Great Lakes Cafe is a hidden gem located near the Gary steel mills, offering delicious and fresh food at unbeatable prices. The 70s and fishing themed decor adds to the charm of this family-owned diner. The menu focuses on breakfast and lunch, with standout items like the Trucker's burger and biscuits and gravy. The portions are generous, the service is excellent, and the staff is friendly and attentive. If you find yourself in the area, this quaint and cozy restaurant is definitely worth a visit.
