Sandwiches were average but the blueberry pancakes were AMAZING! Stay with breakfast food.

My wife and I enjoyed our breakfast there. Everything was…read morefresh and delicious. Service was good.. prices are good also

Try this place out on a random Saturday morning. First, let me say that it is hard to find as the…read morebuilding looks like some type of converted commercial construction warehouse space prior. It has very low ceilings very few windows and from the street. There's only one large sign to see it. Even on the building itself there are no signs on it not even on the door. Parking here is a little unusual as there is some parking in the front that I think you can park in that is shared with the florist. Otherwise, you have to drive to the back to the very construction looking area to find parking. Once in let me say that the staff was very friendly there was quite a bit of them, and we were seated immediately. Unfortunately, again going back that I think this used to be some type of a commercial space converted. The bathroom door is open directly into the dining space and there is no separate hallway for it. We were seated in the very last booth closest to the restrooms. The staff was very friendly, patient and attentive, so this was fantastic. There is a sign that says that this is family run by the Barrera family. And it's so great to know that we can patronize a small business. The food came out very very quickly, which was fantastic so no complaints there and it came out piping hot, which is even better. The portions seem really big however please note that the hashbrowns alone took up half the plate. So it would have been nice to get a third option available on the menu to put with your dish for the plate for example of fruit option even for my Benedict or a fruit option or another vegetable or carb for that omelette. There was so much food that we took some of it home as well primarily due to the hashbrowns. The only real complaint is the coffee here. It is so thin and it is basically brown colored water that after this we went across the street to Starbucks to get real coffee. I know this place is new and is definitely trying to get its footing so I look forward to it succeeding and then being able to really improve upon the space or better yet get a better building and location.

Came here on a random Saturday for brunch around 11 AM and it is located towards the back of a…read morestrip mall off the main road. So it's not the easiest to find unless you're specifically looking for and or purposefully reading the signs. Since it is in a short mall, parking was very amble so that was great. When we got in, there was a little to no weight, which was also very pleasant. The place is themed with all music and rock 'n' roll art and really bright bold colors. The service was OK, but she actually forgot our coffees and I had to ask a second time and when I asked the second time she only brought over one coffee instead of the original two we ordered We ordered chicken and waffles and quite frankly she told us that these were the absolute best chicken tenders and no sauce was needed, even though it did come with sauce, and I did order the hot honey sauce and the garlic Parmesan sauce. The tenders are good because the batter is seasoned however, I expected either more tenders or perhaps a smaller plate because if you look at the picture, it's more plate than it is meat The same could be said for the country fried steak. It was such a small piece for such a big plate. It didn't really make a lot of sense. Our waitress also told us that this place had the absolute best tater tots ever so we wouldn't put the tater tots and to be quite blunt these tater tots taste no different than any other restaurant This whole area of Northwest Indiana is so saturated with breakfast brunch spots that I have to say that the food has got to elevate itself to really stand out and also to stay relevant with all the competition.

Their menu offers a little more than standard diner fare. I went with a friend, and we shared a…read moreVeggie Skillet and each got a cocktail. It was a fine experience overall, but there isn't really anything special about this restaurant over others in the area that offer similar fare.

Driving from Indianapolis for a delivery up in the region, I was looking for a cozy little…read morebreakfast spot and this place delivered. The prices were great and the meal portions were very large. My waitress, Sue, who was new, was extremely attentive and very friendly. You could tell she cared. I ordered the Meaty Skillet which came with either two pancakes, French toast or something else I can't remember. The skillet was very packed with meat and I could only eat about half of it (saved the rest for later). Extremely tasty. The pancakes were also very tasty as well. The service was great and quick. She checked up on me multiple times. Would recommend anyone in the area or passing through to give it a try!

It has now been 6 days, in the bathroom, and I'm getting angrier by the moment. I called the restaurant the next day to notify them. They were unconcerned and unapologetic. I followed this call up with a call to the Lake County Health/Food Inspection. Then I was just going to leave it be. The food poisoning was confirmed and the longer this goes on the more upset I got. And that's why I'm leaving this rating. They just didn't care. They have lost good, reliable customers.
