The bag boy from upfront met me as I made my order at the meat counter, telling me I needed to leave because trucks weren't allowed in their parking lot. The sign says no truck parking, as a truck driver that means no overnight parking. What it means at Eastside is we don't want businesses from truckers. We will ask them to leave while they are shopping with no exceptions. I felt the need to call back and tell the manager/owner/boss why I was disappointed that I was forced to leave before I spent my money. He proceeded to cut me off when I started to explain telling me that he had been in business 35 years and the loss of truck drivers will not break his bank. I was hoping to build a long-term relationship with a locally own business by voting with my dollars. My dollars will now be saved and spent elsewhere. Sorry, I can't give a review on the quality of food because I was not allowed to purchasing anything.

The people here were very helpful. I wanted to do a day trip to the Indiana Dunes from Chicago, and…read morethey were conveniently located across from a train station and they rent bikes. The plan worked great: got off the train at Beverly Shores, grabbed some snacks, rented some bikes. They even found us one with a basket to carry our supplies, and recommended a nice loop to the Century of Progress Houses nearby, which was easy to do in the way to the State Park. On the return, I screwed up and didn't allow enough time to get back to meet the train. I turned in my bike, but my son got to the train platform just as it was time to leave. I ended up leaving his bike on the platform and calling the store to come get it, and they covered for my bonehead move. In short, they went above and beyond what I expected. We had a great time, apart from having to rush back, but that was all my fault. Highly recommend.

What a fabulous venue for our baby shower event!…read more If you're looking for a truly special venue, Blue Moon Barn and Vintage Market is an absolute hidden gem just over the Illinois border and south of Lake Michigan in Westfield, Indiana. Tucked away down a quiet, tree-lined country road setting feels beautifully remote--peaceful, private, and full of charm. So very worth the drive! The barn itself is nothing short of magnificent. With soaring two-story beamed ceilings and thoughtfully curated décor, every corner is filled with unique vintage finds sourced from around the world. The creative lighting alone is stunning and creates an unforgettable atmosphere, whether you're hosting a daytime gathering or an evening event. There is even an Airbnb guest apartment inside the barn! Inside, the over 5000 sq feet of event space is both elegant and functional. The long, 12-foot wooden tables add to the rustic sophistication, and the full-service kitchen makes hosting seamless. There's also plenty of parking, which makes things easy for guests--something I've found is often overlooked but so important. What truly sets this place apart is its heart. The property is situated on an 80-acre animal rescue acreage, and the events hosted there help support that meaningful mission--something as a guest I felt good about being part of. And a special mention goes to Jen, the hostess, who is warm, incredibly accommodating and welcoming. Her attention to detail and genuine care make the entire experience even more memorable. In my opinion, whether you're planning a special event, wedding, or simply visiting, Blue Moon Barn offers a one-of-a-kind experience that blends rustic beauty, thoughtful design, and purpose in the most wonderful way.

The crab cakes were good, but the portion was a bit smaller than I anticipated for the cost (I think I paid somewhere in the ballpark of $11). My mom thought the spicy cabbage on the side was too spicy, but I thought it was delicious. As for the deep dish grilled cheese- yes please. Easily the best thing I ate all day. I don't know why pizza grilled cheese isn't more of a thing, because it was fantastic. Well seasoned, a lot of cheese, and a great combination. I think it was about $7. I'd definitely eat from this truck again in the future.
