You know, as much as I have been to Oink's in my lifetime, I cannot believe that I forgot to leave…read morea review for them YEARS ago! First let me start by saying that Oink's and I go way back. I believe that the first time I went there was in 1988 when I was 16 (my two older cousins were raised in Union Pier), and since I visit SW MI at least twice a year, I never leave without going to Oink's before coming home. As I always took my kids to Warren Dunes instead of Chicago beaches, my kids always got to enjoy Oink's before coming back home also! So this year was no different and my wife and I got to sit down and enjoy ice cream before coming back home. I have always loved the different ice cream flavors (especially strawberry cheesecake), and as I always do, I bought a few pig keychains and other things from the gift shop. I also have always loved the old-school vibe! So every time I am up that way, I'll be there!! One last thing: I got to meet Coach Vink back in the day because my older two cousins (The McSmith brothers, who both passed away unexpectedly in 2024 and 2025), played for him at New Buffalo High School. Coach was a good dude, and I was sorry to hear of his passing. So, see you next time I'm up there!

Another ice cream review from another favorite!…read more Oink's has been around for ages and is always a great place to stop in if you're in New Buffalo! There's a parking lot and other fun places in walking distance as well to check out. The decor in Oink's will never leave you bored. There is so much to look at! They have a number system so once you enter, be sure to grab a ticket with a number on it and it'll flash on the screen. There were a few groups who came in who were unaware of that and so the lines and ordering process was a tad chaotic. Eventually one of the staff mentioned something about grabbing a ticket and it was easily sorted. Everyone working was very friendly and patient which is a huge plus. I tried out one of their cherry and chocolate ice cream flavors. So tasty! I also love knowing you can get a half scoop as well although it was still so much ice cream. The perfect place for a sweet treat!

And it was worth it! We got a peach pie and a pecan pie - soft, smooth and delicious. This little place is literally in the middle of nowhere, but it's a hidden gem worth visiting for anyone who loves a good, homemade pie. The next time I drive through Michigan City, this will be the first place I visit. If you're looking for a cute little local business that serves up fantastic pies, you gotta stop by A Slice of Heaven!

While in Michigan City, we ended up coming to the Lighthouse Outlet after the zoo. We wanted…read moresomething sweet and happened upon Xurro which sells churros and funnel cake snacks. We got a churro sundae and a funnel cake sundae. The churros were warm and crunchy, while the funnel cake was soft and warm. The ice cream was good too but the whipped cream was just basic from a can stuff. They make the funnel cakes and churros as they are ordered so they end up as fresh as you can get. I would recommend Xurro for churros or funnel cakes and would definitely recommend the sundaes. They are so yummy and go great with ice cream. They were a great snack after the zoo and before we started looking around the outlet mall. I will admit though, the wait was longer than I was expecting and I had wished I'd gotten a chance to talk to the employee more than just giving my order, but I'd still come back nonetheless.

Since I'm addicted to chocolate, my choice was the Brownie Cascade milkshake. It was all that hoped for with its creaminess and overload of chocolate flavor. The best part? The price was only $6 and it was well-spent. I have been a consumer for milkshakes for 25 years or so and some places are starting to near the $10 price for a milkshake. If you need an ice cream fix, visit Dog Days in Chesterton.
