A Deeply Disappointing Customer-Service Experience…read more Among many wonderful experiences, there are unfortunately times when an experience is simply horrible. That is the only way I can describe the customer service I received at Chuck Wheeler's Vienna Beef Hot Dog Stand in Gary, Indiana. After waiting approximately one hour, I began placing my order with a young lady at the counter. Although I had already told her what I wanted, she asked her coworker to take my order instead. I found this odd, but I remained patient. She then looked at me with what appeared to be disgust and, although she seemed to be hoarse, yelled at me. Surprised by her behavior, I said, "Wow, I waited an hour for these hot dogs, and now I'm not sure I should have waited." She immediately snapped at me and said, "You are not going to disrespect me." She then refused to continue serving me and began taking the order of the person standing behind me while I was still at the counter. I stood there in complete disbelief. The cashier looked at her coworker, then back at me, and finally said, "Ma'am, she is not going to serve you." When I did not respond immediately, she repeated it. I want to be clear: I did not yell, curse, threaten, or disrespect this employee. I was simply shocked by the way I was being treated. If she was not feeling well or was unable to assist customers appropriately that day, she should not have taken her frustration out on me. I am originally from Gary and had returned home for my family reunion. All I wanted was a taste of the past and an opportunity to support a local Gary establishment. Instead, I left feeling embarrassed, disrespected, and deeply disappointed. This establishment is in serious need of improved customer-service training and a reminder that every customer deserves to be treated with courtesy, dignity, and respect. No customer should wait an hour only to be yelled at, ignored, and refused service without justification. I sincerely hope management addresses this situation so that no other customer is treated the way I was.

I'm BACK!!! And today we getting into the OLD SCHOOL…read moreKOOLAID! I'm not sure if it was on the menu when I first came, so I had to give it a try. Koolaid can be tricky (it's easy to make it too sweet or too watered down) but MEL DID IT AGAIN! It was a rainy gloomy day....but the moment I took a sip of that koolaid I felt like I travel back to 2 months ago when it was 90 degree weather. It felt like SUMMER in a cup. It felt like grandma made that koolaid. You know when grandma make the koolaid she put the perfect sugar, koolaid and water ratio. This was THAT. It was super refreshing and I loved that he didn't fill the cup with so much ice, if so I would have killed that koolaid where I stood. The koolaid barely made it home the way I was sipping and slurping. You the ONE Mel! Sn: The owner also changed the menu. I let him know that he had a mix up of peppers on his menu and he changed it right away. This is becoming my favorite hoagie spot (in terms of deli. They add a Taurus's sweet steak on the menu it will be over with!) Get use to seeing me Atleast once a week!!!!

The restaurant has dine in seating and super fast incredible customer service. I came close to closing time and was nervous I wouldn't be able to place an order but they were so happy to service us. I got the jerk potato because.. I LOVE JERK and it was perfect. Not just hot but a perfect spice. It was huge enough to split between two people and have some left over. There is a jerk alfredo potato that has my name on it and I thirsty to come back and try it. It's across the street from my old school HAST so I'm very familiar with the weird parking situation in the parking lot over there. However if this is your first time in that area I would suggest simply parking on the street.

The jerk dipping sauce is so good it is otherworldly; it will have you licking your fingers to get the last drop. The "yellow" chicken soup eats like a meal -- deeply delicious broth packed with big chunks of tender chicken, vegetables, and dumplings. If you've ever thought of going to Jamaica just for the jerk, you can save yourself a plane ride. This is the real deal. Plus, the husband-and-wife proprietors are the nicest people you are likely to meet. Highly recommended.

People, here is a genuine diamond in the rough!…read more I came in for something to drink and ended up not only with a bottle of IBC Black cherry cola but also with the 2 piece jerk chicken box lunch to go. They give you a choice of dark meat or white meat and I chose the latter. The chicken was well cooked and mildly spiced, although the breast was slightly dry. As for the spice, for me it was fine, but I suspect it might be on the mild side for lovers of jerk spice. Not so with the bed of red beans and rice it was served on. This is an ample portion and was not only delicious but came with quite a spicy kick. Red beans and rice weren't the only side either, the cabbage the box lunch came with was tender and delicious. Wait is that white bread home made. Yes it is! You just don't see that in even some higher end places. This is a family owned place and I got a chance to talk with them a bit and what a bunch of really nice people. This place is currently nestled between the hotel villages to the West and Southlake mall on the East. There is more than one vacant business or building and the lack of maintenance on the surrounding grounds made me wonder if the restaurant was open for business. I am glad it was. They certainly make up on the inside for what is lacking outside. The interior has ample dining space, is cheerfully decorated in an island theme and they have reggae playing softly in the background. The owners mentioned they are looking at a more welcoming location close by. But if you are looking for an inexpensive but delicious box lunch give this place a try. I don't think you would be disappointed.

A LOCAL CLASSIC! I…read moreloved this spot so much I ended up coming back twice. It has that classic late night comfort food vibe and feels like one of those staple spots you have to try at least once. First night I ordered a polish hot dog with everything on it and a fish sandwich w/ extra grilled onions. Super cool that your order comes with fries and I added a cheese cup both times. In my opinion the fries were mid the first go around, but second time they were better. Definitely tasted better dipped in cheese. They were kinda airy in texture, if that makes sense. Polish hot dog was around a 6.5-7/10 for me. It did taste better warmed up the next day. What I was most obsessed with was the double cheeseburger and fish sandwich! both were easily a 10/10. Super good prices and worth the money. Also, the chile peppers were sooo bomb and hotter than I expected ! I wanted to eat them all, but they were packing some serious heat! The lemon Italian ice is where it's at, make sure to order one! You can also mix it with strawberry, but both times people recommended the lemon and now I see why. The line gets super active and busy past 10-11pm, but during the daytime it's way less crowded. Even when it gets packed the line moves pretty quick. They stay open late and close at 1am which is nice.

Both were nice and hot. Fries were crispy and that first snap into the juicy sausage was worth the trip. No seating, so be prepared to eat in your car and get a bit messy. Also be warned the peppers are legitimately spicy, those serranos had my partner sweating. Glad I tried it, but not something I'd eat all the time, great late night drinking kind of food.
