Tradewinds & The Galley-Elkhart LLC

This is a wonderful place to eat, though it has about an eigth of the menu options that the Mishawaka location has. The service is fantastic. The food tastes great. The problem? They're never open. Always closed at night. Go to the Galley? It's too loud for kids and people with sensory issues and tall tables that are uncomfortable. I'd rather eat at the restaurant at night and not just breakfast. What's the point of having a location if you're not going to be convenient?

Have been in for breakfast a handful of times now, a very friendly place. An all around good place, hot coffee on point, clean silverware and plates. Food all comes out together, with plenty of options ❤️. 😋 Khylie and Kierra don't stop moving. Constantly refreshing coffee, and cleaning up after us.

Veggie omelet and wheat toast. One slice of the toast was on the burnt side. The omelet was ok, not the best I have ever had. The omelet appeared to be made of either 2 large eggs or 3 small eggs, lacked fluffiness as an omelet normally has but it was ok.
Others in our party had various dishes that look good and appeared to get a nice serving. If I go there again, I will try other dishes.
The place was busy but not super busy. There was a steady flow of customers. I would try again.

One of the worst bar experiences I’ve ever had. Sat at a table outside, me and my ground ordered drinks, later went to close our tab after our server, Rachel didn’t come to us once again for 3 hours and then she lost my card. Told me I never gave her my card and that I never ordered anything. She was completely intoxicated at this point in the night and was incoherent and fumbling everywhere. Other servers came to help and knew it was bad when I told them who my server was. I finally asked for the manager and she said someone turned in my card as Rachel dropped it. Never open a tab here!

quiet Sunday brunch

Stopped in on a weekday morning for a late breakfast and had a wonderful experience. My son ordered pancakes & bacon while my husband and I each ordered a breakfast skillet. Food was good and service was fast and friendly. Highly recommend and will return again.

My mother, my toddler and I were looking to get out of the house, enjoy the weather and celebrate ourselves as mothers today. We called ahead to Tradewinds/The Galley to see if there was a wait and where we should go as we had a child and wanted to make sure we were in the right part of the restaurant and also not overloading a restaurant with a holiday crowd. They assured us there was no wait and that our family was welcome on either side of the restaurant. We entered the Tradewinds side and there were a couple other tables sat, but no one else, no one waiting, and no staff to be found. We waited patiently and started to venture towards the galley side to see if we could find someone when a waitress came in and told us to seat ourselves anywhere and help ourselves to a high chair. I grabbed a high chair and we all got settled into a booth when another waitress came in and said she was so sorry but that the Tradewinds side was closed but that we could go dine on the Galley side. No problem! I asked if it was ok to just walk through the connecting doors and she said yes. When we entered into the Galley side, it was immediately filled with lots of high top tables that were all full of people and also crowded with standing people and there was hardly room to walk through there so we headed out to the patio where there had to be at least a dozen plus empty tables lower to the ground and no one in sight. We went to seat ourselves at a picnic table and were immediately stopped by another waitress and told a volleyball tournament was about to start and that we couldn’t sit there. She gave us no direction on where we could actually sit and started to walk away so I asked if she could point us to where we WERE welcome to sit and she pointed me back to all the high top tables and said anywhere over there. There were so many empty tables outside that there’s no way all the crowd inside (who I’m assuming was the volleyball crowd) could fill them up. It was clear that if you were not a man or at least childless you were not going to get any attention. We ventured back that way but we were treated by the rest of the staff and customers as if we were invisible or in the way. I felt like we were invited in just to be dicked around and especially on Mother’s Day, totally disrespected. I’ve served tables and worked behind a bar and this was just so disheartening. Please do better or don’t invite children in at least. Someone could have easily guided us to a table that was preferable to them in the first place or turned us away for the tournament before we wandered aimlessly to find obstacle after obstacle.

Fast friendly service. Food was very good.

I don’t know what happened there today. I have a feeling it’s not always this bad, but my first experience makes me want to make it my only experience.

First off, the pancakes were really good. That’s where the good stuff ends.

We waited 50 minutes after ordering for the food to get out. It wasn’t super busy but maybe they had staff shortages in the kitchen or something. These things happen I understand, but it’d be nice if they updated us. We ordered during breakfast and the people who came in later who ordered lunch got their food well before ours. We didn’t get offered refills until we asked for the check.

My table ordered four sides of hash browns. One was supposed to be crispy the rest normal. We instead got two orders burnt, one normal, and one raw.

My steak was supposed to be medium rare, I got well done, and my scrambled eggs were runny.

My friend ordered the breakfast sandwich and there were raw egg whites. She ordered a cherry danish and was brought a cinnamon one instead.

Another friend ordered a chicken skillet. It was burnt and there were two large chunks of chicken in it. His side of toast was very cold.

And the last order for our table was the tradewinds omelette, and that too was undercooked.

Our server was friendly, but she rarely made her way to our table.

The price here isn’t bad on its own, but for the quality of the food it’s definitely not worth it. First ever breakfast place I’d give a 0/5.

Service was bad, food came out cold, order mixed up, home fries on edge of being over cooked would not recommend
