Part of the Schererville restaurants series on the town shelf. Chapter 1 dinner list stays live: Restaurants near me in Schererville. Last Sunday food column: Saturday breakfast in Crown Point. Older chapters stay linked. Nothing gets deleted.
Chapter 1 named five dinner doors and said most of them close Monday. That is still true. This is Schererville restaurants Chapter 2. The question after a Monday showing on US-30 or US-41 is where we eat lunch. Not breakfast on a Crown Point Square, and not a clone of last week’s Saturday eggs.

Five rooms. New doors. Not a ranking. Hours change. Call the restaurant before you treat this as today’s plan.
What Monday lunch means on 30 and 41
Schererville still organizes around US-30 and US-41. Town Hall sits at 10 East Joliet Street. There is no courthouse square to stroll after we lock the door. A house on an interior street and a house near 41 are both Schererville. They are not the same lunch loop. Buy the route you would actually drive at 12:10 p.m. Do not buy a map pin.
We checked official sites and current listings in September 2026. We kept only doors we could confirm. We will not invent a sixth name. Teibel’s, Giuseppe’s, Nisi, Lincoln & Wicker, and Pepino’s stay on Chapter 1. This chapter is the Monday-open lunch set.
Cooper’s Hawk Winery & Restaurant, 635 Main Street
Cooper’s Hawk is the sit-down wine room at Shops on Main when the showing calendar lands on Monday and you want a reserved table. Official address: 635 Main St, Schererville, IN 46375. Phone listed: (219) 951-4000. Published hours: Monday through Thursday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., Sunday 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Lunch-sized entrées run daily until 3:30 p.m. Wine O’Clock happy hour is Monday through Friday 3 to 5:30 p.m. Reservations are highly recommended.
Honest catch. It is a regional wine restaurant, not a Schererville-only room. Chapter 1 named it as a reservation option and left it out of the local five. We put it here because Monday lunch is the real use. Do not treat the tasting room as a fast sandwich stop between lockboxes.
Mi Sueño, 7840 Wicker Avenue
Mi Sueño is the elevated Mexican kitchen and bar on Wicker when you want lunch that can stretch into an early dinner. Official address: 7840 Wicker Ave, Schererville, IN 46375. Phone listed: (219) 627-3971. Published hours: Monday through Friday 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m., Sunday 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Ceviche, wood-fire pizza, craft cocktails.
Honest catch. It is not a $12 lunch. Parking is a private lot on Wicker, which helps. Call ahead on busy evenings. If you needed a quick Italian beef before the next appointment, Portillo’s is the faster door.
Tandoor Cuisine of India, 1535 US Highway 41
Tandoor Cuisine of India is the lunch-buffet room on US-41 when the showing loop already pointed that way. Official address: 1535 US Hwy 41, Schererville, IN 46375. Phone listed: (219) 865-9511. Published hours: Monday through Sunday lunch 11:00 a.m. to 2:45 p.m., dinner 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., kitchen closed 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. Lunch buffet every day. Monday night also carries a dinner buffet on their site.
Honest catch. The midday window closes early. If your showing ran past 2:30, you are into the dinner gap. Plan the clock, not the pin.
The Naan, 1686 US-41, Suite B
The Naan is the North Indian room a short drive north of Tandoor on the same corridor. Official address: 1686 US-41, Suite B, Schererville, IN 46375. Phone listed: (219) 440-7721. Published hours: Wednesday through Monday 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., kitchen closed 3:00 to 5:00 p.m., closed Tuesday. Tandoori plates, naan, biryani.
Honest catch. Tuesday is not their day. The same midday cut as Tandoor applies. Monday lunch works. Tuesday lunch does not. Say that out loud before you build the tour day.
Portillo’s, 1403 US-41
Portillo’s is the Chicago street-food stop when the Illinois buyer wants Italian beef between houses and nobody has time for a wine room. Official address: 1403 US 41, Schererville, IN 46375. Phone listed: (219) 276-8150. Published hours: Sunday through Thursday 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m., Friday and Saturday 10:00 a.m. to midnight. Drive-thru and dining room.
Honest catch. It is a chain. It is loud. It is still the honest Monday lunch for a family that drove from the south suburbs and needs food before the next lockbox. We will not pretend it is fine dining.
Parking, timing, and the lunch you would actually have
Most of these rooms have a lot. The lot sits on Main, Wicker, or US-41. You will sit at a light. You will not circle a courthouse. Cooper’s Hawk wants a reservation. Tandoor and The Naan want you before the lunch window closes. Portillo’s absorbs a late arrival. Mi Sueño covers the long lunch that became early dinner.
Kennedy Avenue has been a live construction corridor. Drive the route to lunch if the house you like sits on it. Confirm Lake Central on the lot. There is no South Shore station in town. Census mean travel time is still a town average, not your Tuesday on 41.
How this ties to the house
Buyers treat Schererville as easier dinner than Illinois and then tour on Monday. Chapter 1 already said the local dinner five go dark that day. This chapter is the lunch answer. Walk one interior street and one 41-adjacent street in the same hour. Then pick one of these five doors and notice the lot and the clock.
If you want the dinner five, start with Chapter 1 on the town shelf. If last Sunday’s Crown Point breakfast is the meal you actually want, that column stays live. Live inventory starts on https://www.realest.com/listing. Town context: Schererville, Indiana homes and Moving to Schererville, Indiana.
