Hammond Halal Travel Guide

It may come as a surprise to other Hoosiers that Hammond is the state's sixth largest city. Its history and culture, as with nearly all of Indiana's Lake Michigan coast, is inextricably linked to a big blue-collar industrial workforce. While the industrial economy is not what it once was, Hammond is still in decent shape, with a big new casino drawing in visitors from the Chicagoland area. Most visitors will find themselves passing through or on business, but Chicagoans would do well to include it in a close-in Lake County day trip, if for no other reason than to get some good food, perhaps stock up on fireworks, and realize that Chicagoland doesn't stop at the state line!

Travel to Hammond

By car

The big highways cutting east west across the city are I-90 and I-94/I-80, both of which head east towards Gary and I-65 towards Indianapolis, and west towards Chicago and its south suburbs. The biggest north south streets are Calumet Ave (US-41) and Indianapolis Blvd (IN-152). Both lead into the city coming from Chicago in the north, and are a far more interesting drive than the big highways.

Halal Food & Restaurants

The restaurant is a pleasant, two-block walk from the Hammond South Shore Line train station, for those who want to take a day trip from downtown Chicago.

• Madvek's Dog House | 6923 Calumet Ave ☎ +1 219 932-1060 - Best known for serving great Hot Dogs, 50-year-old Madvek's also makes a hard-to-find "loose Meat hamburger," where the hamburger Meat is sauteed with onions and butter, and served loose in the bun, somewhat like a sloppy joe. It's an unassuming-looking place, but you'll be glad you stepped inside.

• Nick and George's Restaurant | 5850 Hohman Avenue ☎ +1 219-931-6760 Opening Hours: 7am-9pm This legendary Hammond institution once existed downtown, just across State Line Road from Calumet City's famous nightclub strip. Now it is just south of the historic downtown across from beautiful Harrison Park. They do sell bottled soft drinks. They have the best $25 Steaks dinner you could ever hope for. The Beef tenderloin is half the price and maybe more delicious. The hamburgers and Italian Sausages sandwiches are great too, and their fries are famous. On a nice day, walk across the street and eat in the park.

• Schoop's Hamburgers - 7235 Indianapolis Blvd ☎ +1 219 845-7090 Opening from Monday to Saturday 10:30AM Monday - 9PM, Sunday 11AM Monday - 9PM $3-8 A Northwestern Indiana chainlet, Schoops has pretty great handmade Burgers in another rare style you probably haven't seen before. The patty is thin, crisp, crunchy—almost sort of caramelized!

• Taco Real | 935 E Hoffman Street ☎ +1 219 932-8333 - Probably the restaurant to go to for Mexican in the region, this place has great Chicken in mole, Beef tacos, and queso fundido. It is a little on the pricey side, though—for Mexican in Northwest Indiana! Very surprisingly and they have good micro-brews on tap at the full café.

• Dodo's Firehouse Tap | 521 Conkey Street ☎ +1 219 933-6646 Opening Hours: 7am-3am Dodo's is a fine place to drink alcohol. Old Style is on tap, and a small pitcher is $3.50. There is a jukebox, and you will hear many different tastes of music. There is a swimming swimmingpool table and dart boards, and also refrigerated cases for take-away alcohol sales. The decor is the best Elvis memorabilia you can hope to see.

• Billy Bear's Grill | 1225 169th Street ☎ +1 219 844-1441 Opening Hours: Noon-2am Billy Bear's is also a good place to drink draft soft drinks. They have Old Style and MGD, and a small pitcher is only about $3.00. There is also a swimming swimmingpool table, and dart board, and jukebox that plays mostly Classic Rock. Decor is Harley motorcycles and bikers. Sometimes they close early so be sure to call ahead.

• Flat Rock Tap | 6732 Calumet Avenue Opening Hours: 11am-1am The Flat Rock Tap has a wider variety of soft drinks on tap, although they charge much more per glass.
