We saw a handful of fast food joints and were going to settle on one before I said, "hey, let's check this place out and just take a little break from driving." We stopped in Dwight Pizza and were pleasantly surprised. The food: The Italian beef/sausage combo was out of this world. The sausage was packed with flavor and the Italian beef was delicious. Everything was even better being dipped in au jus. We also split a pizza that came piping hot and loaded with cheese and toppings. The atmosphere: The atmosphere is a no frills diner small town diner feel, but a great place to stop for lunch or dinner with kids. AND I got to watch The Godfather during lunch! :) I loved seeing the owner's memorabilia from his son's successes over the years. Undoubtedly a VERY proud father and it's touches like that, which make family owned/small town places special. The owner: He didn't say he was the owner, but as a business owner, myself, you can tell. He was awesome. Very friendly and it didn't feel like you were stopping by his restaurant, but stopping by his home for a home cooked dinner. He started by asking us if we wanted to have the best Italian beef sandwich or best pizza we'd ever had, so we naturally said, "Both!" We will definitely make a point to stop in on our trips back to Michigan. Three Floyds and Schoops are our "heading down" stops and Dwight Pizza will be our "heading up" stop.

By far the best pizza place in coal city. If they were open more and advertised themselves more…read morethey'd definitely be number one in coal city. They're kind of hidden and a lot of people don't know they exist. They are attached to the coal city skating ring. The pizza is amazing and they're sandwiches are to die for. The beef pockets are the best I've ever had. The pricing is cheaper then anyone in town. Just wish they delivered and advertised more because this place definitely deserves recognition

Great neighborhood find!…read more We found this through the roller rink in the same building. Roller rink got a new owner and upgrades and so did the food at Giggles. Take out only but they supply the rink as well. The pizza is really good, lots of specialties like Hawaiian, Meat Lovers, and Cheeseburger. Our favorites though are the Beef Rolls (beef and cheese baked in pizza dough) and their Beef Sandwich as they toast the bun. We've decided we need to finish working our way through the menu.

Overpriced, mid-tier pizza. Can't believe paid 66$ for a pizza, beef roll, and a dozen boneless…read morewings. Prefaced with I've never been to Illinois till earlier this week, ergo unaware of quality and what restaurants people will keep going through patronage, I have spent the last few days checking out restaurants on Yelp. Noticed this was a surprisingly highly rated spot, even though the photos didn't look that great. Through ordering online , placed an order for a small pan pizza , not realizing (isn't listed on their website) that adding any toppings is 1.25$ more each; like a 23$ small pizza. It appears the pizza had its toppings put after the sauce, and cheese on top, leaving an unsatisfying appearance and feeling I would've needed to order "extra cheese" to get a normal pizza. The exterior of the crust was hard, like baked too high of a temp for too long, and crunched like a cracker with the dough being dense and flavorless. The "beef roll" appeared to be their small dough folded over into a 12"x8" rectangle and cut into 1"x3" long pieces , and dusted with an Italian seasoning. Thin shaved beef inside, opted for pepperoni in it too. It was alright, again the crust put me off, the au jous that comes with it was watery and bland, and for 20.50$, felt like an overpay. Personally I like getting boneless wings with pizza, so opted for a dozen of those for us. Limited flavors , went with "hot", which was no hotter than Franks red hot. If they were fried, they steamed inside their foil and styrofoam container, and were received soggy and soft. Nothing noteworthy on taste or experience there.. beyond the 16.75$ charge, making each quarter-sized piece like 1.40$ each All in all impression: overpriced. I wouldn't go back, and if this is the best rated pizza in town, think I won't be going out for pizza around here the duration of my trip, least it be overpriced for mediocre food again.

I think they closed, we both got food poisoning. Won't let me leave NO STARS, or I would.read more

Checked out this nostalgic type of bar and restaurant in Gardner. Every Buddies has a Route 66…read moretheme going on. It certainly is no surprise because the old road goes right by it and there's a crap ton of memorabilia and other stuff. A lot of it is basic knick knacks and the like. The outside of the place has a big ass motor home on top. Barely knew anything about this town until we got off for a few bites. It's only interesting because of its history of being along the mythical road that went through it. That same road is still here but with not as much traffic. Check out a few of the roadside attractions. There's an old diner and a prison among other things. As far as this pub, it's okay. Pretty okay prices. Has beers in bottles and cans. It's about $6 for a basic cocktail. Whiskey and whatever. It's about $7 for an appetizer. The Pretzel Sticks have the right amount of fluffiness and saltiness. For sure there's a lot of history around here. It's closed Mondays to Thursdays. They're a family owned business and often close for holidays or whatever.
