Johnel's Restaurant 4145 Calumet Avenue, Hammond, IN 46320

"Let me eat huge daily special plates for free as a dishwasher when I was starving homeless in other people's homes unlike the rest of the greedy restaurants. Even offered very discounted monthly hotel across the street. I used to walk miles in the high snow for that check."

"We had an issue with a ham omelet being less than fresh. They immediately fixed the issue and fixed a fresh one. Friendly customer service. I will be back!"

"We’ve tried this place twice while we’ve been in town. The atmosphere is very inviting and the service is friendly enough. The food however is barely ok. I hope they switch some things around because it could be a gold mine. We had breakfast the first time (not good)and lunch the second. They replaced the blt (limp bacon, unripe tomatoes) with a chicken sandwich which was good. The German chocolate cupcake was good too."

"We got off the expressway to find a restroom and to eat lunch. Johnel's was right on the corner as you get off. WOW. What a lucky find this was. When I find a super good deal I just have to order. Ham & Cheese Club, French Fries, Bowl of soup for $9.45! I told the waitress we were splitting it (We're senior eaters). She brought out two half filled bowls of soup, 2 huge dinner rolls and two plates with 1/2 a sandwich and ff on each. Very good and the price was supper inexpensive."

"The service feels homely, lovely time here. The atmosphere gives it an almost as if at a dinner table with loved ones with a host providing some excellent food. Been coming here for a short while now and can give a solid score of 8/10, its perfectly good, trust worthy of the quality of food, and some pretty good heat level wings. Will keep coming here further on and definitely looking forward to another jack n coke."
