“…had dinner at Stacks tonight with my son and our server (Hannah) was absolutely amazing not only in her knowledge of meals and drinks but also in her attentiveness towards us having a great time there!…thank you again Hannah for making this occasion memorable for us!…“

“Food was absolutely phenomenal! Exceeding all expectations the house delivered with our meal. We ended up snagging the caution roll and the curry and man am I satisfied. Highly recommend. Staff were extremely nice and the owner is absolutely adorable. 10/10 would recommend.“

“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!“

“Always a great experience dining in or carrying out. Love how fresh and delicious the ingredients are. From starters, to salad, wraps, calzones, or pizza. We’re always happy with whatever we get and it’s such a fun place to bring our kids too. Love the beer options as well. Thanks for making us happy customers.“

“Food is Goodwood good pprices“

“Tonight me, my fiance and little sister went to Zao Island and went on the GoKarts. We did all the laps and got called back in. While us three were stopped ready to get out, I heard a mom say “slow down” and her child drove into the back of my cart, didn’t brake at all and I hit my head so hard on the back of my seat. To the mom, you and your little boy are not at fault at all! The workers should’ve said slow down or show them how to brake beforehand. They didn’t even check if any of us were okay afterwards. I think there needs to be an age restriction on the GoKarts or at least a mandatory demonstration for the little ones before they drive. I absolutely love Zao and mean no harm but the workers for the GoKarts needed to handle the situation better for the future. 🫶🏻“

Thanks for the great service Jamie!! Jodi Taylor“

“Disappointing experience. The service was good but the food was not. Bacon wrapped scallops, bacon tasted old. Ribs tasted old and the shrimp was not good.“

“Fun restaurant that honors El Santo's memory and the sport of Lucha Libre. The chicken torta came with fresh avacado slices and was very filling. Atmosphere is comfortable and colorful and there's music but it's not too loud at all. I'm telling all of my friends to come make an order. I will absolutely be back!“

“First time here. Great pizza. Had the 2 slice lunch combo, and shoe bites. More than enough. Will definitely be back!“

“Loved our visit to Brick Street Burrito. Food was So good and service by Bristyle was excellent! Will definitely be back.“

“I love parea. I’ve been here many times. There’s been so many amazing times: sometimes not the best. However; it’s a restaurant and at the end of the day people have their off days! I do miss our favorite food runner…Trinity was always so kind to us even when she was visibly overwhelmed. People come and go though! They have an amazing staff to this day!“

“The staff at Lincoln Flats is always top notch. The best service around.“

“The service here was great! The food was excellent! Definitely coming back! We sat at the bar and watched the chef cook and it was so cool to watch. The entree had just the right acidity along with the color and the presentation was exceptional! I highly recommend them.“

“Valpo Verona has the BEST wings in the area by far. Awesome specials and everything is always fresh and hot. 100% recommend!!“

“It was our first time visiting the Viking Chili Bowl in Valpo. We called ahead for a table since we were a party of 6. Glad we did. Even though the place was packed, we had excellent, friendly service. I was impressed that our food arrived as soon as it did. The food was good. My husband absolutely loved the ham. Portions are big. My granddaughter barely got through a half on one of her pancakes. I had the fish sandwich with Onion rings. Sandwich was standard. I really enjoyed the rings. My husband and I ordered the chili to go for dinner. I have to say, I was disappointed. The only negative. The chili looked very processed. Like it came straight from a can. It was an unappealing brown color and it didn't taste good. Guess I had a sort of expectation from the restaurant's name. Again, everything else was pleasant and enjoyable outside of the Chili. We look forward to returning some time.“

“AMAZING Food and Service👍🏻“

“Had wrote a review a few days ago regarding a coupon not being utilized for a 50% off. I just deleted the review on accident but wanted to update to anyone who had read that. A manager contacted me and apologized for the mistake that had been made. The young man that had taken the order was fairly new and has now been educated on how to process that particular type of coupon. Managment was extremely apologetic and quick to recover and make me feel much better about the situation. They offered a credit for the WHOLE pizza!!! We well absolutely order from Rosati‘s again as that is our favorite pizza and the closest to Chicago as we can get in pizza.“

“Well everyone always tells me if you have bad service once you should always try again. Well I did and guess what service was still bad. With only 9 people in the bar area we asked for menus and drinks. We got the drinks but the bartender was too busy on her phone to come back and take our order. After waiting almost 30 minutes I walked out. I use to go there at least three times a week. Never again.“

“Great burgers and cool bartenders like Carrie !“

“We had El Salto cater our wedding and they were amazing from start to finish!!! We had a taco bar with chicken and beef along with fajita veggies for our vegetarian guests. We also had rice, beans, guacamole, queso, and chips and salsa! Great prices, great communication and just all around a wonderful experience!! Thank you, Caitlin and the El Salto team! A++++++ highly recommend!!“

“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.“

“It is always a wonderful experience here. Food is amazing, atmosphere is pleasant, staff is wonderful, and so friendly. We went for Christmas dinner and weren't disappointed.“

“Today, July 18th, we had my grandson's birthday party at Gelsosomo's Pizzeria Valparaiso, there was 15 of us there & our server Tabitha was awesome! She did an outstanding job! The pizzas were amazing! I highly recommend Gelsosemo’s Pizzeria Valparaiso!“

“Best bar in the region hands down. Love all the bartenders and the atmosphere. This the place to go if you’re tryin to catch a social buzz“

“El Amigo has delivered consistent great food for years.“

“Went today for lunch and was very impressed with the food. Signed up with the app and got a free appetizer. Manager came over and offered complimentary fries and a coupon for another free appetizer our next visit! Waitress took care of us well. Only problem we had was it stank in the restaurant…. lol
Stank like a bad dookie or a clogged drain in the back. Would’ve been 5 stars but it was a bit stinky.“

“11/1/25. The pizza was awesome but the dining experience was not. We arrived about 45 minutes after they opened for the day and the dining area was a mess! Tables weren’t cleaned off and the floor was dirty. It almost looked like the mess was from the night before because the dining room lights weren’t even turned on yet when we walked in. During our stay not a single employee came out to cleaned anything up and there was at least 4 of them that I saw. The gentleman who took our order was very helpful & friendly but the manager on shift that we had a brief encounter with was not! She was unprofessional and rude.“

“My husband and I had such a wonderful time we had just stormed out of a restaurant that ignored 🙁 us for 45 min
And then our server Courtney at chili's made our experience excellent 👌 she was empathetic to our previous experience and when our son started to get impatient because he'd been out longer then expected she held him and comforted him while we ate our dinner being hungry desperately annoyed parents of a tired cranky infant that was huge for us. Thx for making our night memorable in a great way!“

“It was Date Night and we recieved an Applebee's card for Christmas so we decided to cash in. I decided to start with a Cocktail it was a Berry Merry Colada, ( a pina colada with strawberry swirl) and an order of Mozzarella Sticks....Soooo Good!!! For our entrees we decided on Steak. I decided to get the Shrimp 'N' Parmesan Sirloin (medium rare) with Mashed Potatoes and a Squash Medley with Summer Squash and Zucchini. Everything was delicious but unfortunately my boyfriends order did not come out as perfect as mine did. My boyfriend ordered an 8oz.Top Sirlion (medium rare) with double Mashed Potatoes and it came out Raw. The outside was cooked but the inside was not. We Hate to complain but it was literally inedible. So we let our waitress know and she apologized and took it off the bill immediately. We ended up ordering him an order of Boneless Wings ( Honey BBQ) and they were perfect. I know accidents happen so we are not terribly upset and our waitress was an Absolute Rockstar who was juggling a few tables all at once and getting everyone what they needed. She was Incredible and did Everything she could to make it right!! Thank you!! We Appreciate You!!“
