What a great place to go for lunch. Very chill vibes and got to see the bridge move for the boat. Margaritas are on point. The beyond burger was good too..

After visiting Washington Park Zoo we needed a place that has gluten free options for our Gand daughter. The staff was friendly and the food was good.

First of all, It's Dog Friendly and love it. The food was good. Loved the Crab Cakes and Calamari. Felt quite expensive for this type of restaurant, but being it a small town and local restaurant, it's nice... The views from the restaurant is nice, along the river and railway track... Depends on where you sit. Hope the drinks are nice.. will try it next time.

Cool place to hang out, although very windy when we were there. Ate inside and watched people get windblown sitting outside. Salmon sandwich was really good. The best part was Elijah (spp). She was super sweet. Always had a smile on her face. She made the place worth our visit

Super fun atmosphere! We stopped in for lunch on Memorial Day. The service was wonderful and the food was so yummy! We both got the burger. Super great portions for the price. The sweet potato fries were perfectly crispy!!

Nice ride to go to on your small boat since they have 6 slips for docking. Food was excellent! Waitress suggested the italian beef, it was one of the best beef sandwiches I've ever had. Cheese curds great, sweet potato fries, great. Husband had a burger and it was great too. I have not one complaint on food or service. My only suggestion is more shade.

Bridges Waterside Grille is a cozy lakeside gem with good food, a terrific harbor location in Michigan City IN and enough chill vibe to change the trajectory of your day, if need be. I stopped by recently and was happy to grab a seat at the bar. My bartender, Leshia, was welcoming, conscientious and delightful, in general. I ordered my favorite there, the Italian Beef Sandwich. Once again, it did not disappoint! With Pepper Jack Cheese, Pepperoncinis, au jus and natural cut fries, I was in my heaven. Absolutely delicious! You can never go wrong with this sandwich if you're a carnevor. If not, there's plenty of other good options, vegan, vegetarian, etc. Bridges Waterside Grille is a fun, family friendly place to go. Its nautical environment is definitely an attraction for kids and adults alike. Check out this unique, off the beaten path treasure of a place

I love this place. My sweet potato fries were overdone and my friend didn't like her fish tacos today but we still love it here. The atmosphere is amazing. Dogs are welcome. The location is fun. The food is usually great. My pork was great. The bartender made some nice virgin drinks for us since I don't drink. I'm happy to come here again and again. Great place.
