Opted to try Phenomenal Ribs as someone from Gary and visiting. I can say the food was good. I…read morereally enjoyed the rib tips but I can tell that they weren't smoked on a grill, it was deff good but it would've took it up a notch if it was smoked. The sauce tho omg was so good! I can say that the chicken was just ok, I loved the fries tho. The service was good, when I went the girl said she was new and she was super nice.

I ordered an extra large tip... There was plenty of food for the price add the service was good…read more.. only thing I didn't like is the ribs seem like they might have been oven baked. Didn't give me that smoky barbecue flavor I was looking for. But overall it was ok... I would order again

BC Osaka is one of my favorite buffet restaurants! They have a huge selection of food, including…read morefresh sushi, hibachi, seafood, and plenty of hot dishes. Everything was fresh and constantly refilled. The hibachi grill was delicious, and the sushi was surprisingly good for a buffet. The restaurant was clean, the staff was friendly and attentive, and the service was excellent. There are so many options that everyone can find something they enjoy. Great value for the price--I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

The food is flavorless, and it was 90 dollars for 4 people no wonder why! The drinks were actually the best thing in that buffet somehow. The buffet looks fancy on the outside, and the entrance, but once you go in to the food place it has very limited options! The service wasn't that bad though. The mini cakes in the dessert isle is also horrible, and should have an health inspection. I saw multiple flys on top of them laying eggs! The food is cold, very limited options, and flys everywhere!

It's no exaggeration when I say that my dining experience at Maple Tree Inn was one of the best…read morerestaurant experiences I've ever had! My niece and I couldn't believe this was our first visit, especially after hearing so many great things. This place is incredibly popular, so I definitely recommend making reservations. After checking in, we waited less than five minutes and struck up a fun conversation with two lovely ladies who were also first-timers. It was the perfect start to the evening. The atmosphere is warm, lively, and inviting, with Mardi Gras beads and colorful carnival masks throughout the restaurant that give it so much character. Our server was fantastic. Unfortunately, I didn't catch his name, but he was friendly, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable about the menu. His recommendations made choosing from so many tempting options much easier. Now let's talk about the food... EVERYTHING was absolutely delicious! To kick things off, I ordered the Creole Voodoo Zombie, and my niece had the Hurricane. Both cocktails were fantastic and set the tone for an amazing meal. My niece is an excellent cook herself and has dietary restrictions, so dining out can often be disappointing. That's what made this experience even more special--she genuinely loved every bite. We started with the crab cake appetizer and the BBQ shrimp appetizer, and both were packed with incredible flavor. For my entrée, I ordered the blackened ribeye, swapping the broccolini for the collard greens (worth the $3 upcharge!). The steak was perfectly cooked, and those collard greens were phenomenal. My niece chose the blackened red snapper étouffée, and she couldn't stop raving about it. Even though we were completely full, we couldn't leave without dessert. We shared the Mississippi Mud Turtle Brownie topped with marshmallow fluff and the strawberry shortcake. Our server suggested pairing the brownie with a butterscotch liqueur, and I'm so glad I took his recommendation--it was the perfect finishing touch and complemented the dessert beautifully. We've been talking about this meal ever since we left...and that's probably the biggest compliment I can give. In fact, we were so impressed that we made reservations for next weekend before we even left--and we're bringing two friends with us! Perfect for: Date nights, celebrations, or anytime you want a memorable meal that's worth planning ahead for. Maple Tree Inn absolutely lived up to the hype. 10/10--highly recommend!

Eating healthy with the freshest ingredients is available here. Hardworking friendly owners that provide wonderful food at very reasonable prices make this place a diamond in the rough of Hammond Indiana. I find it fast and easy to order food that arrives promptly via the use of my food that one accesses the menu via one's camera after being focused on a QR Code on their dining tables. Likewise old school photo menus are available that one can read off of can be used to place one's order to a server as well. The place has expanded into the building next door to meet the needs of the demands of its very loyal customer base. If you're not one of their loyal customers, it's most likely because you haven't tried them yet. I would have posted a review of this place long ago but I've waited until now as I didn't want to wait for a table which was a common occurrence prior to them enlarging thier dining room. Thus the best kept secret can now be stated. "Asian Kitchen is the best at what they do!"

At first there was an initial response which was delayed after a few days. The information that was provided was contradictory to the prices listed on the website.

The worker asked for a menu that we were interested and after approximately 2 weeks still no response, besides "we're extremely busy". Attempted to utilize a service provider that the food truck is affiliated with, to which, they never responded to the provider either.

Chef Rob was just fine with this. He is friendly and passionate about his work; it was fun to chat and hear about how he transitioned from the corporate world to his own catering biz. Our menu featured Caesar salad, roasted vegetables, grilled boneless chicken thighs, couscous, and homemade frozen custard with lemon crumbles. For the non-cheese eaters in our group, Rob prepared a separate salad with olive oil vinaigrette. The chicken and veggies were very tasty, seasoned with nothing more exotic than salt, pepper and dehydrated garlic. There were practically no leftovers. The custard was richer and more velvety than Culver's. The only dud was the bland and mushy couscous. Before the meal was over, we were already contemplating a future event with Rob.

Rob and his team of two others arrived an hour before the event started to get everything set up well. The food was delicious, and the guests were raving about the variety and flavors. It seems like Rob has a great range as a chef and is especially accommodating of any dietary restrictions or preferences; in fact, we asked him to work around some specific unique food sensitivities for our event and he did a wonderful job navigating that. The pricing was very reasonable for such high quality, and I can't recommend Babito's Bites enough based on the incredible food and phenomenal service we experienced at our event.

The manager, Tony, offered zero apology, zero solutions, and at one point responded to our concerns with, "What do you want me to do?"

We solved the problem ourselves by going to Cafe Borgia, where Karen immediately seated us and provided excellent service and food. They saved our Christmas Eve.

Views of the lake. Our server was so so sweet & friendly. I ordered the seasonal Moscow mule. It was a happy hour special. It was cucumber mint. A little sweeter than I had anticipated. But delicious. I ordered the lobster bisque to start. It was $6. Very good portion for the price. And it was amazing. The bread basket at the table was very good too. Whipped butter & the perfect density & chew. For the entree, I got the macadamia crusted walleye. It came with 2 sides. I chose the garlic mashed potatoes & ceasar salad. The potatoes had a lot of garlic. So, make sure you like garlic. I was so full after the salad that I took most of the fish & potatoes home. It was a good sized portion. They were just as good the next day. We shared the chocolate cake & a lemon dessert. I didn't take any pictures because I only had a bite. But they were amazing. The server offered to take our photo by the lake at sunset. What a lovely suggestion. I can't wait to come back.
