    It's fine, just wish my potatoes weren't cold and the hollandaise wasn't split. Service was fine.

    I absolutely love the lemon rice soup. It's soooo delicious. The rolls and whipped margarine are great too. The young waitress was lovely, too!

    Meat lovers omelette was delicious

    So my wife, daughter, and I are from out of town and decided to try this establishment out. It was a Sunday so we knew we had to get there before 10:30-11:00 in the morning so we would not have to wait on a table. After we were seated immediately, the serving staff was very prompt, attentive, and very friendly. The menu had a plethora of different choices and options for food, whether you wanted lunch or dinner (probably why it's brunch...haha). I had ended up getting the meat lovers omelette. Now this is the kicker. I was expecting to get just a regular omelette with a small amount of meat and cheese. When the server had set my plate down in front of me my eyes had widened as big as possible. Not because the omelette was gigantic, because it wasn't huge, but because it was stuffed with meet and the cheese was oozing out of it. Talk about going the extra mile to make a fantastic omelette. Plus there was a decent sized portion of potatoes on the side. Not to mention it was delicious. Plus what is brunch without a cocktail or two. Full bar inside and not expensive at all. The decor inside was what ibwould call transitional. A bit old looking, with some modern flare, with a breakfast diner finish. Yeah I'm not a designer so I have no clue what to call it. However, it whatever it is called, it worked. My overall experience was top notch. I will definitely eat here again when I am back in the area.

    It reminds me of Paragon restaurant in Indianapolis. Good Menu Choices and good location.

    Cafe Stelios in Merrillville on Broadway was an awesome experience. It feels family owned, and that…read morewarmth really comes through the second you walk in. The atmosphere was comfortable and inviting, and I loved that they took the time to decorate so nicely for the holiday. The inside was done really well and made the whole place feel even more welcoming. The service was undeniably great. The girl handling the coffee told me "my pleasure" when I asked for a half cup on my refill, which stuck with me because it was such a small but genuine touch. Our waitress was also very easygoing and pleasant, and she made the meal that much better. The coffee was spectacular, and the food was outstanding. The waffle was absolutely magical. Everything about this visit made me want to come back, and I already can't wait to try lunch next time. Definitely a spot worth checking out.

    This café isn't terrible, but it's definitely not great either -- and that's why it's getting two…read morestars instead of more. The atmosphere is nice and the place looks like it wants to be a solid neighborhood spot, but the execution just isn't there. The coffee was mediocre at best -- not awful, just bland and forgettable, especially for a café that clearly takes itself seriously. Drinks came out lukewarm and lacked flavor, like they were rushed or poorly measured. Service was polite, but slow and unorganized. Nothing outright rude, just a lack of attentiveness and urgency that makes the whole experience feel sloppy. Prices don't match the quality, which is probably the biggest letdown. I'm giving it two stars instead of one because the space itself is decent and there is potential here. But until the coffee improves and service tightens up, it's not a place I'd go out of my way to return to.

    We had a fairly solid brunch at Main Street cafe! Always love a good breakfast option in the square…read moreand they have a quite large menu to choose from. The interior is tiny but the seating options are more plentiful than it would seem! The interior is lovely and there is a beautiful mural of the lake county fairgrounds that deserves to be admired. My only suggestion would be to perhaps consider changing their television programming. Regardless of political views I can't imagine many customers want to come to brunch and watch Fox News. It makes the brunch experience feel a little too much a truck stop diner vibe. The music was nice so either eliminate the tvs all together or throw on something more pleasant. For food we went with the chicken fried steak sandwich and a Mexican skillet. I appreciate that the avocados were all very fresh! Overall it was very good. The sandwich was huge and so delicious!

    I've been going here for many years. yesterday, 10/27/25 I visited to find their new menu which is…read moreVERY limited. I ordered a gyro and the indifferent waitress (who is always in the place acting agitated) tells me "we're out of gyros". We walked out. I used to see the owners every visit but now it appears the kids have taken over and are determined to ruin the place. We have probably eaten here 50 times or more over the years but yesterday was the last visit with these numbskulls. Right down the street is "Greek Islands"...better food, nicer people. Mainstreet is a trainwreck and the kids don't even realize they've run it off course.
