“Best Baby ribs ever oh my my my Jenny Craig is mad at Me - but each calorie was worh it I am going back 4 more ribs“

“We had Lexy as our server tonight, and she was amazing! She was very attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Overall, she made our experience great, and we truly appreciated her excellent service!“

“My husband and I tried Semento's for the first time last night. We were amazed by the entire experience. We were greeted by friendly staff, seated promptly, waitress (Stephanie L) provided excellent service, and the food was hot and delicious!! We ordered an app, my husband had the prime rib, I ordered the patty melt, and we both had a cocktail. Everything was delicious! The music was a little loud but appropriate for the atmosphere. We could still chat and enjoy our meals. The portions were hearty and I took home the leftovers with actual intention of eating later because it was so good! Cost was reasonable for the amount of food we received. Everything was clean, even the restroom. We will definitely return!“

“The experience and food is incredible. Scott could cook a leather boot, make it his style and I would most likely enjoy that as well. Once you try the bistro salad and see how well everything it pairs together. You’ll want to try everything he has to offer. They have a great team there and their staff really make it a great meal! 10/10 every time we go“

“Good food, hot and fresh. $15 for a cheeseb rger... that's two patties with cheese and the toppings you enjoy, little fries that are fresh potatos cut into fries...even though they call it little its plenty and a tasty milk shake. Very good. Recommended from me.“

“We stopped in. Mgr is so on top of things, keeping workers motivated. Had big drive thru order so he told us it would be a min. Talking to his crew, he is very good at being a manager.“

“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.“

“Great burgers and cool bartenders like Carrie !“

“The service here is wonderful. greatly improved since the new owner tool over. everything is fresh and the staff is very friendly and efficient. Definitely the best DQ in Porter County!!“

“I live nearby this Culver’s and visit it frequently. I also walk around the neighborhood with my dog and pass in front of the store almost daily. When it snows they never shovel the sidewalk that runs parallel to LaPorte Avenue. This is annoying and dangerous. It’s a tiny strip of walk between two businesses to the east and 1st Source Bank to the west, all of which keep their sidewalks cleared of ice and snow. I suggest and hope that for the safety of pedestrians Culver’s management addresses this potentially serious issue. Thank you.“

“Based out of a gas station! Refuel and refresh all at once after a long trip back from illinois👍. It's just under 2 hours to get to but worth it for a slider fix. Quick service and plenty of seating to keep your car free from the stray onion.“

“Staff did a great job getting those cones out today on Free cone day! Line was past the YMCA and the kept it moving! I had maybe a 5-7min wait. Great job!!“

“I ordered my sons birthday cake from here. Didn’t even know Dairy Queen made sheet cakes! I was so impressed with the design you guys did for my sons cake! It was everything I thought it could be!!!!! ♥️ We had his party at sk8 world and it went perfect for his day!!!!“

“Jada the front cashier today was so amazingly friendly and attentive to all her customers! The food was really good and fresh also, but what makes the restaurant is the smiling friendly faces! Great job Wendy's!“

“This Applebee's is super! Staff is wonderful. Food is great! We stopped at the one in South Bend & after we were seated no one came by for 15 min & it was not busy at all at 2:30 in the afternoon. So we decided to keep driving. Stopped in at this WONDERFUL Applebee's in Valparaiso. Can't say enough good things!!! Thank you- it's been a rough day after a funeral, but you all were so pleasant- we greatly appreciate it.“
