Stracks in Whiting on Calumet Ave, which is actually Hammond is a nice grocery store…read more My review is ilif the hot food Deli. The food is good when you can get it. I used to stop by once a week but had to stop because either out of fried chicken for an hour or two and three weeks in a row out of potato cakes(steak fries) and the employee would say they're out. I decided to stop in on a Saturday late afternoon and once again out of fried chicken. What's the point of selling chicken if you're out at dinner time all the time. I won't try it again.

I went for the bakery and although there were multiple selections, I was disappointed. Multiple…read morebread types were present and there were many muffins and cakes to choose from among the bakery items. Unfortunately, I didn't find any of the offerings extremely unique or enticing. Most items appeared mass marketed versus bakery made. The aisles surrounding the center table was very tight and two carts couldn't enter at the same time making shopping difficult. The store itself had tight aisles with a layout that did not flow well. Product availability appeared plentiful and checkout was easy though register lines backed into shopping aisles and impeded people's shopping. Parking was close though entry and exit was tight and difficult when cars entered at the same time. Surprised this bakery was listed in top searches for area. Disappointing. Won't be back.

Every so often we like to check out Jim's stomping grounds, which means poking around NW Indiana…read more So this weekend we hit some high spots and discovered a market he likes: Lykos European Food Market which is Croatian-owned but which carries a nice assortment of European food and drink. There are a lot of smoked meats and sausages, much of which are smoked on the premises according to the very nice lady behind the counter. She gave us each a sample of the pork neck which was delicious if a bit saltier than I like. Still, we knew it'd be wonderful when used in other dishes, so Dawn and I split a pound of it, and a nice, big loaf of bread, also homemade. We found all manner of canned and jarred food there, some familiar, some wildly strange to us with our Scandinavian background, but all fascinating. I got myself a jar of chestnut spread and a bottle of Bull's Blood, a Hungarian wine I'd long wanted to try. Dawn found some plum jam. We all got free chocolate! This is just a nice little place run by nice, friendly people and filled with good food and drink. If you love little ethnic markets the way we all do, check it out.

Bought all new tires and had an appt to have them installed. Got a phone call 20 min before to say…read morethey have to reschedule. The next appt was days away which was very inconvenient. Got there and there was only 1 tech and I was there almost 3 hours just for tire installation! They closed at 7 and I didn't get my car until 830! The tech did apologize for the wait but it was understandable since he was the only one but why double book like that?! I ended up calling the next afternoon because the car shakes when I'm driving over 50. I was told to just bring it back but when I got there they said they couldnt see me because they were double booked again! I was told to come back another day to have the tires rebalanced. To me that's a safety issue they need to fix!

The lady that greeted us was super friendly and outgoing! We got home and warmed up the tamales and they were FIRE!!! Yummy!

I come here very often, it's a North Hammond lunch break staple. You can't beat the dollar tacos!…read moreService is always very quick, the longest ETA they've ever given me was only 10 minutes. My go-to order is the steak tacos with cilantro and cheese with red salsa and a lime and it smacks every single time. Plus you can get yourself a drink and a dessert in the market as well, the store itself is extremely varied and convenient, but the dollar tacos is what shines the most for me
