    Assortment of different types (sorry one is just a shell....I couldn't wait)

    I really like this place. I was there a month ago and 4 of us shared different types of grilled oysters (Casino, Savannahs, and Grilled)....all 3 were amazing! The Casino oysters were seriously off-the-chain good. My fave for sure. Put bacon on anything and....well....enuf said.

    Oysters Casio in the back, Savannah in the center, Half Shells down front. All lovely.

    Spend your money elsewhere. The owner is persistently rude, which is unfortunate because the servers are friendly and the location is good.

    After reading these reviews of this restaurant as we were staying for two days for the AC/DC…read moreconcert I was apprehensive but I am so glad I followed my gut to form my own opinion! We ate dinner here twice and snacks after the game and nothing was disappointing. First before the concert we had nachos and they were pretty good for a bar nacho only thing I said that I'd change is more homemade chips but that's just me being picky lol and they satisfied two hungry people! Now the real review is after the concert we had the chicken tender basket with fries and the fried green beans and they were so good. The chicken was tender and hand breaded and still juicy and I am so picky about my chicken! It was mouth watering! The next day we did dinner again bc nothing else sounded good! Once again without fail it was good! I got the chicken again because I am a creature of habit! My husband got the black and bleu burger and fries and we were not disappointed! The staff the first night even being Crammed and busy with the concert traffic were friendly and as fast as they could be! Also a great crowd for a busy night if you like a crowd! Food came out fast as well! Same as the second night! If we're ever in South bend we would eat here again and again! Highly recommend!

    Yum and more yum. Our son and daughter-in-law brought us to The Crooked Ewe for dinner and…read moreeverything was beyond delicious! My son and I had the smoked chicken sandwich, my daughter-in-law ordered the Bahn Mi and my husband ordered pastrami. Of course we all had to share and taste everything. All in all, everything was very tasty, including the fries cooked in beef tallow. The drinks were great and the wait staff beyond friendly and helpful. Thank you, Crooked Ewe!

    We were visiting South Bend for a Notre Dame home game, and as you can imagine, finding a place to…read moreeat for a group of 8 after the game can be a struggle! We called Crooked Ewe, and they were kind enough to hold a table for us. As it turned out, the patio was perfect for a larger group on a Saturday evening. The atmosphere is laid-back and easygoing. Inside has that cozy, small-brewery feel, while the patio gives you a gorgeous view of the river. Our service was great - friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Overall, we really enjoyed the food, although I thought some of the Asian-inspired dishes could use a little refinement. I ordered the bibimbap bowl with fried cauliflower, cucumbers and onions, shredded carrots and daikon, and kimchi fried rice. The cauliflower was easily the star here! Though the fried rice and other accompaniments could use a bit more flavor and texture. That said, the BBQ was A+. I added a side of brisket, and it was probably some of the best brisket I've ever had. It's a thicker cut and melts in your mouth. My husband and FIL also raved about the wings. One thing to note for families: there isn't a kids menu, but my son was perfectly happy with a cheeseburger and fries. All in all, Crooked Ewe was a great find for our group. We'd definitely come back, especially for those wings and brisket!
