    Hotdogs are served with onion, relish, mustard, ketchup, and hot peppers. You can also get a Chicago dog

    Fast, friendly service for an amazing price. I came as an out of towner and the staff and some of the regulars gave us a lot of useful information about the area. I was really surprised at how nice everyone was. The fries were really crisp, as were the fish sticks. The hotdogs and hamburgers were also good.

    Daily Specials.

    It's really remarkable that I lived in Gary,IN for 20 years and never tried this place until today. This place is a throwback to the 1950's. A small diner with limited seating, a lunch counter, and fresh, homemade, quality food! I'm sure that's the vibe you'll get as well when you set foot in this place. I had the grilled chicken special w/fries and a drink and a cup of chilli, all excellent! I don't know what it is, but I really enjoy supporting small, mom&pop places like this. Next time I'm going to try their mushroom and swiss burger.(that's my favorite!). The owner says that they only use fresh, never frozen meat and all the burgers are made from scratch. I'm sure I'll be bumping my review up to 5 stars on my next visit. The only thing that keeps me from giving the place a 5 star review right now is, service was just a tad bit slow and its' location in Gary.

    This place is always busy!

    The burgers are fantastic. I ordered a burger & sweet potato fries, but I also got an order of the…read morePhilly cheese steak egg rolls & onion rings to go. The burger was awesome. It was called The Big Time Burger. And believe you me, it was named appropriately!!! High quality beef, mushrooms, onions and cheese...all cooked to perfection. I'm talking melt in your mouth goodness. But.....try the sweet potato fries and you will NEVER go back to regular french fries! The appetizers are also good, but you will need to share as the burgers are MASSIVE! The Wife had the Hot Honey Chicken sandwich with Parmesan fries. It was huge and had the best taste and flavor to it. We sat at the bar and had a drink while we waited for the food. The place was pleasantly busy and had a good vibe. This place definitely did not disappoint. The prices were reasonable and service was good as well. Great burgers, unique drink and appetizer selection, and friendly staff,( especially Julian and Eli), make this a must visit if you're anywhere near Portage, Indiana! I'm so glad that I live near this place!

Came with a steakknife in the burger. The fries were also pretty good. My waitess was very nice. The food came out quickly. Overall, I really enjoyed my lunch.

    My husband has never been here, doesn't drink at all, works from 4am - 4pm everyday and comes home…read moreexhausted never wanting to go anywhere especially a scummy bar. I'm at home with a contractor and a Sheriff shows up at my door with a court summons for my husband saying he is being sued by said bar and Evelyn Bundy wirh Attorney William Jonelis saying he had bounced two checks in 2021. My husband pays his bills and especially does not bounce checks. As I look at the paperwork it was the same name as my husband, but the original address was incorrect, DL, middle initial, as well as date of birth were all incorrect. Basically "IF" this so called person with the same name as my husband bounced these checks, they couldn't find him, so they just pulled the next one out of a hat (he has a very popular name). Their lawyer claims they are taking it off after the embarrassment in front of my contractor and anger it put us through.
