Today I ordered delivery from the website and upon delivery I was given the wrong food. I called the restaurant and the lady on the phone was rude. I told her I received the wrong food, she checked the order and she realized the restaurant got the order confused. I ordered a steak skillet, they sent me a half cooked steak. (see photo) She tells me she doesn't have any delivery people available and all she can tell me is sorry. She confused me by saying the website that said griddle24.com is not ran by the actual restaurant so she can't refund my money. I'm VERY upset and I feel like they've stolen my money. I ordered what I wanted, I paid for what I wanted, and at no fault of my own, I can't get the food I ordered nor can I get my money back. They'll never see me nor my family again. WORSE CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER! DO NOT RECOMMEND!!

Found a couple promising choices and we settled on northside diner. And it was a great choice. Inside it has that quirky retro 50s, nostalgic feel. Memorabilia and art around the small building. Standout performances by the service staff. As it should have been, it was extremely busy on a Saturday morning. There also happened to be a festival in town. Which may have even subtracted from the amount of people waiting to get a booth, as there were some food trucks and other activities going on. But that being said, we sat at the little counter and ordered your basic breakfast with eggs and bacon and toast plus some biscuits and gravy and I was pleased that I didn't order the full-size biscuits and gravy because the half size was as big as a normal size at other restaurants. Gravy was full flavor, not gritty at all, and there was more than adequate amounts of sausage. Sometimes you have to play hunt the sausage, which is just a scary statement. I had ordered an extra well-done sausage patty just in case I needed to cut up more and had it. But I would've been OK without. Happy with our choices plus a tremendous value. Highly recommend anyone coming into the Indiana dunes area looking for a great breakfast value I believe the place closes at 1 o'clock, so keep that in mind. Now we were there on a Saturday so please check hours. Enjoy.

I was contacted by management for Black Bear Diner. He was genuine, and kind and very apologetic. We had a nice conversation; I explained what happened and he asked if we would consider coming in and giving them a second opportunity. I told him that we will try it. I am appreciative that they took the time to reach out to me. A lot of places will not do that. read more

Seven of us went in for dinner, three out of seven ordered 1/2 chicken dinner. All 3 dinners had pieces of chicken pink and bloody, yes bloody! We Called the waitress over she said she would let the manager know (she didn't even want to touch the chicken). Well the managers excuse was it has a timer the timer went off so chicken is done there is no way to know if it is done & instead of giving them new chicken since the plate is now contaminated she wanted to just throw that piece back in the fryer with the chicken that the breading is already gone- so we asked for a new piece. I mean the least you can do serving is raw chicken. And hasn't the restaurant heard of a thermometer that's how you check if the chicken is done! I would think that a place that is supposed to be known for their fried chicken would know how to cook fried chicken. So my husband had ate the soup that came with his dinner because he thought he was gonna be eating a fried chicken dinner and you know that they charged him four dollars for that chicken when they never rectified his chicken being raw. So he ate nothing he was so aggravated with the manager, who is the owner's wife sitting there arguing with him about this raw chicken on his plate I mean, totally absurd. We were looking for nothing extra. The manager continue to argue with us because I could not believe she was charging us four dollars for his soup. I mean, the man didn't even get a meal! I've never in my life seen such a raw chicken. Served me at a restaurant. The manager was completely rude. She did not want to help us. She did not even say sorry. If you want a meal like that in Wilmington, I strongly suggest going to Wilmington family restaurant instead. There was so much more to this we just couldn't even believe it was happening. I mean to say that oh we don't know when the chicken is done and then she said it's not like I could cut into every piece yeah that's where the thermometer comes in. I asked to speak to the owner and quickly was told that that is the manager's husband so that's gonna go nowhere. I'm just forewarning. You do not eat here by all accounts. Do not eat here. Oh and I had ordered a half slab of ribs and they came to my table half of them ice cold I sent them back and they microwave them. That's what I thought was bad at first, but the raw chicken became the worst! DO NOT EAT HERE! To serve raw chicken and then sit there and argue with the customer!
