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
Not cheap, but worth every penny! I have to partake every time I visit Michigan City in the summertime! It's an awesome Drive-in restaurant where you can eat in your car, or sit with your group at the picnic tables. They have a huge menu, but I always get the same thing...I know! But I can't help it! -hot dogs with raw onion and mustard, onion rings, and a large root beer... They make their own root beer! You need to check them out! - D. L. Wright
Had an amazing lunch date with my girlfriend at Carlson's, and the staff was so helpful and patient!
For me, the ROOT BEER was the highlight and Marlo's favorite part was the fried zucchini! ? There are so many tasty options here and friendly conversations waiting to happen, so plan a time to visit Carlson's!
