I've always seen the road signs, but never stopped because it was tucked away in the cut between 3 railroad tracks leading to the US Steel Mill.
As we made our way through the American diner themed mom and pop cafe, our order was taken and immediately delivered to our table in a timely fashion with the food piping hot. The steam rippled off the pancakes and homemade hashbrowns like on the saturday cartoons I used to watch.
The owners were there and came out to check on us more than once. The portions were enormous and I THOUGHT I would finish it all. However, my belly was quickly satisfied. Not to mention, the affordable prices on the menu.
Thank you for serving the City of Gary and the surrounding communities!
A coworker recommended this place while we were at the mill doing a job. I came in a couple weeks later. It's about 15 miles from where I stay but it is definitely worth it. The food is high quality and the prices are fair. The restaurant itself is a quaint little place tucked away between two mills in Gary.
What a great place! Classy bright 1950's style decor. Very clean and family owned since 1994. Everything done right. Open early and always smiling. Paved semi truck parking.(Beware of low underpass on Mississippi St.)

I suppose that if you are a local or working with a nearby steel mill then you probably have checked out this place. If you are a traveler or just getting away for the weekend, like we were, then you may have no idea that this place exists. But it is a total Gem and worth a visit! The menu is expansive, but it is a menu that makes sense and focuses on breakfast and lunch. It's not like others that feature items all over the place with everything just of mediocre quality. Of course we didn't eat everything on the menu but we did put together a hodgepodge of items including omelettes, hash browns, toast, and biscuit and juice. The inside is decorated with fun signs and memorabilia, many of which are full of puns. The staff, well they were all amazing. I believe it was Kirsten that was our server and she was the highlight. She hustled and made sure our coffee with always topped off but also maintained that very delicate balance to not top off coffee that have the right concoction of creamer and sweetener inside. Again, unless you live nearby you probably would have no idea that this place exists but if you are reading this review then I can't help but to tell you that you need to visit. 5 out of 5 stars without a doubt.
Amazing food, unbeatable prices, and fantastic and quick service! An awesome spot for a quick and cheap great eat! My meal in the photo was a veggie omelette (egg whites), with wheat toast and hash browns as sides.
I love this place .. been eating here for years ! The staff is professional and very nice people. Can’t go wrong breakfast or lunch ..
Ate here while staying in Gary a few years ago. I haven't forgotten the warm hospitality, cozy interior, and great food. Next time I'm passing through I will have to stop here. An easy place to get to in an unassuming area of the city.
Great local restaurant with a small town hang out vibe. Chicken sandwiches are delicious, not dry, good and juicy with flavor. The fries are seasoned sort of like Rally' s but not greasy or burnt. They have daily specials. Menu prices are super reasonable. The potato soup I had was good. Good selection of red meat alternatives. Service was friendly and the food is quickly served . Out of the beaten path and close to the steel mills but worth a stop.
