    Great presentation , chicken sandwich on the other hand wasn't so great.
    James L.

    I ordered the honey chicken sandwich. Great presentation but that is where it stops. The chicken breast was really small covered about half the bun. The first bite of this sandwich was fine. The next bite was a piece of chewy rubbery mess just like the remainder of the chicken. At that point I paid for my sandwich. The lady asked me how was the sandwich. I was honest and told her that it was just a mess. I told her the chicken was chewy. She just remain totally silent with a blank look on her face. So I know which place I won't return to when I come work in the area again.

    Homemade chocolate cream pie was fantastic.
    James P.

    Really good food, very friendly service. Had the biscuits and gravy, and the chocolate cream pie. Pie was definitely, obviously homemade. Great texture and flavor.

    I love this place. I'm visiting town for the weekend. I chose Momma -T's from the tell ratings...really pleased! 3 days in a row. Three different breakfasts. Great quantity. Great price. Perfect service. Friendly home town atmosphere. Exactly what I was looking for! And impressed with the coffee. Smooth!

    Historical building in downtown location. Food choices were good as was food. Homemade milkshake was delicious. Original floor and furnishings was appreciated. Server was excellent. Cost was reasonable. Street parking was readily available on a Saturday afternoon. Bathroom was hard to find, small, and not the cleanest.

    Nonexistent masks. Tables extremely close.

    The food is ok. But their disregard for public safety is unacceptable. Several members of the wait staff won't wear masks. It is one thing for customers to refuse (which is not alright). But when a staff member refuses, they should be shown the door. We will not be back.

    Omelette's are cooked perfectly. The hash browns are buttery, moist in the inside and crispy on the outside. Great Belgium waffles also!

    Ordered Omelette with an extra egg because their build your own omellette is only 3 eggs for…read more$13.95. Didn't want the hash browns or pancakes. Opted for rye toast (in lieu of pancakes) and a side of cottage cheese. Water to drink. Was asked if i wanted butter on the toast. After asking if they use butter or margarine, it was confirmed they use margarine. So toast was ordered dry and I would be required apply butter by opening the small "whipped butter" packets inborder to enjoy some buttered rye toast . The Omellette was ok taste-wise...but the entire time eating it my mind is questioning if I'm consuming eggs cooked in margarine? Then I'm thinking of the experiment where I placed an unwrapped stick of margarine on a dish in my garage for 2 weeks and observed that not an insect, rodent or any other living creature disturbed the lab born condiment...completely untouched orbdisturbed.. and thus I haven't poisoned my body with that garabage ever since...until possibly now??? Place was dirty with soot on the window sill at my booth. Bill comes and is over $20...highest price I've paid for that meal anywhere, which i order from various establishments a few times a week (including the 5 egg omellete establishments). Then I'm asked "cash or card?" Then informed that DEBIT card is another upcharge of $1.40, or so. The "how was everything" converstaion deserved a comment from me about the ridiculous price I'm paying for some eggs. The off-putting, I assume, owner steps in, then starts trying to justify the upcharges that resulted in a $26 omelette (by the time i threw in a $5.00 tip). This guy continued trying to convince me that he has the lowest prices and best quality...blah blah blah...trying do hard convince me his price chiseling way of doing business is justifiablr. Oh, well, could it be that I feel my arteries are clogging with margarine as i write this? Oh well..won't visiting this place again.

    Great way to start your day! I ordered the House Special --…read more3 Eggs Any Style (they know what over medium means - very nicely prepared) Served with a POUND of ham off the bone, served with homemade hash browns and choice of toast or buttermilk pancakes. (Waitress let me get one cake and one toast) Read that again -- ONE POND of succulent ham off the bone. I always take away enough for another couple of sandwiches later. Makes this a very cost effective breakfast. Also, look at the pic of the tea service. TWO teabags, honey, FRESH lemon slices and enough hot water for 1.5 cups. I put both bags into the pot and it came out English Breakfast dark. A very proper cuppa. My server Kristine kept making helpful suggestions while I ordered and was very attentive during the entire meal. A true professional. I will be returning to try the entrees and sammies, but for breakfast I am sticking to this platter full of juicy ham n eggs.

    We stopped into Shoreline Brewery while visiting Michigan City because it was unbearably hot…read moreoutside and we needed somewhere to cool off before we could check into our hotel. We ordered the Elote Pizza, and overall it was really good. It had a nice wood-fired crust that was probably the highlight of the meal. The only downside was that it came with a garlic aioli that was very heavy...there was so much on the pizza that it overpowered some of the other flavors. I think it would have been even better with a lighter hand. For drinks, I had one of their sour beers and my husband ordered an IPA. Both were good, but neither really stood out as anything particularly memorable. We sat at the bar, and the bartender was friendly and took good care of us. The layout of the brewery was a little unexpected. We walked into the main entrance, then the host brought us back outside and over to a separate building where the bar is located. It was a little confusing at first, but it ended up being a neat setup. The restaurant was clean, with a spacious dining room and a nice-looking patio. The only thing that kept this from being a higher rating was the value. It felt a little expensive for what we ordered, and while everything was solid, nothing really wowed us. Overall, I'm glad we stopped in, especially as a place to escape the heat for a while. If you're in the area and looking for a casual meal and a local beer, it's worth checking out...I just wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to visit again.

    Went for dinner, and was asked to pay $5 cover because a band was playing outside. Sat outside and…read moreband packed up after a couple of songs. Spoke to the manager who was very unapologetic and didn't seem to care about treating your customers well. Pretty much said that's their policy even if you happen to come just 5 mins before close. Food was average, their "award winning" lamb burger was not medium rare as stated on the menu. The only saving grace was our waitress who was very attentive and empathetic. Will not venture here again nor will recommend anyone to go here.
