“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!!“

“We visited Carlson's and it was great. We fed four adults and 1 child for $43. The root beer was refreshing, the tenderloins were hot and crispy, the BBQ pork was flavorful, and the Chicago Dogs were good but slightly bland. Service was great and the food came quickly. Definitely recommend“

“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!“

“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 :)“

“Great place! Owner is wonderful!“

“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.“

“I go here once in a while when I want a good ribeye steak and they always do it right. The baked sweet potato is my go to side and I always love the fried mushrooms for starter. If you ever get a chance to try the blueberry bread pudding for desert go for it it's phenomenal!“

“I just stopped for a little “breakfast-y” thing this morning (6/19/24) and got a bacon quiche….OMG….the absolute BEST quiche I’ve ever had! Great service, nice people!“

“Had a great experience at Leeds, the food was amazing, the staff were very friendly and efficient. The atmosphere here is awesome ill definitively be back try everything on the menu. They have a beautiful outdoor patio as well im sure it looks amazing at night. I had the Turkey Panini with Provolone, bacon, orange marmalade, onion and Arugala, best panini ive ever had, this is a restaurant where its so relaxing you dont want to leave and the music was at a perfect level and good selection ?“

“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!!“

“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“

“Not only is Memo's a great restaurant to unwind and have a delicious meal, it's a great place to work. I came into Memo's about a month ago and I am treated very well. The Memo's family is very welcoming to their guest and their employees. I'm very happy I am able to be a part of the Memo's team. I appreciate the portions I serve to our guest. we have food for everyone's taste buds; from breakfast, to light lunches, to filling dinners full of varties. We always have our all you can eat salad and soup bar, or you can get a one time trip to the salad bar with you meal. The choices are endless and our customers always leave happy.“

“delicious and fresh np.complaints ! 😋 we had a lobster roll and a bloody marry“

“1st time here. Food was basic but decent. I had the perch, which was heavily breaded kinda like fried chicken. I prefer my perch pan fried, not heavily breaded. It came with fries and coleslaw, the coleslaw was good. My husband got the pork chop and said it was good, a little dry, but not bad. It came with green beans and mashed potatoes. The best thing I had was the lemon cake, it reminded me of a zinger and I was very pleased with it. Our server was great. She was kind, helpful with the menu, and overall attentive.“

“I want to give a shout out to Alicia S. At this location. 8:30 on a Friday night I pulled through after driving 12 hours. Just wanted a hot meal before I checked into a hotel to crash. Food took a good 20 min. Opened it up at the hotel and while the order on the receipt was correct the food was Not! A completely different meal in which 1/2 I couldn’t eat. I called and spoke with Alicia, she did her best to give me a solution and I was so tired I didn’t want to leave the hotel and I hung up. She called me back 5 min later and offered certificates for a meal and a shake for any location and even offered to meet me at 7am as I was leaving early to drive all day again. She was there as promised and apologized again. I also apologized for hanging up on her 😉 She went above and beyond and I feel should be recognized for it. Way to go Alicia! Thank you! 👏🏻🤗“

“We ordered Wana tonight for the first time in years. It was so good. The toppings were plentiful. We had it delivered and it was hot when it arrived. Will definitely be ordering again soon!“

“The cheese chili hot dog was very good staff was friendly. Best place to stop“

“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.“

“Awesome place that looks like a fishingboat. The food was good and plenty. They are also playing cool music and you can see the lighthouse and the drawbridge from the " deck " . Highly recommend it if you are looking for a unique experience in Michigan City.“
