    This restaurant was one of the best on our trip. The food was perfect and our service was great also. Wow, this place was seriously amazing, it was definitely a highlight of our vacation. Everything we ordered tasted absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection. The staff were super friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. I highly recommend checking this restaurant out if you're ever in the area. We'll definitely be back next time we visit!

    Old Fashioned Pretzel

    We had dinner here while on vacation. The servers were incredibly friendly. They had the biggest hot pretzel we have ever seen. The green beans were the best I've ever had! I never get very excited about vegetables but I wished I had just a plate of them. The chicken was also very good. We loved it so much we went back a second night. Definitely give them a try!

    We went to Fiddlehead on a recent roadtrip. The service, food and ambiance was exceptional. Near the Lake Michigan beach. Highly recommended.

    Very cute place in Michigan City with a pretty varied menu including some vegetarian options as well. The chicken carbonara was a little salty but very good. The shrimp tacos were fantastic! Perfectly cooked shrimp with a spicy sauce covered in coleslaw with tomatoes. The Fiddlehead salad looked delicious as well with lots of toppings. The salads are large enough to share, so come hungry and bring friends! They also have a great selection of house cocktails that are creative and well crafted. The service was helpful and pleasant too. Nice place I'll come back to when I'm up that way.

    Love the variety of the menu and so many gluten free options. Tried the pirogues this time. Plus the amazing pulled pork sandwich with delicious sweet potato tots. Delicious

    Fiddlehead is our favorite! Delicious food, generous portions, attentive service, and beautiful indoor/outdoor spaces. Some menu items sell out fast, so arrive early. Always leave happy and full! Food: 5/5.

    I went with the spaghetti bolognese and it reminded me of something homemade. The meat sauce was hearty and not overly salty like some places. The pasta was al dente and the portion was generous. I liked that they served it with garlic bread, which was actually pretty good. Staff was attentive and the food came out fairly quickly. It's a chill spot, good for casual dinners. I'll be back to try the lasagna.

    I had the fettuccine alfredo and it was creamy without feeling too heavy. The pasta was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of bite. I could tell the sauce was made fresh and had a nice garlicky undertone that really worked. The portion was generous and I even had leftovers for the next day. Our server was super friendly and checked in often without being overbearing. The restaurant had a cozy vibe with warm lighting and soft music in the background. Definitely a great spot for a casual dinner with good pasta.

    Chicken Carbonara
    Allison H.

    We dined in this past Saturday evening with some friends and were seated quickly. Our server was friendly but not the most attentive. I ordered the mac daddy burger with sweet potato tots, which was delicious (I'd order it again) and my husband ordered the chicken carbonara, which was very cheesy but lacking bacon. Overall, the food and drinks were a little pricier compared to other places; however, it was still a great dinner!

    Fish Tacos
    Jake L.

    First of all the food are mid, the fish tacos taste like coleslaw, fish don't have a lot of flavor. The menu is slightly overpriced for what they offered. Service was slow, waitress took a long time to serve us.

It is a decent, semi-local IPA, but for once, it is one that I prefer out of the can. The restaurant is clean, and large, and we were seated & served pretty quickly for a part of 5. The menu is semi limited...not a lot of anything, but probably something for everyone.Nothing we ordered was super complex . We ordered the fried feta and the arancini for an appetizer. Both were excellent, although of if I had to pick, I would opt for the feta. For entrees, my party ordered a variety of things! I ordered the panini with a side of fries. Portion on the fries quite small but they were seasoned well. The roast beef panini need something a little more to hit the flavor profile...maybe a dab of horseradish? It was good but not great For the $. Would probably opt for a different place next time.

We ordered towards the top of the beer menu which was described to us as the lighter beers in color. As you make your way to the bottom of the draft beer menu, the beers get darker. Beers were refreshing and had a great taste. The Stellar Blue had a blueberry profile. The blueberry was not overwhelming and complemented the beer. I would've gave Shoreline a five star rating, but the Bavarian pretzel was expensive and underwhelming. It did not taste fully cooked. It was more doughy than I thought it should be. I loved the buttery taste of the Baramundi sandwich and the blackened flavor was on point. The fish and chips were on point also. I shared the fish and chips with my lunch date. The fish and chips were not the greasiest fish and chips I've had, but they did upset my stomach a little bit. Although I believe I am sensitive to greasy food. Server was friendly and helped us navigate the menu. We sat inside this time, but it looks like they have a great outdoor patio. If and when I go back, I'm going to avoid the pretzel, get the beer, and eat the Baramundi sandwich.

My two granddaughter's and I stopped there for a sandwich after shopping at the Lighthouse Mall. To say the woman that took our orders was unfriendly, is an understatement. She was an older woman with short hair. My granddaughter ordered a Patty Melt on white bread, this woman's response was "we don't have white bread." My granddaughter asked for a substitution because she doesn't like rye bread. Answer: "that's all we have." Did not offer to put it on a hamburger bun, which is white bread. I ordered a salad. I was told "no salad's today." I then ordered a fish sandwich and a cheeseburger, with two sides of mayonnaise, one for fish and one for cheeseburger. The woman who was cooking brought one side of mayonnaise. When I told her I needed another, her response "I already gave you one." The food was okay, service TERRIBLE. I would never go back. I'm in the restaurant business and would never treat customers the way we were treated yesterday. And to add insult to injury, I was charged .50 for a cup of water. This is the worse $27.90 (my check) that I will never see again! Thelma J. Garcia tgarcia701@comcast.net

    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.
