New American Restaurants near Portage, IN

“Steff is just all around 5⭐️ except when she throws a drink at me jk jk“

“The service here was great! The food was excellent! Definitely coming back! We sat at the bar and watched the chef cook and it was so cool to watch. The entree had just the right acidity along with the color and the presentation was exceptional! I highly recommend them.“

“Everything was fantastic! We had the maple brussel sprouts, loaded potato fritters (that sauce!), the French dip (melts in your mouth), and the best cocktails were the Painkiller, Brewtini, and Liv-Lav-Love. The lemon pie was great, and the brownie Sundae was fantastic (that orange caramel!)! Quick and attentive service, even on a holiday!“

“Celebrated a friends birthday there last night and had an amazing dinner! The entrée of braised short ribs melted in my mouth and banoffee pie could not be beat for dessert!“

“Been eating here for years and recommending them for years if you want the best burger in Chesteron/Porter area. Some other favorites are the bacon wrapped poppers, steak or chicken flatbread, soups, and the only place I know that still has homemade pub chips. Just had my first ever minor issue with a cook on burgers and the owner addressed it and made it right. I am looking forward to their new bi-weekly specials to try some new items. Gastro 49 customers for life.“

“Great Food friendly atmosphere“

“I love parea. I’ve been here many times. There’s been so many amazing times: sometimes not the best. However; it’s a restaurant and at the end of the day people have their off days! I do miss our favorite food runner…Trinity was always so kind to us even when she was visibly overwhelmed. People come and go though! They have an amazing staff to this day!“

“The staff at Lincoln Flats is always top notch. The best service around.“

“Best thing about Northside is metal Mondays!! The best pizza in the region and metal/punk music @ 5pm cheap drinks and killer food. Definitely check this place out.“

“A group of us came here for the first time tonight and will definitely be back. Our server Brent did a great job with our party, our food was great and my espresso martini was amazing!“

“Pikk’s Tavern might just be the best spot in Valparaiso. Went there tonight for my birthday and in July for my wife’s birthday. Jay was there both of those times and he’s so nice and welcoming. Natalie was our server this last time and she was the bomb as well. This place got me hooked on mules and when we returned tonight I seen they had an apple pie mule on the menu that I had to try. 10/10 that drink was absolutely amazing, I had to have a couple. I had the open faced steak sandwich with fries and my wife had the filet. They always bring out their signature steak sauce that’s made in house. At first I was skeptical because a good steak doesn’t need a steak sauce and this one definitely didn’t either. Juicy, cooked to perfection and flavorful. Well their steak sauce just turns it all up a notch. It’s good on the steak, fries or whatever else you want to dip or douse it in. Both times we’ve been there they’ve substituted our birthday desert for us as we’re not the biggest cake fans. They let us get the brownie and it is seriously the best end cap to dinner. We will be going here again and again for our special nights out as not only are the food and drinks delicious but the atmosphere makes you feel like you’ve stepped back in time but in a very homey way.“
