We had the pleasure of enjoying lunch today at Theo's Steak & Seafood. Our meal was wonderful, and plenty of it. I enjoyed Chicken Piccata which was served with a salad and one side. All was delicious. Everyone enjoyed their meal and we will definitely be returning. Prices were very reasonable too!

Routinely grabbed lunch here when I worked not far away - food has always been amazing and the price very affordable. Now that I travel for work, I stop in whenever my travels take me near Munster.Did I mention the food is amazing? Delicious sandwich creations, savory pies, and salads. The desserts and pies are outstanding too! Probably among my favorites is the artichoke savory pie, the spinach savory pie, and the cream of mushroom soup. (Yeah they have proper names, but you will know it when you see it). I have tried many other items from the menu of the day, and have never been disappointed.My only issue is deciding what to get with the lunch special and usually doubling down and getting two things: one item I have tried and a new one - never disappointed!Menu is always changing, but is posted on FB so you can plan ahead and skip the meal before so you have room ;)

My husband heard great reviews about this place so we decided to stop in. First thing I noticed was how sticky the floors were. The overall atmosphere is drab. There is nothing exciting about this eating place. My husband and I both ordered burgers. One of my kids got a burger while the other had chicken tenders. The food was good, but nothing to really rave about. I thought that the chicken tenders were good, very moist. I will say, though, that the prices were great for the amount of food that we received. The service was good, though the waitress initially forgot the chocolate milks that we ordered and we had to remind her to bring them. Otherwise she was friendly and we received our food relatively quickly. I liked the food, but sticky floors and old-looking places are just not for me. This place needs a refresh to make it more exciting.

I read other reviews all the time and cannot understand people's dining tastes. I have been coming to the Commander for eons. Their lemon rice soup is the best and this is the main reason for lunch. We tried a croissant with ham salad which was not to bad. My other party had a croissant with corn beef and swiss which she said was good. I would give them a three except our fries were cooked in oil that fish was fried in. They tasted fishy. You need a map to get through their menu. Anyway, I hate to be a bearer of not a good review, but this place needs to revisit their meal preparations

Red Lobster is known as the foremost expert in fresh seafood. Our commitment to serving quality seafood starts long before you sit down at our restaurant. Fresh Fish, Live Lobster.

I had avoided Red Lobster for many years but this visit changed my opinion. The service was very good, attentive without being overbearing. and the food was good. It may be that this location is superbly managed, then it is possible that improvements to the food are responsible. The result being I am willing to give Red Lobster another chance. I would have given this restaurant 3 stars but the server earned them the additional star.

We were staying at the nearby Comfort Inn immediately off I-90 for a less expensive Chicago experience (much cheaper hotel, no parking fee, free breakfast). I searched for local nearby dining opportunities and luckily landed on Byway Brewing Company only one interstate exit away. They had a nice array of beers and the usual options of samples, small and pint-sized pours, which were great, but where they really exceeded our expectations was on the food. Don't let them kid you that the portions are individually sized. Only if you're a construction worker who just came off a 12 hour shift! we saw a party of 3 splitting their noodle bowl along with several sides. My husband and I could have easily split either the delicious house burger with bacon-onion "jam" or his braised garlic short ribs with charred tomatoes and seared onions gyro on a pita. Wow! Definitely several notches above the usual pub grub. We split a cup of sweet potato soup embellished with sesame and paprika oils that began divine then turned truly heavenly when we hit the sour cream lurking in the bottom of the cup. My husband's "gyro" came with french fries with garlic, salt and pepper. I opted for their house chips, which were equally good. After sampling several of their beers both of us chose things we don't normally: I went for a Sunny Vale IPA that worked beautifully with the burger while hubby chose an unusual orange wheat beer. They also had a cherry wheat that was tasty, but a little too sweet for me. Reminded me a bit of the classic German beer cocktail "Berliner Weisse." All in all, an unexpectedly lovely evening. Our server Emily was attentive and as it got busier the staff seemed to look out for each other which I always apppreciate. The decor is typical brewing company industrial and the location, right off the freeway (but facing away from it) isn't redolent with ambiance unless you're into gasoline, but absolutely worth the very easy jog off the interstate to find. They have tables for bigger groups and outdoor seating also.

The absolute go-to for quick, convenient, excellent food. The standards for sure: Italian beef, dogs, burgers. Unexpectedly great ribs, and the star...the gyros platter. Such great pitas and tsasziki (sp). The staff has been there forever and can practically read your mind. Closed on Sundays.

Reviewed By Tula K
Schoops offers one of the most expensive burgers in this area and they simply do not rate as they did when I was a kid. You can get a fresher, better quality burger at any number of places and not have to remortgage your house to pay for the sides. As for the ambiance.....there isn't any. Someone should tear down all of these buildings along this strip on Ridge Road because they look like cr--p inside and out. The parking lots ehnd the need and overall also.

We came for a cocktail after a recommendation from our hotel. The martini and the mule were excellent. They donât âwater downâ their drinks. They were refreshing on a warm day. The complimentary chips and pickles were quite tasty. We also had fried green tomatoes as an appetizer. We asked for a side of horseradish which added âzingâ to the appetizer. Very nice place!

Fun - Loud atmosphere with good music. Exactly what you would expect for a micro brewery. Excellent selection of their own highly rated beers with plenty of guest beers to try as well. Food is delicious. Also have a carry out section where you can go in and purchase to take home. If you are around Munster and like beer this is not to be missed.
