They even have brunch.. bummer that I'm not gonna be able to go there that day. But another trip will stop in for brunch. They have legit biscuits and gravy. Large and spacious, and great big bar. When driving up look for the parking lot to the left of the building. But if you drive by it just pull into the small driveway on the other side of the building to get back around to it. You can enter both sides. Check out my pictures for brunch.

We stopped into Shoreline Brewery while visiting Michigan City because it was unbearably hot…read moreoutside and we needed somewhere to cool off before we could check into our hotel. We ordered the Elote Pizza, and overall it was really good. It had a nice wood-fired crust that was probably the highlight of the meal. The only downside was that it came with a garlic aioli that was very heavy...there was so much on the pizza that it overpowered some of the other flavors. I think it would have been even better with a lighter hand. For drinks, I had one of their sour beers and my husband ordered an IPA. Both were good, but neither really stood out as anything particularly memorable. We sat at the bar, and the bartender was friendly and took good care of us. The layout of the brewery was a little unexpected. We walked into the main entrance, then the host brought us back outside and over to a separate building where the bar is located. It was a little confusing at first, but it ended up being a neat setup. The restaurant was clean, with a spacious dining room and a nice-looking patio. The only thing that kept this from being a higher rating was the value. It felt a little expensive for what we ordered, and while everything was solid, nothing really wowed us. Overall, I'm glad we stopped in, especially as a place to escape the heat for a while. If you're in the area and looking for a casual meal and a local beer, it's worth checking out...I just wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to visit again.

Shoreline Brewery & Restaurant is an easy go-to stop in Michigan City for locally made beer, a wide…read morevariety of food options, and a fun outdoor patio atmosphere. Our group started with the pierogi appetizer, and it was definitely the highlight of the meal. They were perfectly fried with a crispy exterior and topped with sour cream, bacon, and onions. Super flavorful and hit the spot! For dinner, I ordered the Chicken & Bacon Jam Sandwich with sweet potato fries. While the chicken itself was tender, the bacon jam was much sweeter than I expected and ended up overpowering the sandwich. I was hoping for more of a savory flavor. The bottom bun also soaked up quite a bit of oil, making it pretty soggy and messy to eat. The sweet potato fries weren't quite my style either because they were heavily coated in sugar and tasted more sweet than savory. Unfortunately, neither is something I'd order again, even though both sounded great on the menu. We visited during a busy Saturday dinner rush, so our food took a while to arrive, but our server was friendly, attentive, and acknowledged the delay, which I always appreciate and understand! We sat outside on the patio, which was a fun place to spend the evening. The only thing I noticed was that there wasn't any music playing outdoors like there was inside, and I think that would have added a little more energy to the space. Overall, I don't want to knock this place too much because I genuinely think it's a great spot for Michigan City. Between the local beer selection, large menu, welcoming atmosphere, and outdoor seating, it's definitely worth a visit! I'd happily come back and try some different menu items next time!

This was a decent game/wing place with great service and decent food…read more We had the garlic Parmesan wings (pretty darn crispy and tasty!) plus I had the Mushroom Swiss burger. With fries. The burger was cooked medium and was awesome. I think they are 10 ounces. It was massive but I ate it all. My companions had the Asian chicken salad with grilled chicken. The salad is mostly cabbage with some veggies. Tasty but large portion!! We also had the pork tenderloin sandwich. Also an excellent sandwich! Definitely get there early as they opened at 3pm and there was a line already 5 min before they opened.

The sirloin steak used to be great, but has gone downhill as they started buying cheaper meat and now it tastes... off. Their other food was still pretty good for pub fare, at least as of the time we last ate there. The bartenders were very good. Most of their servers were excellent too, but there was one server that served us often, who really gave us a bad experience almost every time we got stuck with her. The last time was over the top, and we just decided not to spend our money there anymore since she had been there for years and just seemed to get worse over time.

They were short staffed but kept up pretty good. They got our pizza order wrong so that was a bummer. The wrong one they gave us looked delicious. The pizza they finally served us, not so good. The cheese wasn't cooked. They were probably rushing to feed us. They did not have fresh mushrooms, just the can version. They also had their pineapple juice in the pop gun!!!! Who does that?!?! Very disappointing. They did buy us a drink for having to wait. For a place like that let's serve real pineapple juice and fresh mushrooms.

The room has a more lounge atmosphere than a bar. The tables and high tops were decorated with navy tablecloths. We brought our own flower arrangements for each table to add some color. The food was served buffet style at one end of the room with a dessert station at the end of the bar. We served prime rib, mashed potatoes, green beans, mostacciolli and a fresh salad with 3 choices of dressing. All VERY good. The meat was tender and flavorful and perfectly cooked. LOTS of positive comments from our guests. Would HIGHLY recommend Matey's Chart Room for your next family event or to stop by for a drink with friends. Very cozy room, love the vibe. Will definitely be back.

Bottom Line: Fun, waterside, marina atmosphere with decent food. Worth a stop…read more I picked this place out from my map function because it looked interesting, on the water, and near an historic, old railroad bridge (Trail Creek Swing Bridge). It is my first time here, and for a late afternoon linner. The place did not disappoint--for the most part. It is open air with a beachy, boaty, picnic tables-under-umbrellas vibe. It overlooks the water, a marina, and the name inspiring railroad swing bridge which makes for an interesting visual environment. Thankfully there is no attempt to force an out of place theme, sparing us from steel drum background music. Interestingly though, the only nod to the railroad structure inspired name was an old school railroad crossing sign at the entry otherwise everything else is boat marina feel. Our server was friendly and efficient. My hefty burger was thick and juicy. The coleslaw was fresh. The disappointment was the fries. They were more like shoestring fries and came dried out/overcooked. The sweet potatoes fries were a better bet. The lackluster fries were not enough though to lose a star. Overall the experience was a satisfying one and at a reasonable price. I would definitely come back especially as a very nice alternative to the other railroad name inspired brewery restaurant in town.

First, credit where it is due, our server was very nice and prompt. Awesome service. But what happened to the food????

We moved away years ago and I try to come back 1-2 times per years and this isn't the same. The fries were incredible as always. The deck was a nice place to sit.
