I tried a simple salad and was very disappointed; very ordinary and the fries were okay. I am big on good fries, occasionally and have tasted better at other local restaurants. I drive by this restaurant a lot and notice that there usually is a lot of people parked there. I notice they have a bar section that is next door and suspect more activity there. Maybe if I had tried a fish meal, it would have been better. The waitress was very pleasant. The interior is very humble, slightly rundown. They could benefit from being more creative and paint, decorate the place more. Atmosphere makes a lot of difference... The place has been here for many years

She and the entire staff were professional, organized, and made sure everything ran so smoothly. The groom and I barely had to think about anything going on behind the scenes, which allowed us to simply enjoy the night and spend time with our guests. We truly could not be happier with how our reception turned out. Having the food, bar, and hotel all right on the property was also incredibly convenient for us and our guests. We cannot thank Sandy and the staff enough for running such a wonderful reception hall and helping make our wedding day so special. We would absolutely recommend the Speakeasy to anyone looking for a wedding venue!

Website does not make it clear! I want to preface, I had frequented the Spa restaurant in the 1970-1990's. The ambiance and history of the place made it so charming, along w the raccoon show! I am thrilled someone is keeping the speakeasy alive! So many wonderful memories!! With that said, I don't live " down the street" so to speak. We come out on Sunday's to hike the nearby trails or use the beaches. With the area now designated as a National Lakeshore, it would be to this establishments benefit to open from 11 am /12pm on Saturday & Sunday! If I knew they would be open, I'd love to stop in after spending time at the National Park! You're losing business to Wagner's!

My boyfriend and I stopped here for lunch on our way back to Chicago. It was right off I-90, which…read morewas very convenient. The restaurant itself looks to be in a gutted out auto shop. It's large inside with lots of seating and TVs, and there is a smell of cigarette smoke when you walk in. You do get used to it, but if the smoking diners aren't your jam, there's plenty of outdoor patio seating. I should also note that no one was wearing a mask, which seems common in Indiana, so the outdoor seating is there if you're freaked about covid. The waitress was also tending the bar and was FANTASTIC. She was nice, quick with our drinks, and checked in on us. The prices were lower than most.. a double bloody was under $7! And one of the best i've ever had. We both had the hangover burger, and the meat was fresh and perfectly cooked ( I did catch a glimpse of the kitchen - the cooks looked to be flame broiling their burgers.. yummm) the lettuce and tomato were crisp and juicy, and the fries were the perfect fluffy on the inside- crunchy on the outside texture. They were piping hot and the batter on them was insanely good. If you're traveling across the state line and looking for a quick bite to eat that won't break the bank, check this place out. We will definitely be back when we're in town again.

But if you are looking to sit down and have a meal don't bother. The menu is finger food such as fries, pretzel rolls, and other bar food. The only big meal they offer is a frozen pizza which costs $16.00. So if you are looking for a beer and a meal I would highly recommend going somewhere else. I originally came here because the menu online showed a variety of food which they don't offer any of!

The first time a friend and I stopped in, the bartender blatantly overcharged is on everything and then refused to refund our debit card 6, rather refunding cash. There's nothing like trying to run fraud she's on new customers. Tonight, my son and I stopped in. There were only 3 customers at the bar when we sat down, but the bartender was far more interested in talking to 1 of them than addressing us. FYI, it was a less than professional conversation, leaning in much more intimately. When she was done with her chat, she proceeded to the kitchen to hang out for a couple minutes, only popping out to glare at us again while on the phone. Finally, after a couple more minutes with no sign of our bartender, we left. This place offers mediocre food (on a good day) and a pathetic beer selection. While I am all to happy to patronize a local establishment, even with subpar offerings, I'm not going to pay for such pathetic service. Take your money elsewhere. There are many far better establishments who value their customers, all within 5-10 minutes drive. Keep driving when you see the sign for The Sportsman.

Well I wanted pizza one day and they were only five minutes away. I don't know if it was because I was hungry but I must tell you the pizza was just great!! I've spent a fair amount of time in my youth in bars and I can't tell you how many pizzas I bought in those bars and paid almost $15 for a $5 pizza. I've watched the bartenders open a frozen pizza and toss it in a pizza oven and 15 minutes later they toss the cardboard in front of you. Well I don't know what "High-X" does because I didn't see them make it but man that pizza was great!! Maybe it was a fluke or maybe it was the fact I was just hungry for a bar pizza without having to travel to Laporte to pick one up but I will for sure be ordering more. I sit here thinking it can't be a fluke, it didn't look like a frozen pizza, the cheese was not skimpy. It was covered with cheese with plenty of sausage. I gotta say I think they put more cheese than at those hip n trendy pizza places with the white tile piece as a mascot. I didn't even ask for extra cheese. So if it is a frozen pizza and if this reviewer has been misled then High-X does the trick!! I will go back to test my theory and see if a second pizza is the same. Then a third to seal the deal!! It's a bar, you don't expect much from a bar on the side of the road but this place caught my eye with that delicious circle of pizza, "High-X" I'm coming back I hope we can forum a lasting pizza relationship on those days that I crave a bar pizza!! Keep up the good work and I'll let you know about pizza #2 and #3!!
