SouthShore Drift Company, located inside the Hilton Garden Inn in Chesterton, offers a surprisingly high-quality restaurant experience that stands out from typical hotel dining. The food is consistently praised for being good and even amazing, with special mentions of the wings, which are recommended to be crispy and enjoyed with buffalo sauce for a classic flavor. The restaurant features a variety of food specials from Monday to Thursday, including burger night, taco Tuesday with $1 beef tacos, and wings on Thursday. Fish dishes, such as Fish Sandwich and Fish Tacos, are also available, though some reviews mention that the Fish Sandwich was overcooked and the Fish Tacos small. The menu includes dishes like chicken caprese flatbread, coconut rum shrimp, and desserts, which are highly recommended.
The drinks menu is also notable, with unique options like the banana affair—a blend of banana and chocolate—and a chocolate old-fashioned praised as one of the best in the area. The exterior patio adds to the ambiance. Service is highlighted as excellent, especially with attentive staff like Jordan, who was described as observant, friendly, and professional. Overall, SouthShore Drift Company offers great food, good portion sizes, reasonable prices, and a welcoming atmosphere, making it a hidden gem worth trying.
