Restaurants in Michigan City

“Had a wonderful time at Leed’s, the environment is laid back but very clean and fresh. We had a great server who was knowledgeable, attentive, and accommodating.
We had one of the best brunches; cold brew coffee was amazing. Split the brisket quiche and corn beef hash. All the ingredients tasted fresh and didn’t overpower each other. The chef even took the time to clarify the butter used for toast.
Hidden gem.”

“Ordered Takeout and sometimes the food you get doesn’t hold up as well as it would eating it fresh. This was not the case with Cool Runnings. I had the Dark Jerk Chicken meal with cabbage, red beans and rice, and a side of the Mac and cheese. Everything was absolutely amazing!!!! I can not rave enough about how flavorful everything was. That Jerk Sauce was amazing! I love spicy foods and it was the perfect mild spice for me. Just enough to feel the burn but not over power the flavor.”

“Excellent Dinner the Burger was perfect, fries ‘ Delicious! House made flourless Chocolate cake so decadent’ great evening dinner at Fiddle Head ***** A++++++”

“Dawn our server was absolutely amazing! She was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. She gave us plenty of time in between appetizer and soup/salad and our dinner. We ordered the carrot cake to go- which was so moist and flavorful. Thank you for making our 1 year anniversary special!!”

“we stumbled on this gem last summer for the first time and just went back for our 5th time yesterday and we live 3 1/2 hours away! the food is consistently amazing, everything we try we love.

“Had a great meal at Vita del Lago. The portions are extremely generous and delicious. The owner was very accommodating in response to our requests However, the server was Very slow to bring everything we asked for. Again, the food was delicious but would hesitate going back if we had the same server”

“Great beers! Alyssa was a great server. Very friendly and attentive. We tried the catfish bites (absolutely outstanding!!) and a couple beers when passing through. Highly recommend.”

“Great place for meeting up with friends and enjoying wine time. The food is good… we ordered two flatbreads and both were good (Thai chili & jerk chicken). The burger was cool. However. We didn’t really care for the short rib sandwich.
The menu is small but I love that they use all types of flavors. The atmosphere is beautiful with nice views and they have outdoor pods you can rent for your group. Check it out! Nice spot :)”

“This is our second visit to Frosty Boy and once again we were pleased overall. You can't beat the real ice cream and freshly made hamburgers! Also a bonus is that they allow dogs on the patio. Thanks, Frosty Boy!”

“Haven't been there in years. Decided to go there this evening for St. Patrick's Day. All I can say is that there was no room for disappointment. The food was great and their staff was great as well. Not one ounce of disappointment. I've heard of their great reviews and I have to agree with every one of them. We will certainly be going back. BTW, the atmosphere was great as well!”

A+ all around.”

“I was in here Wednesday and had bartender Rachel! She was absolutely amazing! Very sweet , kind , and attentive!!!!! Would most definitely be back just to see her!”

“From the moment we walked in, this restaurant delivered an unforgettable Chicago vibe that made us feel like we were right in the heart of the city. The atmosphere was warm, energetic, and full of character — the kind of place that immediately tells you you’re in for a great experience. The food was absolutely amazing — the type you keep thinking about long after you’ve finished your meal. Every dish was full of flavor, perfectly prepared, and clearly made with care. It’s rare to find a place where each plate stands out, but this restaurant truly nails it. On top of the incredible food, the service was exceptional. We were lucky enough to have Michelle and Kyle as our servers, and they were nothing short of phenomenal. Both were extremely welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind. They checked in often, made great recommendations, and treated us like valued guests from start to finish. Their service alone would bring us back! Overall, this restaurant offers the perfect combination of Chicago atmosphere, amazing food, and outstanding service. If you’re looking for a place that delivers a memorable dining experience, this is it. Can’t wait to return”

“I’ve been a long time follower of Royale with Cheese on social media and finally made it out there this last Saturday. The food was amazing and the serving sizes were plentiful! The fries were crispy and the fried pickles had an outstanding batter on them. The burgers were so tasty, and you can’t go wrong with any they offer.”

“Wasn’t greeted when walked in. Hostess looked more confused that yes we were customers. && we were dining in. Breezy was our waitress. Although she was attentive not very personable. Very MEH. The whole experience from start to finish. The food was good the ribs could been cooked more. A little on the dry side as if they were old. Not a lot of barbecue sauce. Mozzarella sticks were good along with the quesadillas. We opted for just the cheese sauce on our fries. I asked for Asian zing and my mom ordered garlic Parmesan both were good!! Other than service being okay just okay we had an overall okay experience.”

“They staff here are amazing the food is delicious we have not had a bad experience as of yet. Hollie Deb Cat Joey Stacy… even the bouncers I mean everything and everyone is great… karaoke nights Tuesday and Thursdays are always fun!!! Also hats off to the cooks who keep us fed with delicious meals on our fun nights!!!”

“several years ago we noticed the banners when we were going to the outlet mall. Curiosity struck us to see what was going on, newly opened... It was wonderful! Over the years we drove there for dinner and casino time. After Christmas thus year a friend and I went on venture, ended up in Michigan City to do a little shopping. We stopped for a late lunch, the menu had changed, atmosphere changed some... The service was still top notch and food was great! highly recommend the grilled chicken with bacon jam!!!”

“Steak was cooked perfectly, filet was tender. Wasn’t sure about the cooked garlic bulbs on the plate and some flavors didn’t meld right. Baked potatoes was XL. This is a temporary space while remodeling the new space. Looking forward to it.”

“we went on the training days. very good food and the servers were friendly”

“Great place! Owner is wonderful!”

“BEAUTIFUL COFFEE !!! Loved how nice the shop looked & the food was amazing!”

“Awesome Workers Good Food And Great Customer Service.”

“I am skeptical of new places and cellar door was a little more “expensive “ so I wasn’t quite sure about them… we ended up having a good experience. Our server was great, I don’t know what her name is but she was young, short dark hair and glasses. She was knowledgeable about the menu and was friendly. Food menu is small but the place is still fairly new so didn’t want to hold I against them. I ordered an aperol spritz, not the best one I have ever had, but it was fine. I had the butter chicken for my meal, it was very good and definitely enough for two meals. Husband got the Chicken strips, the portion size was very good for both the chicken strips and the fries. The hushpuppies are not like any we have ever had before (but in a good way)!!!. Definitely plan to go back here.”

“The food is very good! The service is great as well, and I was treated very kindly. I hope they get more popular.❤️”

“good shakes, excellent burgers and just the right amount of sass from the waitress. would definitely stop again!”

“So yummy and gluten free friendly!! 💕”

“By far the best Italian beef in town*** The staff is always friendly and the riff raff is kept to a minimum. Overall it's a great place to munch and grab some beers. They have live bands on the weekends if you're looking for live entertainment. I highly recommend trying if you haven't.”

“My go to in Michigan city for cheap drinks and a good time! Bartenders are all amazing morning or night!”

“Great customer service, they’re very kind & ms Shelly is a sweetheart”

“This pizza was delicious!!! I would have to say that it was the best thin crust pizza that I have ever eaten! You can taste every topping individually because of the quality ingredients! I highly recommend their pizza with the olive oil! Healthy and delicious!”

“Food is very good and price is very fair. Service is very sub par. Waitresses run around like chickens with there head cutoff. I did a reorder on fish and after 45 minutes the waitress said she was sorry but somebody else took my order. Paid my check and left. Don’t know if I will ever come back.”

“Absolutely no highlight. When I was asked what I wanted, the man behind the screen was rude. When I odered a deluxe hamburger, with mac and cheese, he walked away before I could finish my order, of getting an extra side of mac n cheese. Got my food amd only had to drive 2 minutes back to my work to eat. open the container, the mac n cheese was barely warm. It's a tiny, tiny burger, with wilted, nasty looking lettuce on it, and instead of onion slices, the whole pit of the onion was in the middle of the burger. not to mention the hamburger was ice cold. Absolutely terrible service. Went when they while at the Harley Davidson dealership on 421. Would not recommend.”

“Las mejores tortas que he comido en todo USA 🇺🇸 muy bien sabor todo fresco y realmente exquisito 1000% recomendables”

“best pizza money can buy, 10 out of 10 delicious”

“I absolutely LOVED my cake and it was DELICIOUS!!! I will definitely be purchasing from Binas Bake Shoppe again 💓”

“The gentleman who runs the place is delightful. The place sells a variety of flavored coffee and a couple sweet treats but it is first most for roasting and second making coffee. If you want a good cup of basic coffee come here, but they don't do anything fancier. It's small and though not exactly cozy, still a nice place to sit, have a cup of coffee and a donut.”

“The food was the best I’ve ever had. Authentic Mexican and homemade salsas. Nice selection also. Brittany R was a great server. 5 stars out of 5.”

“Great lunch with fun items for your Lakeside souvenirs!”

“Ok you guys got me this time!!! Lmfao staple through the straw! Love the food definitely still coming back.”

“the best cheeseburger I ever had 😎😎💪🏻💯”

“Amazing food! Amazing people!”

“Loved the fancy table tops & welcoming atmosphere. The Chicken Mushroom entree was amazing, as were the Garlic Naan & mango dessert!😋 Can't wait to go back!!🤩”

“A great guy with great service. The best chicken and to-go mac & cheese in Michigan City. Brutal quality that makes Popeyes, KFC, Canes and Chic-fil-A look mid. Nothing will stop me from resorting to Golo periodically. Thank you for existing especially when I’m off my health routine with pregnancy cravings.”

“we went to Gourmet House on Christmas and they have the best crab ragoons. Also the food was delicious. I will definitely be coming back”

“love there pizza and you cant get unlimited toppings”

“My son and I were absolutely freezing so we went to South Bend Chocolate to get some hot chocolate and candy. The hot chocolate was piping hot and rich. We got their old fashioned toffee too- soooo good!!! We grabbed a bag of caramel corn at the last minute and it did not disappoint. It’s hard to remember the place since it’s not on our normal beaten path! It has a large seating area that’s very warm and inviting. It’s a great place to take a kid at the end of the week for a treat!”

“We really enjoy this lounge! Great food, good service. We do miss the live bands but with new owners not sure if they will bring them back. Love their pizza and salads and the fact that the bar is smoke free.”

“Great ambience!! The tea bombs were amazing. I got the "Captain America" one with pomegranate and raspberry!! Anastasia is so nice and welcoming!! She will make you and even your kiddos something energizing and fresh❤🤩”

“The spaghetti was very aladente excellent. Meatballs was very good.Could use a little more pulmonaro Parmesan o. Biggest problem is too much water Coming out with the spaghetti.on the spaghetti. Biggest problem.I ordered Italian sausage with my spaghetti and meat sauce.Meat sauce was good. And I ended up with a meatball instead of italian sausage. That's okay.The waitress messed up and the meatball was fine. My grandbabies had butter and parmesan cheese on their spaghetti and it was very watered.Drain at spaghetti don't need water with the sauces. Altogether. I'll give it a 5.5.It was a good meal Not great but good”

“Alright, I’ve just got to say it—this place absolutely rocks!

I was struck with a craving so intense, it felt like a supernatural force—for fried chicken, of course. But alas, time wasn’t on my side, and I almost spiraled into a full-on, poultry-deprivation meltdown resulting in the unleashing of a fried avian protein-fueled rage!

Luckily, these heroes of the night, and guardians of competitively priced gasoline and other such amenities, saved the day!

Not only did they provide me with exactly what I was hungry for (and it WAS GOOD!), they included a couple sides of different flavors of chicken, potato wedges and mac and cheese, for free!

Well played boys, now I'm happily hooked!! 🏆😁”

“I can't say enough good about this place ! !!it melted in you're mouth and the portions are huge!! Customer service is amazing and so are the prices!! We haven't been able to find any Hong Sue chicken or pork that was even worth our time , this one is to die for !! Hubby said shrimp and lobster sauce was suberp as well !! When you go don't forget the eggrolls !! She gave us plates silverware, sauces etc ...without asking . I can't express how HAPPY we are to have found you !! It's not a look at me place but the food is PERFECT !!”

“Truly AWESOME catfish! It was perfectly fried, nicely seasoned, moist, and the breading (crust?) was top notch. I must say that, for me, this is the best catfish I have had in Northwest Indiana. They are also serving a very good coleslaw. I don't easily find good coleslaw and this ranks way up on my list of sources. This was my first visit and will definitely return.”

“I love cold drinks , sometimes coffee ☕️ in the morning”

“Great food and atmosphere.”

“Amazing food and great service 🫶🏻”

“Drew the window cashier made sure our experience was top notch. Thank you sir. He greeted us with such an awesome attitude. He even corrected mistakes by a simple smile and acknowledged the minor mistake and fixed the error, right there and then. Very respectful. Dave/Terry haha we found that hilarious. Everyone deserves to smile during these hard times. Again thank you for a great experience”

“If you could go to only one fast food restaurant in Michigan City this is the place. One of the oldest Arby restaurants in the world so they must know what they are doing, I have been going here since I was a kid. The food is tasty and prepared well, the staff was helpful, the store is clean and spacious. Bonus for truck drivers, acres of free parking next door.”

“First visit here.
This subway is by far, the cleanest I’ve ever been in.
Employees were welcoming, super nice, and experts at making a sandwich.
I had coupons, which they honored…no questions asked.
Will definitely be giving this Subway location all of my business over the other local Subways.
Highly recommend!!”

“shout out to my barista Diamond, she makes the BEST lattes!!!”

“The waitresses were all so sweet! Even if it’s a little bit of a drive, worth it for the service 100% (and their hair tinsel was super cute!)”

“The best in town”

“Excellent service and friendly staff. They are bilingual as well.. I recommend Everything on the menu 😁”

“White Castle is located inside the speedway. The restrooms for speedway are usually pretty dirty, however, White Castle seems to keep their area clean. We usually drive an hour and 15min to get White Castle for date night as I am addicted! Thankfully I have someone that shares the same love for White Castle as I do.”

“I want to give a shout out to Alicia S. At this location. 8:30 on a Friday night I pulled through after driving 12 hours. Just wanted a hot meal before I checked into a hotel to crash. Food took a good 20 min. Opened it up at the hotel and while the order on the receipt was correct the food was Not! A completely different meal in which 1/2 I couldn’t eat. I called and spoke with Alicia, she did her best to give me a solution and I was so tired I didn’t want to leave the hotel and I hung up. She called me back 5 min later and offered certificates for a meal and a shake for any location and even offered to meet me at 7am as I was leaving early to drive all day again. She was there as promised and apologized again. I also apologized for hanging up on her 😉 She went above and beyond and I feel should be recognized for it. Way to go Alicia! Thank you! 👏🏻🤗”
