They give you so much with each plate that believe it or not I couldn't even finish my first plate lol. Let me start with the service though!

Thank you for making something I won't be able to do often as a single mom so very nice! You're the best Karl!

This comes out in service to customers. The food still is acceptable but the failure to be nice and friendly has made the experience an abject failure. They have lost my confidence and we who go once a week are now done. No more. Consider yourself warned and buyer beware. Lots of good options in Crown Point that will provide good service. There has always been an off odor here but can be overlooked if all else is good.

The smoked sturgeon, seasoned jumbo shrimp, and minced pork belly were the top dishes here. Sturgeon isn't as common around here and stood out because of the smoky taste and freshness.

The coconut curry shrimp lacked the depth and really any flavor you'd expect for something curried, the jerk wings lacked that quintessential smoke flavor and smell and at opening when we went they said we're out of rice and peas and substituted it for overcooked jasmine rice and the pineapple upside down cake was also unavailable. Again, maybe a place for appetizers and drinks only.

An eclectic selection of 60s hits played comfortably in the background. Eddie, the busmen, would materialize before and after every course, bringing plates and silverware and whisking used ones away. We had the Oysters Rockefeller and the meatballs as appetizers and the Wagyu rib eye and the Chilean sea bass as entrees. They were prepared to absolute perfection! No need to drive to Chicago with a venue like this only 5 minutes away. The floor manager also came over to check on our progress and was there to bid a fond farewell as we left! I'm trying to go back tomorrow, quite frankly. Looking forward to trying a couple of other menu items. Ten stars! Five aren't good enough.

Those who travel on I-94 and I-80/94 from Illinois to Michigan and vice versa won't know about…read moreLeroy's unless they divert their travels to U.S. 20. There in the town of Porter lies Leroy's, roughly a mile east of Exit 22, a place we frequently passed by over the years but never checked out - til last nite. And though a wee bit apprehensive upon arriving, those hesitations quickly vanished upon entry. Admittedly it can get noisy in the main area (wherein lie the bar, band stage, pool tables and some seating arrangements), which you have to pass thru (a bit awkward) to get to the main dining area (quieter but not totally devoid of noise). Compounding the noise factor were a few babies who let everyone know how they felt. But it wasn't too long before they stopped crying and the band concluded. However, regardless, none of it deterred me, my mixed race son or his mom from having a memorable time. Whatever noise existed was compensated by an overall delightful atmosphere. Not quite what we anticipated but it was so cool. From the moment we sat down at the one remaining unoccupied booth (open seating) til departing, all three of us had a wonderful time. The food was just terrific. The combo plate (mine), the chicken con queso (my son's dish) and chicken en mole (his mom's) were all tasty with good portions and fairly priced (the rice and beans particularly tasty). It's also not often you can get a good selection of meals under $15 these days but here you can. The salad was quite notable since all premium greens were used, no head lettuce or romaine. Impressive. The salsa could perhaps use a little oomph but hardly bad. The complimentary chips looked homemade and were good but could have used a bit more salt. We did initially ask for our chips instead of being automatically delivered but they came fast and as soon as we finished the first batch, a second was quickly delivered to our table. We also had to request sour cream as it didn't come with the meals but was also promptly brought to the table and also at no charge. The pop and free refills, served in decorative glasses, rounded out our stay. But as much as the food was worth what we paid for, equally memorable was the attentive service from the git go. We could not have asked for better. Nicole, our waitress, was superb thru and thru, perfect. Same with Brandon, her husband, who looked like a supervisor and came to assist wherever needed (as he did with the bringing of food and drink). He also took time from his schedule to chat with us at breaks and in doing so, hit it off with us. Not something we obviously expected but we loved it. Great guy as well as his wife. Both individuals were the faces of Leroy's and they sold it oh so well. We all don't have that kind of money to eat out that often but with the fine food and unusually good service we will have to find a way to soon return to Leroy's. Despite the noise, very highly recommended and worth the drive, regardless of whether you live in Hoosierville or just passing thru. One of those hidden gems. Ignore all the old whiny reviews. Leroy's is indeed good stuff and for good reason.

It's the best thing I have found in the Chicago/Indiana area. I'm afraid to say that no one is as good as Texas. The queso was really good along with the chips and salsa. They offered me a 26 or 32 oz Michelob Ultra Draft, I opted for the 32 oz. The server could have been more attentive, especially since there were just about 4 two toppers and 1 group of six. We held a conversation without having to yell, and was quite pleasant. The atmosphere was great. Santa Fe is definitely one of my top five Mexican restaurants outside of Texas.

The place is right behind Buddy and Pals off Randolph. Everything was a hit. Obviously it would have been better/fresher in the restaurant, but that's the nature of carry-out. Partner and I loved the pastor tacos, the guacamole was flavorful and fresh, the kids adored the chicken taco and enchiladas we got them. My mom said the carnitas were perfect, a favorite dish of hers that tastes just like at the older location. The chips were tasty with a hint of salt, and the bag was nice and oily - a sign we weren't getting dry old stale chips :) I want to go back, and dine in, and try a margarita or a draft beer with my meal. Definitely stop in and give it a shot!
