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

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

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

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

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

Love the quiche!! Can't go wrong with blueberry muffins! Staff is friendly!! Usually carry out!!

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

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

Food was amazing- we got Reuben's and mushroom thyme soup. Blueberry crumble custard pie was excellent. Our server Alex was wonderful. Every item ordered in our 7 person group ate every bite of their order and loved it. 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

Consistently good food and service. Love the historic posters and dog friendly. Highly recommend.

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

Had a great breakfast, muffins were perfect and soft. Had a southern burrito which was amazing. The salsa on top was good but had a bit of acidic taste but all the other kinds of flavors blended very well with it and sour cream made it a bit more lite. Staff and service were amazing, brought my pup and felt very welcoming. The location was very casual and calm, the place very clean. Will most definitely come back again read more

Cutest little diner by the beach. The blueberry muffins had SO many blueberries. Wraps weren't massive beyond consumption, but filling in the perfect way. Great for a close breakfast if you're staying at Blue Chip. So glad that we stopped in, and I look forward to trying everything on the menu. Sweet staff too :) read more

Excellent food. Our server was very nice. Our table was right in the path of the cash register and the route they used to seat other customers; they really shouldn't have you sit at a table like that because it makes it uncomfortable to eat. I loved the artwork on the walls! read more

Came here for breakfast while in Michigan City for the weekend. If you're looking for a local spot that feels very authentic-beach-town vibes, then it's okay, but overall wasn't super impressed. We were seated quickly and split the Dune Billie Wrap. It was very oily. However, the blueberry muffin was good. read more

This is a wonderfully hidden gem near the Blue Chip Casino! We walked there and back in a few minutes. The food is so good! The sausage gravy is perfect!

This is a really cute place with inside and outside dining. We were seated right way and the service was good. We were there for lunch and I ordered the special Chicken Pot Pie and my wife got the Turkey Avocado BLT. We also got the Mushroom soup and Chili. The Chili came out first and it was tasty, my wife really likes when the ground meat is all broken apart and not clumped together, this was perfect for her. After the Chili they brought out our meal and the fist thing I noticed is the Chicken Pot Pie was not swimming in sauce, it was PERFECT.. This was by far the best Chicken Pot Pie I have ever eaten. The chicken and vegetables blended perfectly, it really was a wonderful dish. I cannot say the same for the Mushroom soup. It came out cream looking, but it was super watery and not very creamy at all. I really didn't think the taste was that good either. It was not like any other Mushroom Soup I have had. It just was not my favorite. My wife's sandwich was ok, she said it had too much mayo. She really like the side salad that came with it, she said the dressing was really good. Overall I give this place 4 out of 5 stars, I think I would go back, especially if the Chicken Pot Pie was on special. read more

Everything looked good on the menu. We eventually ordered the Billie's Benedict, Mt. Baldy French Toast and the Stop 2 Sunshine Breakfast. All were delicious. The Benedict was a lil' different than the traditional... They did not use Canadian Bacon; they used thinly sliced ham. And the sauce was not the traditional Hollandaise sauce. The dish tasted fresh and light; I think I liked it better than the traditional. The French toast was one one the best I have tasted. It was very decadent. We also ordered a blueberry muffin... sooo good! I would highly recommend! Other: They have oudoor seating and a parking lot (although not too big). The place is decorated really cute! read more
