The Midwest is absolutely no stranger to comfort food. Truly, it doesn’t matter which town or city up here you’re in – if you want it, you’ll be able to find some of the best comfort dishes you’ve ever eaten, and it’s not even difficult. What IS difficult is finding places that stand out above the rest; these places are the ones worth seeking out intentionally. Take, for instance, Peggy Sue’s Diner in the town of Chesterton, Indiana. Anyone on the hunt for the best biscuits and gravy in Indiana – if not the entire Midwest – ought to make this their first (and last) stop.

Nestled on Calumet Road near Thomas Centennial Park is Peggy Sue's Diner, and as soon as you walk in, you'll go back in time.

It might just be the closest thing to time travel we've got, at least in the restaurant industry. And that's only part of its charm.
With peachy pink walls and nostalgia galore, Peggy Sue's feels more like your nana's place than a diner.

This lends itself to an atmosphere like none other here, only made better by the friendly faces and wonderful service you're sure to receive.
Everything on the menu is to die for, but there's one item in particular that keeps people coming back time and time again for more.

The biscuits and gravy, y'all: I cannot overstate the deliciousness these made-in-house comfort food powerhouses possess. They're outrageously good, and all you need to do is read the reviews and see.

From awesome breakfasts to classic comfort foods and some of the best pies ever for dessert, it's impossible to misstep while you're here (unless you don't order anything, which should be a crime).
And if biscuits and gravy aren't your thing, don't worry.
