Friday 7-31-26 lunchtime Really enjoyed the delicious grilled Smoke Burger on an Onion roll with Parmesan Garlic Fries, very good service too!.. thx read more

Best pizza in town. Friendly atmosphere. Great service. Would definitely recommend!

Locally owned with decent food. Their soups are always delicious. We always sit at the bar and the daytime bartenders are really nice. Not their fault, but I've been coming here for a couple of years and the other patrons sitting at the bar don't engage with each other. Very odd. read more

Great food and the server was incredibly nice and patient (we brought our dogs). We ate on the patio and she brought the dogs some water, checked on us frequently, and was accommodating the whole time. It was four of us and we got a lot of different food but the winner was probably my wife's Reuben sandwich and the French onion soup. The beef almost tasted smoked, it was so good. The French onion soup was perfect. The flavor, the melty cheese, and the onions, all baked in the signature lionhead bowl. The presentation was impressive. Anyway, I would definitely be back when we're in town. We had no leftovers. 5/5 read more

My daughter wanted me to pick up pizza here after I finished a hike with my grandson. She said it was very good. This place has a large patio and there are always cars in the parking lot when I drive by. When I walked in, I discovered why: it's very smoker friendly. For smokers, this would be a good place to hang out, drink beer and eat grub. Most of the customers were outside on the patio when I came by, and many were smoking. But I came by with my grandson who wasn't allowed in due to his age, so I ordered a large cheese and a large pepperoni for the family to take home. I chatted a bit with a few friendly locals and then waited in my car with my grandson and dog while the pizzas were baking. The parking lot is well-shaded. The bar is obviously a popular hang-out with the locals. There are several beers on tap and not all of them are cheap domestic corn beers. Then came time to pick up the pizzas. The pizzas were $34. Whoa. And when I got to my daughter's and opened the pizzas (which come on a cardboard plate and paper wrapper rather than a cardboard box), the cheese pizza looked smaller than the pepperoni. Even the pepperoni pizza had a piece missing along the edge. I felt ripped off. As for the taste, the pizza was OK but it's not something I'd order again. My daughter and I clearly have different definitions of what a good pizza is. I'm rating this place clearly on the pizza. If I were a smoker, I'd probably rate this place higher, so consider the bias. read more

First time there today. Not crowded stopped in for their Wed pizza special which was delicious. Nice waitress. But the place stinks like old beer and cigarettes. Dine outside to avoid the funk. read more

Ordered a thin crust pepperoni pizza and fried mushrooms. First time going there and it was half off all thin crust pizzas. Think this is only a deal on Wednesday. Overall the pizza was very good and so were the mushrooms. The whole meal was only 14 dollars (with the pizza being half off). Place was clean and pretty quiet. It is a smoking bar so that is also a plus for me. Only reason I'm giving it a 4/5 is because there was no music. I think this might be the only bar I've been to where it's dead silent. Went at 3pm and left at about 4:30pm and I only heard 1 song play for some reason. Dont know if they only turn the jukebox fully on until later at night or what. read more

Had a $6 beer and sat with smokers. Appears to be a local place where old men who smoke cigarettes complain about their upcoming surgeries

It's a must! If you like good wings and pizza. Great staff too! Just passing through. Apparently you can smoke inside which I did! Friendly staff and patrons! Maritza and Brylee were very hospitable. Hopefully I make it back through to try a few more of there menu offerings. read more

Staff was disturbingly rude to my mother and I last time we were in here. So much so that one cook came out and flipped us off several times. This because I smoked a cigar - something I've done before there but suddenly was told I can't. In addition, we ordered a steak sandwich to go and got home to find it was pure gristle - not even one bite was edible. Never again. read more

This establishment has no right to be a bar/restaurant to say they condone with the regulations set by the state in terms of COVID-19. The waitressses and bartenders do not even attempt to wear masks and allow their consumers to smoke cigarettes insides and have no respect for their customers. They have a full service bar which is against the state allowance of the next phase for the state of indiana read more

Amazing place to come hang out at. Great food and the prices are amazing too. The wait staff are always friendly, drinks are cold and has a relaxed feel. I'd recommend this place anytime over and over. read more

Another well-known local bar, makes me feel welcome in Indiana. Music selections were pretty good. It was cool to see the locals (and you know they go there every weekend) sing all the songs playing on the jukebox. I like that they have a pool table, but they only have one so you might end up waiting a while to get some game time. It's not really "Frat-ish" or "Rougher" in the way of music and patrons. I'd say overall the place is the middle ground when compared to that of the other local choices. As always it's a bar, so lots to drink, music to jam to and people to hang with - what more could you want. Pros: Beer, Pool Table, Parking, Juke Box Cons: Only 1 Pool Table Cost: $$ of 5 Overall Rating: 3.75 of 5 Recommendation: Recommended read more

A hidden gem. Great home cooked comfort bar food. Stopped in en route from Cleveland to Chicago. Could not have been happier. Thanks Sherry! You're a wonderful server too. read more

I like the food here but this place is just too damn smoky to do indoor dining, 1 hour in this place and your a living cigarette butt, you'll have to wash your clothes and hair when you get home! To go orders only for me from now on unless I am in there within the first hour of opening or there is less than five to ten people in the building. Danny O's how about getting a working ventilation system installed to benefit all your customers. read more

Mushroom Swiss burger was done perfectly, medium with a nice grilled exterior. Very juicy with lots of flavor, skipped the bun. Ribs were super moist falling off the bone!!! Green beans were canned & BBQ sauce was sweet baby rays but our favorites at home so not at all bad, it's a bar. Beware, smoking is allowed. read more

Our favorite Wednesday night spot! We love to sit on the patio and have half priced pizza and cocktails. Heather and the other bartenders are very attentive, and remember their customers week after week. We love this hidden gem! Great specials, food, and drinks. We also love the tacos and buffalo perch. read more

This was our first time visiting Danny O's, we figured, why not give it a try? We are non smokers, but the sign on the door spells it out...there is smoking allowed here. It is a bar after all, pretty basic inside, no atmosphere to speak of. The young lady waiting on us was friendly, and attentive. She recommended the pork chop sandwich...she was spot on! Damn...it was delicious! Pork medallions, probably an inch and a half thick, wrapped in bacon, smoked and served on a crispy roll. Melt in your mouth, no joke! Potato salad was also tasty! We absolutely would stop by again just for that sammie! Once again, smoking allowed, they're up front about it...worth it. read more

Best pizza in Chesterton, gotta got the sausage thin crust. A bit pricey but worth it to splurge.

Pretty divey, charged $5.50 for a vodka cranberry. Older crowd. Left and went to Upper Deck instead.

I went at night so I did not get any food. The clientele were regulars, but friendly. The bar was dark and dank, but maybe cause it was already midnight. The bartender ( Jewel I think) was really nice and prompt. I forgot that you can smoke in some bars in Indiana, and this being one. A better ventilation system would raise another star, but it is what it is. read more

DannyOs has a real small town charm. Good home town cooking. The bartenders know your name and your drink. They remember to ask how your mama is doing. It's where my friends and I always go for a drink after work. Jen is our favorite, she always has a smile, a joke and the familiarity of a true friend even our first time in. She and Mindy are the reasons we come in and have grown to love joint as a whole. Those are our girls and I believe they single handedly keep this town friendly and homey. read more

Great food and great atmosphere. Would recommend getting the pork chop sandwich. Great food great drinks. Staff is great

I love this bar. Plenty of TV's to watch a game, and good music selection. The regulars seem pretty cool and it is definitely a bar without an attitude. My only complaint is that there is one bartender there who is awful. No personality and she thinks she is "hot", which is a real stretch. I had to ask her for a drink on more than one occasion and it wasn't that busy. She is useless. read more

The food here is really very good. The wings are done always right . The Pizza Italian beef and the pork chop sandwich are great, Really Triple D should do a show here! read more

A great place to hang out and eat some delicious burgers! The service was also awesome! I'd go again any time!!!

My lady and I visited here on 5/21 and I definetly won't be back. I ordered a chicken sandwhich and when it arrived, 2 bites into it I find that the inside is still gooey and uncooked chicken. I politely notified the waitress and she looked it it, commented how gross that is and apologized, then took my plate and threw it away. Upon receiving the bill I was told that I still had to pay for it. I have no words to say other than any restaurant that requires patrons to pay for unsanitary and illegally prepared food is not one I will return too. Apparently the fact that my family has been regulars here for nearly a decade doesn't matter. read more

Stumbled upon Danny O's, and at first was taken aback by the, um, rather basic appearance, but it was so much fun! The Italian beef and pizza are great, and the staff is exceptional. So friendly and welcoming. We headed to the bar for a couple of after-dinner drinks and had a really great night out. Excellent local establishment. read more

This place sucks...don't waste your time. It looks like it could be fun, but it is totally lame.

Great joint! Great food! Very comfortable place to be. Fantastic atmosphere. Just got Xfinity so the TV's have great pictures. Free Wi-Fi, too. New bar seating area allows for more space for everyone. Worth the stop! read more

Very dated. This is a place you take your 21-25 year old friends to. Ya know to drink and yell and smoke and be really loud with the waitresses that keep going back and forth to the bathroom and then return to take your order with their bright wide eyes talking fast and wiping their noses. ‍ It's a sports bar beer drinking buddy hangout. Did I mention again ....Lots of smoking and pool tables and those funky yellow smoke stained colored chairs. Food was .... (insert barf emoji) Pizza was a pre made frozen crust the sauce was flat without pizazz or zing. Canned and or frozen veggies on the pizza. We didn't order any other any of the very very limited menu items. Beer was cold and pricey. We sat next to the unlit fireplace with the plastic yellow flowers in the gaudy vase. Nice touch! We get it's a smoking venue but good Lord already. Even the staff is puffing away. So for 2 pizzas 4 drinks $90 holy shit I'm still not sure what's going on in this place of business on the back side but it's very curious. But I'd avoid this place it's pretty disappointing. read more
