fun, bustling atmosphere that makes the place feel lively the moment you walk in. It’s the kind of spot where families, regulars, and burger-hunters all blend together naturally.

The burger itself had all the makings of something great: a generous patty, a good sear, and that classic diner-style build that promises nostalgia on a plate. The texture and freshness were there, and you can tell they know how to craft a solid burger. The only thing missing was the seasoning. With just a bit more flavor or a touch more salt and pepper, this could easily be an outstanding diner burger.

Still, Schoop’s nails the experience. If you’re in the mood for a lively throwback diner with character and charm, it’s worth stopping in — and with just a slight improvement in seasoning, their burgers could truly shine.“
