I arrived in town earlier than expected after a 3-hour drive and was looking for something to eat…read moreand drink. Unfortunately, options were limited--mostly fast food and a few pubs that were closed at the time. This restaurant was open, so I decided to give it a shot. The place was nearly empty, aside from a few locals. It's a surprisingly large space, which only made the emptiness more noticeable. The tap list was underwhelming--mostly domestics like Bud and Busch, along with a heavy focus on IPAs (not my thing). I ended up ordering a Corona, but it was clearly skunked, likely from sitting too long--suggesting slow turnover and possibly overstocked inventory. I ordered the half rack of ribs with baked beans and their corn coleslaw. Unfortunately, the meal was disappointing. The ribs were lukewarm, dry, and lacked flavor. No BBQ sauce was brushed on or offered--which is surprising for a BBQ joint. The beans tasted canned, and the corn coleslaw, while creative in concept, just didn't work in execution. No pickles, no bread, no condiments--nothing to round out the plate. I get that this is a small town, but when you're the only BBQ spot around, there's a real opportunity to stand out. Sadly, this place missed the mark. I don't like leaving below-average reviews, but in this case, I had to be honest.

The coffee, unfortunately, is ass. Bad enough that I genuinely hate docking an otherwise great local business two stars for it. The espresso tastes like someone emptied a bunch of used Keurig pods and cigarettes into pool water and boiled it for seven hours. Burnt, dirty and aggressively bitter, without any of the flavor that makes strong coffee actually good. And that's what makes it so frustrating. This is exactly the kind of independent bakery/cafe where I WANT to buy a great latte instead of going to Biggby or another chain. There's a huge opportunity here to be the legit coffee spot in town, and the rest of the place already deserves it. Please, for the love of God, fix the espresso. Your pastries deserve a better wingman.

Fish on the sandwich was about 1/4 thick, you could barely find it with all the lettuce, cheese and tartar. Burger was so overcooked, it was like shoe leather. Onion rings were impressive when they brought them out. However, they were saturated in oil. For $9.99 it would have been nice to be able to eat them. I had one and my husband had 1/2 of one. We were very disappointed after seeing they were in business 50 years - had high hopes. The ladies behind the counter were nice and you could tell they were working hard. Nice location on the water. Would not visit again.

The order is wrong as often as not. And the drive thru takes forever. I avoid it altogether unless it is my only available option. I would rather eat gas station sushi. On top of that, the cashier at the drive thru had greasy green hair and a Wicca tattoo on her forearm. That is extremely offensive to me and I will not return.

The drink and condiment area was very clean.

Made my protein pocket absolutely wrong. I don't even know what happened to be quite honest. The worker kept getting distracted while trying to add veggies to my sandwich and walking away.

If you want a subway sandwich from here i suggest just eating a whole entire loaf of bread instead. All the employees are dumb as a box of rocks. Some people aren't ready for the workforce.

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.
