50 Best American Restaurants near Winfield

“My wife and I had not been here in about a year. We would get AYCE lake perch, which they understandably don't offer anymore. However, the YELLOW Lake Perch dinner is absolutely the best in the area. The filets are perfectly breaded and pan fried. We also got a side of 2 walleye filets prepared the same way. Just as good with the distinctly walleye taste. We were both in the mood for coleslaw and fries. After we left, neither of us could figure out why it took so long to go back. We had a great, friendly server (Lindsey) who was new, but she was awesome. We also got to chat with Cindy (the owner) for a while. The place is not smokey at all and not very busy for a Friday night. My only complaint is their social media outreach. I like to look at menus before I visit a restaurant. But that's just me. We will be back to try other offerings, highly recommended.“

“Every time we come to Portage, we’re met with smiles. Claudia is one of the nicest waitresses ever. Comes and checks on her customers regularly. 5 stars in my opinion.“

“Good food every time we go and always get good service even when they are busy! They serve lunch all day which is perfect for those who arent breakfast lovers like me but your family wants to go out for breakfast! Prices are very reasonable“

“Twelve Islands was my favorite family restaurant in Crown Point… Even though I don’t live there anymore when I head that way I like to stop in… My daughters loved going there and loved the lemon rice soup…I occasionally got the chicken livers and the calves liver with onions and bacon…. LOL 😂 Oh and the Chefs salad was always great, Greek style…. It’s always good there… I would definitely recommend it…! 5 STARS ✨“

I LOVE THIS PLACE there is absolutely nothing on the menu that I haven't tried that just isn't DELICIOUS!!!

“What a great experience renting the event space for my son and his fiancé’s wedding shower! The space, the food, and the staff were wonderful! Highly recommend 🤩“

“My friends and I ate breakfast there the other day. They had remodeled the place. It was brighter& cheery. The only thing I would recommend is bring in some round tables for groups of 6. That makes it Easier for talking & socializing while you eat. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. Our meals came quick & hot. The store area has many nice things but set up too crowded to actually look well to the point you might miss something you would actually buy. I would actually redo the set up of - how you display the products in the store area to be less congested. It’s just too overwhelming to see it all well in its current set up.“

“We have eaten here so many times and never ever been disappointed. The food is always incredible, best in CP if you ask me, and wonderful service.“

“The short rib, wings, and side salad was delicious. Great presentation, flavorful, and my waitress Dawn was very professional and extremely nice.“

“Disappointing..the chili/koney sauce was very salty to the point it was nesrly inedible. ..I think since it was late afternoon, it simmered to the point where it became concentrated due to evaporation and it needed some liquid to even out the extreme salt content... the dogs were good, the chili cheeseburger was almost impossible to eat..so messy. Fries were.probably the highlight of my visit the lady behind the counter was excellent though 👍👍 Great service I probably would try them again though....possibly the saltiness was an anomaly“

“Great experience at the club and nice staff .“

“I'm originally from Northwest Indiana we came up on a visit so I've been wanting a gyro a very badly since we don't have them in Kentucky! I ordered a gyro player for myself and Rib tip platter for my husband and my husband was completely impressed as he is from Kentucky and he says it was the best rib tips he's had. Gyro was really good just wish I had more feta cheese to it a little bit more spice within the meat but I was very pleased to have a gyro“

“The upstairs bartender, Aaron C. does the work of 2 bartenders. I sat at the bar...he served me my lunch. He was very friendly and fast. The upstairs was loaded with like 50 guests from a baseball team? So he was VERY busy. But that didn't stop him from speed, accuracy and friendliness! Best bartender ! He deserves a raise!“

“Linda is very sweet and nice“

“I visited One 13 North Saturday night with my boyfriend. It was completely packed but we were sat and greeted fast. Our server was very attentive and knew the menu. I noticed all the employees working as a team! I had the parmesean encrusted filet he had the chicken parmesean sandwich, both 10/10 along with a few of the fall cocktails but the carmel apple mule was my absolute favorite! Gail was an absolute delight! We will be back!! Thank you guys!“

“Best French dip sandwich, chicken and rice soup, waiting to get my Nutella and banana crapes!“

“The Crown Point location is great. I prefer their food over any of their other locations. Not sure if it's because it's the newest site to open but I hope that the quality of the food and service does not change. A solid 4 stars!“

“Great breakfast and Mexican cuisine. Friendly staff and owner.“

“Good food exceptional service unbeatable prices. orders cook fresh in hot. Support this Establishment whenever you're in the area.“

“First, the service was very good. The bartender was quick to pick up on whether we wanted a drink or we wanted a menu. The food was great, as always. I have to eat something when I come in here. I just can't pass it up.

Parking: There is a lot of parking, but you may have to walk.“

“The porter my partner had was quite good, but my Santa's Boot was only okay. I enjoyed my fried chicken sandwich quite a bit and the additional spice dusting on the bun added just the right amount of heat. Her chicken stromboli was very good, enough for leftovers later that evening. Second time we've been here and we'll likely come back.

Parking: It's almost easier to get here coming off of I-65 as opposed to coming off of US 30.

Kid-friendliness: Kids are restricted after 9 pm per a notice on the door.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair entry should not be a problem and the tables are spaced enough for good access.“

“Best Gyros in Merrillville! Don't forget the Chilli Cheese Dogs or Pizza Puffs! This is Old School Pirate Food...“

“the bartenders are AMAZING!! 😉🥰“

“Call it Dante’s, call it Gators. This place is a legacy to the area. The bartenders are experienced and their personalities are the best! Shout out to Cheryle and Wade. From the chicken family pack to the pizza, Gators food is excellent as well. If a band is playing on the weekend, this place will be busy and you are sure to have a fun time. 😁“

“The food, especially for what you pay, is great. I usually get a Buffalo Chicken Cheese Steak Combo, it’s $12.99, is the entire width of a styrofoam to go container and is so damn stuffed with meat you need a fork to eat it cause there’s no damn way you can eat it without like half the meat falling back in the container.
My wife usually gets their Gyro plate and it’s the same deal, so much meat that it’s basically 2-3 meals for like $16.
Their decor is pretty simple, and honestly if they had to choose between great food at very reasonable prices or some swanky decor I’m glad they went with the food.“

“Skylar was very friendly and helpful in recommendations on the menu. Very attentive with refills on both drinks and rolls. Went above and beyond in making sure our dining experience was the best possible. Will be back again hopefully she'll be our server“

“Great food great service/atmosphere and good morals. Lost my wallet in there for two weeks with 800 dollars in it and the owner made sure to get it back to me. Besides that great honesty amazing bbq eats at this spot, i prefer the smoked turkey, but my family really liked everythings they got. Everything’s good here find out for yourself!!“

“I LOVE schoops! Schoops is an amazing place if you just want to chill out with your friends or fam. The food here is amazing, many options then just a burger and fries! The milk shakes are just amazing, many many flavors! Customer service is great, even at its busiest. I highly recommend!“

“Tanya is the best and funniest waitress in the world. That Tanya lady also sounds like hana Montana🤩🤩🤩“

“This restaurant was awesome. We walked in w a whole soccer team and parents and was accommodated. The owner and staff were very attentive and the food was amazing. The prices were very low for the quality and quantity of food you receive. It is all around a great value.“

“Service was great , good food and fast :)“

“I’ve been going to Sip for years…Love both their food & drinks. The Nutella latte with Oat Milk is to die for. The staff is always welcoming and friendly no matter how busy they get. Give this place a try 🙂“
