“Always appreciate being acknowledged as soon as you walk in the door. Cookies are always on point. ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE and wish you could run that again. ?”

“Best restaurant in Michiana! If you are okay with spending a little bit more for a special occasion, the tasting menu is a great price for what you get and is an overall amazing experience. Incredible food, staff, and atmosphere!!!”

“The food was great and fresh. The service was professional and pleasant. The only thing I would change is the volume level of the music playing inside the store. It made it a little difficult to hear one another speak and communicate the order to the cashier.”

“my new favorite pizza spot🤤🍕 can't wait to try other stuff they have”

“LOUD but a great spot on the Notre Dame campus. Great menu, beer, and wine list”

“Despite my unwillingness to admit that anything good can come from Indiana (hah!), I did in fact really enjoy my experience here! The food was good and the atmosphere was fantastic. It felt like stepping into a traditional Irish pub —something I've never experienced so authentically anywhere outside of Ireland. Loved the shared tables (an opportunity to make friends), and the live band (the music was great).”

“Great & creative cocktails. Gorgeous ambiance. This bar is a hidden gem. I love the atmosphere and relaxed vibes. 5 stars!”

“We stopped at Allie’s one Saturday morning for breakfast and were hooked!! Everyone there is extremely friendly, we now go every Saturday! It feels like home!!!! If you haven’t been there please go you won’t be disappointed or leave hungry!!”

“Nice spot to go to, definitely clutch late nite”

“Had a really great time at Texas Roadhouse with my family today. Our server Elizabeth A took amazing care of us and it really helped the whole family have a good experience.”

“The cream of mushroom soup is good. The pretzel is very tasty to One recommendation remove that chili off of your menu it’s disgusting and taste like something that comes out of a can. No flavor no seasonings We didn’t even eat it and told the waitress but she just said ok”

“I would recommend Ironhand for some events but I don’t think they plan for some things. We went to their brunch and bingo this morning which was nice. The food was good and we always love the atmosphere. I was really looking forward to trying the flight of mimosas. It started at 10, we arrived at 10:15 and by 10:25 they told us they were out of flights. There were still at least 5 tables and more bar seats open. Then 20 minutes later we saw people getting mimosa flights. I ended up ordering the mimosa bar which was too much champagne for me and they gave a very small carafe of orange juice. (Barely enough for 2-3 drinks) If you are having a brunch you should plan accordingly. I will be back but I hope things like this get figured out.”

“I would highly recommend Woochi to anyone! My wife and I have been going here for years and are treated like royalty everytime we walk in the door. Ross and the rest of the staff are friendly, attentive, and truly amazing! The food is by far the best in the South Bend/Mishawaka area (especially if you enjoy Asian cuisine) and the atmosphere is tremendous for a nice evening out. I would give Woochi a 10 star rating if I could!”

“Good food and service, good price”

“My family traveled from Chicago to South Bend this weekend to pick up our service dog for my 5 year-old Autistic son. While the experience was amazing, my son struggled a bit with the trip, as he is very much a person of habit! He woke up Sunday morning asking for a cheeseburger. We scrambled to figure out where we could possibly get a cheeseburger at 8am, and we were excited to see a Burger King near our hotel. We packed up 4 kids and a service dog and headed over. We were quickly and kindly informed that lunch was not served until 11. I told the cashier I had an autistic kiddo in desperate need of a cheeseburger, and asked if she knew anywhere in the area I could get one. Another employee heard my situation and with no hesitation, swooped in said she will make him a cheeseburger. This woman went completely out of her way to help my son. She had a burger cooked and ready to go in minutes. She refused my money as I went to pay for it. When I thanked her profusely, she put her hand over her heart and told me so sincerely, “She understands”. Thank you to this wonderful woman for her kindness and compassion!”

“Stopped by the morning of 12/9/23 for a quick drive through breakfast and I have to say it was the most positive drive through experience I have ever had. I was 4 or 5 cars back in line and I don’t think I was in line for more than a couple minutes. Sandwich and coffee were great and the staff were extremely friendly, professional and efficient. This will undoubtedly be a Saturday morning staple for me on my way to work. Thank you and keep up the great work!”

“Everything is delicious! 😋 It’s hard to make a choice because everything I’ve tried is great!”

“Highly recommend! This is a wonderful establishment and the owner, Kim, is very informative and genuinely cares for the residents of the Cafe! And the fact that the kitties (except Head Supervisor Chipmunk) are available for adoption is just wonderful for giving these kitties a chance to have a loving forever home. My wife and I cannot wait to return!”

“If you're looking for amazing food and an authentic joint, this place is it. The catfish is crack!! absolutely addictive. The neighborhood might seem rough, but trust me, that's where you find the best flavors. The owners and staff are genuinely warm, welcoming, and thankful for your business. Plus, the portion sizes are unbeatable for the price. They rarely run out of ingredients, but if they do, it's only because everything's fresh and in high demand. Highly recommended every visit hits the spot!!”

“These folks at this location are friendly and food is on point. Every time I go in they know who I am.. take time to say Hi...and Order is always right..always hot 🔥.”

“i'm missing an arm and a leg and everyone treats me so good here. i love chef salads and they are kind enough to dice everything perfectly for me! not every restaurant will do this so i very much appreciate it! thank you”

“We had an amazing lunch. The food’s depth of flavors was fantastic and everything was wonderful. The eguzi was smoky and incredible. It was a fabulous and a must try if you haven’t been there yet! Save room for the mandazi and plantains!!”

“Great 3 meat and provolone panini! Hadn't eaten here for a while and wanted a quick sandwich for pickup and go. Great service. Will return soon!! My encounter was friendly and courteous.”

“3rd time here, consistently good. Clean, friendly and appetizing plating. Recommend this place who loves authentic Mexican food.”

“The cherry—or should we say cake—on top of our amazing wedding day! Courtney was an absolute joy to work with, and the cake was both stunning and delicious. Each tier—chocolate, lemon blueberry, and snickerdoodle—was a hit! The vintage piping design perfectly matched the Art Deco vision we had for our wedding at The Brick. Thank you so much! We’re already looking forward to ordering an anniversary cake.”

“Lovely vegan menu! However, the dessert was disappointing and waiter didn’t ask if we wanted dessert before checks. We had the “cake”. The little bit of buttercream and the cherries were phenomenal but the “cake” was like halva almost but not very flavorful and chalky. My non vegan friends were not set a good example of vegan desserts sadly. The others were very different, so a simple dessert on the menu would be nice. Soooo happy for the vegan menu though!!”

“Cloud walking cafe is a little gem in South Bend. Highly recommend!”

“Amazing staff and incredible food”

“Great beer, love the atmosphere!”

“The service was attentive and communicated kindly. Answered all of our questions with care. Food was very good and cooked well. Our table had skillets and burgers including coffee, O.J. and a soft drink. I was very pleased to find out they have flavored creamer for your coffee. Everyone was happy and full afterwards. The name of this dinner has some history to it. They are more than happy to share the story with you. Reminds me of the hidden gems my grandmother took me to as a little boy! Absolutely must visit.”

“So yummy! Very nice there are vegetarian options AND a vegan ramen. Many places have a veggie broth but have egg noddles, but here is a delicious vegan option! The tea was great too! Would be nice to have a key on the menu that denotes vegan options in general due to noodles, appetizers, etc. but otherwise great and will be back again!
