And yet I had the best chilaquiles, the best biscuits and gravy and the best breakfast taco of my life here all in the same sitting. Everything I had was an intentional and successful refinement of a North American classic. Best brunch ever. The owner was working. He's charming, interesting and very intentional about his cuisine. It shows in both the product and his discussion of it, which he offers freely. The other staff were also very attentive, wonderfully friendly and extremely helpful. The space is exactly what I'd expect given the food and people in it: charming, eclectic and comfortable. They also have regular live music. I haven't been back for that yet. Given how outstanding everything else I've experienced here was, I'm sure it will be top notch. Absolutely come here. You'll be back, too.

Lovely flooring- and the ladies room had a beautiful fireplace. Really! I'd go back with a "sprint" in a moment. (In regular non-bike vernacular meaning "I'd go back in a heartbeat!")

This tiny, carry out soul food restaurant has gone wildly viral after famed food critic, Keith Lee,…read morevisited. They are only open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 1 - 6:45pm (or until they sell out). There is usually a line waiting when they open. Go hoping for a quick turnaround (maybe 20-30 minutes), but be prepared to wait for at least an hour). Today was my second time visiting. I got there around 4pm and only waited a few minutes to place my order. Please note that they do NOT accept credit cards. It's cash, cashapp or two other electronic transfer methods (sorry I can't remember exactly which ones). The owners are SUPER nice!!! I love them! They have a decent sized menu. The soul bowls are a tremendous value!!! For $14.50, you get your choice of protein--no pork--and three sides (greens, mac and cheese and sweet potato yams). For another $4, you can add on cornbread dressing. Today, I waited just under two hours for my order. You can sit in your car or leave if you need to and they text you when your order is ready. When I went in to get my order they had the sold-out sign up, so I encourage you to try to get there at least a couple hours before closing. Now to the food, it is amazing! The mac and cheese is probably the best restaurant mac and cheese I've ever had. It is cheesy with a nice crust. The sweet potatoes are sweet and delicious. The greens today were a little on the sweet side but it might have been sweet potato juice on it. I don't like sweet greens, but last time I had them they were perfect. My favorite dish is the cornbread dressing. Their food honestly tastes like it was made in my family's kitchen. Today I got the fried wings. Crunchy, juicy not greasy or overly salty. Got their Hennessy sauce on the side and yesssss!!!! The food is excellent! The there are as many cars from Illinois in the parking lot as from Indiana. I met a woman in the parking lot who said she drove 40 minutes to get there, waited two hours for her food and then had to drive home. Yes, the food is delicious! If you have a long drive consider finding a place to park and eat your food while it's hot. I strongly recommend!

The menu covers breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner, with what you want when you want, freshly prepared. I ordered a Mexican omelette with jalapeños on the side, and it was bursting with flavor.

The cottage cheese was cottage cheese.

Today she decided there was no way they would be able to mess up her order so we ordered from here again. And of course it was messed up. She gave up meat for lent and ordered fettuccine Alfredo and they added chicken even tho she specifically said no chicken. Then my omelette the cheese wasn't fully mixed into the eggs so 3/4 of the eggs had no cheese and then I had a clump of cheese at the end. And the worst was the salad it had a hair in it and bad cucumbers. I get it mistakes happen and stuff so we decided to ask for refunds for the salad and Alfredo since those were inedible and they said they can give us new food or store credit. Honestly I don't ever want to eat there again with that poor customer service to not issue a refund when they made the mistakes. That's just bad management.

SCHOOP'S FOR THE WIN!…read more First time in Hammond, IN... WHAT do we eat?!? Schoop's is a local Mom & Pop close to our hotel and The Hammond Sports Complex, that had pretty decent yelp reviews, how about we sample the dinner yummies here??? Yelp directions are on point. Designated parking is available in the lot next to the restaurant which is definitely convenient for the customer! Thank you! Didn't have to wait long to sit down. Interestingly, there are quite a few booths with "decorations" on it, very cool for sure (Who doesn't like the Three Stooges and Lucy & Desi!?!), however they limit access to sitting in those areas, which is unfortunate because the booths have the best lighting compared to center of the room tables. Barbara was our server and loved her spunkiness! Note... you have to designate which free toppings (on bottom right of menu) you want on your burger/sandwich, so be prepared for that question! LOL! I was not ready and that elicited some hilarious banter with Barbara ;) Okay, let's eat!!! BREADED PORK TENDERLOIN: I read somewhere that the Breaded Pork Tenderloin sandwich, aka The Pork Schnitzel, was THE JAM in Indiana. Never heard of it in California so I wanted to see what this was all about! I'm in luck because Schoop's has their own version on the menu! When it landed I was like... Whoa! The tenderloin is bigger than the bun!?!! Nothing small about this thing! Apparently, this Indiana Pork Tenderloin/Pork Schnitzel thang can get even bigger but I was pretty happy with Schoop's option. The breading is Crisp and the tenderloin is not thin like a McD's hamburger, but more like a McD's Quarter Pounder. Meat is juicy and flavorful. Filling for sure. Paired with BOMB tater tots... GREAT INTRO to the Indiana Pork Tenderloin Sandwich!! SWISS MUSHROOM BURGER: Schoop's claim to fame is their Burgers and there are many props to that fame decorating the restaurant, even a "Top 10 in America" (CNN Eatocracy) claim! Now we gatz "expectations" lol Mushrooms are Wifey's Go To, so of course we go for the 'shrooms! Grilled onions to perfection, grilled mushrooms to perfection and a smash burger that had edges crisped just right and a flavorful center. Wifey rarely finishes a burger but this one was GONZO! Luckily she offered me a bite! Solid burger!!! TATER TOTS: PERFECT! Crisp on the outside, yet soft inside. Tastefully flavored. No greasy aftertaste. DEELISH! We doin' the big order next time! VERY EASY RECOMMENDATION! Nom Nom level is high! We would absolutely come back to sample more of the menu! Enjoy! :)
