    Denver omelet with hash browns and a biscuit
    Jaclyn M.

    We stopped in for breakfast this morning. I had the Denver omelet with hash browns and a biscuit. Talk about delicious, simple comfort food. We're already planning to try lunch here tomorrow.

    Eggs, sausage patties, and "smoked sausage".
    Patrick J.

    The waitstaff were very nice and attentive. The eggs were done perfectly over easy. All of the food was prepared and served with care. They really need to step up the food quality, though. The sausage patties were of the typical restaurant food service "flavorless discs of hate" variety (think Sausage McMuffin). The "smoked sausage" was a jumbo frank, and while that is technically a "frankfurter sausage", it's not what I expected when I ordered. I hope they get these issues sorted out. This could be a really nice place to go for breakfast.

    Randy's Diner has old school decor and good breakfast. I had the 2x4. Good value and good food. What more can you ask for?

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!

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!

    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???? The perch is gone and replaced by "pub fish" that is utterly tasteless and my wife's burger was tasteless as well, looked like a preformed bag burger. Y'all have to step this up or I can't come back. 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.

    Shoreline Brewery & Restaurant is an easy go-to stop in Michigan City for locally made beer, a wide…read morevariety of food options, and a fun outdoor patio atmosphere. Our group started with the pierogi appetizer, and it was definitely the highlight of the meal. They were perfectly fried with a crispy exterior and topped with sour cream, bacon, and onions. Super flavorful and hit the spot! For dinner, I ordered the Chicken & Bacon Jam Sandwich with sweet potato fries. While the chicken itself was tender, the bacon jam was much sweeter than I expected and ended up overpowering the sandwich. I was hoping for more of a savory flavor. The bottom bun also soaked up quite a bit of oil, making it pretty soggy and messy to eat. The sweet potato fries weren't quite my style either because they were heavily coated in sugar and tasted more sweet than savory. Unfortunately, neither is something I'd order again, even though both sounded great on the menu. We visited during a busy Saturday dinner rush, so our food took a while to arrive, but our server was friendly, attentive, and acknowledged the delay, which I always appreciate and understand! We sat outside on the patio, which was a fun place to spend the evening. The only thing I noticed was that there wasn't any music playing outdoors like there was inside, and I think that would have added a little more energy to the space. Overall, I don't want to knock this place too much because I genuinely think it's a great spot for Michigan City. Between the local beer selection, large menu, welcoming atmosphere, and outdoor seating, it's definitely worth a visit! I'd happily come back and try some different menu items next time!

The bar has windows to show off the brewery behind the scenes. Our server was amazing. So nice & friendly. He even brought us a sample beer to taste while we were deciding. I ordered the stellar blue, my husband had the bleacher bum hazy IPA. They both were great! We got the huge hot pub pretzel with cheese dip. $16. It was good, but a little doughy. We still polished it off. Was great with the beers. I ordered fish & chips. It came with coleslaw. I was excited to try it because the menu said it had dried cherries. Unfortunately it was small & didn't have any cherries. It came with 3 big pieces of fish breaded perfectly. Amazing French fries. Lots of them. Definitely glad I was sharing. The menu was big & I can't wait to try more food & beer.
