    The freshest, best Chicago Dog ever.
    David G.

    Awesome food? Check. Great value? Check. Hard working immigrant owners who love America? Priceless. I had never stopped at Simon Sez before. Seems like I was always on the wrong side of 30, going east, and getting there just wasn't worth the trouble. Boy, was I wrong. It's worth it and more. This place is a hidden gem. I knew as soon as I approached the counter that I was talking to the owner. She exuded a pride that only a business owner would have. I told her that I wanted the best meal on the menu, and without hesitation she said, "That's either the Chicago Dog or the gyro." So, me and the party I was with split those menu items down the middle. So luckily, I was able to try both. The Chicago dog was the freshest I've ever had, which consequently makes it the best. Those toppings tasted as if they had been cut and chopped right after I ordered it. The side order of fries was hot and right out of the fryer. The gyro was a beast. Generous portions on the gyro and super tasty. The inside of the place is arguably dated but who cares? I'm here to eat great food, not for ambiance. And you are provided with great food. Add to that an owner who was genuinely interested in whether we liked our meals and you've got an easy five star from me. I don't get to the region that often but when I do I'm definitely going to be saying "Simon" again.

    What a gem this place is. Ordered a gyro platter with fries for $9.42, which is enough for two meals. Meat is thinly sliced and fries are plentiful. Owners are Greek and very courteous. Menu has Greek, American and Mexican items at very good prices. Interior is decorated with pictures of old cars and motorcycles. This is a popular spot with bikers.

    Hamburger, hotdog, 2 fries

    August 2021 - We have wanted to try this place for some time. I had a loaded hamburger and a small fry and my wife had a hotdog and small fry. The food was excellent! The hamburger was well prepared and the fries were hot. The prices are reasonable and the menu is extensive. The interior had a classic car theme. It looked like a retro diner and it was clean. I'm anxious to try several other items on the menu.

    Excellent gyros!

    Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of my food but trust me when I say everything I had was…read moredelicious! I orders the wings (buffalo sauce) they were grilled to perfection! I wanted more LOL. It was Thursday so their special on wings are $5. I also got the cheeseburger egg rolls which were Devine and the sauce that came with it gave it that extra kick. The drinks were good as well. The most popular one was the Merilee. It comes in to flavors strawberry and lime. The service was great and the ambiance of the place was nice for a bachelorette party. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    My husband and I were in Crown Point for our daughter's volleyball. We decided to grab a bite…read moreduring one of her breaks. Bedarra Bar was close, we thought why not. We went around 530, and the place was busy. It got super busy as dinner time rolled around. We sat at the bar and the greeted by the bartender. We ordered two drinks and two entrees to share. I had the Reyka and the Shrimp Étouffée (featured special). My husband ordered the Bedarra Old Fashioned and the Southern Fried Chicken. Our drinks were phenomenal. The presentation of mine was not what I expected. Loved the aesthetics! The Shrimp Étouffée was not one of our favorites. Shrimp was cooked to perfection but the rice and sauce ok, it was bland. The southern fried chicken was really good. It was flavorful and juicy. Definitely coming back when our daughter plays out there again. Nice place to grab a drink and a quick bite.
