Amazing burgers and brews!! Food was fresh and on point!! They have a chalkboard that has all daily specials..brews and best eats. The one down side is the place is slightly small and cramped, but their dynamite food and beer makes up for it! Don't miss this place!! read more

The burgers are the best in the area by far! Also have a great beer and cocktail selection.

Great hamburgers great food great service. The only thing I would suggest is they need to get regular sodas in there. Not everyone likes a natural homemade beverage. read more

I don't even have pictures to post because we scarfed our food down. Amazing burgers, fries, tots, and cocktails. Awesome service and vibes!!! Can't wait to come back! read more

Very good food! They don't have the kids menu posted but they were accommodating of our two youngsters :) my husband and I got the burger with onion rings and it was good!!! Great burgers. I got a side of sweet potato tots and it came with homemade honey mustard that was excellent! My husband got the fries which were really tasty - they were homemade and super crispy and delicious. I liked both but the fries were way good! My son loved his kids burger and my daughter got the grilled cheese which she said was good as well. It's a small restaurant but very unique and cool on the inside. read more

The best burger place in the area! The signature Figgy Piggy burger is not to be missed with the sweet potato tots and honey ground mustard sauce on the side. Highly recommend the lavender gin & tonic too. They do a great job and service was outstanding. When we travel to Chesterton it is our favorite place to stop for a yummy meal. read more

Delicious burgers and beers, would go back if in the area again. Entire family enjoyed.

Cute small place downtown in the historic district. Good draft beer selection and the lines seemed well maintained. My jerk chicken sandwich was amazing. The house salad dressing was fresh and very refreshing. My wife had the macaroni entree with chicken. She said it tasted fine but a tiny portion. Pasta is cheap to make so no one should go home hungry after ordering a pasta entree. Also no diet cola. We heard at least 4 people try and order a Diet Coke while we were there. Pretty simple to keep it around read more

I loved the small town feel, the food was great and cocktails were very tasty. Our waitress gave us great suggestions and offered great customer service. read more

The food was really good and the service was too. Great beer selection and mixed drinks. Would go again!

Traveling with my husband for business. Very long car ride and we made it around 5 pm yesterday. Got a quick workout in and he told me I HAD to try this place out. He frequents the area and said it is incredible. It was sooo good. Out of Sauvignon Blanc so went for the Chardonnay. Fried Cheese Burger with tots. Hubby had the fish sandwich with fries. Couple of old fashions. Worth the splurge on calories. You only live once! A must do when in the area. The staff is super nice and the food is incredible. Listen to the hubby. read more

Great food & nice atmosphere for dining in. Very nice staff. Clean and well kept. Great service

The atmosphere was very friendly and upbeat. The staff were terrific. We all loved our food: the Cuban got rave reviews, the chicken dishes were a big hit, I had the black bean burger which was very flavorful and had a very satisfying texture. My side salad was very fresh and tasty and the house coleslaw was unique and delicious. I wish we lived close so that we could visit regularly. read more

A small hole in the wall restaurant with some of the best sandwiches we've ever had. Our family of four stopped in to grab dinner, and although had to wait for a table due to it being pretty small inside, the time went fast. The food was excellent! We're from out of town, but would recommend and will hit it again if ever in Chesterton! read more

I ordered the chanute burger - medium well done - which consists of 15 crimini mushrooms, pepper jack cheese, bacon, blue cheese sauce, greens, tomato, onion. It was honestly one of the best burgers I have ever had in my life, so I'm rating this place 5 of 5 stars. It's worth the trip. There are other selections on the menu if you aren't into burgers - my gf had the sloppy Joe which she loved (it was a bit too sweet for my taste - but I really don't like sweet food so don't trust me on that one) Again, I highly recommend the burgers because the one I had blew me away. I wish I lived around here just to have another. I ordered my burger with a side of buffalo tots. They were really good as well. They also have plenty of beers on tap or in cans - as well wine and cocktails. Chesterton doesn't seem to have much - but this place makes it all worthwhile. Seating isn't plentiful ... so I imagine on a busy night there might be a bit of a wait. We came on a Sunday however, and got seated immediately. Again - this was honestly one of the best hamburgers I have ever had. Can't say enough good things about it. read more

This place is amazing. The perch cakes are fantastic, also the sloppy Joes. My personal favorite is the figgy piggy. But don't take my say so, you need to stop and have a bite. read more

I think my husband got a salad he was happy with, but I got a burger and it was fabulous. Tiny place and reviews we read said get there early, We did, but still had to sit at the bar. I would come again if I was in the area. We were on vacation. read more

Excellent impossible double smash burger, perfectly cooked fresh fries, chili garlic edamame was delicious. Great drinks and craft sodas!

We absolutely love this place, from the drinks to the incredible burgers. The bacon fat garlic fries are top notch. We've tried the figgy piggy, hot pant (my favorite because of the 3 amazing onion rings on the burger, it's like it's own appetizer), my fiance loves the claw hammer which also has onion rings, goat cheese and ciabbata bread, this is his favorite. Everything we've tried from the apps to desserts are incredible!!! read more

I ordered the hamburguesa, Denver burger with fries, Chanute burger with sweet potatoe tots and the fish sandwich with coleslaw along with fried pickles. Everything was delicious. read more

Small town burger spot with big flavor on the menu! Octave Grill offers unique burgers and homemade desserts!

Happened into this place on a whim and couldn't be happier. Staff is very nice and attentive. Since our first time there, we have gone back three more times. Burgers are all fantastic, but the southern chicken sandwich is unbelievable! It's now the new high standard for chicken in our house. Cute little interior with limited but adequate seating. Would definitely recommend! read more

Our party of 15 (7 kids) just had an amazing experience at Octave Grill. This restaurant was able to promptly seat our party, take our order and serve delicious food. Our waitress was super patient and made great recommendations. They have a very tasty grass fed burger and were able to accommodate our gluten and dairy allergies. My kids ate their side salads without complaining because the house salad dressing is sooo good. Our entire party loved this restaurant so I highly recommend it! read more

Good food but not as good as we had hoped. Very small and gets loud but the menu is unique. Probably wouldn't go again if I was in town. Good service, just slow. read more

My husband placed the empty hummus platter to the side of the table too quickly. As the waitress came to bus the platter away, I swooped in and grabbed the bowl to smear my last piece of pita around the bowl to ensure not one drop of that delicious hummus was left to waste. The waitress laughed and I was completely unashamed of my greed. Speaking of the waitresses, they were friendly and attentive and gave great service. I usually like a more subdued ambiance, but they played great music and it just seemed to add to the experience in a positive way. My husband had the Chanute burger and I had the "Fish Sandwich"...best fish sandwich of my life. If only this place wasn't three hours from home. Now I have to figure out how to blacken Maui Maui... read more

The food was great, and the service was fantastic. Our kids enjoyed a burger and the Buffalo fries. I enjoyed the macaroni and cheese and a side salad while my husband had the jerk chicken sandwich. It was all very good, and the beer flight was a nice variety. read more

Killer tall grass fed beef burgers. My all-time fave is the figgy piggy-goat cheese with fig jam and greens on top. Don't forget to upgrade to sweet potato tots. They also serve homemade chocolate chip warm brownie dessert. Signature cocktails and craft beer read more

I would recommend. It's like you're in someone's dining room and they're cooking a nice meal for you.

Really phenomenal and unique burgers -- I had the figgy piggy and it was delicious. Definitely rich, which makes sense with the goat cheese, but so so good. My husband had the southern fried chicken sandwich and loved it. The fried pickles were pretty good -- although I prefer slightly more pickle than breading. The perch cakes were good and had a lot of fish in them, but weren't my favorite dish of everything we ordered. The wait staff was quick and friendly. Overall would highly recommend! read more

Love me some Octave! The figgy piggy burger is delicious. Every time I come here that's my go-to and it is cooked just right every time. I also love the selection of bottled sodas, especially the root beer. All the appetizers are great and I really could chow down some Buffalo fries as a side any day! read more

The food was not bad. Not much for ambiance. Customer service was ok. Everything was just alright.

We are from six states away and had a recommendation for this place. What a Gem or lucky find! Even a Wisconsin boy would be impressed with the cheese curds The burger and Cuban not only well prepared but had an inventive twist. But honestly, the great service was the icing on the cake. Leslie was the most personable, joyful and knowledgeable server we have had in a long time. read more

After hiking 7 miles at the Indiana National Dunes, we needed a good bite to eat. We stopped at Octave Grill in Chesterton, IN. We ordered an appetizer of fried pickles that came with ranch and chipotle sauce, one root beer and one cream soda to drink. The lad ordered a Rueben-esque , The Bom, burger with fries and cole slaw. I ordered the Hamburgesea with tots as a side. The food was delicious, the music playlist was rocking, the decor was cute, bathrooms were clean, and severs were friendly. read more

Great little place think a lot of locals which always means good food. The tots appetizer delicious ate so many was hard to eat our dinner and took the remaining home for later. Had the burger of the day and the figgy burger. Great quality of beef, all the toppings are fresh and great flavor. The topping pairings are spot on, fig jam was sweet but the goat cheese balanced it out. Will be back next time in town. If I had a detractor it would be that it is very loud with all the conversations but a very nice place. read more

A MUST in Chesterton!! We picked up some burgers, tots and fries and HOLY MOLY, yall! One of the best burgers I've had in a long time. The restaurant has such a cool, cozy vibe and the servers were friendly. We had a beer while we waited for our burgers, which did not take long at all. Highly recommend trying something different on your burger! I am sure their plain jane burgers are delicious too - but with all the variety they have you'd be crazy not to try something fun! The figgy piggy was incredible - a little on the sweeter side and absolutely packed with flavor! We requested it on a pretzel bun and it was incredible. We also ordered the denver (omit the ham) and we were so satisfied! Between the two, they hit the spot. The tots were amazing - the mustard served with them, delicious! and the fries were also good. Couldn't say a bad thing about this place. read more

Dear Small Towns, Your patrons deserve more than the food you buy at GFS and Sysco. Why not partner up with your local purveyors and bring to the table food made with local ingredients? Take Octave Grill in small-town Chesterton, IN. I give their food quality a 10/10 because not only are they using grass-fed beef, but also they've teamed up with local businesses including Fair Oaks Farms, Kenny's Farmhouse Cheese, and Gunthrop Farms. You can taste the difference in their burgers and sandwiches, which is why I'll always recommend them to friends visiting the area. Bravo to Octave Grill for rising above burger mediocrity and bringing downtown Chesterton a special place to dine that is full of local biz love. I hope other establishments will follow suit. Kindest Regards, Allison Lover of all things local read more
