Restaurants in Michigan City

“I go here once in a while when I want a good ribeye steak and they always do it right. The baked sweet potato is my go to side and I always love the fried mushrooms for starter. If you ever get a chance to try the blueberry bread pudding for desert go for it it's phenomenal!”

“Sat at the bar. Ben was our bartender and he was absolutely wonderful! We did not eat so can't say what food was like but we challenged Ben about different ways to make our drinks and he already knew and was amazing.”

“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”

“delicious and fresh np.complaints ! 😋 we had a lobster roll and a bloody marry”

“Lots of gluten free options! Quick service and yummy burger and fries.

Dietary restrictions: Tons of gluten free options! Menu was well labeled.”

“Service is awesome. Very friendly, upbeat waitstaff that checks in frequently.

Garden salads are large and very good.

Block pizza is good, but some of the photos make it look Detroit style with thick, fluffy, crispy crust. It’s closer to grandma style pie with a thin-ish crust that’s crispy, but with the pizza sauce drizzled over the cheese like a Detroit style. Lots of cheese and toppings. Overall super good, just not what I was expecting based on photos online.”

“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 :)”

“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.”

“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!”

“The food was delicious and the atmosphere was so unique. It was beautiful all decked out for the holidays.”

“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.”

“Greatribs good price”

“Chose it on a whim and SO glad that we did! Food was amazing and the service was great too! Definitely recommend trying pa’s chips w/ cheese sauce! Will be coming back :)”

“I ordered food for carry out some months ago. The 'bacon' burger(I can't remember it's name) was hands-down the best vegan burger I've ever had, and I've had A LOT of them. It was just utter perfection. I also had fries which were delicious, homemade chocolate chip cookies which were superb, and a very tasty and refreshing lemonade. The spot is minutes from both the outlet mall and the beach. The place was clean and cutely furnished. The person who served me(I believe the owner) was absolutely lovely. I live in Michigan, but I will certainly pop-in anytime I'm passing through, or I may just make a trip to MC specially for this burger. I hope this place sticks around! Highly recommend!”

“Great place! Owner is wonderful!”

“My wife and I visit Michigan City a half dozen times each year. We stay at the Blue Chip Hotel Casino. Most of our dining is done on property, but we usually stop for a meal in the area on each trip. Today we found Dune Billies when we searched breakfast near me. We were very fortunate to find this place. We went there on a Friday, and it was very busy but there was a table open. I ordered the Captain's breakfast My wife ordered the French toast with walnuts and bourbon glazed bananas. My breakfast came with brown sausage gravy and biscuits, eggs, and potatoes. I consider myself a biscuits and gravy connoisseur, and this was some of the best I have ever had. My wife made a rookie mistake. she let me try her French toast, and I managed to eat easily 1/3 of her breakfast 😂 although the restaurant was busy, Alex our server managed to take our order and get our breakfast to us very quickly. We always enjoy a visit to Michigan City. Now we will be making Dune Billies a regular stop. Maybe next time we will even take home one of their renowned whole quiches!”

“We absolutely love this place! Amanda and her staff are always the best. We tell everyone how great the food is. Been coming here for years and still look forward to each time we come. Keep up the good work!”

“The staff there are just wonderful and I love their coffees”

“This time I tried the mushroom Swiss burger. Cooked exactly like I requested and it tasted great!”

“I just stopped for a little “breakfast-y” thing this morning (6/19/24) and got a bacon quiche….OMG….the absolute BEST quiche I’ve ever had! Great service, nice people!”

“Amazing food. And amazing service. It felt home cooked.”

“Come here all the time. My son and I love it.”

“This place never disappoints!! Great food, fabulous service, and the owner/manager, Pete, is wonderful!!”

“Arturo was great! Our food was fantastic and the restaurant was very clean, bright and the staff all friendly. I had thick French toast with fresh strawberries and my husband had the quesadillas special. Wonderful restaurant!!”

“This was a wonderful find. The corned beef was flavorful. The reuben sandwich had the perfect ratio of ingredients. The corned beef roll was very tasty. The young lady behind the counter was very friendly and helpful. It was easy to give this five stars.”

“Today was our first time eating here and will positively not be the last !! The food and the Service were both Phenomenal!! 10/10 For Sure”

“Not only is Memo's a great restaurant to unwind and have a delicious meal, it's a great place to work. I came into Memo's about a month ago and I am treated very well. The Memo's family is very welcoming to their guest and their employees. I'm very happy I am able to be a part of the Memo's team. I appreciate the portions I serve to our guest. we have food for everyone's taste buds; from breakfast, to light lunches, to filling dinners full of varties. We always have our all you can eat salad and soup bar, or you can get a one time trip to the salad bar with you meal. The choices are endless and our customers always leave happy.”

“10/10 delicious food, great service Eat there it's GOOD”

“I had my very 1st experience with FLUID just a few days ago. The staff was so pleased and welcomed me with such joy, and were very helpful. Chai is my favorite. They had a few different choices, so I ordered the butterscotch, and it was so amazing! Best chai I think I've ever had. So tasty. Thank you for the fabulous 5 plus star experience. I'll be back! 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵”

“We had take out tonight for Scartozzi’s for the first time and to say that we were satisfied is an understatement. I was very impressed with the quality, taste, and portions of our food. We tried the chicken alfredo, one with fetuccini and one with bowtie pasta and both were beyond delicious; the cripsy chicken cutlet on top was perfectly cooked and so crispy and juicy and the bread that comes with the pasta is a DREAM. The caesar salad was phenomenal- the dressing and croutons are to die for. Last, we got the cheese bread which as simple as it is, was very delicious. Aside from the food, the atmosphere was so welcoming and cozy from the moment you pull into the parking lot; since it is December the decorations were so festive and beautiful, and everyone was so pleasant and nice. We have already discussed that this place will become a new weekly tradition—please keep being so amazing! Support local small businesses❤️”

“My girlfriend and I went to dinner at Scoop's tonight. We had barely started eating our food when we noticed a couple of the very young waitresses talking poorly about an older couple that had just left. They were making rude comments about the way they smelled, laughing and joking about the couple while the waitresses were on the floor and in clear earshot of more than just our table. We were so disgusted with the behavior and immaturity of the two waitresses, we reported the behavior to the manager on duty, who did nothing but laugh and joke with them. My girlfriend and I were so offended we asked for to go boxes, paid our bill, and left. As we were leaving one of the waitresses in question was whispering and pointing at us with another waitress. The maturity level of the staff tonight was incredible. I have seen preschoolers with better behavior. I do not recommend this branch if this behavior continues, however, FB will not let you say you did not recommend.”

“Amazing food! When we visit Michigan City, this is where we always stop.”

“Friendly, casual, home-style food”

“I ordered the steak taco dinner and it was amazing. Having traveled from far and was wanting a great place to dine, this Taco on 20 was the absolute great decision. I will definitely be returning when we drive through the area again and will recommend to others! Also, they stayed open after hours for a large party of people and went above and beyond for us.”

“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!”

“We visited Carlson's and it was great. We fed four adults and 1 child for $43. The root beer was refreshing, the tenderloins were hot and crispy, the BBQ pork was flavorful, and the Chicago Dogs were good but slightly bland. Service was great and the food came quickly. Definitely recommend”

“Extremely Fast at responding to an online message in regards to a dessert. Very fair in pricing and the delivered product was top notch! If you would like a one of a kind dessert. I highly recommend Tony's Diner ask for Sue ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“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 ordered Wana tonight for the first time in years. It was so good. The toppings were plentiful. We had it delivered and it was hot when it arrived. Will definitely be ordering again soon!”

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

“Love me some Arby's!!

PS: Download the Arby's app for deals and promotions. I wish you received points for purchases to use for free food or whatnot like what every other competitor has.

But still love it!!”

“We had a great first time visit this past weekend. Our new fav place especially since my fav boba. So many wonderful options from dairy to nondairy. And of course the ice cream Sandwich swing is the cherry on top”

“Michigan Blvd location is the bomb, with one exception. Monday night 7/24/24, Sam was not there to wait on us and he needs to be back there on Mondays. Other 2 guys not good, Sam is very good! Bring him back.”

“Talk about fresh hot coffee! The flavor is unbeatable and the team is always friendly. Cozy spot to relax and next door to Scartozzi's ~ a fabulous little Italian restaurant/catering place that serves authentic Italian food. Nothing like the feel of hometown ambiance. Try Maple City's Snickerdoodle coffee! It's soooo tasty! I was delighted to discover they sell K-Cups! Excellent variety of coffee served and sold! ☺️☕️☕️☕️”

“My favorite place in town!”

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

“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”

“The cheese chili hot dog was very good staff was friendly. Best place to stop”

“The food was DELICIOUS OFC! I was taken Here/THERE, because neither of us 2️⃣ had gone to this one before, & it was an/My early birthday present. The service was WAY DELAYED, We ONLY got 5️⃣ breadsticks, yes we were only a couple & the wait was 25 mins because it was packed. It was shortly before the meal came, which took forever to come (which I understand that is was packed but still it was too long, other tables with a handful of people got their stuff rather QUICKLY so it was likely our server Carter) that I got the NEW blue 🍹cocktail they were offering I was to ask about bcuz She had gotten Her tea, which was also DELAYED well before I got mine! The black tie chocolate moose cake was layered perfectly & an ideal slice with perfect proportion of the chocolate so it was not overwhelming by any means. I'm sure it was MAINLY JUST THE YOUNG SERVER BUT STILL IT COULD'VE/SHOULD'VE BEEN BETTER! HE WAS SERVING A TABLE ACROSS OF US THAT THEY HAD TO COMBINE TABLES TO SEAT & THEIR STUFF WAS ON-POINT BECAUSE HE LIKELY SEEN THAT THEY'D OFFER A LARGER TIP! EITHER WAY 'IMO': YOU TREAT ALL THE SAME.... PROVIDE EACH THE SAME EXCELLENT SERVICE & BEST THAT YOU CAN PROVIDE!”

“Pizza was amazing!! First time customers and definitely returning customers!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!!!”

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

“Fast service and AMAZING sushi!!! Everything was great!!!”

“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.”

“Friendly staff and great tasting drinks!”

“GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE+1(8O5)-41O 5OO2 NO NONSENSE AND GREAT ASSISTANCE!!!”

“the Chinese food was excellent and would get the tacos again”

“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.”

“great atmosphere!!! great food!!”

“I come here from Gary because the food is always hot and fresh. I'm never disappointed. Mrs. Sue always tries to get to know her customers and if you are a regular she knows exactly what you are going to order.I always forget to order extra sweet and sour sauce, but it's always in my bag?It's only her and her husband and they do a better job than a full staffed restaurant. Great service and great food. I absolutely ❤️ this place.”

“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.”

“The food was delicious and the service was top notch”

“Awesome place that looks like a fishingboat. The food was good and plenty. They are also playing cool music and you can see the lighthouse and the drawbridge from the " deck " . Highly recommend it if you are looking for a unique experience in Michigan City.”

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

“However today my rice was ice cold…I was disappointed…Did not receive pita bread with my bowl…Again disappointed… Sauces were very good…A few things were off today…😢 I must say first time having issues…😢 The hummus was very good…”

“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”

“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.”

“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.”

“Average coffee.. Takes entirely way too long to get the coffee. 15 minutes for 2 coffees. No thanks. STAY AWAY FROM HERE”

“The best in town”

“ordered buffalo bread ,we got 4 small slices.was charged $9.00.had deep dish pizza 2 pieces crust was burnt.first time here won't return .online menu prices r way outdated.ill b taking my business to Miller's pizza way better food and prices.”

“Primero me puse triste porque no había tortillas de maíz, segundo estaba congelado súper frío sobrevivimos jajajaja pero la atención la calidad el servicio la comida el sazón Carlos Aguirre un excelente mesero alegre servicial a mi esposo y a mis amigos e hijas nos trató como si fuéramos los únicos clientes nos hizo sentir realmente muy cómodos regresaría cuantas veces fuera necesario y lo recomiendo ampliamente garantizado todo en este súper mega restaurante Familia Marroquín.”

“We had a couple of drinks and some food here yesterday evening and it was fantastic the Lady who looked after us was Danielle and she was very helpful and professional Thank-you

Parking: Great location for parking”

“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!)”

“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! 👏🏻🤗”

“Great food, service, attitude, decor and price. On a road trip traveling different states and by far the best food we have encountered. Can’t eat it all. lol.”
