The service was GREAT!!! My server, Jim ( I hope I remembered his name correctly) was so helpful with food recommendations. Also, Joel was helpful as well. Every chose was delicious! Sorry I snapped pics after most of the food was eaten.

Try the BONELESS CHICKEN WINGS! Highly recommend because it’s made out of real chicken breast. When the bartender told me I thought like meh, he’s just trying to make a sell, but no! They are so good and crispy. The fries weren’t good, so skip those. I had the Apple Rancher drink and it looked so small in the cute glass, but it was mighty! And everything was so affordable I was shocked. Definitely going back

Theres never a time that Im passing through merrillville when I dont stop here and enjoy myself. The Food is always top notch ( my fav is J’s Philly ) the cocktails are made right, Service is always on beat and the atmosphere is like being over at your friends house because everyone is there to relax and enjoy. Sriracha bourbon chicken wings Are to boot!!!!!

The food was great! I have to eat gluten free and it's still not as common as you'd think for restaurants to carry GF buns, but this place did! And it didn't crumble to pieces like most of them do lol. Plus, the service was fantastic. Joel was so attentive and genuine and made sure we had everything we needed. A great experience from start to finish!

Stopped in while traveling to eat dinner and watch the cubs. Food was decent and the cubs were on a nice large screen.

Our server Joel was FANTASTIC. Very attentive to all our needs. Forthcoming telling us the kitchen would be slow due to a big party. Drinks were good and his service was impeccable! Rare to see a server as good as him nowadays!

Great food! Service was awesome, but the only downside we experienced was that the audio for the Sunday football game was on so loud that we couldn’t have a conversation at our own table comfortably. We constantly had to yell and repeat ourselves. Otherwise, the food was awesome. *AFTER BUSINESS REPLY* - it was well after the Bears game, the restaurant was 1/2 filled... we WILL be back. We really enjoyed the food, we will just be mindful of sports days/nights
