Veterans' Cafe and Grill

When you pull up with no one in the parking lot you thinking this can't good. You just had a wonderful weekend with good food and your on the way home. You think here's the shoe that drops...... nope Thanksgiving in February at your favorite aunties house. I had greens black eyed peas with rice, sweet potatoes, dressing, fried chicken and oven baked ribs that was made to perfection. I almost didn't eat there, it was very clean and from the moment we got there we were made to feel like we arrived at home and mom had cooked. Peach cobbler is a must for dessert. I salute my fellow veteran for making a restaurant with recreating what most military crave a home cooked meal.

This is a WONDERFUL BLACK OWNED RESTAURANT THAT MANY DON'T KNOW ABOUT🥰Ms.Bessie is a VETERAN, her staff is so friendly helpful and they enjoy us being there. Customer service is a 10 plus🥰 Soul food , my favorite is the fried chicken wings, yams and Mac and cheese. 😊. If you are in the Gary indiana area, PLEASE STOP BY, THEY EVEN HAVE PEACH COBBLER, CAKES AND YOU CAN GET IT TO GO AS WELL. 😊🥰.

We attended an event with Governor Candidate, Curtis Hill this past Sunday. The service at this restaurant was great! The food was excellent! I do suggest that you try the fried cabbage stir fry and the smothered pork chops! The added bonus along with the delicious food, is that they help support our veterans!

I came up on this place by invitation of Governor Candidate Curtis Hill and it was a great surprise!

Tried it for the first time today, the food was delicious! It was good Southern home cooking at it's finest. We'll definitely be back to try more of their options.

My wife and I Fell totally in Love with this cafe, we were introduced to its food at a wedding in Indiana; granted we live Chicago. So we went back to the restaurant based on the seasons of the food. I tell you one thing, the food is off the chain and the service is pleasant and professional. Just like the old dirty south!!!!

Very good food. Very friendly service. I will definately come back next time I am in town.

Open Sundays. Down home cooking. Enjoy!
