14 Best American Restaurants in Chesterton

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

“We absolutely love Culver’s! It’s one of those places that never disappoints and always feels like such a treat when we stop in. Whether we’re going for a full meal or just grabbing dessert, it’s become a family favorite and a spot we all look forward to visiting. There’s something about the whole experience—the food, the atmosphere, the service—that makes it stand out from other places.

The ButterBurgers are always fresh, juicy, and made just the way you want them. They never taste rushed or thrown together, and you can tell they use quality ingredients. The sides are just as good—crinkle-cut fries, cheese curds, onion rings—you name it, everything is delicious and satisfying. It’s comfort food done right, with portions that actually leave you feeling full.

Of course, the custard is what really makes Culver’s special for us. It’s rich, creamy, and perfectly smooth—way better than your typical ice cream. We love that they rotate their “Flavor of the Day,” because it makes every visit a little different and exciting. You never know what flavor you’ll get to try, and it keeps things from ever feeling repetitive. It’s fun for the kids (and honestly for us adults, too!) to check the board and see what’s new.

On top of the great food, the service is always wonderful. Every time we’ve gone, the staff have been friendly, polite, and quick to help. They’re patient even when things get busy, and you can tell they care about giving good customer service. It’s not just the food that makes us come back—it’s how welcome we feel while we’re there.

Culver’s really strikes that perfect balance: it’s casual enough to be an easy family spot, but the food and service make it feel like you’re getting more than just a quick meal. It’s affordable, consistent, and always leaves us with happy memories. For us, Culver’s is more than just a place to eat—it’s a family tradition. 😊“

“I'm 60 have alot of awesome memories. not only the best ice cream the cones taste different as well“

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

“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!!“

“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.“

“Great food, company and fun!“

“Great food and great staff🥇“

“We met friends here for dinner and hubs and I split a small pizza with tomatoes and onions and a small house salad. It was the perfect size for us! He ate four pieces of pizza and I ate two (one piece was a little bigger than the others), The sauce was a nice sweet sauce and there was lots of cheese with tiny diced tomatoes. We got to choose between white and red onions. We chose red, and they weren't too hot, so we were pleased. They had several crust types to choose from.

The salad was quite big; head lettuce, tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, cucumbers, green peppers, cheese, and croutons, and the ranch dressing was quite tasty.

Our friends split an XL sausage and cheese pizza and it was plenty big for the three of them. It probably could have easily fed four, five, six, depending on how hungry you are.

I believe that pizza isn't as good unless you drink root beer with it. The root beer was soooo good (of course, I haven't had a root beer in ages). This was definitely an excellent recommendation. Next time we're in town, we'll return.

The only issue we had was the volume level was quite loud. The ceilings are high and not finished, so the voices bounce all over the place, only getting louder and louder, and then you have to speak louder in order to be heard by the person sitting next to you, and it's a vicious circle. If they just lowered the ceilings or put in sound dampening panels, it would be much more enjoyable.“

“Perfect, no wait...lunch!“

“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!“

“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.“

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