We went for breakfast on a Sunday morning. The choices were excellent and the food was delicious. I had a vegetarian omelet filled with cheese, mushrooms etc. along with fresh fruit and choice of bread. For only 99cents one can substitute an excellent cinammon roll for toast.

My husband and I hosted an 80th birthday early dinner for my mom -in-law in June 2017. The hostess was very accommodating when we called for a reservation. They were equally as accommodating when we arrived. We had a number of senior citizens in our party with varying health conditions. We had to add new attendees at the last minute. People were late arriving. Pretty much all the stuff that can be a nightmare for the servers happened. The staff was WONDERFUL about everything. They accommodated every request. They let us bring a cake in and provided plates and serving utensils. Service was fast and accurate. Meals - American BBQ and VERY good - was served hot and with a smile. I had the BBQ chicken plate which was moist and tender. Servings are LARGE and really could be split between two people. The event was a HUGE success and we cannot thank the staff enough. The only think to be aware of is that the indoor seating are is LOUD and very hard to hear people talk. This was particularly difficult with a group of seniors. It was simply too hot to eat outdoors, which would have been quieter.

4. Marilyn's Bakery

What's better than stopping in a bakery after shopping (or picking) fresh strawberries, other produce or buying flowers and plants? Marilyn's Bakery is on the grounds of Johnson Produce, and there is lots of parking available. We enjoyed a strawberry donut ($1.50) and red velvet cupcake ($2.00) and delicious coffee. The strawberry pies looked amazing too. Worth a stop!

Very cute boutique type restaurant. Smiles on every face. Good cold beer selection and great burgers. The only drawback as I see it is only 8 tables. Also the service is very good too.

I recently went to my favorite breakfast spot for breakfast. The food is always fresh and delicious. I always see the owner as he frequently walks around the restaurant greeting customers. The food comes out fast and hot. There is something for every picky eater. I love their Greek omelet with delicious feta cheese. The portion sizes are huge. It's very family friendly and would recommend it to a stranger if they were looking for a good meal. You can really stretch your dollars here so bring the entire family. Enjoy!
7. Flamingo Pizza of Miller
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 36 reviews
Reviewed By stylusx - New Buffalo, Michigan
Flamingo deserves the highest rating just because it remains true to the original. Decades ago, you could get this pizza in Gary, then Glen Park....It was a slightly greasy, thin crust pizza...perfect bar food and was famous for it. That was then....but now, you can relive that in the Miller neighborhood in Gary. To top it off, they have great fried perch and very reasonable prices. Sure, the place is smoky, (sit in the back for better air) crowded, (there is good reason for this...) but very friendly.

Reviewed By Karen D
A family member had recommended this place so we stopped in for lunch on a Friday. The waitress was very nice and stayed busy the whole time we were there. The burrito zuizos were pretty good. While we enjoyed the food, we were disappointed with the atmosphere. The restaurant wasn't very clean....not just the dining room, but also behind the counter. I don't think we will be returning.

The house made lasagna was excellent. Large portions on all dinners. Other meals eaten here by the family included, perch, cod and a very flavorful salad. They also serve alcohol and the Mojito was good. Highly recommend.
