Things that seemed strange, there was a sign on the door stating no outside food or beverages and I brought in my own water. The cashier looked at it while I ordered and she kept looking at it..I almost felt like she was debating on whether she should tell me I couldn't bring in my water....ultimately she didn't say anything about it..but it was strange. While I was waiting I witnessed a man order and pay and then decide he wanted a cookie..he was still standing at the counter. The same cashier said I'll ring it up for you this time but next time you have to get back in line. Again this just seemed strange. I don't know what's going on here but to nitpick about someone ordering a salad but not want them to bring in their own water or make someone get back in like to purchase an additional quick item seems pretty absurd to me.

This is not always as easy as it sounds (here's looking at you, yelp that still doesn't match VEGAN correctly)! But I digress. This is about food. Or specifically, pizza, dough balls, and calzones. All of which.................happen to be vegan, with an entire dedicated vegan menu. Let's get into the food itself: dough balls: great, but the seasoning was kinda meh. It was basically pizza dough with pizza seasoning, the sauce was good! Something actually *unique* for the dough ball seasoning would have been welcome (see: difference spice options). Pizzas were perfect to me, it was a good thicker sort of crust witout being over the top. The calzone concept was cool but also a bit weird - half was entirely dough. I mean, it was good dough, but I would have settled for a slightly less enormous calzone than just excess dough. Maybe it was a coincidence. I don't know. In the end, none of that is a detractor. Overall, this is a good place to go! I know not every restaurant is fully vegan and I can live with that, but a full vegan menu with options? You have my business!

This review is long overdue as my husband and I have been coming here for a few years--not…read moreregularly--but enough times to let people know to support this small, family-owned business. The ambiance is cozy and inviting with only 14 tables. Yes, only 14. Instead of expanding to the masses, this restaurant chooses to keep its vision to retain dining as the experience it should be. The murals on the wall, and the feeling of being in an outdoor cafe while remaining inside, is something you don't see much in the area. The food is always fresh and delicious. We've enjoyed lasagna, manicotti, carbonara, fettuccine, piccata (chicken with capers), Marsala, salad and desserts. The wine is served in large glasses so you get a nice serving to enjoy some Chianti or choose another nice Italian wine on the list. The restaurant serves wine and beer only, and coffee drinks. I've heard the pizza is great but haven't tried it yet. It always looks good when another table orders it. Carry out is available in the back of the building. The owner is very nice and will talk about his Italian heritage with a warm smile. This restaurant is truly a little gem hidden behind big box stores. It makes a nice date night too. Make a reservation on Friday or Saturday.

She only checked on me once, was very dry. What is worse after waiting about 20 minutes for her to take my payment, well that never happened. I went up to the counter to pay my bill. She picked up all of the other customers bills at their table.This was my 4th time dinning in, first time ever receiving this type of service. I felt HURT and VERY sad leaving. I never intentionally treat people bad. The other young ladies that waited on me in the past were very kind and attentive. She was clearly having a good day by the way she interacted with the other customers. Lastly after taking my payment she never stayed to see the transaction through. Immediately I took my receipt and left. No excuse for this type of behavior. I will never return to this establishment. Cafe Borgia, service is Top of the line. The owners greet you and talk to you.

If I could give less I would. Drive thru, woman tells me on the intercom as I pull up it's closed at 8:30, online it says 9:00. I go inside and the whole place is closing up, at 8:30, although dining room is open to 9:00. Rugs are rolled up, bread is bagged up, lights are shut down, employees are mopping and telling me they no longer have soup or Mac and cheese. Workers are rude and they try to charge me extra for bread because they state they need to put it in a bread bowl because they're out of baguettes, even though there is literally bags of bread all bagged up for trash right in front of me. I inquire further only to find out, they're not out of baguettes, they just already bagged them for the trash. Overpriced and rude service. You're open to 9:00, you close down at 9:00, you don't get to close 30 min early to go home. We all want to go home early from work but guess what, that's not how it works. read more

I stop by this Panera Bread in Schererville pretty often, and they never disappoint. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and genuinely seem to care about providing great service. My order is consistently fresh, accurate, and made with care, and the restaurant is always clean and inviting. It's one of those places you can count on for a great meal and a pleasant experience every time. Highly recommend! read more

We eat out fairly often, so we encounter a lot of different waitstaff, and it's rare for someone to stand out the way he did. Will has mastered the very fine line between being attentive and being intrusive. He seemed to appear at the table at exactly the right moment every single time--never hovering, but never leaving us needing anything either. In fact, my teenage daughter even commented that he always came by at the exact right time. We wanted for absolutely nothing. He anticipated our needs before we had to ask, kept the meal flowing perfectly, and made the entire experience feel smooth and relaxed. This was especially impressive considering it was a busy Sunday lunch rush. Great service like that makes a big difference in the dining experience, and Will truly made ours exceptional. If you get the chance to sit in his section, you're in very good hands.

There were more workers than customers which was the first thing that hit me. Second, the menu wasn't that easy to decipher. All I wanted was a simple tuna sub. I decided to get just the 6" sandwich since adding the drink and a bag of chips was no bargain. I paid nearly $10 for just the sandwich. I know inflation has caused prices to surge recently but I did not feel my meager sandwich was worth 10 bucks after I consumed it at home. I live very close by. If I would have purchased the simple combo, I would have paid about $20 and that was much more than I was willing to pay for such a lowly presentation and not very appetizing endeavor. It just wasn't worth the asking price. Gee, imagine what a family of four (4) would pay to be fed here? Sadly, fast food chain restaurants are quiet the costly alternative to filling your stomach these days. You'll never get rich being a frequent diner at Jersey Mike's, nor can you count on getting a nourishing meal. Better options remain for the discovery, I'll let you seek and find them out.

Instead I went and spent my $$ at Jersey mikes and was greeted nicely when I got there and was leaving. Definitely do not recommend this subway. Get better staff please!
