Outdoor Dining Returns: Patios and Courtyards Locals Look Forward To Each Year
It's spring, and the weather is finally warming up. Time to enjoy it by eating outdoors! There are plenty of restaurants near South Bend homes for sale and St. Joseph homes for sale that offer patio dining with fresh air, beautiful views, and delicious food. Here are some of our favorites.
South Bend's Best Outdoor Bites
Pejza's Lydick Patio - South Bend, IN
26444 Edison Rd., South Bend, IN 46628
If you want to enjoy a cozy, home-cooked meal outdoors, head to Pejza's Lydick Patio. Everything is freshly made, from scratch, in this family-run restaurant. And they use seasonal ingredients sourced from nearby farms, ensuring everything is:
- Fresh
- Local
- Sustainable
The result is amazing food, from their breaded pork tenderloin to their bacon jam burger to Grandma Pejza's Hungarian Goulash. Bring the whole family and enjoy dinner outdoors as you watch the sunset.
The Lauber - South Bend, IN
504 E Lasalle Ave., Suite 2, South Bend, IN 46617
If you want a casual place for a bite and a drink, check out The Lauber. First built in 1890 as a metal roofing factory, it's now a restaurant and bar with a truly impressive list of wines, beers, and liquors. Try Brandy, You're a Fine Drink, infused with blackberry and mixed with lemon juice and vanilla simple syrup. Then have an artisan pizza with traditional thin crust, or a gluten-free cauliflower crust and vegan cheese. They also have live music and other events on the patio throughout the summer.
Evil Czech Brewery - Mishawaka, IN
3703 N Main St., Mishawaka, IN 46545
If you want to enjoy a quick meal on your lunch break that's unique and delicious, Evil Czech Brewery has you covered. Their Lightnin' Lunch is an all-you-can-eat experience with a rotating selection of small plates, buffet-style, to enjoy on the go. Their selection of house-brewed beers also rotates regularly, but includes a wide variety of:
- IPAs
- Pilsners
- Belgian, Wheat, and Pale Ales
And be sure to join the Mug Club, which earns you special discounts, event invitations, and the opportunity to reserve your favorite table - outside on the patio, of course. Located near Mishawaka homes for sale, it's a great place to enjoy great food with great friends.
No. 6 - South Bend, IN
701 Portage Ave., South Bend, IN 46616
There's no telling what you'll get at No. 6, but it's guaranteed to be delicious. The menu at this former fire station-turned-modern scratch kitchen changes daily, depending on what fresh, local ingredients are available that day. Trust the chefs and surrender to the experience. Dining at Scratch Kitchen is exclusively for those 21 and over, making it a great place for a date night, outdoors on the patio.
Crooked Ewe - South Bend, IN
1047 Lincolnway E., South Bend, IN 46601
The patio at Crooked Ewe includes a gorgeous view of the river. Go there for Weekend Brunch and enjoy the view along with Pog Juice Mimosas and Coquito French Toast. And be sure to ask about Club Membership, which includes perks like:
- $1 off all beers
- Daily food discounts
- Exclusive T-Shirt
Plus, your beers are served in an Imperial, 20-oz pint glass instead of the standard, 16-oz glass. A great place for a drink and a bite, dining at Crooked Ewe is an experience not to be missed.
