This is a pretty nice place and the service is 5-star. I like the different breads and spreads that…read morethey give you. The chive cream cheese is the best and they will give you more if you ask for it. We tried the ribeye, mushrooms, mashed potatoes, grilled broccolini, caprese and Casesar salads, chocolate cake, and mocktails. We tried the au poivre and hollandaise sauces as well. We did hope that they would have more homemade steak sauce options. The food was mostly good but the caprese had some mealy tomatoes in it and the mushrooms seemed to be cooked in oil instead of butter, so that was not good. I took the chocolate cake home and it was ok but not quite what I thought it would be. It seemed to be more of a mousse cake than a traditional 7-layer cake. Just ok for me. They do give you chocolate lava beignets at the end and those were good. They also brought over a whole new bread basket that we did not ask for and then wasted the whole thing instead of packing it up with our food, so I did not like that. Don't be wasteful. Overall, it was a good experience and we would go back to try some other things.

Our server Alison made us feel welcome and was a big part of the reason we had a fun night. Our steaks were prepared as requested and the lobster mashed potatoes were delicious. The next time we visit I may just go straight to the chocolate cake. As good as the steaks were, the cake was outstanding. Save up your money and go here for your next special day!

I had the 3-egg special with choice of bacon, sausage or links, potatoes and choice of toast or biscuit. For the price, I thought it was about in-line with a tourist place. Our server was attentive and professional; I think her name was Gabby with the pink hair. Good kid, ask for her to be your server as she knows what she's doing. Restaurant overlooks the pool which is nice and you might see some of the wildlife hanging out sunning. I would return here again when in the South Bend area not far off the highway. The whole property is newer and well cared. Clean restrooms too! I forgot to take pics.

My son and I had the smoked chicken sandwich, my daughter-in-law ordered the Bahn Mi and my husband ordered pastrami. Of course we all had to share and taste everything.

We were visiting South Bend for a Notre Dame home game, and as you can imagine, finding a place to…read moreeat for a group of 8 after the game can be a struggle! We called Crooked Ewe, and they were kind enough to hold a table for us. As it turned out, the patio was perfect for a larger group on a Saturday evening. The atmosphere is laid-back and easygoing. Inside has that cozy, small-brewery feel, while the patio gives you a gorgeous view of the river. Our service was great - friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Overall, we really enjoyed the food, although I thought some of the Asian-inspired dishes could use a little refinement. I ordered the bibimbap bowl with fried cauliflower, cucumbers and onions, shredded carrots and daikon, and kimchi fried rice. The cauliflower was easily the star here! Though the fried rice and other accompaniments could use a bit more flavor and texture. That said, the BBQ was A+. I added a side of brisket, and it was probably some of the best brisket I've ever had. It's a thicker cut and melts in your mouth. My husband and FIL also raved about the wings. One thing to note for families: there isn't a kids menu, but my son was perfectly happy with a cheeseburger and fries. All in all, Crooked Ewe was a great find for our group. We'd definitely come back, especially for those wings and brisket!

I'm glad they were open a little later than average. I was delighted to eat a smoked brisket burger. That thing must've been 6 inches high. It was a monster. My sweetie loved the fish tacos. They have an amazing wasabi, mayo sauce that goes with them. The middles split a prime rib Mac and cheese. They described it as "real American food" with a smile and a twinkle in their eye. That means it's delicious. It's actually a bacon prime rib, mac & cheese, and they don't even mention the bacon because the prime rib is so good. Very filling. I took a sample and it is probably the best tasting meat augmented mac & cheese I've ever tasted. The smokiness just does something amazing there. I like the background music. I like the barn, Midwest, rustic ambience. It was a delicious experience. I had to share about it online with some Japanese folks because of their recent enthusiasm for American "cheese violence". I asked if that magnificent burger qualifies as "meat violence".

I finally decided to try the Chubby Trout tonight…read more I was greeted by a couple of friendly and smiling faces at the door. I was Seated right away and introduced to my waitress, Taylor, immediately. Taylor deserves special accolades. She was so friendly and caring; she made my dining experience special. Thank you Taylor!! Taylor was awesome; she was friendly, always checking on me and sincerely concerned about my satisfaction. She was willing to do anything to make things right if I wasn't happy with something. First I ordered the Crab Cakes as an appetizer. Then I ordered off the specials menu; a Japanese spiced Branzino dish. The crab cakes were somewhat disappointing. Mostly filler and not much crab taste. Sometimes the taste actually resembled a tuna fish sandwich. The remoulade sauce that came with the crab cakes was really tasty. I wasn't really happy with the branzino dish. The fish was cooked pretty well, but "in my opinion" It had too much seasoning and the seasoning had an off flavor. Could just be my personal tastes. The restaurant has a lot of seating, little nooks and corners and a bar with seating. Plenty of quiet areas and areas to gather as a large group as well. Even though I didn't have great food choices today; I'm pretty sure while I'm in town this weekend, I'll go back and try some different dishes. See you all soon!!

Thankfully, our server offered to do cheese curds instead, and they were amazing. But that's as good as the food got. The burger we ordered was forgettable, and the "croque" was practically inedible. It had that weird plasticy questo-like cheese with maybe pepperjack in it, poured all over. It also took FOREVER for our food to come out. And it was maybe 1/4 full, even considering the patio. Not sure what happens when they are really slammed. Tables are long and communal with a little board separating different parties. There are some high tops scattered about. Not much of a vibe, but perhaps because we where there when it was dead.
