Nothing tastes homemade or fresh. It’s all got a «mock» authenticity to it. My little guys did get a kick out of all the muscle car models on display inside, but they weren’t even interested in their grey colored hotdog. There are places out there to get a good gyro, but this ain’t it.’

Simon Sez go get a huge gyro and huge bag of fries. I love this place. Is it healthy, of course not. But it is darn delicious. Their regular order of fries is enough for 3 people.

Good hamburger, gyros, and hot dog establishment. The rib tips are surprisingly good. The fries can feed a family of four. The mushrooms are scrumptious. Try the chicken on a pita if you desire a lighter option. This is our go to place when we’ve had enough big franchise fast food.

The best place in Merrillville to get the grease changed in your coronary arteries. Fries are overabundant and usually cooked well. Dogs are great. Just about anything you get here is good. After the ownership changed hands I was a little worried as to what would happen to the place. The classic car theme is great, car shows bring back the burger joint to Merrillville. Before the smoking law change I hated that the owner would sit at one of the tables and pollute the eating area. We stopped eating in, but got to the point that we quit going for a while. Bottom line, great place, if you want to meet the owner that’s him slouched over in the booth watching everyone else work.

I have been coming here for years but a recent discovery now has me mildly in love. For some reason I have longed for the soy burgers of my school cafeteria days and — I have found them… at Simon Sez. Yes, this sounds crazy even saying it but I love it. To add to my joy, their ketchup seems to be also a score from the cafeteria gods(this is no Heinz). My brother raves about their taco tuesday. And to make matters worse their fries are served in a bag large enough to feed about 10 people, which I end up eating the entire bag.

What a great place. Wish I lived closer. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is really personal and engaging, the food is delicious(lightest most delicious pitas anywhere) and the owner is a nice person. If you’ve ever loved anything about cars, you have to visit and I’m not telling you more because I don’t want to spoil the surprise. But if you can get there on a Friday or Saturday night in warm weather there is yet ANOTHER surprise(okay, that one is not hard to guess). If you are headed east on Route 30 it’s an easy in, if you are traveling west on Route 30 it’s not as easy but it’s worth it. Turn around! Go back.

If you want local grease, this place is it! Hot dogs are awesome, and their vast array of other food like gyros, steak sandwiches and burgers are good as well. Can’t go wrong with cheap grease!

It’s cheap, it’s fast, it’s tasty… what else could you possible want from a hot dog shop? This place is not like gourmet-type food, obviously, but the service is always quick, and you never leave feeling hungry. Plus every once in awhile they have car shows that are pretty impressive.

A good place to get a burger. They are not healthy but that is okay sometimes. I loved it when I was working because I can get a good lunch for a good price. My husband and I go here after shopping at the mall.
