Will say this def gave a young fun vibe in the inside. They were definitely playing some bangers!! If I'm honest I was blind so I couldn't see much but the vibes were amazing!! If I was able to see I would probably def enjoy the ambience more. Honestly I came for the food and not the bar itself lolz. Double cheeseburger 8/10 idk how you can mess up a cheeseburger but it tasted like a cheeseburger. The people were pretty nice and very helpful. Kinda sad that they had to still ID me for just food but hey it's bar so it's understandable lolz. If it was just food I would gladly east outside to not get ID'd lolz. But no complaints lolz.

This review is for their South Bend Restaurant Week for the winter of 2026 where you could get…read morethree courses for $33. Last night was my first visit to Fiddler's Hearth, despite wanting to check this place out ever since I started dating my boyfriend, who lives in South Bend, a year and a half ago! Their regular menu looks sooooo good and their restaurant week menu also looked good! Just a note - only 2 of the items on their restaurant week menu appear on the regular menu, so get these unique dishes while you can these next two weeks! Like I said, I have been wanting to check out this SB institution for ages! Inside is adorable and absolutely maximalist. My minimalist mom would have a heart attack coming in here. So despite it being -5 degrees out, Fiddler's Hearth was packed and we were glad we made reservations. It was the first day they had the special restaurant week so it did take 2 hours for us to get through and finish everything because the kitchen had to make all these new items but I won't fault the restaurant for that in my review today. I am sure it is normally a well-oiled machine. My bf and I both got different things off of the menu but ended up splitting so we could try lots of different Irish foods. We started off sipping in some unique alcoholic drinks. I got the shamrock coffee which had Baileys and mocha. He got the restaurant week special of a pear and allspice old fashioned. His drink was very strong. Mine was delightful and I was a happy camper sipping mine. Round one goes to me for choosing the best drink. The drinks were about $9 for the old fashioned and $7 for the spiked coffee. Next round was our first course, the appetizer. He got the steak pie (a mini version of the Guiness Steak Pie on the normal menu) for the appetizer which was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC and seasoned to perfection with lots of onions. I got the potato and leek colcannon cakes for the appetizer which were very leek heavy on the taste. I liked it but agreed his appetizer was the winner. Next up to the plate were our entrees. He paid $3 additional dollars for their take on a salmon wellington. It came with a side of brussel sprouts and potatoes. I chose to be a fatty and get the patty melt with medium rare prime rib, stone ground mustard, grilled onions, and a side of pretty yummy chips (ie French fries). It was a very wet sandwich haha. I personally think mine was the better one, while my bf thought his was the best. Sometimes, you just need a really wet and juicy sandwich!! Haha! Last but not least was our desserts. He was the winner here but just barely. His bread pudding was a calorie heavy delight, smothered in a white chocolate sauce. Mine was a cute little classic Irish dessert, a cranachan, which was sort of like a trifle. On top was a moist and chewy gingerbread cookie. In total, our bill was a little over $100 for tax and tip. A little expensive, sure, but we had a great time and came home very full! I will be back!

The service was good and the place was clean: I ordered the Pub Spuds and that's were the food started to go wrong the menu list an half order of pub spuds and a full order but the catch is the half order and the full order have completely different ingredients between them which doesn't make any sense so I ended up with some cold blue cheese covered fries and they were missing there bacon bits as well. I wish the server would have pointed that out because it's a very confusing way to list an item on the menu.
