“Best restaurant in Michiana! If you are okay with spending a little bit more for a special occasion, the tasting menu is a great price for what you get and is an overall amazing experience. Incredible food, staff, and atmosphere!!!”
“Despite my unwillingness to admit that anything good can come from Indiana (hah!), I did in fact really enjoy my experience here! The food was good and the atmosphere was fantastic. It felt like stepping into a traditional Irish pub —something I've never experienced so authentically anywhere outside of Ireland. Loved the shared tables (an opportunity to make friends), and the live band (the music was great).”
“LOUD but a great spot on the Notre Dame campus. Great menu, beer, and wine list”
“We ate there this week, had a lovely dinner with attentive service by our waitress, Lisa. The manager came over and welcomed us and expressed concern for our comfort and enjoyment. It was a perfect evening.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“The cherry—or should we say cake—on top of our amazing wedding day! Courtney was an absolute joy to work with, and the cake was both stunning and delicious. Each tier—chocolate, lemon blueberry, and snickerdoodle—was a hit! The vintage piping design perfectly matched the Art Deco vision we had for our wedding at The Brick. Thank you so much! We’re already looking forward to ordering an anniversary cake.”
“Lovely vegan menu! However, the dessert was disappointing and waiter didn’t ask if we wanted dessert before checks. We had the “cake”. The little bit of buttercream and the cherries were phenomenal but the “cake” was like halva almost but not very flavorful and chalky. My non vegan friends were not set a good example of vegan desserts sadly. The others were very different, so a simple dessert on the menu would be nice. Soooo happy for the vegan menu though!!”

“Our favorite. Great food, drinks, atmosphere, and terrific service. Leeann's presence added to our enjoyment of two birthday celebrations. Just the right interaction. Answered all our questions about the menu, made suggestions when asked, helped us choose the perfect wine.”

“If you're looking for amazing food and an authentic joint, this place is it. The catfish is crack!! absolutely addictive. The neighborhood might seem rough, but trust me, that's where you find the best flavors. The owners and staff are genuinely warm, welcoming, and thankful for your business. Plus, the portion sizes are unbeatable for the price. They rarely run out of ingredients, but if they do, it's only because everything's fresh and in high demand. Highly recommended every visit hits the spot!!”
“Excellent service, food and wine! The owner was great in recommending wines too!”
“Great place. Love the spaghetti and meatballs. Dont forget the chicken. I love both fried and broiled. Get the American fries and the red dressing on yr salad. I no longer live in So bend but if i did i wld be there nightly !”
“A little (word used intentionally) gem of a pun. The landlord stopped for a chat despite the place being packed for the Thursday night local Irish musicians jam. I counted five fiddles, six wind instruments and string instrument I did not recognize and two of the Irish drums held on the left hand. Quite the blast. Only thing that would have improved the place was a decent IPA, but I'm from Seattle so spoiled in that regard.”

“The cream of mushroom soup is good. The pretzel is very tasty to One recommendation remove that chili off of your menu it’s disgusting and taste like something that comes out of a can. No flavor no seasonings We didn’t even eat it and told the waitress but she just said ok”
“I would recommend Ironhand for some events but I don’t think they plan for some things. We went to their brunch and bingo this morning which was nice. The food was good and we always love the atmosphere. I was really looking forward to trying the flight of mimosas. It started at 10, we arrived at 10:15 and by 10:25 they told us they were out of flights. There were still at least 5 tables and more bar seats open. Then 20 minutes later we saw people getting mimosa flights. I ended up ordering the mimosa bar which was too much champagne for me and they gave a very small carafe of orange juice. (Barely enough for 2-3 drinks) If you are having a brunch you should plan accordingly. I will be back but I hope things like this get figured out.”
“I would highly recommend Woochi to anyone! My wife and I have been going here for years and are treated like royalty everytime we walk in the door. Ross and the rest of the staff are friendly, attentive, and truly amazing! The food is by far the best in the South Bend/Mishawaka area (especially if you enjoy Asian cuisine) and the atmosphere is tremendous for a nice evening out. I would give Woochi a 10 star rating if I could!”
“Great experience purchasing a replacement behmor. There was an issue with the shipment but Mitchell was a true professional and took care of it without hesitation. They made sure I was satisfied.I'm happy we found Theta Ridge Coffee. Looking forward to purchasing some green beans from them.”
“Ryan was awesome. His ability to craft beers is spot on. Love trying new breweries wherever we go and his selection was the best I have tried. He is definitely a Master Brewer! Wish he was in Indianapolis where we live. My favorite was Sceptre and my husband loved the Champion. The Manta Ray was yummy too. Ohh so many to choose from.”

“My family traveled from Chicago to South Bend this weekend to pick up our service dog for my 5 year-old Autistic son. While the experience was amazing, my son struggled a bit with the trip, as he is very much a person of habit! He woke up Sunday morning asking for a cheeseburger. We scrambled to figure out where we could possibly get a cheeseburger at 8am, and we were excited to see a Burger King near our hotel. We packed up 4 kids and a service dog and headed over. We were quickly and kindly informed that lunch was not served until 11. I told the cashier I had an autistic kiddo in desperate need of a cheeseburger, and asked if she knew anywhere in the area I could get one. Another employee heard my situation and with no hesitation, swooped in said she will make him a cheeseburger. This woman went completely out of her way to help my son. She had a burger cooked and ready to go in minutes. She refused my money as I went to pay for it. When I thanked her profusely, she put her hand over her heart and told me so sincerely, “She understands”. Thank you to this wonderful woman for her kindness and compassion!”
“Stopped by the morning of 12/9/23 for a quick drive through breakfast and I have to say it was the most positive drive through experience I have ever had. I was 4 or 5 cars back in line and I don’t think I was in line for more than a couple minutes. Sandwich and coffee were great and the staff were extremely friendly, professional and efficient. This will undoubtedly be a Saturday morning staple for me on my way to work. Thank you and keep up the great work!”
“My fiance and I signed up for one of the pasta cooking class. We had never been here before so didn't know what to expect. Hands down the best date night we have ever experienced in the area. The hospitality and food exceeded any expectation we had. Truly a one of a kind experience! 10/10 would recommend. I can't wait to try out the limoncello class!”
“Visiting my son at ND, was able to get table without a reservation (thank you). The food and friendly service was superb, will be back again.”

“Highly recommend! This is a wonderful establishment and the owner, Kim, is very informative and genuinely cares for the residents of the Cafe! And the fact that the kitties (except Head Supervisor Chipmunk) are available for adoption is just wonderful for giving these kitties a chance to have a loving forever home. My wife and I cannot wait to return!”
“daves hot chicken is that one fast food chain that when u put it in your mouth you get full easily yet you want another slider, i used to not get the hype but the second time i had it, it easily surpassed chick fil a and canes with its various flavours and spices!!”

“I have been going there for years. Great food and cocktails. Daily specials always great prime rib when they have it and if you are lucky there will be prime rib French dips that are not on the menu. The Bar fish never disappoints also.”
“Currently staying here; cannot talk for certain of the move-out but Linda made the move in absolutely amazing. Everyone here is so incredibly kind both staff and residents.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Some friends and I stopped in for breakfast and will definitely be back! The horchadito was delicious and love the espresso that was infused in it. Our friend said the endless coffee was good! I had the udon and it had great flavor and nice portion. Emily was the bartender that made my Aloha to No One and she made it perfectly! Andres was helpful and friendly! Can't wait to go back do dinner!”
“Just think the ordering system is very strange, not an actual drive thru anymore no window to pick up they take your order outside, payment and then they bring the food out to you, with winter coming how nuts is that! So much traffic with three lanes. Their fries could be a little darker and not so broken up.”
“Not a big bar person, but my husband and I didn't have our kid for the night to celebrate our 13th anniversary, so we decided to stop in here since the theme pertains to our interests. Vibe was immaculate, the owner and the patrons were SO welcoming and nice! The cocktails were amazing and karaoke was fun even though I was nervous. Will definitely be coming back! Thank you for making our night so fun!!”

“Their normal dishes are tasty and delicious - but nothing overly spectacular. Their sushi is very good for the area. South Bend isn't exactly the easiest place to get super high grade fish to and they do it very well. They are by far the best Sushi in South Bend. The lunch value is incredible, $12 for 3 sushi rolls with soup and salad. You simply can't beat the quality and price.”
Cheap Eats
“So yummy! Very nice there are vegetarian options AND a vegan ramen. Many places have a veggie broth but have egg noddles, but here is a delicious vegan option! The tea was great too! Would be nice to have a key on the menu that denotes vegan options in general due to noodles, appetizers, etc. but otherwise great and will be back again! (Are there any vegan milk options for milk tea?)”
“The service was attentive and communicated kindly. Answered all of our questions with care. Food was very good and cooked well. Our table had skillets and burgers including coffee, O.J. and a soft drink. I was very pleased to find out they have flavored creamer for your coffee. Everyone was happy and full afterwards. The name of this dinner has some history to it. They are more than happy to share the story with you. Reminds me of the hidden gems my grandmother took me to as a little boy! Absolutely must visit.”
“We had a baby shower here last weekend and the venue was absolutely perfect for us! We had plenty of seating for everyone and it was very eclectic and cozy for everyone to chat and socialize. The stage area with our backdrop was perfect for opening gifts and taking pictures. I would definitely 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for a place to rent for parties.”

“Great food. Great service. only problem I had was narrowing down what I wanted lol”
“Great contemporary modern style bar/lounge in the heart of Downtown South Bend. The interesting light fixtures and chill vibe make this a fun place to hangout and order a few drinks. There are board games you can play as well as a pool table and if you are lucky you can catch some live music. My wife and I love this place and as a bonus you can catch a live comedy show right in the same building. The only thing keeping this place from five stars are the prices as it's a hotel bar which means inflated prices and unfortunately as good as the food looks I cannot leave a review because I have not tried the food. They have four beer choices on tap usually with one eccentric flavor when we went it was Mango Wheat (Delicious by the way) and the bar tenders were very friendly with quick service, I highly recommend you check this place out!!”
“Good food here can be steep but great sushi overall, from someone who frequents Chicago often and gets very fresh sushi, Woochi offered fresh fish and good tastes. My significant other often comes here as well and he doesn’t really eat sushi so there are options for everyone!”
“Great upmarket burger spot near Notre Dame. We ate here twice during our visit to campus. Good food and easy to access. It's on Eddy Street just a few doors down from the Hammes Notre Dame Bookstore. There is a parking garage nearby with free two-hour parking. Burgers are all great, though if you don't want to rare a hamburger, ask for it medium well. I personally enjoyed the Burger Snack ... it's a smaller burger and just the right amount for lunch.”
“We enjoyed everything about this hotel. Parking was easy, the hotel itself is clean and well maintained, and the staff is friendly and helpful. The ladies at the front desk were so nice and quick, making checking in and out very easy, and answering all our annoying questions about the area. The bartender was amazing and delightful, as was the gentleman at the starbucks. Overall, this has to be one of the best hotels in the area. A big thank you to you all for making our stay so pleasant.”
“Loved my food as usual and I never need a menu!! Best white chili around!!!! 😋😋 And it was awesome to see Manager Bill today!! He is always so welcoming and sweet! He does a great job!! 👏🏼”
“the best service for healthy fast food 😋 smoothie 🥤 energy drinks too nany flavors protein shake 💪 and much more el mejor lugar en south bend pora comida y bevida rrapida y saludable”
“We waited for our take out 40 min past pickup time. The food was pretty good. Then we found a bunch of green mold on our sauce containers... after we ate... hopefully we don't get sick...”
“Great Mother's day brunch. The service was outstanding and the food was good. The view from our seats were great, right by the fireplaces looking out over the pool. It was a nice sunny day but chilly. The fire was a nice touch. Everyone was very nice and the food was outstanding and delish. Have eaten here several times before and have never been disappointed.”
“Great $10 breakfast special especially for seniors. Just enough food and includes coffee. All the food there is very good and they have entertainment on weekends and special activities. Overlooks the pool area and has nice fire tables. Love this place”
“Amazing food! The pasta Alfredo with chicken or shrimp is favorite.”
“I was there for the wings!
Laffin'!
It's a great place if you're looking for a sports bar, though.
Service was a little off, as though our waitress was out of sync or something. It took her a while to come back for our food order & another gal delivered it. The manager (?) checked on us a couple times.
My honey BBQ wings were great, onion rings were pretty good, also. My friend enjoyed her chicken sandwich & fries.
If you're looking for a sports bar, this place is a 5.”

“Visiting South Bend and this place was across the street from my hotel so I decided to try it. While standing there looking at the menu and trying to two decide what to get another customer told me I should try the ribs. So I ordered the half rack of baby back ribs and they were absolutely amazing! The sauce was delicious and the meat was just falling off the bone. They came with fries coleslaw and French bread as well and the price was very reasonable. I highly recommend. I would like to go back and try some other menu items.”

“Culver's is my favorite hamburger and my favorite hamburger restaurant in America. The service is excellent and the servers are always polite and well-dressed in their uniforms. The butter burger is awesome. The french fries are good. The root beer is outstanding. And their frozen custard is fantastic. I wish they'd build that one near my house that they've been talking about on North Hamilton Road Columbus Ohio!!!”
“Well, when you're stranded about 1 and a 1/2 hours from home and you're waiting for Walmart to fix the tires, Applebee's is a great place to wait because they have great food and drinks. I would definitely recommend going to this one or any because they're all good.”
