    Caprese sandwich, mozzarella, Havarti, tomato, basil, honey on whole-grain bread.

    One of our favorite places when we are downtown South Bend. Friendly staff. Food is consistently good. Great coffee! Love the coffee shop vibe, too.

    Looking for a casual breakfast place while in town for a wedding, we found Chicory Cafe downtown. No wait for a table, we walked right in and ordered at the counter. Drinks were quickly brought to our table. Food followed not long after. Decor was warm and cozy in hues of gold, brown and burnt orange. We ordered beignets, breakfast sandwiches, biscuits and gravy, fish Po'boy and jambalaya. All were good.

    Excellent food! The Cubano sandwich with pulled pork, ham, Swiss, and pickles on buttery toasted French bread was absolutely delicious. The Turtle Latte was a perfect, rich chocolatey treat. Cozy atmosphere with a nice patio option, highly recommend!

    The Cobb salad was made with top notch ingredients. The carnivore me loved this salad. The older more health conscious me was disappointed by not enough lettuce. I don't want to complain about that and am even surprising myself that I am... Food came out quick. I showed up on trivia night... wouldn't recommend if you aren't doing it. Was crazy loud. With that said, if I lived here, I'd start my own team and show up.

    Beignets

    Staff behind the ordering counter were friendly and patient, as we have never been to Chicory before. I had the Cobb salad (no bacon, no tomato) and my daughter had the Cobb as well. The Mac and cheese and other hot dishes sounded and looked great, but we were so hot from being outside all day. The Chicory is definitely a cafe-style and not an actual restaurant. You order at the counter and bring a table sign with you for your food to be brought out. The winner of this meal were the beignets. Hot, fresh, soft, puffy, perfect beignets. I will dream about these little puffs of deliciousness.

    We just got back from Florida and we decided to chill out and get a room. I'm glad we found this place! For $99, it wad great!! Clean and comfortable. Friendly staff. Hot tub was a bit too hot. Pool temperature was perfect! I loved the fact that you couldn't smell any chlorine in the pool area. It didn't burn my skin or my eyes. We would definitely stay here again.

    Came here as it is a family favorite. Service was friendly. Getting your food was a challenge. We ate in rotations as the food came out. I tried to order the chicken creole. I don't eat pork so that wasn't an option as it is already mixed with the chicken. I settled for the shrimp po boy which was ridiculously salty. Everyone else liked it. I tried again and got the caprese grilled cheese. Yum. My son ate half of it because his food never came out. The oven wasn't working so they refunded our money. We tried to get him a smoothie and the blender was broken. Lol. Third try and he got the Mac and cheese. He had to wait an additional 8 minutes but the dish was hot and yummy. Service was friendly. Ambiance was good. I think it was just an off day. Will definitely be back.

    Super friendly staff and very welcoming to two out of towners who stumbled in 15 minutes before close! Fish Po Boy was on point, crispy fried fish that was tender and so good. Cobb salad was generous and super fresh even without the requisite bleu cheese crumbles and avocado. We will be back for more!

    This review is specifically for their restaurant week winter 2026 menu, which my boyfriend and I…read moreordered off of for lunch in January 2026. I have not yet had the pleasure of trying anything off of Fatbird's normal menu. I'll try to keep this review quick since it is pretty specific but long story short, we loved the unique and well made food and the service and vibes were great! So while Fatbird is known for their chicken sandwiches, my bf and I ordered the $40 lunch for two from this special 2026 menu, which was heavily indigenous Latin American-inspired in the ingredients. For the starter, we shared 8 sweet plantains slices which were yummy but we wish we had more. Then for our main, we split one grilled jerk chicken sandwich with VERY unique ingredients like a pickled green tomato as well as two creative tacos with tender shredded pork and more pickled veg. The tacos were spicy as heck and definitely not for the faint of heart! Lastly, we split a small bowl of arrow con leche brule, which helped bring the heat down from the tacos. While we didn't leave full, we had fun trying a curated and very unique set of dishes with interesting flavors, textures, and spices. The other 4 people we ate lunch with ordered a variety of stuff from the normal menu, some of which are in my attached pictures. My bf also ordered himself a pineapple tepache to sip on, which was $8, and I got myself a diet coke with lemon ($3). Our waitress was on top of her game and was very friendly. The interior is cute and spacious and the bathroom is cute and clean. I love a clean bathroom! Their normal menu has 8000 things I want to try next time! As for this special menu lunch, we paid, after tax, tip, and a credit card surcharge, a total of $67. A bit high for lunch, but good vibes all around!

Can't go wrong with any, whether traditional or slightly experimental, they're all good. Great service, great bar, a great night out.

Today though, I walked in thinking this might be it... my hunt for the best fired pizza in South Bend might finally be over. I saw the giant pizza oven and thought, "yeah, this is about to be serious." So naturally... I stayed for lunch. It was busy, but the self-serve kiosk made ordering easy. I went all in Pepperoni Pizza, Cheesy Garlic Bread, Chicken Noodle Soup, and Shrimp Diavolo. For a packed lunch rush, 15-20 minutes wasn't bad at all. Now... the pizza. I wanted to love it. I really did. But it just didn't show up. It was pretty bland overall, and most of the flavor came from the cupped pepperoni which tasted like something you'd grab off a store shelf. The sauce tried to make a comeback, but it got completely overshadowed. The rest of the food? Honestly solid. The Chicken Noodle Soup hit the spot, and the Shrimp Diavolo was actually really good. So yeah the pizza hunt continues. The oven might look impressive, but it's not ending anyone's search just yet. But the sweets? Still a slam dunk. -The interior was clean and the seating area is large.

We both ordered cheeseburgers and fries, I ordered a double cheeseburger, plain, and my daughter chose a single cheeseburger with everything on it. Now I don't order burgers very often but, today I was extremely hungry and they sounded amazing. These burgers came out with buns that were glistening with. I don't know what......I'm going to guess was some kind of magic from heaven lol. This burger was probably the best burger , if not an easy second best burger I've ever had! The bun was toasted on the grill with a delicious buttery taste, I believe it was a brioche bun. The patties were flavorful, And juicy. It goes without saying the quality products that were used when you enjoy this burger! Bonus- this burger was huge!! I couldn't make it through half! The fries are literally perfect as well! Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. So good! Lunch for two with drinks and a good tip was 30 dollars, which was fair considering we brought home another meal for later with the leftovers! Until next time Scoobies!
