Oy, McVey's! Top-drawer eats in Lowell - Northwest Indiana News, BY BARBARA ROLEK, 22 October 2006; If you like Dick's Restaurant in St. John, you're going to love McVey's. The throwback to a '50s supper club features steak, seafood, chicken, and seldom-seen shrimp de jonghe, chauteaubriand for two and broasted chicken. Nearly everything is made inhouse, including three salad dressings, tartar, lemon-dill and cocktail sauces, and daily soups. I understand a recent sweet potato bisque was killer. Opt for a two- or three-item combination dinner to sample several dishes in one fell swoop. The steak-shrimp-crabcakes combo -- a tender 8-ounce sirloin steak, two chubby crabcakes made with real blue lump crab meat, and four butterflied sautéed shrimp -- was a steal at $17.95. Look for prime rib all day Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays ($16.95 and $23.95). Other house favorites are ribs, pork tenderloin, meat loaf, Shrimp Scampi Linguine, Chicken Parmigiana, sautéed or deep-fried lake perch and crab legs. A terrific value is the four-piece broasted chicken dinner from noon to 4 p.m. Sundays for $7.95. - suggest change
