1000% recommend! The food was amazing and beat every expectation. Everything made in house. I've never been a fan of sauerkraut but I ate the entire portion. Pierogis were outstanding. Service was phenomenal. Met the owner on the way out and made sure to tell them we will definitely be back. Cannot beat the price either. read more

I came in and bought 2 scoops of ice cream and gave a tip, I then asked if I could sit down in the back of the completely empty restaurant, I was told no and that the seating was only for "fully dine in customers only" if I would've known I couldn't sit down I wouldn't have came in, in the first place. The ice cream was only so so maybe a 6/10 read more

I've only been here once so take it with a grain of salt. Came on a Sunday around 3:30. There were maybe 3 tables. When we walked in no one greeted us so we went to find a seat and then some guy showed us the sign that said please wait to be seated pretty rudely (it was turned around not even open for the public to see) - Luckily we looked at him weird "like who are you" and then a hostess greeted us so we were done with him - which is good. Really hope he wasn't the owner because that's not how you greet someone, especially when there's three tables filled only. Regardless - We opted to sit in the movie room - hence my blue photos. The service was really long, but we got our waters, and a drink each and watched a movie while we waited for our order. Server said the burgers are excellent. I got the double cheeseburger. I promise you, it was the worst meat I'd tasted in a very long time. Why? It was completely over seasoned with salt and pepper - I am talking inedible...Could not finish it. We also got a salad with grilled chicken on it. The dressing was good but didn't have much lettuce on it - just a lot of toppings. Overall - we won't spent our money here again. read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch and was completely surprised by the theater in the back. Choose your own movie order some food and just relax. Movies have to be PG13 or less but still pretty cool. The service was good. Plenty of staff to help. I had the polish plate and the pierogi and potato pancake were outstanding. The stuffed cabbage was also good. Definitely a new place to stop by when you are in the area for lunch. The place was nicely decorated and the back area where the theater is a little dark but nothing a phone light can't cure when reading the menu. There is street parking. read more

Wings and fries for a quick dinner and can watch a movie (didn't stay for the whole movie). Sweet spicy wing sauce was good. Wings a little small though. Very very attentive server. Service was awesome!! The place is a little run down but it is an old town and probably didn't have a huge budget to set up. Good points and bad points but was nice to try out. read more

Hubby and I arrived midday and found the diner with few customers. We chose the back room with the movie since it was an option for lunch. Mandie N seated us and suggested a movie she thought we'd like (popular children's cartoon). Hubby ordered the Zuzu's Got Beef with fries and a sweet tea. I ordered a Solon with Onion Rings (extra). The Solon includes a runny egg and bacon--which was actually quite tasty. During the time we waited, a trio came in with one small boy. When we finally got our order, I discovered the onion rings (although they look good in the pic (couldn't see them in the dark, of course), were over-cooked and the batter hard. Hubby, now an admitted light-weight was not able to finish his sandwich, although he thought it was also tasty. It was explained that the server was alone, performing all duties and we allowed as how it might have been a problem handling the food orders with waiting tables, although hubby's fries were great. A different experience and one you might try, particularly if there is additional staff on hand. read more

Great service! What a cute place, also the pierogis and cabbage rolls were fantastic! Love the movie theater in the back. Great for kids

Cool atmosphere but we were there and waiting 40 minutes before we found out they were completely "out" of pierogi. Not sure how a pierogi restuarant runs out of pierogi. Sad we drove 45 minutes out of the way to try this place. We ended up at McDonalds next door. read more

This is a great place to take the grandkids! A movie and food ! The pirogies are great!!! The kids had wings and nuggets all good. The fries were delicious. We highly recommend this place for lunch. Great for kids ! read more

Excellent Polish Platter, the Golumpki were especially good! Nice friendly timely service!

Long wait for food, service was sub par. Came here for lunch before a VB tourney. Thought we'd have plenty of time because we had an hour until we needed to leave. Was seated quickly in the back room. Cute room with a movie playing on a big tv. There were two other tables occupied in the back when we got there. Ordered drinks and those came within 10 mins. Ordered food when drinks were brought out. We ordered a kids chicken nugget and fries, a kids cheeseburger and fries, a regular hamburger, 8 bone in wings, and the 3 pierogi's. 40 mins later and still no food. At this point we had 10 mins before we needed to leave so we asked the waitress if she had an idea of when food would be out. She said it would be just a little bit longer. 5 mins later, still no food, so I took the two girls and we ended up going to McDonalds next door because they were starving and needed to get to VB. My husband stayed at the restaurant to wait for the food. So after getting McDonald's, dropping girls off 10 mins away, and then coming back to the restaurant our food was still not ready!! 10 more mins and finally food arrived. No silverware, no napkins, no condiments. Even asking for ketchup the waitress forgot and this happened to the other tables as well as its a small back room and you can hear them asking for the same items. Food was ok, nothing amazing. Would not recommend this place. read more

Unfortunately I wanted to give this spot a better reviews but me and my friend came in and sat down on a Saturday at 2pm, there was a table of four in the back, and us two. We put in our order after the table of 4, and I can see into the kitchen the entire time. Why did it take the one cook an entire HOUR (we timed it) to even touch the ticket, by that time we were both over it and hungry so we cancelled the order and left. Very disappointing, not sure if it's a staffing issue or not but I've never cancelled my order and left a spot. The girl in the front was very nice and greeted us on the brighter side. read more

We decided to come in on a Monday and it started to get a bit busy for Mandy who happened to be on her own. We weren't in any hurry so we decided to order, it happened to be our first time. LET. ME. TELL. YOU! AMAZING! She gave exceptional service and did i tell you she was on her own? She had 3 tables and online orders she was fullfilling. We will definitely be back. THANK YOU MANDY! read more

I'm sad to say I was not impressed with this place. The one positive thing about it is it's diner style decor. They do have movies playing in the back room which is good for the kids to be entertained. Next on this review is the customer service rating. They were severely understaffed on the day I came in only having one server while the other was doing door dash orders apparently . Every time we wanted service from our server for refills etc she took forever to get back to us. Lastly, the food experience was blah I had a burger and cheese fries. The burger didn't have much of a taste whatsoever. The cheese from the cheese fires had a weird after taste. I did enjoy the diner type ambiance however I want to enjoy the food I'm paying for. Unfortunately, I won't be returning to this establishment. read more

We love coming here. The pretzels, perogis, burger, and stuffed cabbage are delicious. The kids love coming to watch a movie and eat!

Very friendly and nice place. We enjoyed it. They showed a cartoon on Halloween this year for kids. read more

Came here for dinner one night and the food was amazing! Also, they have movies playing in the back and that was so fun!

I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. The customer was nearly as terrible as the food that was served. At no point did any server nor the owner asked me if my food was okay even though I only took one bite and pushed it aside. Even when cashing out I was not asked how my food or experience was. I am not one to ask for a discount however I do feel it should have been offered. The cost of the meal was a lesson learned and as a local resident I will not only choose not to return but I will advocate that no one else in the community dines at this establishment. read more

The owner is not nice! The waitress told us we could pull tables together . Then what we are supposing is the owner comes in the back stares at us and says no, you cannot do this there needs to be a walk way. We said we were sorry the waitress said we could. He says they don't know any better!!. Then tells us to just leave it. Then he comes back 30 mins later after we moved the tables apart because he scolded us and yelled at us again that they were not far enough apart! After his young kids are in and out of the kitchen and we waited for an hour and half and never got our food! We paid for our drinks and left! My kids and I will never be back after how he treated us when we didn't even know we were in the wrong!! read more

So, my three stars are an Aggregate of several factors. Location is 4.5 stars, being almost in Crown Point town square, you still feel like you are there! Food, well, hard to mess up a chili cheese dog and fries. Service is what brought the score down. You walk in, nobody waiting to order and three workers allowing you to stand lost, 3 feet away from the ordering location which is not marked. Until someone else went up to order, I was ignored. I order a chili cheese dog with everything and get a chili cheese dog with just that. I brought it back to ask for mustard and onions and they lectured me on how there is no everything. I would expect when ordering for them to kinda give me a clue? Also, I interacted with 2/3 staff and they both gave me an unhappy impression. Especially the cashier, epic fail!! Sitting outside, very nice atmosphere but staff needs a class in customer service. Having said this, I would still come back knowing I have to order with precise instructions and no help. read more

This is an amazing place to go. The food is phenomenal. The owners and employees are so kind and caring, and the movie room that they have in the back is such a wonderful addition to the whole place. right now it is all dressed up for Christmas and it is like a Winter Wonderland in there. I just love it and it will definitely put you in the holiday spirit. the pierogies were so good all the food that everyone had was really great. You have to try this place out.!! read more

Have you been craving 3rd rate bowling alley foot court ambiance and cuisine? If so, Jax's Crown Town Grill is the place for you. I've been roped into eating here three times now and each time has been increasingly dissatisfying. I've tried the dogs, gyros, and chicken sandwich - all of which had the appearance and flavor profile of expired gas stations fare. If you're looking for American cuisine in Crown Point that isn't a violation of the Geneva Convention, do yourself a favor and try Station 21, One13 North, or literally anywhere else including McDonalds or the Speedway Gas Station. All of which will surely deliver more satisfaction than this war crime of a "restaurant." read more

2 hour food wait , the coldest room known to man . only 2 actual workers and screaming kids . biggest shit show and i prob don't want to wait another hour for food . ridiculous!!!!!! read more

Went during the afternoon for lunch and ordered a crispy chicken sandwich. After a few bites I looked to see that the INSIDE WAS RAW! For your own health and safety I recommend AVOIDING this place at all cost! read more

I found this place by accident while on vacation. It was so good. I loved that they have so many different hot dogs you can get. The hot dogs were phenomenal. The service was amazing. They are open late!! A plus is there is a lot to do around here. read more

Great atmosphere. Not too busy and the staff was very accommodating to my three year olds requests! We will return!

We wanted to grab a quick bite to eat with our kids in between shopping at the stores on the square. We had to wait about 40 minutes to get two burgers, a hot dog and a cheesesteak sandwich. The food was only ok. I'm not sure if they were low on help, but with only 5 tables, it seemed like service could have been more attentive. It will be a long time before we give this place another shot. read more

The food is always good here and the prices are reasonable. Nice atmosphere and people that work there. With staff shortages the service can be slow but that's not their fault. We eat here once a month and will continue to do that. read more

Food was absolutely disgusting. I wouldn't even feed it to a stray dog. Staff was nice. If the owner cared as much about his business as he did sucking down cigarettes in front of the entrance then maybe the food would be of better quality. Sad when your parents buy you a restaurant and you treat it like this. read more

As soon as we walked in we were greeted and sat right away . Figured "oh wow what a great start this will be awesome". Got seated was asked our drink order (3 waters ) did not receive our drinks for 10-15 min. Keep in mind we sat in the section where they are playing movies there was one other family in the area with us and then one couple in the front dinning area . We were the first ones there . Fast forward to the food order first ones in last ones to order we waited about another 10 min for the waitress to come to our table to take our order after she got everyone else that just arrived . The food was mediocre and service was very poor. Was never checked on or asked if we wanted refills multiple times the waitress walked by and completely ignored us. Had to walk up to the counter ourselves to get our condiments and refills seemed to be quicker that way . I can understand a staffing issue but seen plenty of people behind the counter just standing around . read more

I'm sure this place has really good food but the buffalo chicken sandwich that I had not good. Thin breaded deep-fried frozen chicken patty with some buffalo sauce and blue cheese on it. I will go back to try something else but it won't be a chicken sandwich. read more

Indoor movie theater in back. 50s style diner in front. Great food, great service and super cool atmosphere.

Had food delivered, and it was fantastic and hot. The perogi's are perfect, and the burgers huge. Place is great if you want to take a break from making dinner; let Crown Town do it for you, you won't regret it. Keep it going CT grill. read more

This place has the most amazing chicken salad made fresh. A great old school feel. Amazing desserts. And a friendly atmosphere.

Right on the Fourth of July parade route and serves ice cream and beer. Big bonus! Parade route tables allowed dogs. Another big bonus! Great forth of July people watching. Food was ok. Hot dogs, hamburgers. Gyro just had pita bread and meat nothing else but the meat was good and moist. Cheeseburger seemed like a prefab patty, but it was still good for that caliber of hamburger. The garlic fries were really good and the highlight of lunch read more

Went there for the Polish food offerings, since they acquired Pierogi Square. We weren't disappointed! Food arrived fast and hot! We will be going back! read more

Decor on the inside is really fun - super diner-y and retro. Meals are expensive, though. Gyros combo meal had a skimpy quantity of meat. My sloppy joe was small and over $5 just for the sandwich! The unsweetened iced tea tasted syrupy and off. They have Valpo Velvet ice cream, which can't be beat. As an aside, no matter what your leanings, I don't think ANY business should have their political affiliations on display. So the Mitt Romney bumper sticker taped to the front of the register annoyed me. read more

This place is super cute and the workers are really nice! Place is pretty clean and has a 50's/60's diner theme. So my friend and I couldn't make up our minds so we split sandwiches. They worker was nice enough to split it in advance and put it in the basket for us! How nice! The fries were great! Usually I have a few and move on but I ate them all!! My friend and I split a Philly Cheesesteak and a Pulled Pork. Next time I will have to try something else because I am picky when it comes to these two things. The cheesesteak to me was really just an Italian beef. It was small and not very filled with meat or cheese. It was still tasty but not a good Philly. If I was dead set on having a good Philly I would have been bummed. The pulled pork was okay, it again was pretty tiny. I think I ate 1/2 in less than 3 bites. Bun was smushy, sauce was sweet and pork was kind of mush too. Next time I would try something else, perhaps a hot dog. Like I said, I am pretty particular about these 2 food items. I will give it another go sometime and update my review. read more

Great food and great service! The staff is so helpful!! Great spot to get some yummy food! I recommend the gyro platter. I would also recommend getting their Valpo velvet ice cream YUM! read more

Fantastic burgers, awesome hotdogs, amazing pizza puffs, and the greatest gyros and french fries I have ever had! Not to mention, they have an awesome beer selection. This is one of my absolute favorite places. The staff is great. I have been coming here for years and it feels as if the staff and I are family. The staff is always so kind and helpful, even when they have some crazy nightlife. This place stays open until 4 a.m. on weekends. The only issue that I have ever had with this place is that they are not open on Sundays. If you are on the Crown Point Square and need a bite to eat or need a scoop of ice cream, be sure to stop in at Crown Town Grill. read more
