I love the Round the Clock in Chesterton. I recently went there for breakfast and ordered a chicken and biscuit dish. I enjoyed this very much. They some of the best biscuits you can find in any restaurant. I love the friendliness of the staff (especially the host). I also like that there is plenty of space in the restaurant so there's no chance of feeling crowded. read more

Food was decent. A simple omelette. Service was good. Price has gotten out of control. $3 for a cup of coffee. $13 for a simple omelette. With tip, my breakfast cost just over $19. I understand costs are going up. But there is also greed in the mix. Round the clock, you have updated your food menu and quality has gotten better. But price does not align with the upgrade. read more

fully repeatable in service and food quality. everything I have ordered has been good to great. We rat there more than any other local spot. Never been disappointed. read more

Cute little breakfast spot with very affordable pricing. Service was very friendly. Portion sizes are decent. I enjoyed the French toast. Eggs and hash browns were ok. We had a group of 6 and didn't have to wait for a table. However, the after church crowd had a little bit of a wait. read more

Round the Clock in Chesterton is usually a dependable spot for casual diner food, but our recent Friday evening visit, even at 5 p.m., was busier than expected. Normally, this place isn't packed, but we waited about 15-20 minutes for a table, which felt a bit long for such an early time. Once seated, service wasn't too bad--we waited about 10 minutes to place our order and another 10 minutes for our food. I had the patty melt with fries, and my wife chose the Chicken Teriyaki stir-fry along with the soup of the day, which we thought was beef noodle. The server brought out chicken lemon rice soup instead, but we didn't mind because it was delicious, as usual. My wife enjoyed her meal, and while my patty melt was fine, I wasn't too keen on the battered fries. Overall, Round the Clock offers satisfying food with a relaxed diner vibe, but the longer-than-usual wait times on busy nights made the experience a little less enjoyable. If you're dining during a rush, you might need to pack some patience, but the food won't disappoint. read more

Food was crazy fast but it was your ordinary gamily style place. They do offer many fancy french toast and skill options so piebald those were a step above our food. Staff were very courteous and quick. It just wasn't a place I would go out of my way to revisit. read more

Very good restaurant! Service was excellent and our server gave great recommendations on favorites to order. I had the meatloaf and gravy with mash potatoes and it was excellent. My husband had the fried shrimp dinner and it was good as well. My daughter had the kids Mac and cheese and she gave it a 3 out of 5 stars! Kids get a free ice cream dessert with their dinner! Pretty quiet ambiance on a Saturday evening but we arrived pretty late around 7:45 and they close at 9 pm. We will definitely be back to try other items on the menu. read more

I personally am a sucker for round the clock and I am so happy I live in a town with one. I only get one thing and one thing only and it's the southern chicken biscuits and gravy platter with two sunny side up eggs and hash browns. It's my favorite item on their menu. The quality and quantity of it is just so high up there on the scale for me that I don't wanna choose anything else. Service is always at and I never have any problems when I go! It's a nice spot to just enjoy your breakfast, lunch and dinner. Side note they only do biscuits and waffle menu items until 2pm so you gotta get there before if you want the southern chicken and biscuits. You might be able to ask if they can make an exception because it's sooooo good. read more

I've been on a salad kick and ordered a Cobb salad with bleu cheese and grilled chicken ... and y'all, sooo bleeping good! I know I probably was really hungry too but I enjoyed the portion too! Sometimes you don't get equal toppings to lettuce ratio and they did the salad right! This salad consisted of lettuce, bleu cheese, a boiled egg and fresh crumbled bacon. It also came with ham but I politely declined lol! I will absolutely order again! Thanks guys it was delicious!!! read more

Oh my goodness... I was so excited when my husband told me he picked up some lemon rice soup for me after a long day working. Round the clock used to have great lemon rice soup but NOT ANYMORE! This was the absolute worst lemon rice soup I have ever had. It was thick as a brick, and ZERO flavor. I tried to THIN it out and add some flavor by adding my own lemon juice but no dice. Come on! And the rolls? Hard as a rock. I don't know what's up with this but a Greek restaurant that doesn't do lemon rice soup that is at least decent? Never again. Avoid it at all costs. read more

Good food and the prices were good. Chicken tenders so good soups were homemade. Brought home a chocolate chip cookie that would rival crumbles. read more

good food, but it has very disorganized service, called on the phone for a cheesecake and payed for it for a birthday, and asked if they could write happy birthday on top to the manager Tony, in which he immediately said that they did that and had us spell out the name too, we had asked to bring it out after we were finished eating and what time we'd be getting there. We arrived there and when told them about the cheesecake they immediately brought it out ruining the surprise and they didn't even have icing. The lady who was tending us wasn't very helpful as this is a very easy solution knowing since I have worked at a restaurant before, that's just being lazy and not using resources, you can't lie to a customer on the phone for no reason, for extra money, get your staff on the same page. Another time before this I had taken my partner for their birthday breakfast here as well and they found two hairs in the first plate food, and they took it back TWO more times because we kept finding hairs :| read more

Service was fine but food was very much lacking. Had the Chorizo omelette, it was ok but the house potatoes were terrible. They lacked in seasoning and tasted and felt as if boiled. The crepes were alright but quite thick. If you're looking for flavorful food, don't come here. read more

We were in the area for a funeral a few days ago. I've eaten at their Schererville and Highland locations for many years. Their food was always above average and reasonably priced. So we decided to give the Chesterton location a try. Big mistake. Please do not put a dish on the menu called beef bourguignon if that's not what you're serving. I've had and made beef bourguignon several times in my life and this was definitely not it.What I was served was a beef stew with a gelatinous gravy and over cooked vegetables. My daughter had the chicken parm which was a gigantic hunk of chicken smothered in brown mozzarella cheese. My wife's salad had the greenest hard bolied eggs we've ever eaten. Her lemon rice soup, always a favorite, was as thick as wall paper paste.Glorified hospital food. A big plus for the rolls and our waitress was very sweet and helpful. Never again. read more

I recently ordered a lake perch, dinner at Round the Clock. It came with a choice of two sides and was $21.99. While the perch was adequate, I would give it a five out of 10. One of the sides I chose was the side salad shown in the photo. The greens were not fresh at all, and some of them were wilting, and even discolored. On the bright side, the service was excellent, and the server was friendly and polite. However, in this case, the meal was overpriced for the quality. read more

Nice place, large menu but nothing I would want to eat again. Waitress was nice and polite and my mom enjoyed her Bbq Mac n cheese and she's had the liver and onions and said it was good too. My dad had the perch and said it was fried to hard and flavorless. read more

Service was quick and she was great. I had breaded tenderloin with gravy and mashed potatoes. Potatoes were lumpy like my eight yr old grandson mashed them. Gravy was good on tenderloin they worked together receivedtwo patties very filling even at my 250lbs. Senior menu was a joke. My wife had hot beef sandwich with mashed she looked and thought it was stuffing so lumpy. She enjoyed her sandwich and left potatoes on the plate. read more

I've been here twice and I am a fan! First time, I got the grilled salmon (two years or so ago) but I'm here to tell you about the stuffed flounder. Marked as a "Special of the Day," or course I had to give it a try. Plus it's nice that it came with two sides! Simplest way to describe the dish: soul feeding salty-ness with a touch of fishy-ness flavor. The seafood that was stuffed inside the flounder wasn't overpowering which was a nice touch because I thought it was important to also be able to taste the lightly breaded flounder which was good. Went for a side of fries and a cup of cream of broccoli soup. Fries are battered (not sure in what) but they make them 10x more delicious. Cream of broccoli was the perfect blend of creamy and salty. Huge menu selection means that no matter what your taste palette is, you'll most likely find something to fit your needs. read more

DISAPPOINTED........For the LAST TIME!!! What is going on at the Chesterton 'Round the Clock? For the last 4 months something is wrong here, and getting worse. My wife and I went inside a few months back and literally sat for more than 10 minutes without a server even acknowledging us. As we were walking out was the first our server said anything to us. She had been having a conversation with another table since we sat down, for at least the time we waited for someone to even take our drink order. I told her we were hungry and would go where we could get service. Since this incident we decided we would pickup our food and eat at home in the future, my wife likes the salmon they do there. We have done this about 3 times prior to this last time, usually at least one item was incorrect, missing or poor quality. I placed a pickup order here yesterday, July 14, 2023. A simple order of one salmon dinner and one fried chicken dinner. The salmon was fine, the chicken was bland, dry and overcooked, no lie, I tore a piece off the breast and tapped it on my plate. That made my wife understand why I was complaining. The topper I think was that the fries that was supposed to be with it were non-existent. The best part of my meal was the soup and dinner roll. DONE, DONE AND DONE. There are too many other places to eat around here so I will go to them instead from now on. read more

Their lemon rice every-day soup was pretty bland. I wouldn't get it again. But 5 stars for the Buffalo Bacon Burger. It was incredible. Blue cheese was close to melted, and bacon was crispy. read more

This place was really good back when I was growing up, but it really has gone down in quality. I've even been to the ones in Highland and Dyer and they all have horrible tasting food. Goto Memo's out in Michigan City, you'll be alot happier read more

Kind staff & quick service. It was very busy! I got a scramble bowl (farmhouse I think?) & it was great. Very fresh. Huge portion sizes. They forgot the silverware in my pickup order and we were traveling so had to have it, but they quickly fixed it when I came back inside. read more

great family friendly diner. Have fish, steak, unfortunately serve only Pepsi products. I had blackened grouper, with potato and salad, and a drink: all for $17.40 (final bill). fish tasted good, so did potato. Nice seating inside, have booth or table. read more

Our favorite breakfast spot. Always good food, great waitresses, and excellent prices.

Our breakfast at Round the Clock was surprisly good. I hadn't been there in years and really didn't know what to expect. My husband ordered a straight up standard eggs, bacon and hash brown plate and he was pleased. I chose an interesting omelette that was topped with sausage gravy, accompanied with bacon and has browns. My food was very tasty. Our server was friendly and efficient. read more

Good food, excellent specials. Soups are great Service is ok from the new servers, the experienced servers is great It is an older restaurant so the decor is dated, read more

I have no idea where all the good reviews are coming from. Maybe it's from the lack of options in the area and the locals think this is a great place. I don't know exactly, but the food was so basic and bland I couldn't believe it. The service was as good as you can expect considering the employment issue across the nation. The prices are great which was only saving grace of this place other than that they need to learn how to use some seasoning in their food. I understand that not everybody likes a lot of spices and seasoning but even basic salt and pepper is more than what these people use . The one thing I do recommend that was the only saving grace was there burger, it was actually very good. Everything else our table ordered was a 1 out of a scale of 5. If you're a Greek owned restaurant, the least you can do is make a proper chicken lemon rice soup that is your special. There's no way the soup was homemade it had to be out of a bag premade somewhere and just heated up with some chicken thrown in. I've never had this soup so flavorless without any hint of a lemon taste to it whatsoever. I won't even call it soup that is insulting, it was more of a thick yellow gravy. read more

I wanted lake perch. I had tried a different place and it was not any good. So I thought I would try here. Limited in Chesterton. We were seated within 10 minutes of walking in. Took a while for the waitress to come to us for life we started with water and a soda. When I informed them that my sister would not be dangerous me. I asked if I could get the lake perch à la carte. I did not want the sides. The waitress said no without even asking. Then she had an attitude for the rest of the time. The lake perch here was good. Not super crispy like I was searching for back gate. Came with three large pieces. I like the small crispy ones. I would give the perch a three star. I thought the tartar sauce was terrible. Just mayonnaise practically.The server never came back to ask if we needed anything. I would've liked lemon. I Flagged someone down to get it. She never cleared my table either. Just dropped the check. The service was the least of my favorite things which weren't any. Hope they do better. I would not go back. read more

Located just a couple minutes north of the Route 49 toll road interchange, this pleasant family restaurant is convenient to Illinoisans returning home from NW Indiana. The huge menu spotlights roadside diner classics and comfort foods. There's page after page of breakfast, brunch and lunch items, but keep turning pages to reveal an extensive menu of dinner entrees and combination platters. Entree prices include a choice of two items from a long list of side dishes (pasta entrees include one item). We ordered chopped steak, country-fried chicken breast, and "Thanksgiving Dinner." Ordered medium, the chopped steak arrived closer to well done. The chicken received an enthusiastic thumbs-up and the dryish white-meat turkey was made OK by gravy (request gravy served on the side). The side dishes were very good. Our bellies were stuffed before we could finish the gigantic portions (senior and children's portions are available). Take home half of your meal so you'll have room to enjoy one of their desserts. For cutting-edge or trendy cuisine, look elsewhere, but our meal here was enjoyable and an excellent value. The wait staff was cheerful and attentive. The spacious country kitchen-motif dining room is divided by partial walls into more intimate areas. There is a private party room. Extra points for gorgeous landscaping. read more

Good Lord, you all up in the region must have terrible judgment on food. This place was recommended by hotel staff. Raw bacon was brought to us. They took it back and over cooked it.It bacon peopke..not rocket science.Biscuits and gravy....could tell gravy is out of a can. No seasoning at all. And it was cold. Waitress.....hello I paid for a soft drink. Not once did she refill it. Even asking for it, did not help...so you got stiffed on tip. read more

We were looking for a local place to eat breakfast and stopped in at the Chesterton location of this restaurant. We arrived at the height of the breakfast rush but only waited about 10 minutes. After we were seated, we waited another ten minutes for anyone to acknowledge us. We ordered our drinks and went ahead and ordered our food. Our drinks were promptly delivered as was our food (although we did not receive one of our side items) then we never saw our server again until we were finished eating. We had been finished for quite awhile before she returned with our check. We were never offered refills on coffee, extra napkins, etc. She did bring me a to-go cup of tea but again we had to wait awhile. Although the service was terrible, the food was above average and very reasonably priced. The decor was pleasing and the seating was comfortable; I just wish we would have been able to enjoy our meal a bit more. read more
