“Amazing! Great bar and restaurant. Location is prime, love all the room and outside portion. Excited to come during the summer. The decor and open lighting is just brilliant! Great spot for a party, date, or get together.Service is excellent, staff works great together. Drinks are delicious, they have creative cocktails and a wide variety of beer to choose from!My absolute favorite thing was the oyster shooter! Try it! I’d get it as a cocktail if I could!”
“The food is amazing, the desserts are popular so order them early. Good beer selection with excellent staff taking care of you. Whenever we come to this area we don't miss an opportunity for dinner at the Octave grill.”
“Just happened on this place but what a happy accident! My daughter and I had time to kill driving to Chicago and gave it a try. The coffee was hot and the food was fantastic! It has an easy going atmosphere and the wait staff was friendly! If ever near there again, we will stop by for ”
“The catfish nuggets and the catfish dinner were delicious...hot and fresh and I highly recommend...the staff was great...We will definitely be back to try everything else on the menu:)”
“Much better than your standard fast food joint. They have some great combinations available. Food was very good, dine in is a little cramped. I would definitely return.”
“I can't imagine eating a meal here and not being full! We got the beef patty, curry chicken (pictured), and stew chicken. Kids devoured the rice and beans like there was no tomorrow. The sauces are very flavorful, and the candied yams are VERY sweet. Service makes you feel right at home. For families with young kids, they have high chairs and changing tables!Kid-friendliness: High chairs and changing table”
“This is a delightful place to spend my lunch hour. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I've tried a large variety of the coffee and teas by now and everything is served exactly as it should be. And the pastries are the best treats!”
“Great stop when in Michigan City. Large beer list and very good food. I had the Nashville hHot chicken sandwich and it was very good. Not too spicy for most. I tried the fish sandwich also which was phenomenal. Staff was friendly and helpful. Overall a great experience and we look forward to returning.”
“This area has some great options for good food and this was my favorite place for dinner while in the area. The service made you feel like family, the meals were delicious and authentic.”
“We always enjoy the friendly atmosphere and unlimited popcorn!Kid-friendliness: We bring our grandchildren here regularly. It is our first choice when they are with us. All 5 of them easily find things they like on the menu. They enjoy coloring and eating popcorn while waiting for their food.”
“Lakeshore Cafe is a delightful establishment that pairs the allure of a coffee shop with the heartiness of a cafe. It proved to be an ideal setting for a leisurely breakfast, complete with exceptional coffee and a menu that tempts both the eye and the palate.I indulged in the Milky Way Frappuccino, a decadently sweet concoction that bridged the gap between beverage and dessert. Opting for the smaller size was a wise choice, as it packed the rich flavors of a dessert into a cup, perfectly satisfying my sweet tooth without overwhelming it.The star of the morning was the Lakeshore Scrambler sandwich. Nestled between slices of robust ciabatta bread, the sandwich was an ensemble of well-prepared breakfast staples, accompanied by a side of delectable potato chips that added a satisfying crunch to the meal.My companion's choice, the banana split parfait, was a visual and flavorful delight, offering a healthier yet indulgent alternative. We also shared a muffin, which was a delightful treat to round off the meal.Admittedly, the prices at Lakeshore Cafe veered towards the higher end of the spectrum, aligning more with what one might expect from a national chain rather than a local cafe. However, the unique ambiance of the cafe, with its charming decor and inviting atmosphere, made the cost more palatable.Adding to the overall enjoyment was the staff, whose friendliness and accommodation shone brightly. They ensured our experience was not just about good food but also about feeling welcomed and well-cared for.In conclusion, Lakeshore Cafe is more than just a convenient stop for shoppers at the nearby outlet mall—it's a destination in its own right. With its combination of delicious offerings, pleasant surroundings, and top-notch service, it's a place where the price tag becomes secondary to the joy of the experience.”
“Not sure why they don't lean into old chicago kinda vibes. No Malört on the shelf but hey thats ok, the patrons gotcha covered if youre lookin to make faces. Outta this world burgers and pretzels for the prices. One of the few bars I feel comfortable in.Edit: I guess theyve started stocking malort since the last time I asked for it! Hurray! I can ruin many more friendships in the years to come!”
“We were looking for a quick bite to eat and we didn't want the same old places. We found this gem and were not disappointed. We came the last day they were open for the season but we plan to visit again when they open in the spring.”
“Drove by randomly on our roadtrip and decided to try. Glad they have vegan options. Sweet potato fries were so good! All food was freshly made. Good experience:)Vegetarian options: Vegan options available.Parking: About 7-8 parking spots along the street.”
“Went out of our way from New Buffalo to try Vita del Lago, and lucky we did. Fabulous food all around, all 4 of us, well-done, cozy atmosphere and superb service. We were early on Central Time, so the place was mostly empty. The appetizers were on special, 1/2 price for happy hour. The shrimp and calamari appetizer plate was to die for and large enough for dinner. The bruschetta was equally good. Two folks tried the mushroom truffle ravioli, and both rated their dishes excellent. Interesting cocktail menu to boot. We had to try something called 4-Tier Carrot Cake for dessert and that lived up to its billing as well. We have a new fav place.”
“Waiter ( Josh ) total professional. Went out of his way to accommodate our wants and needs. My Birthday today, got a strawberry shortcake for my birthday. I will come back there not just for the good food but service.”
“Amazing vegan food! The loaded fries with Cheese and jalapeno were sooooo good! The Oreo milkshake was great too! I got the bacon cheese burger and my boyfriend got the spicy chicken, both were really good! Highly recommend! Their dining area is super cute too!Vegetarian options: Everything is vegan”
“One of the Mexican places that I've been to in NW Indiana. The menu is large and contains just about everything you could want, the prices are very fair for the very large portion sizes, the chips that you get are very warm and fresh and everything can be summed up in one word AUTHENTIC!”
“Staying at the casino and decided to give Galveston Steakhouse a try. We were seated immediately. The menu and prices are fantastic. They had several specials of the day. We ordered the sampler appetizer it came with fall off the bone ribs, jalapeño poppers, mozzarella sticks and chicken wings. For our main course my girlfriend ordered the chicken parmesan and I got the ribs and pork chop combo. This honestly was the best food I've eaten in many years. The pork chop was so tender and flavorful, the ribs fall of the bone and melt in your mouth. My girlfriend loved her chicken parmesan. The portions are huge. The dinners came with choice of soup, we got Italian wedding soup, that too was fantastic. It's been 24hrs since we've been there and my mouth is watering thinking about it. Everything from the staff, service and food was perfect. We will most definitely be back.Parking: Ample parkingWheelchair accessibility: Galveston Steakhouse is wheelchair accessible.”
“Up in smoke is one of the best places to go eat in MC! They are at an elite level!! The food is outstanding especially the ribs tips and mac and cheese!! If your looking for delicious food this is the place for you!!!”
“It was my first time here. It was about a 5-minute wait to get seated.I had water and menus in a few minutes and within 10 minutes of arriving my order was taken.The establishment was full and had multiple tables of seven or more people.I would say it was only about 15 minutes from the time I got my order into the time I got my food.The wait staff was excellent and so was the food.Highly recommend this place.Dietary restrictions: There are multiple choices on the menu for people who have restrictionsParking: Multiple spots Big parking lotKid-friendliness: There are lots of kids having breakfast and it was family friendlyWheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp out of the parking lot that goes right to the front door.”
“When I came I forgot to leave a review but I went here back in 2022 to get some treats for my baby shower and when I say the guest loved every bit of them is an understatement and pricing was reasonable. I wish I still had photos but everything was ”
“Was referred here and was grateful for it! The que was exceptional!!! Best I have had since moving back to the north. Service was great! Server was kind and talkative and we even had pleasant conversation with owner/grill master!!”
“Love this place. They have unique flavors that you can't find most other places. The service is pretty fast even if they have a line. Not to mention, if you don't know what you want you can ask for their opinion or they'll let you look till you figure out what flavor you want. The inside of the place has an old school type vibe to it which is super nice. My son loves the ice cream and so do I. It's our favorite ice cream shop around this area and I highly recommend trying it out if you're in the mood for ice cream”
“The type of spot that makes me wish I lived closer, so it could be my daily routine. Fantastic shop and great coffee, with the right focus on the little details.Absolutely worth a stop - they've got something for everyone.”
“Chickpea is delicious!!! Everything is fantastic! The sumac fries are unique and delicious. My husband has tried the gyros and shawarma, both delicious. I go vegetarian and have tried to bowl and appetizer platter, all delicious. And the orange blossom lemonade is delicious. Totally hospitality there. First time we went, my husband is in a wheelchair and the guy saw us getting out of the car and came and held the door open for us and insisted on doing the same when we came back. Second time back months later, he remembered us. Hard workers. People coming in and out, but not too crowded. Lots of takeout too! Everyone loves this place! We live an hour away but looking for ways to get back there!Parking: There is street parking and it's never been an issue to park in front of the restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is totally accessible with a ramp”
“Went here for breakfast today. I had Denver omelet it was huge and delicious, I could not finish it so took it home. Wife had pancakes and biscuits and gravy, biscuits and gravy she said were just okay, pancakes were very good, I am not a big fan of pancakes but tried a bite and they were really good...again huge portions so we took the pancakes home with us. Service very good...if an area again, we would come back and try some other dishes.”
“There was a wide variety of options for everyone's taste. We came across this place right before the dinner rush. It's very close to the lighthouse outlets. Our drinks were nothing extraordinary, but the food was full of flavor. Our server Brittany was great, even when there was a little mix-up in the kitchen with our meal.”
“I made an impromptu stop here and was glad I did! I love that they had boba which I didn’t get this time, but will next time! I got a s’mores ice cream Sunday and it was so good and the owner was so nice! It’s a cute little parlor to visit on a nice summer day!”

“We had them for our son’s wedding and they were fantastic!!! James is wonderful to work with and is very responsive with communication! I still have guests talk about how wonderful it was and not your usual toppings! I highly recommend them! If you don’t have an event coming up then definitely go visit him by the Dunes!!”
