I've only gotten carryout from China Garden, but every time I've gone there, the service has been slow, and my order has been wrong. The food is really mediocre at best. My wife complains that the chicken dishes are all gristle, but I talked her into giving it one more try. That's when my order w...
What a uninviting resaurant from the outside and in, but the sushi is some of the best I have ever had. I have done sushi across the nation and this place is some of the best. I do not know how they do it in the middle of no-whereville, but the sushi is awesome. I can only imagine the rest of the...
Great steaks. And the sandwiches are very tasty as well. Love their ham and cheese sandwich. Very filling!
I love this place!! Too bad it is so far on the south side of South Bend. They do have a couple locations that offer Bruno's pizza, but it just is not the same atmosphere and people who wait on you. One of the best pizza's I have ever eaten!! AND a great value. The pizza pies here are HUGE!!!
Be very careful of the breakfast, I've had it twice now and was sick afterward on both occasions. I also have a friend who has had the same experience.
Our party of 4 enjoyed the wine, music and atmosphere in the garden at Carriage House. As for the food, overall, I would have rated it average. However, when the pork chop entree was presented to my husband, he immediately detected a foul odor. The rest of us agreed that it smelled very unpleasan...
It's a nice place to have traditional Japnese food and Chinese food there.
This is a great local/family owned restaurant with authentic and delicious Italian food. There is a lot I could say about the place, but to be honest, its one of those places that you need to check out yourself to really appreciate. My wife and I are personally fans of Mama’s Lasagna, with extra t...
Yes, this is a family owned Italian restaurant. We tried the buffet during the week and it was one of the BEST buffets we have ever had. All of the food was made from scratch and delicious. Salads, vegetables, pizza, lasagna, all kinds of Italian meat and pasta dishes...superb. This restaurant is...
This romantic Italian restaurant is a hidden gem! My husband and I discovered it last week, and if you love homemade Italian pasta, this is your place. Everything was delicious! I had their special of the day...a chicken dish, and their alfredo linguini is superb. There was beautiful Italian mus...
Yes, this restaurant is in a lower level, and it is "dark", but it has a nice Chinese atmosphere. And the food is the best in South Bend for Chinese food. The beef is top quality and the portions are ample. If you are with someone, order two or more dinners to share. Ask for their free Chinese t...
Fantastic Food, we really enjoyed the Ribs.
My first visit to Tippecanoe was with my college daughter on Easter Monday, for lunch. What a wonderful place! Can't wait to take the rest of the family. I thought the prices were very reasonable, considering the huge servings, excellent service, and fantastic setting. Our lunch, including dessert a...
one of the best burger joints/bars on west side in south bend. order the fire rock burger, formed by hand, and an order of fries, and you'll be hard pressed to eat it all. very clean, very friendly place.
Sorry Bruo's, Francesco's, The Volcano, etc., no one can seem to hold a candle to Lacopo's Pizzeria. The food is fresh - really fresh and made on the premises. The family is wonderful. My family visits from as far away as Colorado, upper Michigan, Texas, California, New York and from as close as ...
We have been fans of Lacopo's for nearly 20 years--it is the only place we go for meals when visiting South Bend. The ingredients are always fresh (they make their own sauces and grind the sausage, for example). In addition to the wonderful pizza, they also have great sandwiches and our particular...
My family and I arrived at the restaurant around 8:30 PM (week night). We sat for some time before being waited on, maybe 20 minutes. When we tried to order we found that they were out of most all entrees and no diet coke. We will not be returning.
If you love pizza Locopos Pizzeria is the place to go in South Bend. Their Lasagna is fantastic as well! Lacopos provides fast and friendly service and clearly its run by a family who cares about quality.
Brunos is the worst! I agree with all the posted comments. The pizza is average and the service is awful due to the old lady sitting at the front. They are cheap as you can tell by the delapidated building, nonworking restrooms, the hassle if you use a credit card, and the overall unfriendliness. Th...

If you really want GOOD FISH this is no doubt the place to go. The fish is always seasoned and cooked just right
