Restaurants in Chesterton

“The coziest burger place in all the land! Great monthly specials, good drink selections.”

“They always have great service and food. On this particular day, the waitress got everyone's attention and the whole restaurant sang happy birthday to her! That made her day! Thank you!”

“Aliyah was an amazing waitress. It was incredibly busy for a Tuesday night but she kept her head held high! She kept our drinks full and served our food hot. We would love to have her as our server every time!!”

“The lg tenderloin is hubs favorite! He loves it. The fried chicken is wonderful.”

“One of my faves 💗 Doncaster and Voodoo are my favorites but live the spring/summer matcha choices ( especially berried memories) and the fall/winter chai bar. They make their own syrups and it’s never over done!”

“Best Barbecue EVER❤️the pies are all homemade and delicious. The owners are fabulous. Love Smokeys!!!!”

“Delicious for the vegans AND the non vegans!! Our group had Impossible Burgers, regular burgers, a hot dog and a Cuban. We had tots and fries and desserts. Everything was delicious.”

“A great wing place with good sized wings and amazing fries!

For the price you get decently sized pieces of chicken compared to the emaciated wings at other places, which makes them stand out in quality. I always get the Hot Honey wings with ranch.

Justin made sure my wings were made fast and with plenty of seasoning which I really appreciated. A ten piece can last you two meals, which is perfect for a 12 hour shift!

I can't sing my praises enough and will always come back for a quick bite and easy work meals.”

“Been eating here for years and recommending them for years if you want the best burger in Chesteron/Porter area. Some other favorites are the bacon wrapped poppers, steak or chicken flatbread, soups, and the only place I know that still has homemade pub chips. Just had my first ever minor issue with a cook on burgers and the owner addressed it and made it right. I am looking forward to their new bi-weekly specials to try some new items. Gastro 49 customers for life.”

“delicious food and dessert”

“Excellent food and service always!”

“fantastic dinner ! chicken best I've had, the cocktails wow very tasty not some sugar water and booze. The best I've had, if you like a great drink and appetizer make this your stop.”

“Great food and great staff🥇”

“Perfect, no wait...lunch!”

“Never been- walked in and owner at the bar ready to help! Super friendly and very personable . Food even better !!!!!!! Cajun chicken pasta best in area 💙”

“We are on vacation at Indiana Dunes and stopped in at Dog Days today after lunch for a treat. Great place, and AMAZING staff! Our kids, ages 5 and 2, changed their minds on what they wanted a couple of times and the two young ladies working were so patient with us as they took our orders. Very clean and a great atmosphere - My kids loved watching the little train overhead. And of course, the ice cream was delicious! Also, they have a family restroom with a changing table, which may not be high on most people’s list but that can be so hard to find in these little specialty shops and as a family with two littles, having those facilities easily available is just a very nice bonus. Highly recommend :)”

“Discovered them through a wedding we attended. There were both regular and GLUTEN FREE cupcakes. My wife has a gluten intolerance and has found Val's to be a wonderful treat. Strongly recommend!”

“Chips and queso , I'll pay you $10 if you guess correctly if it's vegan queso. Incredibly good. Dunkel weiss and Kölsch from Germany along with home brewed ales plus much more. A repeat for this New Buffalo local.”

“Thank you so much Laura for your kindness, and generosity towards me today and the Lake staff of Red Cross. Your interaction today made me smile.”

“The food is very good service is good atmosphere is great.
They do not have a large selection on the menu but it's all you need everything is made fresh very healthy. Prepared very well.
We went there twice. And each time was the same everything was very good and very well made
They have a huge selection of teas to choose from. They do have fresh baked goods.
They also have a sister restaurant for Mediterranean food
If in the area will be visiting quite frequently. 👍👍👍👍👍👍”

“Came here at the recommendation of a good friend was definitely not disappointed. Its a smaller establishment so that was tough to deal with as far as anxiety goes, but we didnt have to wair long to be seated! Dexter aka Spicy White Tuna Roll was our server and he was efficient, friendly, and hilarious! I tried the Dragon Egg (what a masterpiece!) as well as the Autumn Lemon Roll (I LOVE lemon and was quite pleased). You get what you pay for here but it was an awesome sushi time!”

“💯 yes!! This place is like a much needed hug!!”

“We went tonight for the igloo experience. It was wonderful and the staff were very attentive! The igloo lights, music, and atmosphere were perfect for our date night. The food was also great. Highly recommend.”

“5stars!!! Superb crab cakes, lamb and crème brûlée. Will be back soon. Congratulations to Jesus, the new chef.”

“excellent food excellent service the portions are huge be prepared to take home leftovers! I ordered the cheese sticks they were so good I took an order home for later I had the Italian beef sandwich it was awesome and my wife had the chicken alfredo she loved it all this for under $50 is unbelievable we will be back!”

“I personally was not impressed. The atmosphere felt crammed and very loud. I think the metal roof contributes to amplifying the sound and I could barely hear the people I was seated with. I will say the kids loved the pizza. I thought it was good but probably wouldnt come back.”

“My staff asked me the other day if we could all order smoothies from Smoothie King. Not being a particular fan of smoothies in the past, I only reluctantly said okay. I’m glad I did. Not only was the service fast and friendly, but the smoothies were amazing! We all started our day off in such a great mood because of our fellow local small business and customer service colleagues over at Smoothie King. Thank you so much!!!”

“Danny O’s is one of my favorite places to grab a cold one and some dinner! I miss Brylee she really made every weekend personable and great! Lots of other great staff as well.”

“Absolutely love! Not only are their products amazing and tasty, and the staff there is so kind and friendly!”

“Today my family and i dine in this establishment and the food very delicious. I had the rib platter and the ribs were meaty, tender and the sauce delicious 🤤 Samantha, our waitress, nice and polite, and she served well. I speak blessings upon Round the Clock.”

“awesome place ran by great people. serving up great food. good place to just relax and kick back. friendly atmosphere. if you have the chance check it out.”

“We had a large group and came in for lunch. I had the chicken shawarma with steak bowl and we had the falafel bowl. The homemade carrot salad and hummus was great. Its a great alternative to a Chipotle or resturant like one. They also have gluten and diary free pitas.”

“We enjoyed our after dinner treats. My nephews got a banana split and a Brownie Oreo Cupfection....$13 for the two. A bit on the pricey side. But, they enjoyed it and ate every last bit.”

“Highly recommend! We had Holly for our server and it was amazing! Food was amazing and she was hilarious! 10/10 recommend and you won’t be disappointed with her or the food!”

“Was doing a Thursday night when it is usually not very busy. But we were from a wedding party and there was only one person working and she did an excellent job! I could not believe how she took care of all of us and she was by herself”

“Everyone is so friendly. It is refreshing in a cold world. I don’t know if the employees there realize how much they do for my soul. They are the bartenders for the recovering alcoholics. They are the only Good Morning for the over worked single mom. I know it may sound silly to most but when you are lonely and depressed you learn to appreciate the little things. Thank you sweet strangers!”

“My family and I LOVE this chicken. My husband eats the tenders almost daily and they are huge. The man that owns/makes the chicken ALWAYS makes a fresh batch for me. They are the kindest people and everything we have tried has been delicious and fresh!”

“stopped by as our son wanted a Chicago style pizza, and I wasn't driving into Chicago. it was amazing. the young lady that was serving us was great at her job, overall great experience”

“Woke up this morning starving ! Well maybe not literally 🤪 woke my husband up and we came I. For breakfast. Was having a rough morning already so when our waitress came up to our table (AMY!) she was so incredibly kind! Smiling ! Helpful! She was “tag teaming” with another waitress (i dont remember her name) but one brought coffee one brought waters and BOTH brought smiles!! When our meals were brought to the table my husband and I (as we always do whether we are at home OR out!) held hands and prayed …. Later Amy came by and said something along the lines of “it was so nice to see you two holding hands and praying in public “… she had already made a comment t how nice it was to see us holding hands …. She really made my morning! Her kindness changed my rough morning to something that turned out to be a great day….AND the FOOD was ABSOLUTELY fantastic as always!!! As a matter of fact it a now 844 pm and I just ate some of my leftovers (ill finish them in the morning!) Thank you to whomever hired Amy! THank you to the chefs in the back for cooking such amazing food! Amy! Thank YOU for making my day much better than it had started!!”

“so welcoming and lovely, party atmosphere”

“Absolutely love this place. The bartender is the bomb! She makes me everything in anything I could possibly want. Food is amazing! I recommend that everyone comes here!”

“Great service tonight! Monday December 2nd 2024! Hard working, pretty lady who's name started with M😁 Food was excellent 👍🏼 Jalisco and Steak tacos! Yummy homemade salsa too! Very happy we stopped in!”

“todo bien la comida muy rica y caliente”

“Came for the buffet in Michigan City, so delicious!!! 10/10 give them a try!!!”

“Everyone is so friendly. It is refreshing in a cold world. I don’t know if the employees there realize how much they do for my soul. They are the bartenders for the recovering alcoholics.

Thank you sweet strangers!”

“I've been eating here since the beginning. The food is the best everytime. My wife and I brought her parents from Milwaukee here. Now whenever they come to visit they always ask if we can go to Tao Chens for lunch! Great food friendly staff .”

“10/10 staff and delicious bevs!”

“Enjoyed the 1st floor better last year with the restaurant. Now, overpriced cold cuts and $4 for a couple spoonful's of potato salad. We had never been up to the 3rd floor in previous years since we have children but, now it is open to anyone. Fantastic view, nice selection of vacation style drinks, great tasting tacos and of course, the beach! Worth the 2 hour trip several times a summer. Will be returning for sure............but not on the 4th of July weekend!”

“I gotta send a shout out and a lot of praise to Nick and the crew here. My main issue with Subways in the past, is how hit or miss it can be. However that’s not the case here. Me and my manager order lunch from her about once a week and both the food as well as the service are consistently excellent. My go to is the BMT and I like a lot of toppings, as well as I am one to get some sauces. That can lead to a messy and sometimes straight unmanageable sandwich. Here though, they thoughtfully assemble ingredients in reasonable proportions and adequate amount of sauce. That along with firm yet full bread which is never overly toasted, avoiding that scattering of crumbs with every bite. This all makes for a sandwich I can enjoy as opposed to just trying to keep it from fall apart.
The service is also always pleasant and the team accommodating. I prefer giardiniera on my sandwich but the app doesn’t have that as an option and often I forget to ask for a side in the special instruction. But the crew is alway quick to oblige me, even when they’re hard at work on multiple sandwiches.
All in all, as one who really looks forward to my lunches, it is a relief and a comfort to know that the food is gonna always be satisfactory and often the solace on a particular rough day. Too often these forums are used to berate or complain, so I wanted to take the time to acknowledge and show appreciation for people who seeming put a lot of caring into what they do . Thank yall and keep up the great work!! ☺️🙏🏼”

“Patrick is the G.O.A.T he helped us and other costumers with a great attitude. He was very considerate to help the poor when a customer stole a drink after faking getting water, correcting the behavior without causing any harm. Great Service and employees with an even better attitude! Thank You!!!”

“Everything was good as well as the service would I recommend this restaurant that’s a hard yes”

“Great group of people work in Arby’s, I’m there for my mom at least once a week and they are always polite, professional and respectful.
Bathrooms are clean , dinning hall is clean and warm.
Stop in and try it if it’s been a while .”

“Went in today kiosks closed cash registers closed asked a lady if I could order she said too busy fu#k this place I'll never stop there again”
