I do recommend Maple and Bacon!

I really wanted to give this place five stars because when we first moved here, this was my…read moreabsolute favorite brunch place!! It was just so charming!! They did change some things on the menu since we moved here last August. They took away their amazing, huge cinnamon roll and replaced it with a very dry one. My daughter would get the cinnamon roll every single time she came in. But then when they came out with the new one she passed. Just didn't have enough icing on it, and it was dry around the edges. The other thing that I was sad about is that they went with plain old white coffee cups with their name on them. It seems so corporate to me. They stood out with their colorful, huge mugs for coffee!! My daughter and I absolutely adore that. It made them stand out a bit . Their food is pretty good. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The only other tip I would recommend would be when you guys have specials listed on your specialty menu to make sure you don't run out of anything. Last time I was there, you ran out of the banana bread latte and that was pretty disappointing. And please bring your cinnamon rolls back lol!!

Jumped online and looked for some reviews of local restaurants in Chesterton, Indiana, a little…read moretown adjacent to Indiana dunes national Park. Found a couple promising choices and we settled on northside diner. And it was a great choice. Inside it has that quirky retro 50s, nostalgic feel. Memorabilia and art around the small building. Standout performances by the service staff. As it should have been, it was extremely busy on a Saturday morning. There also happened to be a festival in town. Which may have even subtracted from the amount of people waiting to get a booth, as there were some food trucks and other activities going on. But that being said, we sat at the little counter and ordered your basic breakfast with eggs and bacon and toast plus some biscuits and gravy and I was pleased that I didn't order the full-size biscuits and gravy because the half size was as big as a normal size at other restaurants. Gravy was full flavor, not gritty at all, and there was more than adequate amounts of sausage. Sometimes you have to play hunt the sausage, which is just a scary statement. I had ordered an extra well-done sausage patty just in case I needed to cut up more and had it. But I would've been OK without. Happy with our choices plus a tremendous value. Highly recommend anyone coming into the Indiana dunes area looking for a great breakfast value I believe the place closes at 1 o'clock, so keep that in mind. Now we were there on a Saturday so please check hours. Enjoy.
