“We love Big Time, we frequent often enough. their rotating menu always has a little surprise every week, and this week they FINALLY brought back my favorite burger, The Mookie. We went for dinner last night, and got to enjoy the patio to eat on. Our server, Paige, was a lovely young lady who waited on us. She was amazing, and the food reflected the same. We will always enjoy this spot for a nice draft beer and a delicious burger. Please bring back the Mookie more often though, waiting for over a year was rough. 😂“

“I typically do not post food reviews on these pages, but my visit to Depot Hot Dogs was exceptional. Last night, I sampled their newest menu item, Loaded Bacon and Cheese Fries, which were remarkable. The fries were cooked to perfection, with an ideal balance of ranch and cheese, accompanied by outstanding bacon. I appreciate the family-run aspect of the business. For authentic Chicago flavors, including beef hot dogs and Italian Beefs, Depot Hot Dogs is a recommended destination. They also offer items for dogs. Their support for the Humane Society is commendable, demonstrating consideration for both customers and their pets. While new menu items are available, their exceptional bacon cheese fries stand out.

“We are on vacation at Indiana Dunes and stopped in at Dog Days today after lunch for a treat. Great place, and AMAZING staff! Our kids, ages 5 and 2, changed their minds on what they wanted a couple of times and the two young ladies working were so patient with us as they took our orders. Very clean and a great atmosphere - My kids loved watching the little train overhead. And of course, the ice cream was delicious! Also, they have a family restroom with a changing table, which may not be high on most people’s list but that can be so hard to find in these little specialty shops and as a family with two littles, having those facilities easily available is just a very nice bonus. Highly recommend :)“

“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.“

Wife says the Veggie Quesadilla is tasty with a lot of variety of vegetables, and she likes the IPA too. Steppin classss on Thursdays!“

“We’ve been a few times and service is always extremely friendly and consistent! If it’s a little slow it’s because it’s busy and the kitchen/bar is slammed, no fault of service. Atmosphere is unique and a great use of this industrial space.
Drinks are always delish and pack a punch, worth the price! They definitely get that right which is good for a distillery.
As far as the food goes, the menu is trying to reinvent the wheel. They manage to put an alcohol twist in nearly every dish, when they that don’t need it. For example, it would be nice to have garlic mashed potatoes without a sweet brandy gravy :) Just tastes kinda icky.
However to end on a positive note: Sunday brunch and the fried chicken/biscuits and gravy is one of the best breakfast meals I’ve ever had!!! If they put a fried chicken sammie on their daily menu, I’d consider going more often. I’ll be sticking to their fabulous Sunday brunch instead of going for dinner :)“
