Best Restaurants
“They were really busy when we showed up, got the last table, but that didn't affect the service, they were really fast getting our drink and food orders. And the food was prepared quickly and tasted great. Would definitely recommend!”
“I stop here every time I drive from Pennsylvania to Wisconsin. The food is amazing and the friendly family owned restaurant is the perfect place to recharge on a long drive. We always get the orange seitan and seaweed salad.”
“I had the best time at Carmela’s until I got the bill. I asked Carson, the bartender to pour me a couple samples. I was talking to another customer at the bar about how much I love Montepulciano and the bartender assumed that is what I wanted and poured me the glass. Fortunately that is in fact, what I wanted so I was fine with it. It was a reasonable pour so I drank it with dinner. When I went to check out, there was 2 glasses of wine on my bill. I asked him kindly if he was sure it was 2. He said yes, which I was shocked by. I was sure he had just made an easily correctable mistake. I told him I would pay for it anyway but I really did just have the one glass. He said “you definitely had 2 but I’ll take it off”. Then he came back and said, “there’s nothing I can do about it because the card has already been charged.” I told him that it was fine, it’s only $15 it’s just the precedence for me. He then informed me again he was sure I had 2 glasses. Needless to say ,I was incredibly embarrassed in front of the new friends I had made at the bar. I paid my tab and then cried in my car because it has been that kind of week. The worst part about the whole thing was not being believed. I will not be returning to Carmela’s which is shame because I really liked the wine list.Edit: The owners truly listened and did their best to make it right. I will be returning.”
“The food quality and quantity is unbeatable. The service is exceptional: fast and polite. They never let our drinks go empty. While the time it took for the food to be prepared was a bit longer than you might find elsewhere, it is so worth the wait. I can't recommend the Original Pancake House enough. If you want a delicious breakfast or lunch you can't go wrong here.”
“Don't underestimate this quiet little pizza shop. Fresh dough, fresh ingredients and a sauce that will hold against any others. If love pizza and you aren't running to the amazing pizza shop, I don't know what you are doing with your lives children. Staff is awesome. This place is a diamond.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“What a great j of a place in downtown south bend. My wife ordered the shrimp and grits. Wow 5 out of 5 starts. I don t like grits and these are amazing. I ordered the smoked brisket hash. It was great. The brisket has a mild smoke flavor. I would have liked it to be more Smokey but that is me. The flavor was amazing. The home made biscuits are flakier and super buttery. The coffee is from a local roaster named Zen Coffee it's worth the trip here.”

“This is a fabulous place, showcasing varied art from local artist, the atmosphere is ideal for an upscale experience. Our server, Chellee, was a great conversationalist; attentive and informative. I highly recommend the 8 course chef's sample with wine pairings! Truly a wonderful dining experience! 5 stars without question.”
“We dine at LaSalle fairly frequently and absolutely love the place. Casey is without question the best GM in the area, he and Jen make us feel special every time we come in. We just love this place and highly recommend if you’re looking for a great dinner and dessert. For dessert, if you don’t get the bread pudding, you’re absolutely missing out…”
Restaurants with Delivery
“What a wonderful gem in South Bend! Celebrated my birthday here with my husband - was immediately handed a Birthday Card by the staff and wished a "Happy Birthday!" Such incredible service - creating an experience. Leanne was phenomenal. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.”

“I love their food, however, recently the prices have gone up which I understand, but this morning I got a veggie omelette which was really good, but it was significantly smaller than they used to be. Which isn't a bad thing usually because of all the sides they give you, but I didn't get the sides and just having the omelette on it's own, I was really shocked at how small it was.”
“Amazing. Honestly sometimes a one word review really gets it done. The almond croissant tastes almost identical to an authentic french bakery's. I luckily snagged the last one of the day. However, my favorite pastry, from my box assorted goodies... I should have been stopped at ONE, so far is the pecan bar. A high second is the oatmeal pecan cookie. I clearly like pecans. There was nothing that I disliked. Even the espresso... amazing.”

“Amazon concept and great product it's sad to see the few people who take such advantage of this place and yet they don't allow it to change there attitude or the way they work. By far though it is an amazing addition to the neighborhood and any place would be lucky to have something like this in there town. (To those of you who take advantage, shame on you. To the rest of us, please give when you can and accept when In need. This place can only continue to work if people do there part also.)”

“My new years resolution was to only support local mom and pop business, like mine..we recently moved to this side of town and I have found a keeper !.. greeted with a smile. Prices great , obviously not participating in the gouging others are.. food was done exactly when he said! Pizza was super yummy, only complaint was to much bacon for me lol. Really who complains about to much bacon. We will definitely continue to explore the menu and make this little gem a go to place!!!”
“Love this place. If you go there and you have to wait for a table just wait. Don't leave the food is well worth the wait. The best country fried steak breakfast in the area. Very large portion. The breakfast burrito is also amazing. The steak and eggs are also wonderful. The cooks make the steaks to order and are good size. The staff is wonderful. It is just a nice place overall.”
“Do not question stopping here, regardless of your distance! The food is absolutely amazing, and the staff is just as impressive!! Stopped in 20 minutes before close, had amazing service and an awesome meal! Would consider driving back from NE Ohio just for another plate one day!”
“Cincos5 has been the go-to for great Mexican fusion. They are reasonably priced and always have wonderful customer service.Parking: The city provides 2 hours free parking. The parking garage is directly across the street.”

“I want to thank the owner for her kindness. My 90 yr old grandma called her to see if she could deliver her food all the way on the West side of South Bend. She drove over 25 minutes to take her food and didn't charge her a delivery fee. My grandma really enjoyed the soups. Thank you so much for your kindness!”

“Great atmosphere, went for a Latin dancing night and although it was packed the service was amazing and the food and drinks were top notch. Definitely recommend the flat breads! Lovely evening out, we will be back!”
“Outstanding food choices and quality. Proper brewed favorites on tap as well. Parking was kind of hectic without paying, but possible. We WILL go back, maybe regularly.Parking: Free parking garage across the street on the weekends, if I understand it correctly.”
“I’ve only ever had takeout from here over the years and it’s always been delicious. This was our first dine in experience and I was surprised at how small it was inside. We were seated quickly and the waiter intentionally took our order before another larger party that arrived the same time as us. Our food came out within 5 minutes, our soup, apps, and main dish almost all at once. We would have liked it more staggering but thought maybe they wanted to get our whole order in before the very large table. Everything was good. My husband said it was one of the best hot and sour soups he’s had and I agreed. The crab wontons and egg rolls were very flavor full and crunchy. We both liked our main dishes. I got the spicy beef which was delicious and had a nice kick. My only wish was that there would have been veggies with it. My husband ordered the ko bo beef which was good but he was hoping for a little more sweetness as it had basically none. The rice was good and so was the tea.We for sure will be back and are thankful for the restaurants consistency in quality.Wheelchair accessibility: There is no step to get into the door.”
“We have been to the Cellar a few times and have been very satisfied. I recently attended a Sunday brunch event which exceeded my expectations. The presentation, atmosphere and environment that day was electric. The owners are a delight and I would highly recommend trying it out.”
“We made reservations for a dinner on the day of our visit and were lucky to get a good table. I recommend making reservations in advance to avoid being seated in the Bistro. Also, be prepared to utilize the bookstore parking lot if registered as a guest of the Morris Inn because the lot next to the Inn requires an electronic pass. I am unsure whether parking can be arranged during reservation. Regarding our interior experience, dinner was easily a 5-star event. We were placed in the care of a kind and sophisticated waitor and generally pleased by the overall conditions of the restaurant. Procession through the University toward the Morris Inn was magnificent. We shall certainly return here soon. I recommend the duck with a Manhattan and Death by Chocolate for dessert.”
“Food was great. I love the fact you can get your own drink from a fountain machine.Parking: Easy to park lots of roomKid-friendliness: There is a small gift shop for the family but mostly it's for the kids.”
“We had an early business dinner here. Everyone had a good pizza and they offered a seasonal flat bread for vegans which was excellent. It was not yet full which here means it gets a bit too loud for my taste.”
“I was lucky enough to find this place due to a canceled flight from Chicago to Cleveland. We ordered the tasty tacos (pictured) and some gorditas. Unfortunately, we crushed the gorditas before taking a picture. They were well worth the 15-20 minute we were told it would take. I highly recommend stopping in. The service was great and the food was even better!!!”
“Fatbird is SUCH a great restaurant! Weve gone here the last few years for my husbands birthday and we are NEVER disappointed! The food is reasonably priced and absolutely DELICIOUS! The pimento cheese appetizer is our favorite and is incredible. The jambalaya is to die for. The burger and chicken sandwiches are delicious. The Mac and cheese is addicting. All of the food here is outstanding and the staff is super friendly, kind, helpful, and attentive. I absolutely recommend trying Fatbird. You wont regret it!Dietary restrictions: Plenty of road side parkingWheelchair accessibility: Definitely wheelchair accessible.”
“I've eaten here twice in the last couple months and it was excellent both times. I did carryout so I don't know about service but the place looks nice and clean inside. Would def. recommend.”
“Tasty Mexican food at reasonable prices. I hope to return to this restaurant again soon.Parking: Good location with ample parking on Portage Avenue south of Cleveland Road in South Bend. Not far from the big Meijer and Walmart stores on Portage.”
“Haven't had a Chance to hit up their Restaurant, but had a chance to have their Tacos and fixins from their Food Trailer! Chicken was on point, fully loaded, not skimped on fillings. Edgar is excellent.”
“My experience with the above and beyond service at Woochi started with prompt and professional service for my girlfriends recent birthday party! the 15 of us including me sat down on a Tuesday and were greeted with a fully prepped and ready table, attentive waitstaff and a drink order was in and delivered promptly. Two absolutely delicious sushi boats ( one sashimi and one sushi) quickly followed and everything was off to an amazing start! The restaurants choice in music, lighting, and general feel perfectly matches the refreshing take on a traditional hibachi and sushi restaurant! After an accidental water tip over by one of the guests at my table the staff responded quickly replacing the silverware and napkins, along with drying ( and even going as far as to mop and sweep the entire affected area!) within moments of the accident. This level of service and responsiveness was maintained throughout the dinner and sets an extremely impressive standard for anywhere else! After an absolutely perfect dinner a beautiful cake with a very neat and creative spinning rose centerpiece ended our perfect night and tied everything together perfectly! A few hours later after everyone has returned home we realized one of the birthday cards ( containing a gift) was left on the table by mistake, so I called the restaurant which was understandably closed since it was already past midnight. The next day I received a prompt response from the manager Rob who after I explained the situation. Offered without any type of prompting or request, to go through the dumpster and look for the missing gift! A few minutes later I received a second phone call from Rob informing me that the owner himself had heard our conversation and elected to personally do the deed and had in fact located the gift and would hold onto it until we could come pick itUp!! This level of service, from the gentlemen who helped clean up the spilled water, to the amazing hostess and waitstaff who handled every request we could’ve had. All the way up to the manager and even owner offering and going through a restaurants trash on behalf of a phone call! Shows beyond a shadow of a doubt the highest level of experience I have ever encountered and deserves to be recognized as such! Thank you so much to everyone at Wooshi and I’m excited to visit again!!!”
“I've been here more than 15 time. They have constantly great, speedy service. Food is allways good. I've tried lots from the menu and everything is great. My go to restaurant!!!”
“The blue gill dinner was delicious. The coating on the fish was light and seasoned well. The pizza was one of the best I've eaten with fresh mozzarella and the Caesar salad was a meal in itself.”
“Cincos5 has been the go-to for great Mexican fusion. They are reasonably priced and always have wonderful customer service.Parking: The city provides 2 hours free parking. The parking garage is directly across the street.”

Howard Pork
“They had two intriguing burgers we tried - a Kinoa burger with fried Cauliflower, and "morning" burger with an egg and bacon jam. Both were incredible. Pro tip: the fries that come with a burger are enough to feed two, maybe three. Definitely would come again.”
24 Hour Restaurants
“This was our first time in this lovely restaurant! We had dumplings, rolls, crispy noodles w/shrimp and beef Pho. All the food was excellent and fresh. Service was great and the atmosphere was cozy and clean. Highly recommend this great family run establishment!”
“Visited on a Saturday at 10:15 AM and ordered a croissant egg and cheese (no sausage) meal. It came out quickly but they realized they didn't make coffee, so the wait ended up being a little long. The meal was good and everything was correct. They didn't include anything to stir the coffee though.”
“Went through the drive thru and ordered quite a bit honestly. Was expecting the normal forgotten item or stale fries. Not this place though! Everything I ordered was there, fries and all the food was fresh as it can get. Service was excellent, very good people. Sweet Tea was excellent. Thank you guys.”
“Outstanding food choices and quality. Proper brewed favorites on tap as well. Parking was kind of hectic without paying, but possible. We WILL go back, maybe regularly.Parking: Free parking garage across the street on the weekends, if I understand it correctly.”

Agnone Pizza
“Excellent and flavorful!! As good as any local pizza place I've ever had. Care goes into their family pizza. I saw a unsatisfactory review saying the sauce was bland but I would have to say it must be from a competitor because the spices in their great sauce help make this very good pizza . You're my go to pizza forever! Thank you. And prices are pretty good as well. Jim”
“Went during restaurant week for first time. The porter, cream ale, and ipas were very good. The flatbread cheeseburger and Sicilian were also very good in a quaint ”

“Staff are great, location is greater and food is greatest! One of the families favorite spot for a quick sandwich or coffee for a walk in the park. Soups are fantastic too but make sure to get there early cause they may run out by end of day.Parking: Street parking is often available but sometimes requires a bit of a stroll. No problem in warmer months.”

“Wow! An authentic bakery with delicious goodies. I tried multiple items from their bakery cases and every single one was absolutely perfect. I would highly recommend.”
“I am a regular since they started the Sip club. They are usually pretty good with everything when I stop by. I'm sure they may have issues with staffing sometimes like all restaurants but I almost never have problems here.”

Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Wow! The food here is amazing. Husband and I have tried a bunch of things over the months and everything has been fantastic. The Burrito Bandera has become my goto because it's just SO good. When their beans are done with some heat, best refried beans ever.”
“We don't have Culver's in the mid-Atlantic region so anytime I return to the Midwest I have to get it! My favorite is the pork loin sandwich with mustard and extra pickles, with the fried cheese curds on the side and Culver's root beer! Their butter burgers are also excellent! Custard is always good as well, rich and creamy, with good flavors!”
“As a driver with my family and or just with my wife, I must order inside and to sit down to enjoy my meal at Chick-fil-A. This is a great place in South Bend IN to take a break, relax and enjoy, great tasting food, atmosphere and service from loyal and friendly employees.”
“When got there around 11:30am on Sunday waited 5-10min for someone to come out to take our order. Once ordered it went by quick to get our food. $15 for a polish dinner is hit or miss on how much they give you in to go order. Before had enough for 3 days and this past time had enough for that one meal. It was good as always and always taste the same(never bad). Each day of the week they have a special they do so check there facebook page to see what day they have what on special. They have the polish dinner every day.”
“I got directions to this DQ because I wanted ice-cream... and now I want ice-cream again because I didn't get it yesterday.. and im gonna want it tomorrow... dangit it dangerous!! Ahhh..”
“My kids love their cheeto burrito.......and the one they had last night looked so good that I will be stopping there on my lunch break today. Burrito so big I can eat it for lunch and dinner. Who am I kidding, I'm going to smash it all at lunch and wished I saved some for dinner.”
“This particular DQ is always the best fast food location in the county by far. Orders are always complete. The staff is incredibly friendly. And the place is always clean inside and out. The food is always fresh and hot, and the ice cream is always prepared proper. They dont skimp out on napkins and condiments when you ask for them.”
“Bang bang shrimp and sauce... perfect for lunch!Parking: Plenty of spots availableKid-friendliness: Kids love the chicken strips.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy accessibility”
“The way it SHOULD be!I grabbed a double whopper meal in the drive through. Got through the line quickly and parked to eat. I am sincerely impressed with the quality of the food. The burger and fries were the freshest I've EVER had, almost too hot to eat. The fries were cooked perfectly and the double whopper looked as good as it tasted. No kidding, it was the best representation of the pictures that I have ever seen. I wish I had thought to take a picture. Nice job folks! The Elkhart Burger Kings could take a lesson from you. Keep it up!”
“One of the Best Jimmy John's in the area! Always super clean and freaky FAST service. Our PICK UP orders are ALWAYS accurate. The food is Fresh and Delish! Friendly staff that are super helpful!”
“I have never had a bad experience here! I only order the South Bend Roll or New York Roll, and usually it does take a bit long to get my order but the quality is worth the wait. The portion sizes are also the largest in the area, and for the same price as several other sushi restaurants nearby. I also love that they have a drive thru!”
“I have been a fan of Hardee's Carl's Jr for a long time. The burgers are Angus Beef and are very good. The fries are very good when they are fresh. Clean store and friendly people.”
“The food is always fresh. The manager Carlos is nice and professional. Michael the cook is very nice they make sure my coleslaw is wet not dry everytime I order without having to ask. I work at the airport and tell everyone to go to KFC on western because the food is amazing . Those nuggets are a blast especially with the Buffalo Ranch”
“Dairy Queen is one of my favorite places to go get a decent meal. I usually sit and eat while working on my laptop. Very warm and friendly staff. Reasonably priced food and the chicken strip basket is my absolute favorite. Blessings ?”

“We showed up 10 minutes before they closed. They let us order and eat out food there. The food came quickly and were large portions. Everyone was great. Will go back again.”

“Love this bar! Always a great vibe, bartenders and owners know your name and drink order. Super nice people and great prices! It's our favorite place to go hang out and play a game of pool or ”
“I would've eaten in the restaurant if the clientele hadn't been staring at me. I don't think that they are used to seeing a white Cuban with an Asian. Especially when the white Cuban has a genetic disorder that affects the weight.Vegetarian options: Can't read the menu because there really isn't one and it would be in Spanish if it was. It would be helpful if they had an English version of their menu.Dietary restrictions: Mexican, Hispanic, Latino foods aren't friendly towards corn allergies or sensitivities. I do wish they had more corn free options, but I won't hold my breath for that to happen.”
“Plenty of options ? !!Love the Fried Chicken ?!!After I get a soup bowl for the ice cream ?, l always grab an ice cream ? cone on the way out. . . ?. .Don't forget to rub the genie on the way out, for good luck ?. . .”
“Visiting from out of state and wanted and coffee. I'm not a fan of franchise coffee shops, so I was looking for a local spot...Found via GPS, Coffee Spot Cafe, and I figured I'd give it a try. Also, my sister recommended them.I didn't know exactly what I wanted other than a hot latte that wasn't too sweet but had cinnamon. The lady helping me was like, "I got you!" (sorry, I forgot her name).A few moments later, she brought the coffee to me and was like, "Give it a try."She managed to come up with something custom for me, and it was AMAZINGLY SPECIAL, and I felt it in my soul with the first sip! ???Somehow, she knew exactly what I wanted in a hot coffee. Maybe it was just luck, or maybe she just knows what she's doing and can read her customers well.Either way, if you're looking for great service and atmosphere, do NOT pass up this coffee shop. They also have pastries and a lunch menu. I'll definitely go back for coffee and give lunch a try.Support local businesses!”
“They have some really good ice cream and offer a wide variety of food Items. If you have been to or are from Mexico then you will definitely enjoy this shop. Everything they offer are classic Mexico treats/snacks/deserts and all are great to consume. The staff are very friendly and the person who takes your request is the same person who prepares it and rings you up at the end of the counter. I have never been in there when there wasn't a line, sometimes on out the door; no one complains as all know it is worth the wait. When ever I am in the area I make it a habit to stop in and have a milkshake, sometimes driving 10 miles from where I had dinner. Definitely worth a stop if you are ever going by the area.”
“Hands down my favorite breakfast place in the area. Heather, our waitress was amazing. Great attitude and absolutely Beautiful. I would return daily just to have her as my waitress, thank her for me please!”
“Food is good as we all know, Service is pretty outstanding. The only thing I didn't like was that the boots were pretty tight. I'm not that big and I had a hard time fitting in.”
“Food and service were great. It's a little thin as far as atmosphere but we usually carry out. This time we ate there and realized it's very bright and the booths aren't very comfortable - Seats are too low or tables too high. Certainly nothing that would keep us from going back. Could use more "Mexican" décor and better lighting. Highly recommend the food though!”
“CJ's Pub is the place to be in South Bend! Not only do they cook up the best burger in town, they have an electric bar scene on the weekends. The staff is always welcoming and the vibe is very familial. If you are ever in South Bend, looking for some great food and a great time, you should definitely stop by CJ's.”
“Love this pizza place! It's got that great mom and pop shop feel with great hot food. I haven't been disappointed and I don't expect I will. Great food and great people! Can't ask for more!”
“We had the traditional bar food off the menu which was traditional bar food taste. I forgot to try the jalapeño ketchup. This is a really fun location as it has a lot of the fire dept history. The service was great, our waitress was super sweet.”
“Best Tavern experiences are always at your neighborhood Pub!! This one is special for some of the finest bartenders on that side of the city....a definite must stop!!”
“Local bar, good service. Lots of regulars. Selection of food smaller then other local bars but good. Nothing new or updated about this place but that's not a bad thing. Very casual atmosphere. Several TVs for watching sports. Plenty of seats at the bar, and several tables. No one under 21 allowed. Full bar.”
“This is Our favorite taco place always full of Meat and all the other toppings to boot! The ladies that work there are sweet and welcoming if you want one of the best Tacos in So Bend go there! Don't slip on Taco Tuesday when their on sell! We always spend good weather dining in or take out! Because my husband think he needs 6 to 7 tacos!Parking: Kind of small but still not a issue for us we always have a place to parkKid-friendliness: Always see little ones in there, they like Tacos too”
“This is excellent option for dessert after dining at any of the nearby eateries. Options are limited due to the size of the business, but they are no less satisfying. Outside seating is available, and it's shaded.”
“It's definitely a place to go on a date or if you're meeting with someone.There is a lot to be said in terms of its decor of modern design with subtle touches that make the place very appealing.As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by their bright staff. Their seats are a big combo of booth/chairs.Their menu is on the pricey end, but so worth it. Not just because of the place but the food on its own packs a lot of flavors!My husband and I ordered and split their BAART & the Monte Cristo and tried both their kettle chips and upgraded to their home fries!The home fries are definitely worth the extra buck!They also offer an adult selection of beverages that we tried and LOVED!Their Mimosa & their Irish Coffee are definitely on point for $11 each.Our server was energetic and very good nice as well. He told us the story of the process their home fries go through, and honestly, I was impressed.Our total came out to be over $60.00 for 2 people, and yes, we have spent way less, but we have also spent way more. Honestly, this place was worth every penny, and we hope to be back.”
“We have been to the Cellar a few times and have been very satisfied. I recently attended a Sunday brunch event which exceeded my expectations. The presentation, atmosphere and environment that day was electric. The owners are a delight and I would highly recommend trying it out.”

Rohr’s
“We made reservations for a dinner on the day of our visit and were lucky to get a good table. I recommend making reservations in advance to avoid being seated in the Bistro. Also, be prepared to utilize the bookstore parking lot if registered as a guest of the Morris Inn because the lot next to the Inn requires an electronic pass. I am unsure whether parking can be arranged during reservation. Regarding our interior experience, dinner was easily a 5-star event. We were placed in the care of a kind and sophisticated waitor and generally pleased by the overall conditions of the restaurant. Procession through the University toward the Morris Inn was magnificent. We shall certainly return here soon. I recommend the duck with a Manhattan and Death by Chocolate for dessert.”
“Excellent experience. Place was packed, and staff worked their butts off to make sure we were taken care of. Good food, reasonable prices, and the live music was awesome!”

“Returned today because of the great food, will return forever because of the great service! Came back to the restaurant today because I just HAD to have another cookie (now my 4th since yesterday, lol) and was pleasantly surprised when Michael not only remembered me from yesterday but greeted me by name! This place is a gem.”
“Excellent food and service! The smoked wings are delicious and we had the lemongrass chicken sandwich which is amazing. Love the spicy ketchup for the handcut shoestring fries. Great beer selections.”
“First time here. We were sitted immediately by a very friendly staff. The service and food were wonderful. The staff is great! Very friendly, smiling, and always checking to see if you need anything. We will definitely be coming back! Thank you so much for a wonderful date night experience.”

Cre-Asian
“The absolute best Asian food in South Bend. Every time we order our food is always delicious, hot, and fresh. The staff is friendly and welcoming. If you haven't given this restaurant a shot you're missing out!Vegetarian options: As a person who does not eat meat the option of tofu or just vegetables is an attractive aspect to ordering from this restaurant.”
“Wow! The food here is amazing. Husband and I have tried a bunch of things over the months and everything has been fantastic. The Burrito Bandera has become my goto because it's just SO good. When their beans are done with some heat, best refried beans ever.”
“The camaraderie is fantastic! Everyone enters as a customer and leaves as a friend. Impromptu food is a weekly occurrence and is always free!! Stop by and see for yourself!!”

“We had a very good breakfast. The omelet was overcooked and why I didn't give a higher rating. However, the tacos were amazing, as I stole a bite ?. The service was very friendly and the drinks were great. We will be back upon traveling to the area again.”
“This place is ultimate nostalgia made present and real. My dad raised me on their pizza as a child. I remember waiting with him in the restaurant for our name to be called. It got so bad that I would beg him for it almost every other day! The interior is the same as when I was young. The pizza is just as amazing now as it was then too! Luigi's will never hear a bad word about them through my mouth. I'll continue to support this local business as long as I possibly can. Thank you to the all the people who work there now, and who've worked in the past. Thank you for bringing a part of my childhood into my adulthood.”
“This place is a flavor of explosion of good food and our waitress was funny and nice and very good at taking care of her people. I wish i could remember her name. Waitresses like this is becoming rare these days...Every one was polite and nice from the time we walked in the door to the time we walked out..We will definitely remember this restaurant..Thank you for the wonderful experience...”
“Was visiting my daughter out in college at ND and she couldn't wait to take us here. Food was amazing and authentic. My husband lived in Liberia for a season and we have many friends from Africa, one who joined us for this meal.We all enjoyed immensely the various dishes we chose. I enjoyed the oxtail and nsima. The other members of our party enjoyed the jerk and various other things on the menu.My apologies for the picture. I wasn't planning on doing a review. The photo was cut from a selfie we took. The empty plates proof that we enjoyed our food immensely.My only regret is I couldn't figure out how to get one of those cute little grubhub robots to get an order back to Denver for me.I highly recommend this place, whether you are from Africa, enjoy African fare, or are simply needing the challenge to try something exciting, yummy and new!”
“Great smash burgers!!! We were traveling the turnpike to Ohio. Stopped for a meal. The service was timely and responsive. The wings were good and the smash burgers were delicious!”
“This place is all about ambiance and great beer with fabulous service and pretty good food. The location is the stunning Studebaker mansion. Plenty of free parking and nice views from the dining room. I was intrigued after having some of their draft beer at a different eatery. I went for the Sunday brunch and had the crab cake Benedict (tasty but everything on the plate is soft, kind of a dull texture after a while) and chocolate flourless cake which was subpar. I would definitely come back for the location, tasty beer, and incredibly friendly and helpful service. But I would likely order something different.”

Fatbird
“Fatbird is SUCH a great restaurant! Weve gone here the last few years for my husbands birthday and we are NEVER disappointed! The food is reasonably priced and absolutely DELICIOUS! The pimento cheese appetizer is our favorite and is incredible. The jambalaya is to die for. The burger and chicken sandwiches are delicious. The Mac and cheese is addicting. All of the food here is outstanding and the staff is super friendly, kind, helpful, and attentive. I absolutely recommend trying Fatbird. You wont regret it!Dietary restrictions: Plenty of road side parkingWheelchair accessibility: Definitely wheelchair accessible.”

La Esperanza
“Not my absolutely favorite Mexican restaurant, but very good and very fast! Was one of my go-to lunches or dinners while I worked at Skynet! Try their green salsa for a little extra punch!”
“When got there around 11:30am on Sunday waited 5-10min for someone to come out to take our order. Once ordered it went by quick to get our food. $15 for a polish dinner is hit or miss on how much they give you in to go order. Before had enough for 3 days and this past time had enough for that one meal. It was good as always and always taste the same(never bad). Each day of the week they have a special they do so check there facebook page to see what day they have what on special. They have the polish dinner every day.”
“Among the best in South Bend. The food is as good as you can ask for as far as authentic Mexican food in our area. Nothing but great things to say about the food.Servers don’t seem to check back on you very often, but they’re friendly enough that it doesn’t ruin your visit.Highly, highly recommend to anyone who loves Mexican food.Parking: Parking lot is located across the street”

Innjoy Cafe
“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.”
“If you need a big greasy burger and an ice cold beer, this is the place for you! It's also a great place to beat your friends at pool! Pretty unique inside as well, lots of old and odd items hung on the wall!”

Nom Nom Pho
“the grilled pork banh mi was excellent with pickled daikon and carrot providing a refreshing crunch . they even managed to source a decent bun which is hard to do in Indiana. we were surprised that we didn't like the pork belly banh mi as much. it seemed heavier and not as refreshing. good but not what we're looking for in a banh mi.”
“Haven't had a Chance to hit up their Restaurant, but had a chance to have their Tacos and fixins from their Food Trailer! Chicken was on point, fully loaded, not skimped on fillings. Edgar is excellent.”
“By far some of the best chicken wings I've had in a while. I like the chicken wing whole but I've had it split from there and both were spot on. Call ahead, and then come through and pick it up. Well worth it!Kid-friendliness: My son was with me waiting for food with me and he loved talking to him. Gave him a little sampler from the slushy machine too. Super friendly people.”

Bistro 933
“First roadtrip of 2024 - destination: Bellaire, MI. Because of winter advisory, we decided to stop in South Bend, IN, overnight. Dining tonight at Bitro933 - a restaurant in Hilton Hotel. We highly recommend this place that is privately owned by a husband an wife team who have total control over their menu. Chadd is an excellent asset to this creative team - he is personable and makes you feel like you've been friends forever. They have really good food! The onion soup - phenomenal, the pepito steak sandwich - tender and flavorful (and big enough to share), and his dessert drink was a wonderful ending to a great meal as was the brown butter cake. This was such a fun adventure!”
“Ciao's restaurant serves gorgeous, genuine Italian food. This is not a bottomless bowl of spaghetti and meatballs. This is thoughtful, genuine Italian food. Every bite makes you use every taste bud. This is not anything like Olive Garden or even our other local Italian restaurants. This takes Italian food to another level. We had braised beef ravioli, shrimp bisque,, swordfish with lemon couscous....”
“My experience with the above and beyond service at Woochi started with prompt and professional service for my girlfriends recent birthday party! the 15 of us including me sat down on a Tuesday and were greeted with a fully prepped and ready table, attentive waitstaff and a drink order was in and delivered promptly. Two absolutely delicious sushi boats ( one sashimi and one sushi) quickly followed and everything was off to an amazing start! The restaurants choice in music, lighting, and general feel perfectly matches the refreshing take on a traditional hibachi and sushi restaurant! After an accidental water tip over by one of the guests at my table the staff responded quickly replacing the silverware and napkins, along with drying ( and even going as far as to mop and sweep the entire affected area!) within moments of the accident. This level of service and responsiveness was maintained throughout the dinner and sets an extremely impressive standard for anywhere else! After an absolutely perfect dinner a beautiful cake with a very neat and creative spinning rose centerpiece ended our perfect night and tied everything together perfectly! A few hours later after everyone has returned home we realized one of the birthday cards ( containing a gift) was left on the table by mistake, so I called the restaurant which was understandably closed since it was already past midnight. The next day I received a prompt response from the manager Rob who after I explained the situation. Offered without any type of prompting or request, to go through the dumpster and look for the missing gift! A few minutes later I received a second phone call from Rob informing me that the owner himself had heard our conversation and elected to personally do the deed and had in fact located the gift and would hold onto it until we could come pick itUp!! This level of service, from the gentlemen who helped clean up the spilled water, to the amazing hostess and waitstaff who handled every request we could’ve had. All the way up to the manager and even owner offering and going through a restaurants trash on behalf of a phone call! Shows beyond a shadow of a doubt the highest level of experience I have ever encountered and deserves to be recognized as such! Thank you so much to everyone at Wooshi and I’m excited to visit again!!!”
“My wife was craving italian and that is how we found this place. So happy we did! The waitresses were so polite, personable and professional.The food was amazing. They brought fresh breadsticks to the table. Made From Scratch! The marinara they paired with it was also some of the best I've had in a very long time.We will definitely be coming back multiple times! Love supporting locally owned businesses. Seeing the owner in the kitchen working alongside their staff is always awesome as well.”
“I recently visited The Volcano Restaurant and had a fantastic experience. The friendly and welcoming service staff made me feel right at home. Upon arrival, I was pleasantly surprised to find that my cousin's pre-ordered pizzas were already waiting for us. It was a great start to the meal.As we sat down, we ordered some appetizers and sides, and they arrived at our table in no time. The quick service was impressive, and the food surpassed my expectations. Every dish we tried was delicious and packed with flavor. The chefs at The Volcano Restaurant truly know how to create a memorable dining experience.The restaurant itself had a pleasant ambiance, with a cozy and inviting interior. It was a comfortable and enjoyable setting to share a meal with family. The Volcano Restaurant definitely exceeded my expectations in terms of both service and food quality.Overall, my visit to The Volcano Restaurant was a delightful experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for friendly service, delicious food, and a pleasant dining atmosphere. I will definitely be returning in the future.”
“I MUST SAY, I REALLY ENJOYED THE PIZZA HERE. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A GOOD PIZZA PLACE IN THE AREA WHEN I COME TO TOWN FROM CHICAGO AND IF YOU FIND YOURSELF IN THE SAME SITUATION, LOOK NO FURTHER. I TRIED THEIR THIN CRUST AS WELL AS THE PAN PIZZA AND BOTH WERE DELICIOUS. I PREFER THE PAN PIZZA OVER THE THIN (A MUCH THICKER DOUGH THAT'S AIRY, FLAVORFUL, AND MANAGES TO HAVE A CRISPY EXTERIOR WHILE BEING SOFT AND CHEWY IN THE MIDDLE) I NEEDED A BIT MORE SAUCE TO BALANCE OUT THE BREAD AND THEY EXECUTED IT WELL. I HAD A GREAT SERVER THAT WAS ATTENTIVE AND VERY INFORMATIVE WHEN IT CAME TO THE DIFFERENT PIZZA STYLES THEY OFFER. THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING US WITH GREAT FOOD AND A GOOD CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE. SEE YOU NEXT TIME!”

Pizza King
“This is obviously a family owned pizza place. The people are very friendly and it's geared towards serving people of the local community. They go the extra distance that you just don't see in corporate franchises.The pizza is really good with plenty of sauce and a crispy crust, which is exactly the way I like my pizza.The staff is very friendly and have a "your hometown pizza place" vibe and energy.I definitely recommend it to everyone!☺️”

“A beautiful place to go enjoy your best day!!! I saw more smiles in my 3 hours while enjoying drag brunch than I see in a week! The happiness here is contagious! About environment!!! Feel the love here !Kid-friendliness: Any age will enjoy this environment and feel a sense of belonging!”
“Great food for a great price. The people there are very friendly and the service is quick. Highly recommend this place. You can call ahead and place your order and be in and out in no time.”
“The blue gill dinner was delicious. The coating on the fish was light and seasoned well. The pizza was one of the best I've eaten with fresh mozzarella and the Caesar salad was a meal in itself.”
“Mancino’s Italian Eatery has the best grinders!!!! This mancino’s has a nice large seating area and the bathrooms are clean. There used to be a mancino’s on the south side of town in the Martin’s plaza there on Ireland but it closed a few years ago - we were so disappointed! My husband’s favorite grinder is the turkey and mine is the vege!”
“My husband had the Viking Farms Lamb Burger and I had the Bourbon Burger. We split them both in half and shared. Both were equally outstanding! But if I had to choose... I would definitely go for the Viking Farm's Lamb Burger! Also, the onion rings were crunchy and mouthwatering! Sam, our server was excellent! The location was easy to find, and it has a very modern industrial. Look to it!”
“The food is outstanding and the staff are so friendly. When I loved the house made kimchi the chef came up to talk to us and brought us samples of the house made pickles. Save room for dessert and order the suggested alcohol pairing...the skill of the sommelier is nothing short of magical.”

El Arriero
“Been several times and it's always amazing. They cook at lightning speed and it's one of the best if not the best Mexican in the area. I enjoy this place each ”
“This has been our favorite spot in South Bend since 2005 - prices are so reasonable and the food is fantastic. We've had graduation dinner, family parties and take out. All incredible.”
“Ordered the Buffalo wings , house salad and a macademia nut cookie.($26).. All was good, the wings are on the greasy / fatty side but I still ate them... Over all, I would recommend if the Buffet is closed and you don't feel like driving to go eat elsewhere.”
“The food was very delicious, they had the music at an adequate volume to chat, the waiting time was adequate, they need more staff to serve, but in general the place and the food are highly ”
“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.”
“I went here for february 14 th with my wife. I had such a good time. I ate steak and a mule to drink. Great food, great service. Thanks guys. I posted this 2 minutes after leaving keep up the good work.”
“Service was good. However, 2 people in our party ordered vegetarian dishes and both of them found a piece of meat mixed in. Not a good thing if you are a vegetarian. Only offered to replace one of the orders. We were already half way through the meal so declined. It would have been nice if the bill would have adjusted.”

Wild Crab
“We come here, often, and the food is always top notch! The owner is also very friendly and cool to chat with. We eat the boil with fire wild crab special sauce, lobster bisque, cajun ff, poboys, crab cakes, wings, seafood spaghetti....Haven't been disappointed! And the drinks are good. Oh and to the person complaining about the boil being left in bag, in my opinion it keeps the food hot! Every other way it's been served to us leaves the food to cool off way too fast. Sorry about the morons who pepper spray and throw crayons!”
“Frankies has been my go to since the 90's! That sauce! If you want to have finger licking, DAMN good bbq.... you need to come here! Not anything like it within a 50 mile radius!!”

Linden Grill
“The food is very good. The chicken and fish are seasoned nicely and crispy. Fries and oakra were cooked perfectly and not greasy. Would highly recommend giving them a try. We will definitely be ordering from them again.”
“It was super neatly decorated. I was sat relatively quick. There is poor service here, but that isn't an issue! I also wish some more options came with rice.”
“Our favorite place for sushi in South Bend! Service was quick and helpful with drink and portion recommendations. The vibe is fun-busy but not loud. Price point is fair for what you get and the good quality.”
“We were looking for a close place to grab lunch, found this on Yelp as the closest. Pulled in and debated weather to go in or try the next place (definitely a dive bar). Glad we decided to go in. Best burger and fresh cut fries I've had in years, help was friendly and attentive. Would have been 5 stars instead of 4 but it was a smoke friendly establishment so took off for that.”
“Excellent and friendly service, good atmosphere feels like home. Got the 16oz sirloin dinner with a baked potato and salad. The crutons for the salad are made in house and were SO GOOD. My only complaint is that the steak is underseasoned and lacking on flavor potential but otherwise was alright.”
“Atmosphere is Elegant pulls you into the nostalgia of what once was. The architecture is phenomenal here is your looking for a Castle Victorian Era vibe. The service was good however the waiter grabbed my plate for small appetizers plate' and pushed it over and place an a salad plate in front of me and said, "Here's the Proper plate." Dafaq? the small appetizers plate goes for the appetizers yoo. My Date and I looked at each like what just happened and laughed. Food was really good however the green beans were undercooked. Everything else was wonderful tbh. Definitely would love to come back for a lunch. Filet mignon with asparagus crab and hollandaise was Flame!?”
“The oxtails in gravy with red beans and rice, candied yams, and cabbage was delicious! The service and atmosphere was great. I recommend this place after 6pm for live entertainment with a good Jamaican meal.Vegetarian options: There are optionsWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair friendly”
“Good food and atmosphere staff needs a little grooming. But other than that, you gotta check this place out. I got the Reuben and French onion soup. Wow, yummy. Oh, and we all split the French fries and scotch eggs. The food was fresh and hot allow time to cool. ?”
“This restaurant is located in South Bend Airport after you go through security. Staff was overall friendly however they all appear to be stressful (no smile whatsoever). I ordered spicy veggie burger. Food quality was good. Service was ok too. There is only one restaurant in the airport so no other choices for food. Pricing was reasonable. Seating area was clean. If I spot smile next time, I will change it to five star ?”

“What a great job from the employees here at their Mishawaka loc.Superbowl Gameday 2024 and these guys buried in orders sweeping hot delicious wings out the door!Excellent work team!”
“My husband & I hadn’t been here in years. We live in Fort Wayne. We wanted to celebrate my husband’s birthday with my brother & sister-in-law and decided to celebrate here. Dinner & Drinks were fabulous! Brendan our server knew the menu well, made great recommendations! Dinner music was spot on! We can’t wait to come back in a month or so.”
“Loved that we were served quickly by Jazz.Parking: The Walmart nextdoor closed so there's ample parking if their lot fills up.Kid-friendliness: Crayons provided.”
“I have never had a bad experience here! I only order the South Bend Roll or New York Roll, and usually it does take a bit long to get my order but the quality is worth the wait. The portion sizes are also the largest in the area, and for the same price as several other sushi restaurants nearby. I also love that they have a drive thru!”
“It's been years since I had this pizza, the reviews worried me, but I'm glad I ignored them. It exceeded the expectations of my memory. Have to make sure the amount of time in-between visits is not years this time.”

J J Fish
“I'm a fan of every J & J I've visited. They have a favorite of mine my entire life. Smelt. Also picked up whole wings and catfish filets for later. Im a truck driver. So I grab a few orders for days ahead. The smelt didn't make it out of Mishawaka, however. Ate them while driving. Perfectly cooked, in my opinion, as usually the case with all orders I've picked up. Small place. But most people tend to call ahead or order to go.”
“The food was so yummy and hot! I'm so glad their pies are back to what they used to be, so good and not mostly whipped cream and little pie as they have been for some time!Kid-friendliness: I know my grandkids are always treated good and a decent kids menu”
“Lots of criticism about this hotel. But you are going to miss how things were pretty soon. Hotels aren’t built with atriums anymore, you have to wait for your food like you did when you were a kid at a restaurant with your parents. The rooms are how you remembered them as a kid, very cozy, dim, and wood with soft beds. New hotels are super modern and sleek with is great, but staying here made miss it. Huge hotel, friendly staff. Aging in a good way, the only thing to update are the showers in the bathrooms. I wouldn’t change anything else. Thanks.”
“Hacienda has always been a place to go for food. They have amazing food and great appetizers. Do not forget the margarita when you are there. You and your family will not be disappointed when you go. Have an amazing time while you eat. Side not you can just eat chips and salsa and drink water and they will not get upset. Relax, chill, enjoy!!!”
“The filet was cooked to just the right temperature and the pannini was delicious! The garlic potatoes looked grainy and unappetizing. Maybe just regular mashed would hit the spot. Our server, Teresa, was very attentive and accommodating.”
“The bartenders Keke and Sofi excelled at cocktail making and providing fast and excellent service. I loved the mug club and can’t wait to come back for more of the great specials! Karaoke was a blast and server Kasey killed it with vocals and I was so impressed. I love that twisted tea is back on tap and the daytime bartender Emily is full of wit and laughs. Come get a drink and food. Be patient be kind. Welcome to the best place ever.”

“Everyone was enjoying them selves, no load outburst. The different groups of people were having a good time laughing and carrying on. The way it should be !!!!!!!!!!”
“The bucket is great! The new owners have done great things to the place. The most amazing part is the outside setting when the weather is nice! You can sit next to the river and you don't even feel like you are in south bend!The food is always filling and they have a great selection of smash burgers. Their sweet potato fries are awesome.Their menu is a little on the higher side ($15-25) for an entree so you will probably be spending around $20-25 a person if you get a drink.The service is fast and the servers are great! The atmosphere is good for kids, however I don't know if they have a separate kids menu. Great place! Check it out!”
“Speedy and friendly service every single time. Whether drive thru or dine in. I'm telling you, the inside of this location is so clean you won't believe it. It's cleaner than my kitchen. The workers and owners take pride in this place! Love it!”
“This was my first experience in a gay club and it made me feel so welcomed. The bartender was super nice and all the drag performers were so fun to watch. Such a fun atmosphere and made me feel safe to be in a bar. I would definitely go again. Literally my only criticisms would be to have a shorter intermission for the drag show and to keep the soap in the bathrooms stocked.”
“By far some of the best chicken wings I've had in a while. I like the chicken wing whole but I've had it split from there and both were spot on. Call ahead, and then come through and pick it up. Well worth it!Kid-friendliness: My son was with me waiting for food with me and he loved talking to him. Gave him a little sampler from the slushy machine too. Super friendly people.”
“I have been a fan of Hardee's Carl's Jr for a long time. The burgers are Angus Beef and are very good. The fries are very good when they are fresh. Clean store and friendly people.”
“Food and service were great. It's a little thin as far as atmosphere but we usually carry out. This time we ate there and realized it's very bright and the booths aren't very comfortable - Seats are too low or tables too high. Certainly nothing that would keep us from going back. Could use more "Mexican" décor and better lighting. Highly recommend the food though!”
“Good food made fresh, restaurant got off to a rocky start but solid now. Their new crispy chicken sandwich has flavorful breading and juicy tender chicken inside, sandwich was obviously made fresh to order. Personally I’ve always had great service and food here. Definitely give this place a try when you’re in the area.”
“Celebrated two birthdays with friends, great food and great service. It was a quiet evening so staff was very attentive and even gave us Birthday cards signed by the staff. The bacon and Brussels appetizer was delicious as were the shrimp burger and curry burger. Prices are a tad high-end but we will definitely come back.”
“I got the j*** chicken with rice cornbread and greens. It was delicious ?! It was hard to find but you have to go back of the building to and go through the black doors to place the order.”
“What a great new find!The buffet was super nice. There were so many great choices. Peel n eat Shrimp, salads, General Tso's Chicken, great rice dishes, fried Shrimp, Lo Mein and many more! The place is spotless and the service is wonderful.”
