This used to be the place of choice for the family. Never again. Our experience started off positively enough - even on a Monday for brunch the place was moderately busy, but the staff seated our party of 5 promptly. That's where the good experiences ended. A party shortly after us came in and was seated with quite a bit of affection from the manager. They got serviced, ordered, and got brought drinks long before we saw our server again. Annoying, but I somewhat expect favoritism in a "family" restaurant business. No, where the real problem came from was the food itself. My wife had ordered a Western Omelette (Ham, Cheese, Green Peppers, Onion) which was by far the biggest offender. The cheese was undetectable on over half of the omelette, but the rest of the ingredients were at least present. Unfortunately, though, the egg was... how to put it... wet? Underdone, to say the least. My wife afterwards was sick off of that egg for the rest of the day. My egg and meal wasn't much better - I had ordered the Country Fried Chicken and Eggs. Thankfully, that's what they charged me for, but they brought me a Country Fried Steak. Not normally that much of a problem - I like Country Fried Steak, but this one had soggy breading and wasn't terribly satisfying. The sad part is, the Steak was better than the egg that I got, too - I ordered the egg over-hard, in part due to the reason above my wife suffered from, but what I got might have been a -passable- over-medium; it had a bit of run to it. My brother's banana nutella crepes were far more acceptable than much of the rest, as was my sister's corned beef hash, but both were far darker than they should have been (to the point of crispiness on the crepes). The pancakes my daughter received also were pretty dark overall. Normally, I excuse quite a lot of gripes - obviously I can gripe about a lot and pick out flaws from food pretty easily, but I don't bring restaurants down via reviews over them since it's easy to get a completely different experience than others will. But underdone eggs are unacceptable for ANY restaurant to serve to a guest. In short, check your eggs - make sure they are done before you eat them, It's something you shouldn't have to do, but it's better than getting sick over it. read more

Absolutely unacceptable customer service experience. I ordered food here for my family of 5. Upon asking if everything was included, the employee Andrew told me it was, and so I went on my way. When I got home, I realized I was missing three entire items from my order, and called to see what could be done. After being put on hold three times, Andrew finally came on and offered me a $5 credit for the trouble, but with a terrible attitude. When my daughter came on and asked that we get comped for the meal, he was incredibly rude with her and told her they would not do a refund, and that she could not speak to the store manager nor know his name. I then got a bit heated and got back on the phone and demanded some respect, before being called an a-hole by Andrew and getting hung up on. We've contacted the BBB and store owner of another location about this. We have yet to receive a resolution, so until we do, it can be assumed that Round the Clock stands behind this terrible behavior, disrespect, and lack of Customer Service. read more

Love hanging out, love the food, love the service. The very heavy set Andrew is the best. He does magic for the customers and is super cool. Plus you have good prices. Highly recommend to anyone who isn't an asshole! read more

I love love LOVE this place. Almost all of the items I have tried have been amazing.. if your starved and love burgers I suggest the clock tower burger you will not be let down read more

Stopped here for dinner since I'm staying across the street. It's great since it's open 24/7 and the atmosphere is warm and friendly. I got the Tuesday special an it was a pork chop. Usually chops are tough to cut but this one was so tender I could cut it with my fork. It had a brown sauce with mushrooms. Very tasty! It comes with 2 sides, so I got a baked potato and fruit. Good but not awesome. It also comes with dessert so I picked cheesecake. A great deal for $10! Hope to come back soon. Sara was an excellent server, too. read more

Long review, short version; Night managers terrible but it's the only 24 hour food spot in town so it'll have to do. Recommend the burgers or any breakfast really. There is a love hate relationship with this restaurant. This is the ONLY true 24 hour restaurant near its location. I'm a night owl because of my work shift so for me this place is almost dinner every other night because I'm just not up most of the time to eat at any other restaurant. Now that it's said. I've been here in the afternoon. The service is nice and attentive. It's like any restaurant should be. It's nothing crazy. The night shift is a little different. Now trust me. I have gone here at night exclusively the past 2 years. The manager Margot is bipolar. Which totally can kill the experience if she is the Host when you walk in. Side note. She's a very nice lady when she's nice. However, me being a 21 year old male who only ever eats at 3am I guess doesn't rub her the right way? Sometimes I walk in and she'll give attitude instantly. Hard to explain but I always am curtesy because it's 1am-5am and I don't want to give the manager a bad impression. (I always eat with my girlfriend and we tip 20% because we feel like we get judged by the older staff that "we look like teenagers so we won't tip.") The staff at night is great. My favorite server is a guy named Bobbie. He knows his stuff and what his customers like and want. Food is cooked fast and taste good since there are only a few tables there at 1am-5am. But hey there's Margot to come and ruin the nice dinning experience. My girlfriend and I will be eating and it's always something. We will hear Margot talking s*** about her workers. About other guests. Complaining my whole damn meal in the middle of the restaurant for everyone to hear. This is every. Single. Night. I go there. Like I said. When she's nice, she's great. Nice lady. But she isn't nice most of the time. I witnessed her calling one of their (I think she quit) Spanish looking busier ladies an idiot after she tried to leave without doing something. Okay. She forgot to do something. But calling her an idiot and talking s*** mumbling words RIGHT NEXT TO MY TABLE?! What?! I apologize if this review is personal to any. It's the truth though. Sadly. I've never thought to myself one time "I'm craving *insert food here* from Round The Clock!" Nah. It's always "Well, our choices are Round The Clock or White Castle. And they both serve burgers" The food is totally replaceable. If any other restaurant were to open up that isn't White Castle or McDonalds; Round The Clock would get hit hard Don't get me wrong. They are bustling in the day. But they also have a night scene too. If you're the only 24 hour spot in town that'll happen. No really. If you have an idea for a 24 hour restaurant. Build it near here. You will make a killing all hours of the night. Round the clock is a regular 3 Star food place that I give 2 stars too because of management. But they are highly replaceable. read more

Our waitress Kim was friendly and efficient. The buffalo chicken salad was huge! The complimentary rolls delicious. I had a patty melt that first came out very undercooked. This was politely taken care of by Kim and was good once it came back out. We both got pie for dessert too. A great value for the money. Interior is dated but clean. read more

The worst ever breakfast first! We ordered steak and egg with hash browns, grilled chess panini with tomato and spinach, lemon rice soup! Steak was so salty, the panini was bland and the soup tasted like it's from a can! So disappointed, will not go back again!!! read more

I love their lemon rice soup and rolls! And I think the best part is they're open 24 hours. We can go to a concert or have a late night out and know that round the clock is open and even if it's 3am they still have on their happy faces. I really enjoy their Reuben and wraps! read more

Nothing but steers and queers after midnight. Service was definitely sub par. Now Im told thats only good if youre the golfing type. I do have one thing in common with Tigers Wife, I love beating things with my club. Seriously, though, how you gonna mess up a pancake? P.s. ceiling will leak on you in slight drizzle, thats no bull. And I know a thing or two about bulls, as well as slight drizzles, you smell what I'm cooking? read more

We arrived with three younger children at 10 PM last night. We were greeted by a friendly host who immediately sat us. Our waiter arrived shortly thereafter and helped us with menu selections. We got more than enough food to eat, and everything was hot and fresh. The kids especially liked the French toast. For OUR taste the bacon was a little soft, the taco salad was a little too spicy, the hashbrowns were a little too bland, and refills a little too slow for us to give it five stars, but all in all it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend this restaurant to others. read more

Our server was absolutely wonderful! It's in a prime location with many reasonably priced items so they are positioned for success. However, my family and I will never visit this restaurant again. The food was completely cold upon arriving to our table and the bacon was soggy. Also, the atmosphere upon entering is one that for a Sunday morning, was cold and uninviting. Had we not had another appointment, we would have left immediately. There was also a male at the entrance, whom I assumed was the head hostess, was unlike any hostess I've encountered before. "Offensive in plain sight" is the only phrase that comes to mind. Not at all the experience we were expecting. read more

Around The Clock is one of those restaurants that is comfy and cozy. Food is awesome coffee is wonderful and wait staff is amazing. You will never leave this place hungry. My favorite is the pancakes and the malted waffle. My boyfriend's favorite is the cheeseburger, the french toast and also the pancakes. The hostess knows us by name and always sits us in our favorite spot. The best thing about this restaurant is it's open 24 hours a day so you could come morning noon and night and enjoy delicious food anytime. read more

This place serves insult on a plate. This is a picture of my re-cooked eggs. This is the second time I am coming to have breakfast in this place and everytime is ridicoulously terrible. read more

This is a convenient little diner that has everything you could want on the menu and they give you a lot of food! Last week, on the way to visit friends in the area, I stopped for some food to go. I ordered a Greek salad and was told that the $8.95 price comes with soup, rolls and dessert! I didn't get any soup (too messy) but they gave me 5-6 rolls with butter in its own bag and a huge cup of rice pudding. Yum! I wish they used real whipped cream and more natural ingredients, but this is such a good value for the money. I love Greek-owned places because they really do care about customer service. I'll definitely be back! read more

the worst place i been too i tried to gove them a chance multiple times and tthis was the last they gave me raw uncooked food that didnt even touch the grill and then the manager shes just as dumb as the rest of them when i made my complaint she said thats not her problem and contact grubhub literally a trash restaurants mcdonald's is a better choice then garbage establishment read more

I can't help it, I still love this place and I have to come back every time I'm in the area. I would do an embarrassing number of things just to get some lemon rice soup like theirs around here. I love a lot of their food. My faves are their cherry crepes, burgers, and fries. I think you get a lot for your money here and it's a nice place to chill and see some old friendly faces. read more

Aside from when there was this waiter working there that looked like Dick Van Dyke, I've never cared for this particular Round the Clock much. The Highland restaurant is far superior. I mean this place isn't bad, but it's just not that great either. If you aren't preppy, you might feel out of place here. They always seem in a hurry to rush you out the door, so I've never felt comfortable drinking coffee there. read more

Worst dining experience we've ever had. Very poor service. Our waitress got some rude manners. Our orders were served after about 45 minutes and none were done correctly. Eggs weren't cooked as we wanted, burnt crepes, burnt pancakes and burnt toasts! We asked for them to add strawberries on our banana Nutella crepe but was served with strawberries only. We asked our server if there were bananas in it and when she returned it to the kitchen, the cook just said that they don't have bananas anymore. So why would you still serve it? Not sure if they were just thinking that we won't notice it. Staff were yelling at each other and didn't really seem to have sense of order. My sister talked to the manager (or someone who seem to be the manager) and mentioned that we really didn't have a pleasant experience. All he said was "thank you" with a blank expression. My sister told us about his reaction when we already left. If I knew earlier, I would have talked to him again and say we don't want to pay for anything since it is a waste of money to pay for burnt food and poorly cooked meals. I am really very surprised that there is an establishment like this... read more

The service is not bad and the food is not that bad, either. However, for the price there are far better values in the area. It's WAAAY over-priced, but at 2 am, I know how people do not want to venture too far. If you do want to drive a little bit for a better value, go North on US 41 to Top Notch or Purple Steer. Paragon, which is west on 30 is also open, but it is not the best place around either. For breakfast, I like to try new places, so I stopped by the Omelette House which is directly south on US41 and Rt 30. It's a great value, with great food. I do like Round the Clock, I just feel like it is over-priced. read more

Round the Clock is an interesting restaurant. It is as beautiful a restaurant as you could hope to see by way of a 24 hour diner, and unlike others I had a very polite waitstaff. Alas, the reason people go to restaurants is primarily for food, and this is where RtC disappoints. I ordered the All Meat Skillet, being a person of a carnivorous bent. The menu describes this meal as "Bacon, Sausage, and Ham with vegetables, melted American cheese and potatoes" What I got was certainly as described, but in the most horrible way. The vegetables were heavily green pepper, which immediately took over the flavor of the skillet in an unexpected and therefore unappealing way. The cheese was just two slices of Kraft type cheese singles, a couple squares which did not melt into my skillet at all leaving my skillet without the delicious cheesy binding agent I have come to love in a meaty skillet. Slathering it in hot sauce rendered it edible, but the texture was lacking. The price was therefore far more than I would have paid for this breakfast had I known it would be prepared in such a way. If you are desiring a delicious breakfast treat, I recommend almost any local drive through window over this restaurant. The food will taste better and your pocket won't be left as light. This just goes to show that just as you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, a great looking restaurant doesn't mean well prepared food. read more

i had such a taste for breakfast, so i decided to come here. worst breakfast ever! i had the $ 4.00 bf special omelet w hash brown.disgusting i sent the hash browns back cause they were burnt& brought them back & were still burnt& hard. my omelette was runny chz wasn't even melted. the only thing that was decent was the coffee. when i went to pay the woman didn't ask how things were let alone didn't even say thank you or hve a nice dat. she was to busy talking with employees. this isn't the first time this has happened but i figured i'll try them again. i'll never go back. just plain disgusting good & staff read more

recently remodeled, Round the Clock on Route 30 in Schererville offers your typical diner experience in a country-themed environment. the exposed wooden pillars and knick knacks that adorn the walls reflect the "new" abiance. despite the new look the food is what you'd expect from a typical diner: greasy and good. being open 24 hours fills this place with the older crowd in mornings and the teeniebopper crowd late in the evenings (you've been warned). service is typically decent; i have but a handful of complaints after going there for years. during lunchtime, the level of service seems to vary. otherwise, Round the Clock is a local institution that has stood the test of time and looks to be around for some time to come. read more

Food was very good. Large portions. Excellent service. Inexpensive. Nice atmosphere.

We eat there often and can honestly say that we have had very few complaints about the food or the service. The few that we have had in the last several years were understandable due to the crowd that was there. Our experience has almost always been a good meal for a reasonable price. We will continue to stop there when we are in that area. read more

The worst service in ages, the server Sandy was terrible, brought drinks late, and wrong. The skillet was not cooked and only warm, cheese not even melted. Complained to manager, he took all food away without even asking if I would like just the sides. Then proceeded to charge for drinks that were incorrect. The experience was not good at all read more

The waitress was really unfriendly had a comment on everything thought that it was weird and asked us if we were only getting lemon rice soup and I said yes and she was like oh wow so you're not getting anything else and I was like why do you care she was she was very on educated and disrespectful there was food that couldn't be made because they were out of it what kind of restaurant doesn't have food The lemon rice soup had almost no rice and and the Ice-T didn't even taste like ice tea it tasted like water with powder in it The place was really dirty and had a lot of crumbs on everything and when I accidentally spilled my drink the lady took really poor control of it and took her like 15 minutes to clean up a table 1 table and she didn't clean it up she just left it there and waited for the manager to clean it out I watch I meant was rude it was a read more

I took my family there yesterday and the food was horrible! I had to send my French toast back 2xs and both times it came back uncooked. The lemon rice soup had no rice. The bacon was like rubber. The waitress barely came over and never gave refills. At the register I talked to the "manager" I told her all the issues and the I even said something to the waitress. She was only willing to give 2.99 off well the meal that was not eaten was 8.99 so if the meal was returned shouldn't the whole price be taken off? She said no and then said well try and have a nice day. Like really we never come here cause it's horrible but tried it again to see if anything changed in a year. Nope still sucks. The one in Lansing is way better by far!! read more

Came in, bought a patty melt with fries. Not very good. Fries were burnt, sandwich dull tasting. Soup old and bland. See photo. read more

WORSE BREAKFAST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!! The quality of the food was horrible and how the 2 manager handled the complain truly showed this place is all about profits and not customer satisfaction. First and last time! read more

Amazing little place. Great service, really cool options, at a pretty decent price. I really like it. Food was pretty good. Had the chicken panini read more

Another bad experience in Indiana. Passed the location on Torrence Ave in Illinois because I was doing a little shopping in the area. I've never dined at this establishment before but this was a BAD DECISION. I dined here recently on a Sunday morning. The facility is made to appear rustic however upon entering it is noticeably not very clean. Immediately I noticed two waitresses squabbling about something :(. Um ok! The wait time was short and so was the arrival of the breakfast. Dishes were hot but the food tasted horrible. The skillet dish contained strangely chopped and brunt hash browns and the pancakes were flat. I had to request another glass of water because I noticed food particles on the side glass. Can't go back here but maybe I'll consider trying a different location in Illinois. read more

Unique, tasty, and fantastic. Great service and value in the tab. I'll be back often for breakfast and lunch (as well as the comp. pie). Esy to recommend. read more

I give good and bad reviews and this time it is a VERY GOOD review. Last time we had a VERY BAD experience with Jean waiting on us or NOT for the most part. This time we had waitress Daina and she was attentive,quick, friendly and very busy. She made us feel like family and that is what dining out is all about. When we visit RTC (several times a week) we ask NOT to be seated in Jean's station as she was rude, slow, unfriendly and made several mistakes. So when you go to RTC if you want a great experience ask for Diana! read more

I have dined in a couple of times for just soup. Every time I've noticed that the soup is tasteless and over cooked. I send it back n end up getting something different than soup. Something so simple to cook like soup, shouldn't be so bland n over cooked. read more

Loaded waffles fries...6.5/10. Not bad. Servers name was tony, nice kid. Good coffee. Good place to shoot the shit. Would recommend even tho it's overpriced. read more

Service was good, the food was not. Both my father and I had to send our eggs back. Mine was sent back 3 times for being burnt on the outside and too runny on the inside. My dads omelette was sent back for being too runny AND it was supposed to be American cheese but the cook used cheddar. On top of that, my bacon looked like it was cooked the day before. The only thing they've got going for them is the toast, that was good. read more

The food is alright, but you get a lot. Got the turkey, bacon and swiss sandwich. Came with soup, a side, and dessert. Service is usually decent. One thing I absolutely hate... It's best described with this quote: "The non-smoking section of a restaurant is like the no-peeing section of a pool." You walk in and get hit with a cloud of smoke and you come out smelling like it unless ure in the far back corner. read more
