    I didn't eat at the bait shop but I did eat at D's Meats next door and I unfortunately can't find their page to leave a review. I think the bait shop and D's are affiliated so im going to leave my review here. I don't say this about a lot of places I eat, but these people KNOW what they're doing and they do it WELL!! we ordered 2 sandwiches the egg salad and chicken salad and at first found them a little pricey, but when we received our food it was 4 croissants each PACKED FULL. The picture speaks for itself. They let us sit outside on the bait shop patio because they don't have any space for dine in and we didn't mind at all! They even turned music on for us while we were out there. The girl who helped us was so pleasant and nice. The sandwiches were delicious and sooo full of unique flavor, and the sweet potato salad was absolutely incredible! I can't wait to come back. Soon I'll have to try the bait shop as well! Loved everything 10/10

    Funky little dinner spot with great drinks. Does NOT sell minnows, night crawlers or bee moths. Don't ask.

    So we stopped here on a fluke. My nubs had heard good things. The menu was a bit odd for my taste!! We decided to stay and were pleasantly surprised! We started with a dinner salad large enough for the two of us! My pork chop with sweet potatoes was fabulous and cooked to perfection. My hubby tried the shrimp and gnocchi and the sauce was incredible. I ordered the bartender special where I pick a liquor and yet create a drink. Vodka and kitties raspberry was too notch. Servers were super friendly!!

    See all

    Best food and drinks in Valpo hands down. Also one of the few remaining restaurants not owned by a larger corporation.

    Impeccable service. Very friendly staff. The food has a more savory flavor to it. Loved that and the presentation on the plate was superb.
