Located in northwest Indiana, Schererville has long had the nickname "crossroads of the nation." The town has been a common junction point for both Indian trails and, more recently, the highways and interstates of the modern world. This crossroads aspect leads many travelers through the town, and if any such travelers are looking for a good steakhouse, they won't be disappointed.
The Kelsey's franchise started in nearby Portage before expanding locations into Valparaiso and Schererville in the coming years. The dining room features a clear view of the cooks in action, with the flames tall and hot from the grills, always burning to bring fresh steaks to the table. Unusual for a steakhouse, Kelsey's features a drive-through, where patrons can pick up orders they called in earlier. Kelsey's offers the "6 Pound Challenge," a chance to eat a 96-oz. steak, salad, potato and bread. If the challenger eats it all, the meal is on the house.
