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

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 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!“

“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!!“

“Had a great experience at Leeds, the food was amazing, the staff were very friendly and efficient. The atmosphere here is awesome ill definitively be back try everything on the menu. They have a beautiful outdoor patio as well im sure it looks amazing at night. I had the Turkey Panini with Provolone, bacon, orange marmalade, onion and Arugala, best panini ive ever had, this is a restaurant where its so relaxing you dont want to leave and the music was at a perfect level and good selection ?“

“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 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!“

“The service was SUPER fast and efficient. Did not feel rushed or waiting for long. Very comfortable. Food was delicious, and the coffee refills just kept coming.“

“This was our first visit to Fish Camp and it did not disappoint! Our server Julia was so helpful and patient with all our questions! Our party of 4 started off with the Baked Shrimp & crab dip which was delicious. The main dishes we had were the Seafood Boulliabaise, Walleye tacos, Seared Sea Scallops & Grilled Mahi-Mahi. Each dish was very flavorful and beautifully plated. We will definitely be back!“

“1st time here. Food was basic but decent. I had the perch, which was heavily breaded kinda like fried chicken. I prefer my perch pan fried, not heavily breaded. It came with fries and coleslaw, the coleslaw was good. My husband got the pork chop and said it was good, a little dry, but not bad. It came with green beans and mashed potatoes. The best thing I had was the lemon cake, it reminded me of a zinger and I was very pleased with it. Our server was great. She was kind, helpful with the menu, and overall attentive.“

“They have something for everyone. The food is great and the wait staff is fantastic.“

“My first time at Culver’s. I love that you have a vegetarian burger. It was delicious“

“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!“

“We found this place while driving into town. Tucked into a residential neighborhood with intriguing names of the food. I had a Miles Parker Burger which was definitely in the top 5 burgers I have had in the Midwest. Heaven cheese curds were quite good as well. The What’s my age again grilled cheese was good, but would be better with a grainy bread. The patio in the back is completely enclosed and would be hot in summer but was nice on a September night.“

“Hi thanks so much so much so much“

“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.“

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

“It was very clean, the waitress was very professional and couldn't ask for a better waitress. The wait time was minimal from hostess, seating, order time, and wait time until the meal was served. We ordered the 8oz. Pork Chops meal, which included a soup, french fries, dinner rolls, and mango tea. The price was reasonable and fair for what we received and it was very good. My waitress was very friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we requested.

Parking: Handicap close to the door.

Kid-friendliness: There were children there and they were enjoying themselves.“

“My daughter, her friend, and myself had a great late night snack. Was surprised they were open after midnight. It a must that we eat there again.

Vegetarian options: Great service and really food, and the milk shake is amazing“
