Cafe Stelios in Merrillville on Broadway was an awesome experience. It feels family owned, and that…read morewarmth really comes through the second you walk in. The atmosphere was comfortable and inviting, and I loved that they took the time to decorate so nicely for the holiday. The inside was done really well and made the whole place feel even more welcoming. The service was undeniably great. The girl handling the coffee told me "my pleasure" when I asked for a half cup on my refill, which stuck with me because it was such a small but genuine touch. Our waitress was also very easygoing and pleasant, and she made the meal that much better. The coffee was spectacular, and the food was outstanding. The waffle was absolutely magical. Everything about this visit made me want to come back, and I already can't wait to try lunch next time. Definitely a spot worth checking out.

Yelp never leads me wrong - this little cafe was close to my hotel and has great photos and…read morereviews. I enjoyed reading their story online - family owned, and named in honor of their family. Many reviews rave about the friendly owners. I ordered an espresso hazelnut latte, it was perfect and served with a little cookie. I had the Avocado Toast - it was great, light and refreshing. If I could critique it slightly I'd ask for a thicker cream cheese smear and more onion, I'd personally also add some feta cheese. The ingredients were fresh, the eggs were the perfect temp and it was a delightful meal overall. Service was fantastic! My server was prompt, friendly and attentive.

Feels like a classic American diner, the kind you don't really see much anymore. People laughing, talking, just enjoying their time. The waitress was really nice and friendly, made everything feel easy. I ordered the 2 eggs with links, hashbrowns, and toast. Eggs came out perfect, over easy, with that golden yolk ready to run the second you cut into it. First bite with the yolk spilling over everything... exactly how I like it. The links had a nice snap, good flavor, and the hashbrowns were crispy on the outside, soft inside. Simple meal, but done right. Everything tasted fresh and hot. The whole experience just felt different in a good way. One of those spots you're glad you found.

I appreciated the cute decor, even the air vents on the ceiling are painted like sunflowers. Definitely would recommend.

So I've been hanging out a bit in small town America lately. Luckily I've been able to discover…read moresome really good eats in some of these small towns. The Hangar is in a town of about 550 people. I have that many in my condo building. But what they lack in people they do pretty dam good in good places to grab a good bite. The Hangar is one of them. It looks like they poured a few bucks in this place. the decor is pretty nice and very rural. They know their demographic. Even the bathroom are pretty cool and interesting looking with keg urinals. Now I know that sounds nasty but I usually look for cleanliness and detail like quality of napkins etc. Anyone who is concerned with their restrooms is concerned with the details. The dining area is really nice and spacious wood on metal with an old bank vault for a kitchen door. There is also a pretty spacious patio to eat and drink on. Parking! Yes I never get used to that. But being a a small town i suppose they have plenty for which I am grateful. When they serve you get get your utensil set-up in this cools little paper bag sleeve. It's clean and likely pretty hygienic. The all around quality of non-food items is pretty good. The service is excellent. The staff very friendly and our server a good looking woman was on point and sincerely friendly. I am remiss I did not get her name as she deserves a shout out! The grub? Pretty damn good. My buddy had their burger and believe me he is a critic in a good way, he knows his stuff. Their fries are thick cut steak fries, the best kind. He really enjoyed the burger and that's saying something as he is in the business. I had an excellent hand-breaded pork tenderloin sandwich which was fried just right not too crisp and not soggy. A damn good sandy. A side of their BBQ I was good to go. My side of potato salad was righteous too. It seems more and more I run across small town America that has upped their game comparable to any big city in quality and atmosphere. They also have an edge on the price points. With general lower overhead they can be more reasonable I suppose. That said, people still have to make a living so please tip graciously when you can. I would definitely take a ride back here from the city. I may have to try a weekend which i bet is jamming'.

Their perch on Fridays is a favorite with a good-sized 6 pieces to start. If you order AYCE, they refill with 2 or 4 pieces. Sides are always good, especially the asparagus when they have it. Now the not so good! The French onion soup is perfunctory and not the real thing. They've taken clear shortcuts: not caramelizing the onions enough, using croutons instead of French bread, and sticking a slice of cheese on top and microwaving instead of baking the dish in the over. There is an artificial sweetness that has been added rather than coming naturally from the caramelized onions. So I would not recommend ordering the French onion soup.

Once the woman at the front was finished helping other customers, she didn't greet or acknowledge us--she simply said in a rude tone, "Sit wherever you want."

I understand it was getting closer to closing, but we arrived a full hour beforehand. If you're no longer serving customers, simply let them know instead of making them feel unwelcome.
