Northwest Indiana knows how to do simple food right, especially when it comes to chili dogs, gyros, and big breakfast plates that leave you full for the rest of the day. The spots on this list are the kind of no-fuss counters and family-owned diners where the portions are honest and the prices stay friendly.
Some lean Greek-American, some are all about the classic Chicago-style dog, and a couple have been serving the same loyal crowd for years. If you love old-school cooking without a lot of fancy packaging, these eight places belong on your radar.
Grab a napkin or two and get ready to plan a few tasty drives around the region.
