“While I love the home made bread, soup and salads. My name was called so quietly that by the time I looked to see if it was ready my soup was cold. It was already very quite inside. So I guess make employees call orders louder and it'd be perfect. Still we eat my soup and bread when I can from here.“

“The staff and food here are constantly excellent. I've eaten from their normal menu a couple times but their weekly specials usually on social media almost always pull me in. The food always tastes really fresh and hot. The staff is prompt about getting us refills on drinks - also the beer menu is really big. I think they could improve by doing a seasonal swap out of their cocktails. And unless you are fine waiting an hour for a table a reservation is important. But this is only because their food is the best. This is currently the best restaurant in Valpo, or so I think. Cheers!“

“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 :)“

She always checked on us made sure we had enough breadsticks. usually, they’re very stingy with the bread. She made sure Had enough refills on drinks before we were completely empty. We didn’t have to ask for anything. Everything ran very smoothly. She was very sweet very kind. She definitely deserves extreme recognition. We could tell that she cared and was very genuine We made sure to let the manager know, but we wanted to write a review as well. Make sure you get Natasha! Thanks again. There is not one thing that I would do better. A plus service According to my mother. Thank you for making Mother’s Day extra special for three Generations of mothers.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from Dylan at the Chevy Giant in Merrillville!

Outstanding service, amazing food, and incredible people!
After a long day at work, there’s nothing better than unwinding somewhere you know you're going to be taken care of, and the team at the Merrillville Chili’s always delivers.
The food was hot, fresh, and hit the spot—whether you’re dining in or grabbing carry-out, they make sure everything is top-notch. But what really makes this location special is the genuine hospitality and friendship.
A massive shout-out to Antonio, Cliff, and Zarrick! These guys go above and beyond with excellent customer service, great energy, and true professionalism. They’re a huge part of what makes this team so amazing.
If you’re looking for a great meal and even better service in the area, definitely go check them out. You won't be disappointed! 🌶️✨“
