Keith's

We heard about Keith's years ago but visited for the first time earlier this month. I wish we had gone sooner. The food was delicious and the drinks were equally as good. The service was warm and friendly, but operated like a well oiled machine. My family and I were already planning our next visit before we finished dessert. So happy to have found this local gem.

This has to be the best restaurant in East Chicago. From the outside of the building I never would have suspected. It looks like a small unassuming building, but then you walk in and it feels a lot bigger on the inside and it's fancy and warm and nice. Everything we ordered had so much flavor and the portions were enormous! The table bread came with roasted garlic, a very nice touch. The saganaki tasted like it had additional sweetener beyond just the brandy and it didn't arrive flaming, but it was delicious. The asparagus was very tasty. I had a mushroom penne special that was rich and creamy. My friend ordered the pork chops and I have to say that was the biggest, juiciest pair of pork chops I have ever seen. They were so thick, at least 2.5 inches. They were twice as thick as the thickest pork chops I have ever had previously, and cooked to perfection. There was no printed drinks list and the waitress claimed to know what beers they had but kept not knowing about beers I had seen when I walked past the cooler by the bar, so I ended up having to walk by the bar to browse the selection each time I wanted another beer, but that just gave me a chance to enjoy the restaurants decor. She said they didn't need a printed list cuz they had an open bar and could make any cocktail but then had never heard of a Manhattan or a Sazerac. Either way, definitely the best restaurant I've discovered so far in the area and I will be returning often. Thank you for giving me such a great meal
