It is a nice and relaxing environment and our server, Kelli, was so kind and helpful. If you haven't yet given them a try please do so.“

“Leroy's has been a local favorite for years 🏍️❤️. Some people might think it’s just a biker dive bar, but I totally disagree 🤔. It’s actually a welcoming community spot that’s always clean and friendly 🌟. There’s a separate area for family dining 🍽️👨‍👩‍👧‍👦, and the food is really tasty 😋. You can hang out, play pool 🎱, and chat with friends without any pressure from the staff to keep ordering drinks or food 🙌. Plus, it’s open during the day ⏰, making it perfect for everyone. Leroy has done an amazing job keeping this place safe and enjoyable for the community 👏. Thank you, Leroy! 💛“

“Been eating here for years and recommending them for years if you want the best burger in Chesteron/Porter area. Some other favorites are the bacon wrapped poppers, steak or chicken flatbread, soups, and the only place I know that still has homemade pub chips. Just had my first ever minor issue with a cook on burgers and the owner addressed it and made it right. I am looking forward to their new bi-weekly specials to try some new items. Gastro 49 customers for life.“

“Definitely recommend...this place is awesome!“

“Today we stopped in to hangout and eat after Sketching the wonderful homes on Beverly Shore. 1st the staff was amazing in accommodations for our group. Dawn was super awesome with us. Then the foooood.. Oh my goodness. It was delicious and very well presented. Thank you to everyone and you'll be seeing us all back again soon.“

“Never been- walked in and owner at the bar ready to help! Super friendly and very personable . Food even better !!!!!!! Cajun chicken pasta best in area 💙“

“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.“

“Perfect, no wait...lunch!“

“If you are thinking of hosting a party of any kind, this is a beautiful venue. The food and staff are amazing. They go out of their way to make everything perfect. Do not hesitate to make this your 1st choice! We will be back!“

“Great venue with reasonable pricing. 4 of us went to a comedy show. 2 hours of entertainment for $10 bucks. We laughed so much and left thinking we would definitely return.“

“Had it delivered, came nice and hot with plenty of everything. I love their portion sizes for the dips (but if they could deliver ranch outside the box so it’s not hot, that would be awesome).
Had the Italian sandwich, chicken tenders and obviously the twists!

Always amazing, been eating Ajs since my family moved here in 1998… still just as yummy!!!!“

“Highly recommend! We had Holly for our server and it was amazing! Food was amazing and she was hilarious! 10/10 recommend and you won’t be disappointed with her or the food!“

“Best thing about Northside is metal Mondays!! The best pizza in the region and metal/punk music @ 5pm cheap drinks and killer food. Definitely check this place out.“

“We used the drive-thru to order lunch on 6/8/26 on our vacation road trip. This was one, if not the most curtious and well done drive-thru orderings I've ever experienced. I believe the gentelman that took our order was Nathan. He was patient, helpful, efficient, polite, kind...all that through a microphone!
The food was also, as always, top notch fastfood fare. Culver's burgers and fried cheese curds are some of the best!! Making me hungry thinking about it.“

“Me and my fiancée both had the chicken wraps (Sunday special) . I added bacon and chose ranch and added the delicious fries and they did not disappoint, high quality flavor and ingredients 10 out of ten highly recommend… (my girl got the honey mustard and would recommend) . Everything is awesome here .“

“Had a great experience at LongHorn Steakhouse. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff was friendly and attentive without being overbearing.
The food really stood out—everything was cooked perfectly and came out hot and fresh. The steak was seasoned just right and incredibly tender, and you can tell they take pride in the quality of their food. Even the sides and bread were on point.
Overall, it was a solid dining experience with great service, great food, and a comfortable vibe. Definitely a place I’d come back to and recommend to others.“

“Our Mother's Day brunch reservations were accommodated, although service was somewhat delayed due to high volume. The food quality was exceptional, with the exception of the biscuits and gravy, which were not the best we have experienced. However, all other dishes were phenomenal. The owner's thoughtful gesture of providing complimentary chocolate-dipped strawberries and cookies for my daughter was greatly appreciated. I highly recommend this establishment for brunch.“

“Went here for my birthday, However left very disappointed.. Orders came out wrong, food was not very good. Was charged gratuity but did not have 6 people. Asked for rolls multiple time never received.Drinks were never refilled when requested. mozzarella sticks still had flour on them. Dissatisfied will never go back!! 0 out of 10 do not recommend!!“

“The BEST Fried Pickles and Wings anywhere.“

“We go because of Ricky Thompson. The man is the best!!!!“
