    I don't come here often, but this was the place to go after a long day lol I stopped in about two weeks ago with the bestie for a quick dinner. There were a few groups of people there . The vibe is generally the same, super warm and friendly . They had a 2$ drink special going. I don't remember the name of the it but it was made with tequila, Sprite and some grenadine I believe ... it was delicious. My server Brandy W. was incredibly polite and lovely . I ordered the Fried Green Tomato BLT and my friend ordered the shrimp alfredo. For starters we had the fried pickles which never disappoint. I couldn't decide between fries (I love their fries ) and tots and they let me order both with no up charge (I appreciated that) everything was piping hot and brought out in a timely manner. Our server did wonderful coming to check on us but not hovering . There wasn't a rush to be done quickly and I enjoyed just taking my time to conversate and laugh. I really appreciate how nice things have been each time I've visited. I didn't grab a pic of my friends food because she TUCKED in quickly lol I don't blame her lol. The BLT had fried green tomatoes of course, bacon , lettuce and pimento cheese.. yes you heard me right .. it was DELIGHTFUL! My total came out to 39.55. Thank you guys so much! I'm sure I'll be stopping in again at some point!

    Average burger joint, nothing to knock your socks off, but not to stop us from dining again.

    Had the chicken Cesar salad. It's a huge salad could work for two. It is so fresh and awesome I would recommend it.

The first time a friend and I stopped in, the bartender blatantly overcharged is on everything and then refused to refund our debit card 6, rather refunding cash. There's nothing like trying to run fraud she's on new customers. Tonight, my son and I stopped in. There were only 3 customers at the bar when we sat down, but the bartender was far more interested in talking to 1 of them than addressing us. FYI, it was a less than professional conversation, leaning in much more intimately. When she was done with her chat, she proceeded to the kitchen to hang out for a couple minutes, only popping out to glare at us again while on the phone. Finally, after a couple more minutes with no sign of our bartender, we left. This place offers mediocre food (on a good day) and a pathetic beer selection. While I am all to happy to patronize a local establishment, even with subpar offerings, I'm not going to pay for such pathetic service. Take your money elsewhere. There are many far better establishments who value their customers, all within 5-10 minutes drive. Keep driving when you see the sign for The Sportsman.

    My boyfriend and I stopped here for lunch on our way back to Chicago. It was right off I-90, which…read morewas very convenient. The restaurant itself looks to be in a gutted out auto shop. It's large inside with lots of seating and TVs, and there is a smell of cigarette smoke when you walk in. You do get used to it, but if the smoking diners aren't your jam, there's plenty of outdoor patio seating. I should also note that no one was wearing a mask, which seems common in Indiana, so the outdoor seating is there if you're freaked about covid. The waitress was also tending the bar and was FANTASTIC. She was nice, quick with our drinks, and checked in on us. The prices were lower than most.. a double bloody was under $7! And one of the best i've ever had. We both had the hangover burger, and the meat was fresh and perfectly cooked ( I did catch a glimpse of the kitchen - the cooks looked to be flame broiling their burgers.. yummm) the lettuce and tomato were crisp and juicy, and the fries were the perfect fluffy on the inside- crunchy on the outside texture. They were piping hot and the batter on them was insanely good. If you're traveling across the state line and looking for a quick bite to eat that won't break the bank, check this place out. We will definitely be back when we're in town again.

But if you are looking to sit down and have a meal don't bother. The menu is finger food such as fries, pretzel rolls, and other bar food. The only big meal they offer is a frozen pizza which costs $16.00. So if you are looking for a beer and a meal I would highly recommend going somewhere else. I originally came here because the menu online showed a variety of food which they don't offer any of!

I am not sure if it takes place here or the building right next-door, but they are part of the same venue. Maybe just sniffer names? But the venue is nice, it's dark, which I do like because when you're on stage, the audience isn't something that you can really see so it makes you feel a little more comfortable. The DJs are super nice and friendly and very supportive. There's great singers, mediocre singers, first timers that are really nervous and you can tell but everybody cheers them on! Karaoke is not about being the best singer in the house. No one's gonna get discovered by a record label here. We are all just here to have fun and sing songs we like. The bartender that usually works is super awesome and really nice. The drinks are really good and decently priced and they have a bunch of different snack foods that you can get. In the rockstar karaoke room you can always go next-door and order food and have it brought over . While the rockstar karaoke area just has appetizers. That's been my main experience. I haven't gone there on other nights, but they have a nice stage and sound system with cool lighting and bands. Come and play there. I haven't seen any bands there yet, but I'm definitely interested.

The place is connected to the bar next door so when the show is over you can move over there and keep the fun going. The drinks there are not real expensive. They have tables and booths.

    C'mon! Where else can you see live fish and shoot laser guns by day and nosh on wings and crab legs…read moreby night, all pretty much on the same property?! With Bass Pro Shops and Hooters it's a veritable one-two punch of family entertainment and refreshment! :-P It's been years since I'd been to a Hooters, so I wasn't expecting the "newer" style wings. I recall that in days of yore the wings came out with the drummies and flappers still attached to one another. Now, they're separated. This saddens me because that's what *all the other* wing joints do. Used to feel good that Hooters had this culinary way to separate itself. Alas, no longer. That said, I do like the light breading on the new wings. And they weren't overcooked to a leatheren crisp like the wings I've gotten lately from the place with the talking spokes-bison. I meant to eat ten and ate twenty! And the parm garlic and lemon pepper rubs are both winners. The crab legs didn't impress, though. The legs were tiny and the shell had no snap--more typical of the cheapo crab you get at AYCE buffets. (Here's another chance to stand out, Hooters!) Clam chowder is good and has a lemony tang.

    This place is similar like Schererville location terrible service and hooter girls seems ignorant…read moreand do not care about DoorDash or Uber Eats orders which it takes FOREVER to wait.
