Give me your best South Bend restaurants.
We've done all the crap on Eddy Street, and Parisi's, and whatever there is in the Morris Inn. We even did the steakhouse at the Four Winds Casino. They are all fine. Anyone have anything better?
We are going up for a non-football weekend, which would give us our best chance at a good meal.

"best South Bend"
Is that like Jumbo Shrimp? Military Intelligence?

BTW, how was the steakhouse at Four Winds?
I had brunch there once which can be an absurd exercise in gluttony if you choose. Looked at the steakhouse but decided I'd pass

It was overpriced, but good.
Certainly one of the best meals I've had in the area, and it seems unexpectedly good in the otherwise Walmart atmosphere of Four Winds. I guess I didn't know there was a Ruth's Chris.

Lasalle Grill. Ruth's Chris out by the mall in Granger is up to Ruth's Chris standards , which is
good for SB.
Since you're willing to go as far as New Buffalo apparently... Heston's Supper Club in LaPorte used to be pretty good (off the beaten path).
Artisan in Elkhart is supposed to be good...but I haven't been there.

Thanks. I think we are overdue to try LaSalle Grill
Now that you mention it, I've heard that recommended before.
We might try one the Elkhart one during a game weekend, since it might be closer to where we are staying. When we go up in a few weeks, we'll be right by campus.

I remember Tippecanoe Place being good, atmosphere-wise
Then again, this is 25 years ago now. Is Rocco's still there? They didn't used to card, if that helps.

Rocco's is still there. There is usually a wait, but it is good.

If that’s the place at the studebaker mansion, Avenue recommended that to me for brunch
and I made a reservation for when I help my kid move in for law school. The other place was LaSalle Grill. Going to do dinner there.

Seems like the options are a bit limited in the area. I don’t exactly live in a food Mecca.....
but the local pickings seem real slim there. Never paid much mind to it just going for football.
Been to some decent spots in Indy when we had an insurance client there. Figure it would be about the same.

They are given the size of the population there. Just not that much interest in upscale dining to
support a plethora of options I take it..
There are more upscale pubs and breweries of late, so casual dining may have gotten a bit better at least.

That's the place. Some say it has fallen off. I'd still recommend going there for brunch as it's a
cool venue with the history and brunch should still be fine.
