Cute place and amazing food. Staff is extremely friendly. Beautiful place inside and out and a great place to eat no matter what the weather. We had breakfast and lunch items that were very tasty and healthy. read more

Great service, all the staff was very pleasant! The food was great! I wish I would have known how GOOD the breakfast potatoes were before, I would have literally ordered an entire plate! Would recommend! read more

Food, environment, and wait staff were all great! We sat outside on the patio. I had the Wake n Bacon. It was delicious. We also shared a cinnamon roll and famous blueberry muffin. They were both good. The Cinnamon roll was more bready than I'm used to. I personally don't love blueberries, but this muffin was incredible. read more

This place was so cute, and had a beach vibe to it. All the staff were incredibly nice, we ended up going during a rush for lunch and had to wait an awfully long time. The food was great. They have a variety of items to pick from. The salad on the side of the sandwiches was lacking. It needs some better dressing on it. But overall I really enjoyed this place. read more

Dune Billies Beach Cafe isn't technically on the beach or beachview, but it still gives off those laid-back, coastal vibes in a totally eclectic and unique way. This place is off the beaten path -- and judging by how busy it was when we visited, word has gotten out. The cafe has limited seating, so be prepared to wait during peak times. But trust me, it's worth it. The service was excellent -- friendly, fast, and super accommodating. They actually made a mistake with part of our order, but quickly remade it without hesitation and let us keep the original, which was such a kind (and delicious) surprise. The food is on the pricier side, but you're paying for quality -- everything we had tasted super fresh and thoughtfully prepared. This is definitely the kind of spot where you can tell they take pride in what they're serving. You must try the pies! Don't leave without a slice or the whole thing! If you're looking for a charming little spot that's doing its own thing away from the crowds, Dune Billies is it. We'll absolutely be back! read more

I love their Harvest Chicken Salad. I've always ordered this whenever I've dined in or had take out. All the components that go with the chicken salad itself are all fresh and delicious (fresh fruits, greens, small piece of blueberry muffin, crackers). The service is always friendly. The place is mostly busy, especially for the outdoor area. I've tried the SOUTH SHORE BURRITO, SMOKED SALMON BAGEL, WAKE N BAGEL, CINNAMON ROLL, and the BLUEBERRY MUFFIN. They were all well-made and the ingredients used were all fresh. Their coffee is good too. I would like to try some of their pies and quiche for my next visit. 'Til next time! read more

We had a really good dining experience at this eatery on a Sunday morning. We pick this location because they allow pups on the patio. Upon arriving, we were able to find parking directly across the street from the venue. To our chagrin, there was a vendor out there selling dog friendly treats, so we were able to purchase some items for our pup to enjoy while we ate brunch. The staff at this location were really accommodating and friendly. They brought out the nicest bowl of cold ice water I've ever seen for a Dog and it was much appreciated as the temperatures were rising on this morning. For food we started with the cinnamon roll, which was very tasty on the occasion. They had a maple base cinnamon roll with bacon bits, and we enjoyed the sweet treat. For drinks we both got Arnold Palmer's as the tea was not too sweet and the lemonade was just right it was a good combination. For food, my husband got the breakfast burrito which was huge and had plenty of leftovers. I got the quiche with the Italian sausage and it was pretty tasty. I will say there was something very salty about my side salad and I'm not sure where that was coming from. Overall, if back in the area, I would definitely dine here again. The place was very quick at getting out your food. Everyone was friendly and it was overall a very nice vibe on a Sunday morning. read more

Friendliest owner ever, great staff, best breakfast I've ever had at any restaurant! Quiche and biscuits and gravy are out of this world.

Did you know that Dune Billies does catering?? Yes it does. They did a party for 40 for me. The quiche were perfect. Everyone raved. The accompanying salad and the mini muffins were great. Delivery was exactly on time. Food was hot. Nothing could've been better. read more

I have not been here in years. So I stopped in the morning I was leaving MC. This place is so cute and I have always loved the old beachy feel it has. I tried the Italian sausage quiche. It was very good. It had a lot of flavor, meat, cheese and veggies. Definitely worth a try. Even if you're not a fan of quiche, I think you would like this. The staff is very friendly and helpful. This is still a great place for breakfast and lunch. Hope it never changes. read more

Located within a beachfront neighborhood along Lake Michigan, this beach cafe has the feel of an ocean front cafe (without the ocean). It's open and airy and many tables are outside. Food is delicious and fresh, and while I loved everything, what really stood out to me were the breakfast potatoes with the baked on Parmesan. Service was solid and food came out quick despite them being busy. Glad we found this place! read more

This is a nice cozy spot for breakfast. Sat outside and had a great meal. It's also pet friendly. The waitress was very attentive and recommended the meat omelette, which was more than enough food to grab a to-go bag. Five stars read more

Dune Billies Beach Cafe - South Shore Breakfast Burrito - Bakeries Near Me - Michigan City, Indiana

Enjoyed our second breakfast visit to Dune Billies. There is limited food close to the shore in Michigan City, and we are thankful to have Dune Billies when we visit. They are open Wed-Sun for breakfast and lunch. They are often busy during this limited schedule, with servers and chefs that handle the crowds with both efficiency and friendliness. We try to sit outside on the patio. Their coffee options are limited. I was pleasantly surprised at the elevated level of their smoked salmon wrap with Tzatziki sauce. The greens in the wrap were very fresh and the wrap was both generous and tasty. We will be back on our next trip! read more

I've been here a few times, and the service was usually okay, but today will be my last visit. We sat for 20 minutes before receiving any service. After we finally placed our order, nearly an hour passed before the server came back and asked what we had ordered. Meanwhile, we watched people who arrived after us receive their food, finish eating, and leave. I paid for our drinks and we left. It was extremely disappointing to see customers being treated so differently. read more

I don't know why I haven't tried this place before? It is amazing. Such good homemade food. The flourless chocolate cake was to die for! I will be back and back and back. read more

Yes, we visited Dune Billie's today. The brunch was excellent with a nice variety of foods on the menu. We love sitting outside and the gentleman who waited on us was very attentive and friendly. read more

We were able to snag a table outside. They were very busy, but the food arrived in a reasonable amount of time and was delicious.

This place is a charming little mom and pop restaurant. The menu items have colorful and funny names that tie into a specific theme (I.e Hoosier wake-n-bacon). The staff is friendly, while eating outside on the patio I observed a group of 8 young women ask the owner if they knew where they could get ice for the venture today and the owner told them they would get them the ice. There is street parking and a small limited parking lot behind the building, and some public parking for a park across the street that can also be used. Great breakfast food! There is a 20% gratuity on groups of 6 or more, but they are well worth a great tip. read more

Came here for breakfast before heading out of town. What a cute atmosphere! We sat outside as it was a beautiful morning. I ordered the quiche which came with a side, salad and watermelon. Very tasty and moist. My friend ordered the mushroom rosemary soup and said it was delicious. A bit out of the way but a place we're stopping to visit. read more

We found Dune Billies when I was searching the web for restaurants on the east side of Indiana Dunes National Park when we were driving back to our hotel. The menu includes breakfast all day as well as sandwiches, quiches, salads, etc. I got The Washington Park sandwich which was piled high with spinach, artichoke, provolone, and more on sourdough bread and my husband got a turkey Reuben on marble rye. Both were DELICIOUS especially the bread. As we were dining, we saw a pan of fresh blueberry muffins come out so we ordered one for dessert and it did not disappoint! So light and fresh! We enjoyed our lunch so much that we came back for breakfast the next day. My husband got the Wake and Bagel (sausage, egg, and cheese bagel sandwich) which was delicious. I had a breakfast burrito--again , delicious, especially the tomatillo salsa! The service was excellent--fast and friendly. Cute little beach town restaurant with both indoor and outdoor (covered porch and sunny patio options) seating. (Near a small playground. Does not have a beach view.) We recommend highly! read more

A really nice option for a walkable breakfast place if you are renting up the road at the Beachwalk community. Great variety, fresh food, baked treats. Service was quick and friendly. It gets crowded on the weekend, but we were seated quickly and our food came out at a nice pace. Nice vibe. read more

Fantastic little restaurant with the best blueberry muffins. The coffee is just right and every item on the menu is carefully crafted.

Excellent food, service and relaxed vibe. The Cafe is small, but cozy. There may be a wait for a seat inside or on their sunny patio. Chat with a fellow diner or read a book from their charming mini library box on the sidewalk. read more
