I've been here 3 times. Try the corn elote dip. The burgers are delicious and so are the fries. I recommend for a casual family or date night. read more

Very nice location, downtown Crown Point, very nice outdoor patio area, large inside seating area. Spring is good time to enjoy outside seating, umbrellas over all seating. Food was good and plenty of it, had enough for lunch the next day. Had butter chicken on garlic mashed potato's with asparagus, very tender filets with nice breading, Philly cheesesteak eggrolls were large and good for splitting, nice cheese sauce. Wanted desert but no room, may start with it next time. Only flaw (minor) soups came out at same time as meal, it was busy dinner time. Peach old fashion was tasty and well made. Peach gummy was nice touch in the glass. Looking forward to go back, very full menu, vegan, gluten free choices and full fat, gluten choices for me. Large list of burgers too. read more

Was up in crown point for a baseball game. It was raining so went to get lunch , ended up at sq roots The young lady seating people set the mood for the whole meal. Rude wanted to seat us at a table we asked for a both. Rolled eyes and gave wife some bullshit. There was plenty of open booths Next came the waiter with the grim reaper tat on his hand. Not saying any thing bad about tat just a ref Came to the table the 3 times that was needed . Was short and kind of a dick or to cool to service us. Had the Cuban WORST I HAVE EVER HAD the pork was so hard could not chew it no flavor The fries where amazing I had the animal ones Now time for the bill No bill Waited Waited like I said he only came 3 times Went to bitchy lady to pay one more rolled eyes " you have to pay your server " He came back Paid We left I guess what I'm saying it's just a average restaurant with shit services Go some where dif read more

Came in last night for dinner, we've been here a handful of times and usually really enjoy it, but the vibe and food just didn't quite hit the mark this time. We started with the Mediterranean board, which was delicious! Lots of great dips and naan. We would've enjoyed a few more grapes and cucumbers though. I also ordered the cucumber mocktail, which was super refreshing and tasty. I would highly recommend! The main issue was the timing, we were seated, ordered, and waited quite a bit. When our food finally arrived, our meals were unfortunately cold. My steak was cold but my rice was a little warm, all fries and Mac and cheese were really cold, and the burger was room temp but we were so hungry we went ahead and ate. I did mention it to our waitress as she asked how it all came out. She was very kind and offered to remake the dishes or comp dessert, which we appreciated but declined. Both she and the manager were polite - it just seemed like a busy night and our order got lost in the shuffle. Just mediocre for our time and money. Even so, we made the best of it, the kids had fun playing hangman and "I Spy" on the kids' menu with us while we waited. I'd still recommend you try them out! read more

This place is excellent for a late Sunday lunch. I've only been here once but I'll be back! Great beer and drink selection too. We started off with the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls and let me tell you these should keep you coming back! They are filled with juicy steak and peppers and have a queso dipping sauce - they were epic! For lunch we ordered the cheeseburger with onion straws and bbq sauce with bacon and it was cooked to perfection and tasted excellent. We also got a chicken wrap which was very good too. We will definitely be back! read more

I have been to square roots a number of times with family, but had yet to post a review. I have not had a single meal or experience there that disappointed in anyway. Their menu is well rounded with a variety of offerings. They also have a different soup of the day, and specialty cocktails. We have always had very good service and up at the bar this afternoon was no exception. The atmosphere is comfortable, stylish, and would be great for a date night or even a family friendly dinner. Great bar area with a giant TV to watch the game. read more

Very cute place for drinks and good food. I love the atmosphere of the restaurant. It is well decorated and very clean. There is plenty of seating available and they have a patio. They have unique drinks and food selections. There is something for everyone. The service was great in the beginning, but once we received our dinner she never came back. We had to call her over for the check and some boxes. Overall, I would definitely recommend going here. The food was fantastic. read more

The food is always great. They have a flat bread pizza that is great for one person! Or maybe two. But I like pizza so much that I always eat the entire thing by myself. The ambiance is super although the music is a little too loud sometimes. But I'm a Boomer maybe I'm just getting old. read more

Good to see a place like this in Crown point Indiana. Good atmosphere good service. A basic old fashioned was my drink done right. Food was average the three little piggies was the pork carnitas tacos. Good size serving but the carnitas lacked the flavor and crispy crunch that carnitas should have. Change it to pulled pork tacos and I would have thought that was fine. I would come back and try something else read more

Great addition to The Square. Nicely remodeled space, wide selection of meals, large tap list, and kind staff. I got the Mac n cheese with brisket. It was a dinner portion, and a large one at that. Could serve more than one person for sure. They have some fun daily drink deals. There were a lot of sporting events on the TV. Would gladly return to meet up with family and friends when in town. read more

Holy melted butter on sourdough Batman!!!! I had the Hall of Famer. It DESERVES the title. Grilled sourdough bread brushed with butter, tender brisket, barbecue, sharp cheddar and Caramelized onions. I closed my eyes. I breathed it in. Tender brisket, tangy barbecue, crunchy bread, rich butter. I am clearly enraptured. I just ate there three hours ago and I want another. I got the truffle parmesan fries as a side. Excellent choice as well. Eclectic decor. Clean restrooms. Sundays with all the mimosa specials and booze looks fun. Solid choice any time of day or week. Can't wait to go back! read more

The owner came up and talked to us personally very nice person and great food! Very busy/ long wait though.

Let me start by saying, if you want awesome dining options in northern Indiana & want to avoid getting too close to Chicago, Crown Point, IN has you covered! Dozens of restaurants fill the downtown. You can literally have breakfast, lunch AND dinner there and experience almost every culture of food. For a foodie like me, well, it's pretty awesome... and... I digress. We were exploring the downtown shops when we suddenly realized we hadn't eaten lunch (I think the yummy smells we kept passing helped with that). Suddenly hungry, we walked into the next place we saw... and I loved the idea of it because I LOVE Gastropubs. Usually I do a ton of research ahead of time, but since this town seems to feature restaurants as its go-to attraction (and I usually can find something gluten-free to eat at Gastropubs), I figured I'd be able to find something... somewhere... if not here. First, the staff knew exactly what gluten was. Gold star for them and the manager handling their training! Second, the atmosphere was modern with a hint of edgy. Super cool vibes. Third, since hubs doesn't have "issues," he ordered the Chicken Florentine soup not thinking anything of it except that he wanted soup... and he didn't know what to expect, but said it was one of the best soups he's ever had. That's high praise coming from him - he's very particular about praising soup! Unfortunately I couldn't partake in any of the yummy-sounding soup options since none were GF... and I was in the mood for a salad (rare) anyway, so I got the Southwest salad. It. Was. Super. Good. And not just because I was on the verge of fainting from hunger. While the restaurant makes an effort to include many gluten-free options, including buns, they got demoted one star for not having a simple GF soup option. If they'd had a gluten-free soup, well, that would have blown me away. Either way, this place is worth a visit and we look forward to heading back to Crown Point to experience another one of the amazing downtown restaurants soon while we're in northern Indiana! read more

It's ok food. Nothing special. If you have a large party you can usually get in pretty fast

Driving hangry back to Chicago we've stumbled upon this place. At first glance I knew this place would be good. Aesthetically welcoming you get the beer barn modern vibe. The hostess was very welcoming. We were sat immediately in a booth. Our server was top notch, very attentive, knowledgeable and overall down to earth. We wanted a piece of everything on the menu. We tried a beer flight which was good, I forgot which beer I like :(. The other drinks were good. We had a sandwich with honey on it which we were not a fan of.... Overall dry. Cheese curds were good. I'd definitely stop by again during another Indiana road trip. read more

Excellent place to meet for business or with family. Great atmosphere and food is very delicious.

Went to square roots on a windy and cool saturday morning. I appreciated the large windows on the entrance side; brought in pleasant light and also served for a little people watching. The menu is dense from the beverages to the grub, so probably not somewhere you want to go if you are on a diet or just off a fast. Haha. I had tacos, cheese curds, and some kind of whiskey specialty drink. It all went well together and I was pleased. This place has a cool vibe, gets busy, and has friendly service. When I am back in town I will hit them up again. read more

My hubby and our daughter stopped in yesterday for a lunch as my daughter is vegan and she found that option at this Gastropub. First, the prices, for the selections seemed quite high, but hubby and I planned to split "The Babe," which was house-pulled pork + BBQ sauce, potato chips, sweet & spicy pickles on a pretzel bun. We declined the house fries and asked the alternatives; one was asparagus which we chose, not realizing it was a dollar additional. Our waitress (S Peyton), was extremely patient and accommodating when our daughter vacillated between two choices, and her selection was settled. Then we waited. And waited. I should have taken a pic, did not. The BBQ sandwich was loaded and 7-8(?) (baked?)asparagus spears accompanied the pretzel bun. No, the potato chips were not on the plate. They were in the sandwich--a rather unhappy surprise. Hubby quickly determined he didn't like the sweet & spicy pickles--I only found dill. My daughter's Black Bean Bowl was loaded with rice with a mushroom accompanied by a sample-size guacamole. Music loud enough to be difficult to talk. Between the prices and disappointment in the food, we would not go back. 2.5 stars rounded up read more

We have enjoyed the SR patio all summer and I should have done this review long ago. Dined in yesterday with my Mom and husband and had stellar service from Yari. Friendly, knowledgeable, sincere and wasn't put out by all my questions when I decided to order something new. I was in a coffee mood and ordered coffee/ice water and was shocked at how good the coffee was (found out they serve from the roaster down the street: Smalltown Coffee). The food was basically perfect and the restaurant is always super clean, comfy booths. Keep it up, SR! Great addition to the square. read more

Wow. A killer restaurant in Crown Point. The vibe? Dark and relaxed. The servers? Friendly and helpful! The food? Every bite was perfect. We arrived just before an enormous dinner rush on Saturday night. We were seated quickly. The servers carry handheld ordering devices so as soon as you order something, the kitchen gets to work. We started with the fireside elote dip and this thing is phenomenal. Take your freshly made tortilla chips, scoop up some cheesy, gooey dip filled with corn and inhale that masterful mouthful. So, so, so good! Our server suggested that anything with pulled pork or brisket was out of this world, so I went with the brisket tacos. Truly incredible. The brisket was tender and you could absolutely taste the smokey flavor in the meat. Square Roots takes the time to do their food right! And that explains the line out the door, even on a rainy/snowy Saturday night in January. Major props to everyone involved in this northwest Indiana gem. We'll be back! read more
