    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.

    This café isn't terrible, but it's definitely not great either -- and that's why it's getting two…read morestars instead of more. The atmosphere is nice and the place looks like it wants to be a solid neighborhood spot, but the execution just isn't there. The coffee was mediocre at best -- not awful, just bland and forgettable, especially for a café that clearly takes itself seriously. Drinks came out lukewarm and lacked flavor, like they were rushed or poorly measured. Service was polite, but slow and unorganized. Nothing outright rude, just a lack of attentiveness and urgency that makes the whole experience feel sloppy. Prices don't match the quality, which is probably the biggest letdown. I'm giving it two stars instead of one because the space itself is decent and there is potential here. But until the coffee improves and service tightens up, it's not a place I'd go out of my way to return to.

We arrived late lunch hour and though busy were seated quickly. The place was still quite full and there was low music in the background. It wasn't too long before our orders were taken, Special Club #1 over easy for hubby, the Seafood Benedict (shrimp) for me. Rather than hashbrowns, I opted for fresh fruit. I've ordered this before, the good experience outweighed any negative and gotta say this time was excellent. Hubby enjoyed his meal as well (he usually orders a 2+2+2--we think that's turkey--or chicken?--sausage) and the prices are moderate. The fresh fruit was amazing. Not a tiny sample size serving, but enough to split with hubby and we both enjoyed. Our server was appropriately attentive, not overly so, and the wait was not long. We were very happy with the experience this time and regret not getting pics.

She was so amazing and attentive, she managed to keep us all fed and watered before the generational disagreements could escalate into a full-scale food fight. Everyone genuinely enjoyed their meal, which is proof Sarita is a sorceress. We will absolutely be making this a tradition every year we're in Indiana. Next time, I'm asking Sarita if she's free to officiate our family's Thanksgiving dinner, too.

Anyway, somehow I found out about this one and I put it on my calendar. And I'm glad I didn't talk myself out of going to it, as it was a something to do and I had fun. This was the inaugural year of this particular chili cook-off. It's an official event in chili cook-off circles; there's an actual organization that establishes rules for these events, and acting as an official event means that the winner gets to advance to another competition in Myrtle Beach, I think. The cost to the public was a $5 entrance fee for unlimited samples. They gave you There were at least 25-30 folks here competing and providing samples of their chili. While there were some I liked better than others, there wasn't a bad sample in the bunch. They had different categories for competitors to enter, and they also could enter a salsa. There were a few green chilis represented, which I think were my favorite, and a white chicken chili. I saw some unexpected ingredients in a few--chickpeas, potatoes--both excellent. There were at least a couple that I wished I could have bought to bring home because they were so good. People were friendly, and happy to have folks give their creation a try. There weren't a huge number of folks there, which was unfortunate. I hope that after we left more folks arrived so that they can keep it going for another year. This was held at a union hall with a huge parking lot so no problems there. If it takes place next year I'll be back.
