“First time trying Albano’s and I have to say it was the best meal I have had in a long time, possibly ever. My boyfriend and I went for my birthday and it did not disappoint. The bread, caramelized onion tortellini pasta, and cheesecake were amazingly good. 10/10 recommend! And the staff was so wonderful and attentive. We are already planning our next visit!“

“Chris and his staff from Burgerhaus put on our event for the Valparaiso Girl's Basketball team. It was our end of the year banquet. Because of the size of the party, 110 people, they were unable to facilitate us in their space, however, they were able to use LePeep's space for the event. Chris coordinated everything with us as we went through the planning process. He was thoughtful, polite, kind, accommodating, and quick to help solve any issues. The food was DELICIOUS! It was cooked on-site, was hot and so so tasty! We had sliders with all the fixins, mac & cheese, salad with many dressings, and, of course, their delectable French fries! There was PLENTY of food for everyone. They allowed us to bring our own cake for dessert. They accommodated our screen and other technology that we brought in. Chris and his staff helped us to move the tables and chairs whevever we needed to in order to allow everyone to sit where they wanted and still see the presentations. If this wasn't my daughter's senior year, I would be contacting Chris and his phenomenal staff for another banquet!“

“The coziest burger place in all the land! Great monthly specials, good drink selections.“

“Very fun place, our waitress was the sweetest and very considerate. Tried going two other times and couldn't make it. I'm so glad I was able to get in, dine upstairs, and dinner was excellent. It was so nice having grilled octopus instead of fried calamari. Lamb chops were perfect, and I had the "scalabet" for my entree. We finished it off with a cookie skillet. I was STUFFED, so it's worth it.“

“I love the atmosphere and the personal touch of the owners! I take my grandchildren all the time to make sure they know about this hidden treasure in our community!“

“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.“

“First visit & they indicated the menu was new. Has several vegan option. Offers fresh squeezed OJ from machine. Had the Carrot Zinger juice, including carrot, ginger lime & apple. Was really good & heavy with ginger, which I love. Ordered the Forest Hash with mushrooms, leaks potatoes & peas. Replaced the eggs with curried tofu scramble.for $1.50 upcharge. I was a little apprehensive about the curry part of the scramble but ended up really liking it. Was a creamy comforting flavor. There were some reviews indicating portions were not enough, but it seems they have improved this because we were satisfied. Specials included Vegan Blueberry BBQ jackfruit sandwich and vegetable soup. I included a few pics of the menu, but a few Vegan items to note are oatmeal, scrambles, vegan chili, falafel sandwich, portabella salad (- cheese & dressing..have to ask for vegan dressing options).“

“omg! Applie Pie Chia is now my favorite drink ever!! I can't believe this little treasure was hiding here this whole time“

“Kipkates did a great job with grandbaby's shower cake. I took a picture of a cake, and they made it identical to the picture. I wanted a more expensive 3 tier, and they talked me into a more affordable 2 tier that turned out wonderful. It tasted delicious! Great experience!“

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

“We sat at the bar for an early dinner on Saturday. My husband and I both had a beer and dinner. We are vegan so it was wonderful to have a place where we have a choice about what to order.

Um,um, very flavorful and good. I also had the lunch special Fried pork chops, cornbread dressing, cranberry sauce &“

“We had a great dinner at Olive Garden Monday evening! The food was good, service was good and we were able to enjoy the conversation. The only things that could have made it any better was the chicken could have been cook a little less for the chicken parmigiana ( it was too done, dry, and hard to cut) and more toppings could have been put on the salad in the first serving so we didn’t have to ask for them.“

“I randomly chose this restaurant as a meet up spot for friends who enjoy Thai food. Found just a spot off of Route 30 in Merrillville, I was so happy with the experience. Outside it looks like it was once a different restaurant but inside transports you into an absolutely lovely dining room. I had my go to Tofu pad Thai. I had been warned that their spice level may be higher than the average American version of Thai. No problem for me. It was delicious. Too many places make this dish overly sweet and this had that great balance of sweet, salty and sour. Our table also enjoyed various fried rice dishes, potstickers and a panang curry. Everyone enjoyed their food. Service was excellent. Our waiter did a great job making sure wedding had time to order. It is a small restaurant with a small staff but our food timing and service were spot on. I definitely would go back and I found a new “happy place.”“

“It was bug in my food , I will never eat there again“

“Great little place to grab a quick bite! Vegan options clearly marked and the staff know what "vegan" means... not trying to be snarky but I have been to several restaurants in northwest Indiana whose staff clearly don't actually know what it means when you ask if something is vegan lol“

“Dining in at Chili's just isn't what it used to be. We were pleased with the food and our service. A male server, who was simple yet efficient in his care of his tables. We came on a weekday for a late lunch. But the ambiance was so blah. Employees were having sidebar conversations, diners were speaking loudly and inappropriately. Meanwhile, others were on cell phones having conversations, and others were playing videos on phones without earbuds. There was just a lot going on. I'll definitely do takeout moving forward, but won't dine in.“
