    The service was great. The food was amazing. This was our first time here and we'd definitely come back. We ordered the platter to get a good variety of everything they offer. We did the spicy sauce. It is not super spicy so it's good for everyone. We did get the smoked bologna to go. It was huge! All of the food was worth the price.

    GOOD FOOD

    Cool little card collection on the front desk really gives it a great atmosphere right when you walk in. Quick to get your food and a good selection of meats. The fries are killer amazing pit master dog and the Mississippi nachos are a must!!

    I have been hearing about northside for MONTHS now. My roommates are from La Porte and they rave about this place on the daily. I loved the atmosphere. Super small, old style place with checkered table cloths, old pictures on the wall, and paper plates and utensils. The owner was super nice, told me I HAD to come back and try the brisket... I'm planning on it. I got the pulled pork dinner with cheese fries and sweet BBQ and hot BBQ. It was delicious! The cheese sauce was alright, good enough to order again but could've been more flavorful. It all cost about 12 dollars. Planning on going back this week and trying the brisket and Mississippi nachos. YUM. Y'all go stop at this place it's delicious.

    Tennessee Tater

    So we stayed at Pine Lake in LaPorte, IN for the weekend. My wife and I sell our own BBQ sauces and rubs online, compete in competitions and have started some catering. We wanted to see what LaPorte had to offer for nearby BBQ joints. Northside BBQ was across from the lake and others we talked to said to give it a try. Just walking in you could smell that awesome smell of smoked meats. Walk up counter style ordering and the decor was old but had that BBQ restaurant rustic feel. If you are looking for some big BBQ chain with a full bar and TV's on every wall, then this is NOT your place. Real deal BBQ doesn't come with distractions from the food itself. My wife ordered the Tennessee Tater with spicy BBQ sauce and I had the pulled pork sandwich with sweet BBQ sauce. Sauce review: My wife found the spicy not to be that hot so she asked for a side of the "hot" bbq sauce. It is much more a Carolina style vinegar based sauce and was much spicier than the "spicy". The sweet sauce was definitely sweet. Could use maybe a tad more bite to it. On to the food review.... The Tennessee Tater is a baked potato covered in pulled pork, bacon, cheese, BBQ sauce and sour cream. She loved it! The marriage of all of those toppings just explodes that potato into a huge pile of BBQ deliciousness. As mentioned above, she did change up to go with the "hot" BBQ sauce which was more to her liking. I had the pulled pork sandwich with cheese fries. The cheese fries were definitely cheesy. The pork was just a tad dry but the sauce slathered that up so it wasn't that bad. Mixing the pork with the cheese fries was a match made in heaven as well. The meat had a good smoke flavor and was fresh so you could tell that it didn't just sit in a fridge for days. Overall, it was a good BBQ joint. A surprise to find it in LaPorte, IN of all places. I would recommend this to anyone who visits the lake and is looking for some down home BBQ.

    This is the best BBQ in La Porte. The brisket is amazing! The service is great bit the dine in experience could use some attention.

    Great pizza! The crust is so good and the pizza is amazing! It's a nice dine in experience! Only…read morebad thing is outside there is no handicap entrance.

    I first went to Aurelio's original restaurant in Homewood, IL probably 40 or more years ago…read more Chicago is a tough pizza town whether you're eating pizza in a pan, traditional thin or tavern crust. While Aurelio's pizza might not technically be considered "tavern crust", it is absolutely one of the best examples of a thin pizza I've had. Over the years, Aurelio's have expanded to many locations in several states and today we found ourselves in La Porte, IN to once again sample pizza excellence. Our large mushroom half sausage came in about 15 minutes after ordering and looked perfect. I was so excited to begin eating I forgot to take a picture so you'll have to trust me that it looked as good as it tasted. We always order a large even though we can only eat about half in one sitting. This pizza reheats so well that we enjoy the rest later or the next day. Hard to describe and even more difficult to grasp if you're not from the Chicago area but real Chicago pizzas have what I call a "purity of Ingredients" where everything goes together so well. Here, the sauce is subtle but dominant. Over the years I've probably been to maybe 10-12 Aurelio's locations and the consistency is unbelievable. Service was great and the pizza was better! The perfect ending to a quick weekend trip.
