Just west of the intersection of routes 30 and 41 sites Round the Clock diner. A staple in NW Indiana for decades it seemed just the place to stop for a nibble before catching a Friday night movie. Unbeknownst to me, we arrived just in time for the senior special. Fortunately, I have not yet qualified for that dubious honor, but be forewarned that close in parking with your special blue permit is at a premium!
Since we were in the mood for just a sandwich, the turkey, Swiss and bacon combos seemed just right. A club for my date and a panini for me. Surprisingly, fresh baked rolls arrived with the menu and we also had a choice of soup or salad. Since it was a cold evening, soups were ordered. One cream of potato and one tomato basil. Nice and hot with plenty of crackers, and thankfully not overly salty. Sandwiches were delivered timely with a side of seasoned french fries. Generous but not ridiculous portions were the order of the day, followed unexpectedly by a choice of dessert. A slim slice of creamy cheese cake topped everything off and we were out the door with time to spare to catch the movie. And all for about $20. That's tough to beat!! For a diner outside of NJ, call it 4/5.
