Today, my coworker and I stopped in and I got a loaded potato and cookie. Again, salads are great, was just in the mood for a potato and did not know what to expect. I got the BBQ potato at the owner's suggestion. I asked about their cookies because I didn't want to get one if they were not made there. Well, they are made there and they are huge and delicious. The potato was also incredible, perfectly cooked. We were treated like VIPs. The wait was not too long, and the restaurant was clean and well maintained. The price is a "little" higher than just going to a regular chain, but for the quality, service and to support a small business it is WORTH it. You need to check it out if you have not yet.

The flatbreads were really good, light, flavorful, and not overly heavy. The salad was delicious as well. The potato bowls had great toppings and plenty of flavor, although I think the potatoes themselves could have used a little salt or butter. One of the bowls was also a little cold in the center, but otherwise everything was really good. The inside is clean and welcoming, with a couple of picnic tables for seating and some cute shelves with little items for sale. Most importantly, the owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming.

Honestly, because it's "health food" I always thought the price would be high. I clicked on their profile on DoorDash and was shocked about the price! What? No more expensive than Culver's or what I get at Penn Station. I looked through the menu and ordered the chicken teriyaki bowl and a side of sweet potatoes, just because it sounded good. Wow-I have found my new favorite spot! This food is sooo good! The flavor is amazing-truly blown away. All of it was cooked to perfection, and while you get the smoothness of the quinoa and chicken, you get the crunch of the fresh veggies. I'm truly blown away. Great food options at great prices. Highly recommend!

August 13, 2026 So glad my wife and I chose this local place…read moreto eat dinner in South Bend. It was very good food prepared fresh. The server was personable and very helpful. We got there around 5:00 PM while things were just getting busy. It had a nice vibe to it. You could tell people enjoy coming here. I started off the order with an item off their monthly menu specials. The muffuletta pizza. Very nice with a great flavor. My wife loved every bite of her braised beef sliders and cole slaw. We also have this obsession with ordering Brussels sprouts when we go out and they're available. I will give the sprouts 3 out of 5 because they had way too much balsamic vinegar on them. This rating doesn't bring my overall rating down because it's likely they are very good any other time. As if all that weren't enough to eat, we ordered the 8" Cinnamon Streusel pizza with vanilla bean ice cream off their seasonal monthly menu. Oh boy was that good!! If given the opportunity to come back to South Bend, this will be my go to place. PS... I'm not a beer drinker, but it seems they have lots of craft beer on tap. It's considered a gastropub. There's plenty of seating inside and outside. Some outside seating is covered and nice of it raining but still warm out. There is a patio area that's quite large. It looks like and has a feel of a biergarten.

I had not been back to The Lauber in a while when visiting South Bend, so I went twice this time!…read moreOn Friday, my friend and I stopped in for a happy hour drink as I remember they made a fantastic Expresso Martini, complete with three coffee beans floating on top! It was just as good as the last time I was here. On Saturday, I ordered takeout for us since I was staying in the downtown area. I ordered the Power Salad (full order to share), and it was a nice mixture of arugula, spinach, quinoa, dried blueberries, toasted almonds, goat cheese, grape tomatoes and red onion, with green goddess dressing on the side. It was a plentiful salad and very tasty. I would definitely order this salad again! For dinner, I had the Rigatoni Chicken Pasta, which was advertised as their house specialty. The rigatoni noodles were accompanied with seasoned chicken and a nicely spiced mushroom cream sauce, which was divine. I wish there was more chicken (at least in my dish) as it was minimal at best. My friend ordered the Tropic Burger, medium well, with beer battered fries. The burger was topped with pulled pork and bacon with a tasty jalapeno sauce she just loved. The burger was so big she even had half of it for the next day. Overall, another great experience at The Lauber. Looking forward to my next visit when I get to South Bend.

Looked like an interesting place. Goodness, it was NOT disappointing! Vibe inside was eclectic, colorful, and fun. Our server was fabulous! Friendly but not obtrusive. Knew the menu well. Did everything with a smile! We started with their fresh made guac and the best freshly made tortilla chips we've ever had in a restaurant. We shared the verde salad...spinach, arugula, chocio corn, white beans, grilled avocado slices, jicama, pepitas, honey garlic dressing. Kinda exciting to get a salad unlike any other! So good! Hubby had the Chochinita Pibil...yucatan slow-roasted pork with all the fixings (look at the menu for details) and accompanied by their freshly made, banana leaf wrapped corn tortillas. I had the Peruvian Street Chicken, stacked high on the plate with, among other things, olive tapenade and the most delicious charred lightly smashed potatoes. It was HUGE and easily could have served 2-3 people (needless to say, we doggie-bagged mire than half of it!). Again, unique and taste-bud exploding flavors! Hubby tried, and enjoyed, their hose brewed Mexican lager which he says was crisp and malty. I cannot fail to mention the beverage I tried (on server's recommendation), the Mole Dream Mezcalita. Spicy. Cold. Good to the last savored sip! Will we go again? YES! Might even bring some friends for a quick road trip!

The eggplant was also very good as well, it does have furikake on top. The impossible buns were just ok. Service was friendly, food came out pretty fast. Overall a good experience.
