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

“Great place! Owner is wonderful!“

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

“This drive in is perfect for good weather. It was easy to order using your lights to get a server, and the menu was easy to navigate from the car. I got a kraut dog, a cheeseburger, and a mug of their root beer. It was all delicious, and I especially enjoyed the cold root beer on a warm afternoon. Prices were also quite fair, so that was a nice surprise. I’d definitely eat here again. It’s an island of old school cool.“

“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!“

“2nd time there and had the Jalepeno Popper burger (again) and the Ghetto fries. Burger was delicious and perfect in every way. Cooked to perfection. Fries were really good as well. Finally a place worth the money!“

“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.“

“Excellent from start to finish. We had amazing food and award winning service. We stopped here after a morning at the beach and a walk around the lighthouse. What a gem. We had Caribbean shrimp and pineapple wrap, sweet potato fries potato salad and chicken tenders. Absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for an awesome experience and wonderful food. Love it!!! We will visit again“

“Very, very good Reuben sandwich. Their carrot cake sings in your mouth!“

“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 :)“

“We love Leeds, the relaxed atmosphere in the courtyard, the variety of dishes on the menu and the good service. Everything we have ordered has been good, including the presentation. We have not been disappointed. Also, I would like to send a shoutout to the young man, Ben, who has waited on us a few. What a delightful young man. I spilled my drink on the table and he immediately cleared everything up and placed us at another table. He also made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. We visit Leeds House a couple times a month, sometimes more.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Delicious meals at a reasonable price. Service was friendly and efficient. We will definitely be back.“

“go to memo's hungry! the portions are very generous! great food, service, and they leftovers are great the next morning!“

“Must-try: The fried pickles! They’re zesty, perfectly seasoned, and not too salty. The portion is huge—enough for 3–4 people—so keep that in mind if it's just two of you!
I tried the gluten-free perch tacos, and my husband got the steak. We both loved the sweet potato fries, which were lightly salted and super crispy (not soggy at all). The Brussels sprouts were also excellent—cooked with a nice crunch, and the maple bacon offered a great peppery-sweet balance. Whatever herbed garlic butter they put on top of that steak? New addiction unlocked!
My only minor critique is the perch tacos. The fish itself was a bit bland, but the sauce was the star of the show and saved the dish by adding great spice and saltiness. Next time, I’d just ask for the sweet slaw on the side so the toppings don't overwhelm it. Overall, a fantastic meal!
All that food bright us to a total of $75, before tax and tip. There was plenty of free parking nearby, a nice bar with plenty of seats for dining, and quite kid friendly. The restrooms were also wheelchair accessible.“

“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. The staff is stellar 24/7 crem Bru le 👌 magnificent! fish camp is the highlight of every trip we come here to visit! if you like watermelon tey the watermelon margaritas! You won't be dissapointed!“

“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“

“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.“

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

“Excellent, friendly service along with great food! We then locked our keys in the car. One employee provided a gadget that provided space to use another gadget. Another employee offered to help. A couple then offered their help. He was a fireman and was able to unlock the door! Thank you!!!“
