Sun King Taps

Love their beer!! My favorite is the Orange Vanilla Cream Ale...I am going home with the back of the Jeep packed full. We also ate at the attached place 'Bieb & Ash'. Our Sun King helper (bar tender) was Bella...she was an amazing help. Great beverages, nice clean place, and a must visit spot in Mishawaka, IN.

This is a pretty new place in the heart of downtown, where I had high hopes for a brew pub....but...it was an average Friday evening with maybe half the tables and seats at the bar taken, and you simply could not hear yourself think, let alone speak to someone at your own table, due to the noise! The bartenders were very busy...on their phones...and not really paying attention to people at the bar, which is where I usually sit to get great service and expertise on what's on tap. The beer...it was just average or ok, nothing special, despite the large selection on tap. The atmosphere really turned us off, and it's unlikely we would come back unless we were with a group of people and didn't really care about the quality of the product. Overall, 3 stars is probably giving them the benefit because I'd personally give it 2 stars if it wasn't a nice-looking place!

Ambience - 4/5 Service - 3/5 (waitstaff was friendly but you have to go up to the counter to order food) Food and drink - 2/5 Value - 3/5 If there wasn't outdoor seating and friendly service, I'm not sure it would be worth coming back. We tried their new food menu with their restaurant and it was quite the disappointment. The flatbread was more like a giant cracker with a light smear of sauce and sprinkled veggies. It lacked flavor and left us hungry. We got a flight of different beers, half were good, the other half were okay. I ordered one of their IPAs in a pint and it tasted like a lager, I couldn't finish it. Hopefully as the kitchen gets used to the menu, things will improve.

Nice new addition to Mishawaka. For starters, their inside space is large enough to accommodate groups who will visit in the winter months. But during good weather, spring through fall in northern Indiana, people can also enjoy their outdoor Biergarten. Great beer choices, the orange cream ale was delicious, and friendly service. Smash & Trash is their food vendor who serves smash burgers and tacos was pretty good too.

Guac smash burger and fries.

Mishawaka is my childhood home and my parents still live there... Trust me, I don't know why ... I joke, I joke... It was nice to hear there is an establishment such as this that would put there faith in Mishawaka, and I'm so glad to see the whole River Walk area being developed so well. (I remember being in that spot as a young boy watching the Uniroyal building be imploded by tons of boom-booms.) Okay, on to the beer and environment. It's a pretty cool place with a nice outdoor space. Most of the employees are friendly. I only tried a couple of the beers, Sun King has a couple I can get down with. That's good. It's nice to know they just opened one in Sarasota, FL - which isn't far from me. Make plans to check out Sun King Mishawaka!

Great open setting with large windows and lots of light for a lively atmosphere. Some TV's showing sports but not to many, and a lot of staff always following up on you. You order your food via walk up and then they text you when it's ready. Food is basic burgers and bar food but done well, but the main attraction is the beer. A good mix of a dozen or so beers on tap in the main building with a handful in the Biergarten across the way where you can also order from the same food place and enjoy the park setting it the main location is too busy. Orange Vanilla Sunlight and Strawberry Roundup are good summer choices.

I don't like having to get up and go to the counter to order food. Food was ok but nothing special. Drink service was good.

Yum and more yum. Our son and daughter-in-law brought us to The Crooked Ewe for dinner and…read moreeverything was beyond delicious! My son and I had the smoked chicken sandwich, my daughter-in-law ordered the Bahn Mi and my husband ordered pastrami. Of course we all had to share and taste everything. All in all, everything was very tasty, including the fries cooked in beef tallow. The drinks were great and the wait staff beyond friendly and helpful. Thank you, Crooked Ewe!

We were visiting South Bend for a Notre Dame home game, and as you can imagine, finding a place to…read moreeat for a group of 8 after the game can be a struggle! We called Crooked Ewe, and they were kind enough to hold a table for us. As it turned out, the patio was perfect for a larger group on a Saturday evening. The atmosphere is laid-back and easygoing. Inside has that cozy, small-brewery feel, while the patio gives you a gorgeous view of the river. Our service was great - friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Overall, we really enjoyed the food, although I thought some of the Asian-inspired dishes could use a little refinement. I ordered the bibimbap bowl with fried cauliflower, cucumbers and onions, shredded carrots and daikon, and kimchi fried rice. The cauliflower was easily the star here! Though the fried rice and other accompaniments could use a bit more flavor and texture. That said, the BBQ was A+. I added a side of brisket, and it was probably some of the best brisket I've ever had. It's a thicker cut and melts in your mouth. My husband and FIL also raved about the wings. One thing to note for families: there isn't a kids menu, but my son was perfectly happy with a cheeseburger and fries. All in all, Crooked Ewe was a great find for our group. We'd definitely come back, especially for those wings and brisket!

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.
