We stopped here for a drink and app at the bar before a boat tour. Our bartender was fantastic and the drinks were fun, fresh and summery. The outdoor bar was a great place to enjoy a summer evening! Only weird thing: the bathrooms were in the basement and had a really bizarre and off putting smell. read more

Very poorly managed, and awful customer service. We arrived, there was a short line (less than 10 people), and I could see LOTS of empty tables in the bar and outside. They don't take reservations. The group of 4 or 5 in front of us was seated promptly. There was another group of 4 or 5 behind us in line. I told them we had 10 total people, But would be happy to split into 2 tables if 5, one of 6 and another of 4, whatever was easiest for them. Was told "no, the manager says we're not taking any more large groups tonight." Again - I could see at least 15 empty tables in the bar and outside. I reiterated we'd be happy to separate into 2 groups of 5, or 4 + 6, or whatever. Hard no. I asked to speak with the manager - the greeter went back to get her and came back and said "she'll come out in a while, but Angie made it clear that no matter what you say it will be at least a 2 hour wait". Are you kidding me ...?!? Don't give them your business. Go elsewhere. They'll probably be happy you left. Terrible customer experience. I'd give them -1 stars if Yelp allowed negative stars. read more

Bartlett's Fish Camp - Seafood Near Me - Michigan City, Indiana

Solid spot for drinks and food off the Lake. My wife and I stopped here for some drinks before a night boat cruise. Our bartender was very friendly and served us our cocktails quickly. They were delicious and we shared the calamari, which was also good. The bathrooms smelled awful, which is my only complaint. read more

A great find, not far from the Blue Chip casino, with views of the water. I highly recommend the warm lobster roll and Salmon entree. The service was also prompt. My only criticism would be that the drinks were mediocre to subpar at best. Come for the seafood and view, but not the drinks. Highly recommend a table outside on the patio. read more

Like most places around here, they do not stay open late. Check closing time before going. The have a large patio and it's beautiful to sit out here for dinner during sunset. The menu has lots of great options with a variety of seafood, sandwiches, apps and pasta. I went with the specials menu and and everything was delicious! I ate artic char fish over quinoa with tomato basil cream sauce. There is also a great kids menu offered if needed. The server was helpful and speedy, but the food did take a very long time to arrive. Almost an hour for 4 adults to get their food. Luckily we asked the kids to get their food asap to avoid meltdowns. read more

Beautiful deck with a view of the canal and a peak at Lake Michigan. Service was good. The bisque at $9 a cup had no seafood in it. The broth was a good flavor, but at $9 I would think a few pieces of seafood would be nice. The oyster Rockefeller was on point. Good bake, nice topping and I liked the greens underneath. read more

The mezcal oyster shooters with blue points and diced cucumber, the lobster bisque, the fresh clam chowder, the espresso martinis (best in the area), the clam linguine, the pistachio ricotta cake.... The service, the view of Lake Michigan... perfect in summer and here also a perfect visit in winter ! Please visit fish camp! It's our favorite place close to home and is always on point ! read more

Bartlett's Fish Camp - Walleye with asparagus and mashed potatoes - Seafood Near Me - Michigan City, Indiana

We have driven past the Michigan City exit hundreds of times. Last week we were on our way from lower Michigan to Wisconsin and decided to spend the night in Indiana to avoid a big storm north of Chicago. A man and two women at the motel said they were going to Bartlett's Fish Camp for great sea food. Curious, we found the quaint restaurant near the marina on Lake Michigan. What a find. Great ambiance, great service and a wonderful menu. Sherry loves crab cakes, and said these were the best she ever had. I chose swordfish, which is hard to find in the Midwest. We were both delighted with the experience. Now we have include a stop in Michigan City on our trips to Michigan. read more

Thought it would be a good idea to hit Fish Camp again after having a great experience there in June. With a 2:30 arrival on Sunday we think we missed the early lunch crowd so parking and seating was never an issue. Once again, the folks at Fish Camp did not disappoint, and well worth the one hour drive from Elkhart. Great friendly service and delicious food. Although it was not too terribly warm, we elected to eat inside this time. Thought we would change it up with some different appetizers of Ceviche Trio and Grilled Octopus. Both were very good. Never been a big fan of even trying octopus and have had several italian meals that had it in it. I would just push it to the side and never tasted it. Thought I would just jump in this time and was impressed with the taste and texture. I would order it again. We enjoyed the sauteed Walley and the Linguini Vongole. Although we were stuffed with all of this great food, we could not pass up a piece of their homemade Blueberry Mascarpone cake. Everthing was excellent. Looking forward to the next trip to the Camp. read more

My friends and I went here yesterday for my birthday and while the food was good a the older blonder waitress from a different area negatively impacted our night. To start off my friend brought her baby in and the lady comes by and proceeds to touch her hair, face and hands and my friend had to repeatedly ask her to not touch her baby and when she finally heard her response was "well damn" and walked off. Sadly it didn't end there, she proceeds to tell almost every person after that walks by our table to "not touch the baby" and it made us very uncomfortable for the rest of the evening. I would think in this day and age it's common courtesy not to touch other people's babies especially ones you don't know. Overall the service and our waiter was good but that one situation really affected our evening. read more

Excellent prepared fish. We had Blackened cod and walleye. Service OK once seated. Be prepared to wait at peak dinner time after 5. Bar service will be provided. Mixed drinks will be served regular strength. Lot of boat and water condo people when we were there. Not loud. Ambient talk level with a lot of socializing with no music blaring or sports tv. Near MC summer concert area. read more

The four of us dined in on a Saturday evening at 5 pm and we were immediately seated. We shared a bowl of clam chowder, fresh fried clam strips, and fish and chips. The portion sizes are standard. The clam chowder was very light in flavor and the fried clam strips had an abundance of breading. I thought the cole slaw with the fish and chips was an excellent way to cut into all the fried food and batter. As we wrapped up our meal around 6 pm, we noticed there was a short wait to be seated. The restaurant was not fully seated at the time so perhaps the move was to allow the wait staff some breathing room and not be overwhelmed with the dinner rush. read more

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST SEAFOOD RESTAURANT IVE EVER HAD! For starters, my wife and I had the lobster and crab dip. I was creamy, garlicky, and had plenty of other flavors. The bread and crackers they give you to eat it with were amazing too. For entrees, I had the scallop bucatini, which had the best scallops I've ever had. Everything is fresh, coming in from the east coast daily. The pasta sauce was rich and creamy, the mushrooms were perfect, the tomatoes in it were cooked to perfection, and the pasta itself was cooked perfectly. My wife had the lobster roll, and that was amazing too. The filling with that bread combination is absolutely delicious. The service was great, and the atmosphere is very warm and welcoming. We 10000% recommend! read more

We put our names in for a table of 3. We were told to wait for 25 minutes. We waited for 40 minutes and could see the restaurant was busy and understood that it might take longer. When we went to ask how much longer they told us we weren't even in the queue. They then tried giving us a table for only 21 and up which we could not accept as a member of our group was not of age. At the end of the day I waited almost an hour to be given a table that we couldn't even accept. read more

The food is wonderful. It's beautiful right off the lake. The chef does an amazing job on all she makes!

Great service, Angie was fantastic!! Food was beyond!! Oyster Shooters, grouper, tuna!!! AAAA+++

Been there a few times. Doubt if I will ever go back. Food was good. Wound up with a $220 bill. it was expected, no big deal. I noticed that they had charged me $.75 for extra tarter sauce. Additional charge was not mentioned when I requested the extra sauce and I did not see it on the menue. Do not agree with this type "business model". Run up a $200+ tab and get nickle and dimed for a teaspoon amount of tarter sauce. Pretty sure I will not go back. read more

Amazing service and dog friendly patio. We enjoyed a lovely dinner at sunset. Julia our server was wonderful and timed our app and salad and dinner impeccably. The Gorgonzola chips were very good. The special was Walleye with lemon caper butter sauce and it was the best fish we have had in long time and we are from Florida! Definitely will return if we are back! read more

I have lived in MC most of my life and I can't believe this was my first time here. I had crab cakes to start, I ate so fast I didn't take a picture but they were delicious. Serving came with 2 cakes. I ordered the grilled shrimp tacos and lobster Mac and Cheese. I clearly ordered way too much food but I'm so excited to have left overs. Everything was cooked perfectly and the seafood didn't have that "I've been frozen" taste or texture. Very tasty meal. I will be back. Sat at the bar and service was perfect. Ashley was very kind and attentive. No complaints at all read more

It's our most favorite restaurant in all of northwest Indiana. The food is gourmet and delightful. The daily specials are first rate. The ambiance is quiet and intimate but casual and cozy.

My father is homebound with dementia. He has always loved the shrimp basket at Fish Camp. We have tried to get him an order to go on a few occasions. Only to be told no by the female manager. My husband even offered to sit and order drinks while waiting. This too was denied. This is unacceptable service for our elderly loved ones in our community. Someday they will get old and feeble too. Then the owner might get some empathy. Not to mention some service skills, business sense and common decency. read more

The whole experience!!! We had drinks, appetizers, a starter, an entree and then dessert! It was crazy busy and we never had to wait for a table... Incredible food and experience read more

The only reason it's a 2 star is because the food was very good. We (two person table) were at our table for 2 hours and 20 minutes, and not because we were slowly ordering and enjoying ourselves. Service was abysmal and almost nonexistent. Once we finally ordered drinks and appetizers, the drinks took 5+minutes to arrive and the appetizer came out at a reasonable time. We waited about an hour and a half for our entrees after ordering. We were finally told "our ticket was still pretty far back" 45 minutes after ordering. Wife's second wine took about 10 minutes to get, once we were able to finally order it. We had to ask for napkins/silverware after our appetizer was almost gone. No apologies until the last minute when it came time to finally pay bill (and tip). read more

Excellent food. The outdoor deck is great. Good service people. Only negative issue that we had recently was that our appetizer took so long, like 35 minutes that we decided to cancel it, because we knew our meals would be out soon. The waiter was super weird about it and instead of being concerned about his customers or even getting a manager, he felt the most important thing for him to do was to show us a print out of his ticket to prove that he had submitted our appetizer order in a timely manner and show that, consequently, the delay was not his fault. I mean that response is so off base and really a big turnoff. read more

My family has been enjoying Fish Camp for several years. Of the four of us two love seafood, and two do not. This can be a tricky place for those that don't enjoy seafood... it is Fish Camp after all. But there are several solid non seafood choices - burger, steak frites, chicken schnitzel, plus you can get the lobster Mac without the lobster. The oysters Rockefeller are awesome. One of my kids always requests them for her birthday dinner. The seafood bouillabaisse is my husband's favorite. Steak, chicken, scallops, shrimp, I always find something I like. The cocktails are always tasty too. Sitting outside when the weather is nice is great. You can bring your dog on the deck also. The only downside is the service can be slow, but we just make sure to go when we have time to hang out and enjoy each others company and it's fine. read more

Service was extremely poor - don't understand what happened from the last time we were there. We got there at 6 and ordered our food - appetizers and mains all at once - we got served at 8pm - will not be returning to this establishment. Food was just ok too Not worth the time or money - avoid this place there are better options. read more
