    a sandwich and french fries
    Charles P.

    Way way overdue review that I should have gotten to a while back. Was in Valpo watching my boss's dogs. I stopped in for a bite and decided to to go with the best damn ham sandwich as I recalled. It was quite amazing and deserves the name. This spot has a real local feeling which I truly enjoyed. Highly recommend...

    Walleye YUM

    Checking out Sementos.. wow what a interesting story about its origin and 4 generations of family ownership. Wonderful old school bar/restaurant. Love the wood roof and the outdoor area is beyond description. Its like an adult outdoor playground. Looks like bags and bacci ball and other games. Waiting to try the walleye and shrimp dish. Update. Big complaint..... the walleye was so good that I wanted moooorrrrre. The shrimp although huge was also sooooooo yummy we wanted more. Seriously they were good portions we were just hungry as hell and it was soooo good. As to comments, no food outside, too many messes and its too full inside. Smoke? Meh, it was not overwhelming and they do have a smoke free dinning room sealed off from the main room. And if your too sensitive for that ...... well your a wimp and should order carry out or stick some cotton up your nose. Now back to hunger, we decided since they do not carry desserts to order a italian beef and split it. Yes we were pigs but hot damn was it good. Served like we like it with red sauce and hot peppers.

    Nice place to go on the weekends. Good food and the drinks aren't to expensive. It gets really smoky inside or I would give 5 stars.

    The prime rib was good, but over did the salt on the baked potato. There is seating for smokers and non-smokers.

It had a lot of ingredients. Roasted asparagus, broccolini, shaved Brussels sprouts, mushrooms. It was delicious, but I would have preferred a lighter summer salad. It was hearty & warm. I'd get it again in the fall. We shared the caramelized onion tortellini. It was huge too. Amazing prices for the amount of food. It was so delicious. The onions were sweet & the pasta was perfect & fresh. Lots of leftovers to take home. Cute ambiance, friendly service. Loved that we could watch the chefs prepare the food too. Can't wait to come back for more pasta & try dessert.

I love a great wood fire pizza and this place is excellent. Small with a few tables, but filled with so many choices for both pizza, other items, and drinks. Love that they have a great spot to sell out of a window to those visiting the park area for events (SMART). The choices for pizzas had me wanting all of them, but I finally settled on the Sticky Finger and the Joker. I was so impressed with the Sticky Finger that I still think about those flavors all together. It was a perfect fit for my palate and I loved it. The Joker was also great and the hubby loved it. We had a peach old fashioned to share (needed that before busting our butts on the ice rink, liquid courage) and the staff was excellent with keeping our waters filled and making sure we were well taken care of. PROS: Great spot downtown, next to event center areas Wonderful choices to fit all tastebuds in pizza choices Cocktail choices that are fun CONS: Parking, at the center near the ice rink (you can walk there though)

He got the potato Pizza & enjoyed it. Only downside is that it is on super thin crust. Not really a save for later thing since it makes it more soggy unless heated in an air fryer. The service is good too. They answer questions and are nice. Might just have a longer wait if its a busy time of day or weekend since theyre downtown.

It's a corner lot and has its own parking lot. I was really surprised that we went on a random Friday night and were able to get in. It's not very large, but it seemed like they got people in and out pretty quick. I was told the garlic knots were amazing and the Alfredo sauce to die for. My friend was not wrong. I'd say the show stealer were the garlic knots. you had to pay extra for the Alfredo sauce but it was worth it. It was so good, I could've drank it. The knots were tender and covered in butter, cheese and garlic. Yum. The pizza crust was good, but I don't think the meatball topping was the best choice for me. We also got a side of onion rings because they were beer battered and I always have to try beer battered onion rings. It's very hard to find good ones and these definitely rank in the top 3 or 4 for me. I was disappointed that they didn't come with any sauce but there was a decent amount of them and they were super crispy. Very basic restaurant in a college area and with a visit for sure. If we go back I'll try one of their entrees.
