5 Best American Restaurants near South Bend

“We had lunch for the 1st time ever at Skylar's! New Year's Day on our way to Long Beach... The food and service was prenominal! I had the homemade clam chowder, and 5 grilled oysters, and my husband had the fish and chips! Excellent Service, Friendly atmosphere, and Superb Chowder for me! I would love the recipe... as that day we went to go dig razor clams.“

“Best oysters we have ever had! I had to share this place. This is def a mom and pop little restaurant. The food was DELICIOUS. We had the oysters, some salad and the kids had tacos and a milkshake. Everything tastes homemade. If you are looking for a fancy seafood place this isn’t your spot, it is a laid back, owner run place with everything tasting amazing. The oysters are the star of the show for sure but every single thing was very tasty. 😋“

“Service was attentive & friendly. Food was (relatively) fast (there was a large family there) and it was hot. Seating was reduced quite a bit but they were very clean. Was great to get back there since this time last year v on lockdown 1.0“

“Was driving past and saw this place and it called to me. We immediately turned around. An experience for sure. You have to go to know. Wishing I took pics but I’ll never forget. There were three ladies in the building (me thinks running the joint) but we had the entire place to ourselves. The prices were historical. At one point it felt like we were in a movie. I don’t want to scare anyone away by saying it felt like a scary movie but there were some serious vibes going on. I looked out the window mid bite to see a man at the other side of river staring in and as soon as he saw me he turned around and walked back up the hill. The ladies were up front wishing motorcycles would stop in to eat. We had a jump scare. The door was opening and I could see a shadow of a person and I jumped then the door shut. The floor is bouncy in some spots and dips toward the water. You get a feeling that you are in a social experiment and they can’t tell you where not to sit…

Like I said you have to be there to know. It was great! I loved every bit of it. If it’s still around next time I’m traveling through I’d stop again but I’m kinda feeling that this place didn’t really exist. Very haunting feeling!

Not every where you go should be normal. This place has stories!!!“

“A hidden gem in Raymond! The oyster shooters were an impressive size, the atmosphere was friendly and the bar tender was incredibly welcoming. A+ beer ? Bummed it was closed when we passed through Raymond this weekend, but hopefully it opens again soon!“
