“Carlson's is a gem in our community! It has been an icon of summertime in Michigan City for decades. Rootbeer floats, chili cheese dogs, breaded mushrooms and bags of salted fries - all evoke memories for me as my favorites there among a big menu. Like of mid afternoon food on the way home from the beach as a teen or young adult, or an evening stop on mild night out for a drive as grandparents, the food at Carlson's is fun and just plain good! It's the kind of place you find yourself saying in March, is Carlson's open yet? And when they close down after the season, it's a bummer. So my advice is go to Carlson's frequently and go now to make those memories and enjoy awesome drive in food!“
“We stopped here 4 times over the summer and couldn't time it right - their pies sell out quick during tourist season! But on the 4th attempt, the gentleman offered us free ice-cream and asked us not to give up! We didn't give up - timed it right, bought six pies for a party - everyone raved!! So perfect, really nice guy and terrific pies!“
“BEST FRIES IVE EVER HAD! Everything was great! The chicken bacon ranch was amazing and burger was great too! Wonderful and friendly customer service.. and they have lemon rice soup which is the best I’ve had in the area hands down! Can’t wait to come back and try more, thank you!“
“I made a to go order. Waited about 6 minutes. When the young man called my # I went to get my food...he said "I made a mistake." I thought " uh oh!". He said, " I put in a large fries instead of small...here you go" ! I was delighted. Smiling, friendly service and great food. Thanks! 5 Guys gets a "10" from me!?“
