Giuseppe's Pizza

We are proud to offer authentic Neapolitan pizza here in North-West-Indiana. Our Staff has been trained by an Italian Master Pizza Chef with over 30 years of expertise. The 19th Century recipe begins with pizza dough that is made with Imported Italian flour, fresh yeast, and sea salt. Next, Imported Italian San Marzano tomatoes, plus fresh herbs and spices, are blended into a flavorful pizza sauce. Finally, Fior di Latte Mozzarella or Imported Italian Buffalo Mozzarella melts to perfection as the pizza is charred in our 900 degree Stone Wood Burning Oven. This 19th Century Italian tradition is a very meticulous process which results in a Neapolitan pizza bursting with intense fresh flavor.

I think this pizza is better than the well known, highly rated establishments in the Chicagoland area. My wife and I were introduced to Giuseppe's by her sister a little over 4 years ago. We have to have this pizza every time we visit her in Schererville which, unfortunately, is only 4 or 5 times a year. If Giuseppe's opened a restaurant in the northern suburbs of Chicago, the visits would increase tenfold along with my waistline, I'm sure. On this last visit, we sampled the meatballs and sauce. The owner explained that everything was freshly made. We all agreed that the it was out of this world. During our next visit, we can't wait to try several of the dinners that come with meatballs which we should have tried long before this. But, with limited time, we always order our thin crust pizzas to go and pick them up at the very convenient back window. By the way, we get a family sausage and mushroom and a large spinach and mushroom to ensure leftovers. Though, on this last visit, we are left with slim pickens thanks to me. What can I say? It's that good.

Portillo's

Home to America's favorite Chicago-style hot dogs, Italian beef, burgers, salads, and chocolate cake.

Reviewed By Neal D - Crown Point, Indiana

If you're from this area you know exactly what you're getting with Portillos. They have over priced hot dogs, burgers, italian beef sandwiches, etc. For the exorbitant price you'd expect big flavor and something that will knock your socks off? Sorry to burst your bubble but it's tasteless beef and your run of the mill char-grilled burgers and dogs that you can get at literally 50 other places for cheaper in the area. Save your time because the lines are extremely long and save your money because you arent getting out of there without spending a minimum of $15-$20 per person while the owners of this establishment are laughing all the way to the bank. Read up, or even stumble into the dozens of other greasy spoon local joints and get the same food for much cheaper why spend more for just a name?

The Scrambled Diner

Reviewed By Mich328 - Park Forest, Illinois

Always enjoy this restaurant. You will leave satisfied. Homemade ketchup and jams. My favorite is the lobster roll for lunch. It is served with lettuce, tomatoes, and fries. The menu additions can be found on the chalk board above the grill. For breakfast, l enjoy the two eggs, choice of meat and type of toast. If you go on a Sunday, expect to wait. Also, you may choose to eat outside!

Munster Donuts

Reviewed By GoButler99 - Zionsville, Indiana

Was in Munster for work and wanted something quick for breakfast. Nothing better than a donut!
I was pleasantly surprised with delicious donuts! These were fresh, tasted outstanding and there was plenty of variety! The staff working at Munster Donuts were super friendly too!
Highly recommend!

Bomber's BBQ

Reviewed By HarryBGurnee_IL - Gurnee, IL

Trolling the Southlands for a late lunch, my phone led a jaunt East across the border, into Indiana. Never off-put by a humble storefront (best recent BBQ reviewed at a GAS STATION in MO!), I sidled up to the counter....

A very friendly young lady ran me down the daily specials, while a Q-master dude detailed the chili's contents. So, a pound of tips, sides of chili and curly fries (arrived crisp as ordered); we were off to the races.

Unless pulled hot from the smoker and chopped to order, tips are tricky - falling below oven temp they tend to harden and dry out quickly, if not sauced. These were neither, which might have dismayed some. They were, however, really well smoked and tasted richly of rub. Three puddles of their "not killer hot" sauces gave just enough juice as I dissected the pieces. There was minimal fat, and virtually no cartilage. The trim was excellent!

The chili was also noteworthy for multi-textured presentation of meats - one can easily tell what was being eaten. Just spicy enough, served hot. My only criterion for curly fries is that they not flop around - these were crisp and fresh. For a joint with no stove (only smokers and fryers), they're doing OK. If I'd wanted brisket, however - my usual requirement is a grilling and slight blackening treatment of the slices. Same true for hot links - a split and grilled presentation is best, I say!

Wouldn't have minded some cooked greens on the menu, too - but after all, this is NORTHERN Indiana! Overall, pretty well done for 20-somethings..... but room for a tweak or two.

Lucrezia Ristorante

We are a high energy Italian trattoria. Our service is more formal, but we are very casual. We have been voted #1 Italian Restaurant in NW Indiana for consecutive years. We make everything from scratch. Leave the passports at home and visit our Italian house!

Reviewed By AnneFDF - Luxembourg City, Luxembourg

We had lunch and dinner several times at Lucrezia's during our stay in the area as there aren't too many places outside the city of Chicago serving quality food according to European or International standard in general, and at affordable prices. I recommend this restaurant to any international traveler as there should be no bad surprises. Lucrezia's enjoys a good reputation among the locals.

95ate5 Brew Pub

95ate5 is hand built by the owners and the people that work here. From the food, to the wood working, to the beers, everything is hand crafted with locally sourced products. We are a restaurant that also brews beer, a chef oriented eclectic Americana scratch kitchen supporting all other locally crafted breweries, spirits and wines.

Reviewed By Mary M - Hobart, Indiana

Celebrated the birthday of grandpa at this fine eatery and pub located off the beaten path in a somewhat industrial area. What ambiance! We started with their infamous pretzels and beer/cheese dip followed by some of their "in-house" beer specialties. We feasted on their soups, salads, lake perch, cod, shrimp scampi and chicken. All dishes were "delicious" and our server was always ready to refill and answer questions. This place is "family friendly" as we noticed many adults bringing their children. The bar area is really unique and we plan on returning with friends to try making some "Moscow Mules"! Great place.

Theo's Steaks & Seafood

Reviewed By KompassionateDr

My husband decided to treat me to dinner at Theo’s restaurant. Dining at this establishment was a first for us both. His choice was an excellent one. We had a 6:00pm reservation, thank goodness because the wait time for walk-ins was an hour to hour and a half.

The ambience was romantic and quaint. The Valentine’s Day menu had excellent options that made choosing difficult. We decided on the following:

Appetizers- Oyster Rockefeller
Soup- My husband had the cheddar broccoli soup. I had the lemon rice soup
Salad
Main Course- My husband had the 18 ounce New York strip steak and twice baked potato. I had the petite filet mignon, 4 fried shrimp, twice baked potato, and vegetable medley.
Dessert- My husband had the carrot cake. I had the raspberry cheesecake.
Drinks- Tickled Pink and lemonade

The food was seasoned just right, the steaks were tender and cooked to perfection, and the drinks were mixed just right (bar tender was awesome). Everything was perfect. The plates are portioned just right for the price. The menu was reasonably priced.

Make sure you come with an empty stomach, because you definitely will leave with full, satisfied, and with a to go bag. We will definitely dine here again.

Coopers Hawk Winery and Restaurants

Reviewed By paulak22 - Demotte, Indiana

Night out with friends. Ordered lobster bisque and short rib risotto. I absolutely love Coopers Hawk Lobster Bisque and could easily make a meal out of it. However Saturday night something was way off with the bisque. So much so that I asked our server if this was the lobster bisque. This bisque was full of chunky raw vegetables, the flavor was off and not a single bite of lobster. Our server returned and said she talked to the chef and he agreed it “could have been better” she also said it depends on the chef that day how it will turn out. So I guess I will have to ask for a sample from now on prior to ordering lol. I only took a few bites. Server returned to our table just as our meals were set in front of us and asked how everything was. We Hadn’t had a chance to take a bite yet. My first two bites of risotto were very fatty. I could not take a third bite. She did not return until she asked if we saved room for dessert. I had plenty of room but did not want to chance a disappointing dessert. Not happy that we were charged for the bisque considering the remarks from our server.
This night was a miss.
