16 Best Burger Restaurants in Valparaiso

“Very great experience ! Very polite and kind waitress. Will definitely be back when I’m in the area again.“

“Have dined many times and had a great experience; tonight was truly outstanding. Pairing of Foie Gras with Venison Loin and mushroom sauce was lights out. It takes skill to make wild game delicious and this was spot on. Cocktails were also fantastic (as always). This is a hidden gem in town and in the Region.“

“Went today for lunch and was very impressed with the food. Signed up with the app and got a free appetizer. Manager came over and offered complimentary fries and a coupon for another free appetizer our next visit! Waitress took care of us well. Only problem we had was it stank in the restaurant…. lol
Stank like a bad dookie or a clogged drain in the back. Would’ve been 5 stars but it was a bit stinky.“

“Great burgers and cool bartenders like Carrie !“

“I live nearby this Culver’s and visit it frequently. I also walk around the neighborhood with my dog and pass in front of the store almost daily. When it snows they never shovel the sidewalk that runs parallel to LaPorte Avenue. This is annoying and dangerous. It’s a tiny strip of walk between two businesses to the east and 1st Source Bank to the west, all of which keep their sidewalks cleared of ice and snow. I suggest and hope that for the safety of pedestrians Culver’s management addresses this potentially serious issue. Thank you.“

“I really enjoyed eating here with my husband. Service with a friendly smile! That makes your meal time happy. The decor makes your stay comfortable. They have a wonderful variety of food drink options. The sandwiches are excellent and you get a huge amount of fries. I definitely recommend Five Guys.“

“Schoop’s Hamburgers leans fully into its 50’s-inspired diner vibe, and it works. The retro feel, bright colors, and constant hum of activity create a fun, bustling atmosphere that makes the place feel lively the moment you walk in. It’s the kind of spot where families, regulars, and burger-hunters all blend together naturally.

The burger itself had all the makings of something great: a generous patty, a good sear, and that classic diner-style build that promises nostalgia on a plate. The texture and freshness were there, and you can tell they know how to craft a solid burger. The only thing missing was the seasoning. With just a bit more flavor or a touch more salt and pepper, this could easily be an outstanding diner burger.

Still, Schoop’s nails the experience. If you’re in the mood for a lively throwback diner with character and charm, it’s worth stopping in — and with just a slight improvement in seasoning, their burgers could truly shine.“

“The service here is wonderful. greatly improved since the new owner tool over. everything is fresh and the staff is very friendly and efficient. Definitely the best DQ in Porter County!!“

“We stopped in. Mgr is so on top of things, keeping workers motivated. Had big drive thru order so he told us it would be a min. Talking to his crew, he is very good at being a manager.“

“I ordered my sons birthday cake from here. Didn’t even know Dairy Queen made sheet cakes! I was so impressed with the design you guys did for my sons cake! It was everything I thought it could be!!!!! ♥️ We had his party at sk8 world and it went perfect for his day!!!!“

“Great food! Great service!“

“A trip to Illinois/Indiana for the holidays wouldn't be complete without a trip to White Castle. The steam grilled oniony goodness is one of the things I really miss living in Texas. My crave clutch of 20 sliders was perfect at this location.“

“Best burgers on the spot no doubt.“

“Jada the front cashier today was so amazingly friendly and attentive to all her customers! The food was really good and fresh also, but what makes the restaurant is the smiling friendly faces! Great job Wendy's!“

“It was Date Night and we recieved an Applebee's card for Christmas so we decided to cash in. I decided to start with a Cocktail it was a Berry Merry Colada, ( a pina colada with strawberry swirl) and an order of Mozzarella Sticks....Soooo Good!!! For our entrees we decided on Steak. I decided to get the Shrimp 'N' Parmesan Sirloin (medium rare) with Mashed Potatoes and a Squash Medley with Summer Squash and Zucchini. Everything was delicious but unfortunately my boyfriends order did not come out as perfect as mine did. My boyfriend ordered an 8oz.Top Sirlion (medium rare) with double Mashed Potatoes and it came out Raw. The outside was cooked but the inside was not. We Hate to complain but it was literally inedible. So we let our waitress know and she apologized and took it off the bill immediately. We ended up ordering him an order of Boneless Wings ( Honey BBQ) and they were perfect. I know accidents happen so we are not terribly upset and our waitress was an Absolute Rockstar who was juggling a few tables all at once and getting everyone what they needed. She was Incredible and did Everything she could to make it right!! Thank you!! We Appreciate You!!“
