23 Best American Restaurants in Michigan City

“Great place! Owner is wonderful!“

“This time I tried the mushroom Swiss burger. Cooked exactly like I requested and it tasted great!“

“This place never disappoints!! Great food, fabulous service, and the owner/manager, Pete, is wonderful!!“

“A well loved staple of Michigan City, and always worth the visit! Classic drive in with high quality ingredients at affordable prices for the whole family. Homemade root beer shouldn't be missed, and between the dogs, burgers, pork or chicken, there's American favorites for everyone. I got my polish sausage Chicago style, and it really hit the spot! The picture doesnt even do justice, and dont worry- they didn't forget my pickle and sport pepper!“

“Haven't been there in years. Decided to go there this evening for St. Patrick's Day. All I can say is that there was no room for disappointment. The food was great and their staff was great as well. Not one ounce of disappointment. I've heard of their great reviews and I have to agree with every one of them. We will certainly be going back. BTW, the atmosphere was great as well!“

“2nd time there and had the Jalepeno Popper burger (again) and the Ghetto fries. Burger was delicious and perfect in every way. Cooked to perfection. Fries were really good as well. Finally a place worth the money!“

“Excellent from start to finish. We had amazing food and award winning service. We stopped here after a morning at the beach and a walk around the lighthouse. What a gem. We had Caribbean shrimp and pineapple wrap, sweet potato fries potato salad and chicken tenders. Absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for an awesome experience and wonderful food. Love it!!! We will visit again“

“Food is very good and price is very fair. Service is very sub par. Waitresses run around like chickens with there head cutoff. I did a reorder on fish and after 45 minutes the waitress said she was sorry but somebody else took my order. Paid my check and left. Don’t know if I will ever come back.“

“Chose it on a whim and SO glad that we did! Food was amazing and the service was great too! Definitely recommend trying pa’s chips w/ cheese sauce! Will be coming back :)“

“Very, very good Reuben sandwich. Their carrot cake sings in your mouth!“

“go to memo's hungry! the portions are very generous! great food, service, and they leftovers are great the next morning!“

“Arturo was great! Our food was fantastic and the restaurant was very clean, bright and the staff all friendly. I had thick French toast with fresh strawberries and my husband had the quesadillas special. Wonderful restaurant!!“

“Truly AWESOME catfish! It was perfectly fried, nicely seasoned, moist, and the breading (crust?) was top notch. I must say that, for me, this is the best catfish I have had in Northwest Indiana. They are also serving a very good coleslaw. I don't easily find good coleslaw and this ranks way up on my list of sources. This was my first visit and will definitely return.“

“Delicious meals at a reasonable price. Service was friendly and efficient. We will definitely be back.“

“We needed a nice sit down place to have dinner on our way from Chicago to Grand Rapids Michigan. My wife picked Leeds. Great choice!! We had the Flo Cho nachos and the Cubano Panini. The nachos were terrific!! (The wife commented again how good they were on again on the way home!) The Cubano Panini was good. I'd order both again... especially the nachos!! 👍😁“

“We were there on a Tuesday evening and there was ample parking right outside, which was great. Service was attentive and friendly. The food was very good. The pricing seemed a little high for what it was. They were out of perch the night I was there, but they substituted walleye, which was very good. We were told the walleye was from Canada, which is a little disappointing when we were in view of Lake Michigan. The walleye and fries was $30, which was the same as the lobster roll (which they were also out of). Either one was overpriced, or one was underpriced. Maybe that's just where we are with restaurant pricing. The menu had a lot of great options though. Good variety. For 3 people, no alcohol, 1 appetizer (sweet potato fries) and 3 entrees after tip was ~$125.“

“we stumbled on this gem last summer for the first time and just went back for our 5th time yesterday and we live 3 1/2 hours away! the food is consistently amazing, everything we try we love. The staff is stellar 24/7 crem Bru le 👌 magnificent! fish camp is the highlight of every trip we come here to visit! if you like watermelon tey the watermelon margaritas! You won't be dissapointed!“

“Today was our first time eating here and will positively not be the last !! The food and the Service were both Phenomenal!! 10/10 For Sure“

“By far the best Italian beef in town*** The staff is always friendly and the riff raff is kept to a minimum. Overall it's a great place to munch and grab some beers. They have live bands on the weekends if you're looking for live entertainment. I highly recommend trying if you haven't.“

“Excellent, friendly service along with great food! We then locked our keys in the car. One employee provided a gadget that provided space to use another gadget. Another employee offered to help. A couple then offered their help. He was a fireman and was able to unlock the door! Thank you!!!“
