Nortdside Diner in Chesterton

Small diner. Great food and friendly service!

Interesting menu. Good food. Musty smell when we entered the restaurant. Less noticeable where we were seated.

The food is delicious and have good sized portions. I found the staff to be friendly and very efficient. I would recommend this establishment for anyone ,young and old alike, with it's offerings.

My family and I have gone to Northside Diner for years and this time the service was the worst I have ever experienced. It is sad when a small town diner goes downhill.

Quaint little diner. Good food. Nice people. Great staff. Laid back.

Everyone was super super friendly. The diner is small but quaint and a huge blast to the past. The food was absolutely fantastic. It's also right next to the train tracks, meaning trains go by are least every 10 minutes which I personally love and so did my niece.

Always a pleasure Everytime I go in for some good food, always get the fried pepperjack cheese cubes, u can never go wro g with there fat fluffy pancakes or the biscuits and gravy

Nice little hometown diner. We will eat there again when we visit the Dunes

Northside diner is one of the best restaurants in Chesterton. I come here at least once a month! There are so many options for breakfast and lunch and the food is always cooked perfectly. And the coffee is some of the best in town. To top it all off the owner is one of the nicest woman I've ever met! She is so friendly and loves to meet her costumers. This place is a must if you haven't gone yet!!

I came here when I was staying at Indiana Dunes State Park. I had visited Chicago, but this restaurant was the most memorable the whole time I was there. Everything I had was amazing. Absolutely recommend.

Great food, good prices, friendly service.

Northside has been excellent every time we go

First time customer. Met our son there to celebrate his birthday. Great food. Outstanding service. We plan to go back.

Service was great, a homely and welcoming feel to the place. We only had drinks and desserts so will save food for then future. A proper old-school diner feel to it, even has a juke box!

Quick service. Coffee cup stayed full. Delicious food!

Looking for a small town diner? This is the place! Food is served quickly and efficiently and my coffee is always full! Plus, I've met some pretty unique individuals during a couple of my visits. Never a dull experience! Highly recommend.

I hate writing bad reviews but this place was sub par at best. We got in and seated fairly quickly even though it was getting busy but we waited a really long time for our food. We watched 3-4 tables get their food before us and we had ordered before they even sat down. We also ordered from the “Chicks” portion of the menu that said was supposed to come with toast and potatoes. We later found out our orders didn’t come with those things but that should be specified on the menu. It’s really confusing. The pancake was huge but was kind of doughy. We then waited a really long time for our bill. Overall highly disappointed after reading such good reviews before coming here.

Good food a little wait because of the holiday weekend

I like it a lot. It is a good rail-fanning spot and the food is doable plus it is a quaint vibe.

The food was delicous and the atmosphere was a cozy throwback with pictures of celebrities across the walls. To top it off, the owner came up and gave each of my kids a quarter for the gumball machine.

Great little breakfast and lunch spot! Friendly service, great atmosphere, perfect little diner! It can get really busy on Saturdays and Sundays but totally worth the wait. Their biscuits and gravy are the best in the area!!! If you are in the area or just traveling the highways and looking for a great local diner, stop in...you will not be disappointed!!!

Service was great. The atmosphere was like the old 50's diners. But the food was even more amazing. The price was very affordable. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended. Just like the good old days.

Very pleasant, good service , good food , one of my favorite places to eat.

It’s very hard to find a good old school dinner. I’m a restaurant chain hater. As I walked in the atmosphere was dreamy old photos of Elvis, John Wayne, and the Beatles on the walls. Waylon Jennings on the kitchen stereo and the staff was very intuitive coffee full at all times friendly and helpful I loved this restaurant and hope I can revisit in the future

It is like stepping back in time. Real sweet waitresses.

The menu portrayed this as a fun dinner and I wasn't disappointed. The menu displays four pages of creative breakfast options...I mean how many ways can you present eggs?In the end I ordered homemade lentil soup and Dutch apple pie. The soup was amazing and the not too sweet pie chocked full of apples. My husband ordered classic open faced pot roast sandwich with fresh mashed potatoes that arrived with a nice portion of real gravy. His coconut cream pie was equally attractive and delicious.Now I must return for breakfast...

Excellent food, nostalgic prices

Great breakfast!! We haven't tried anything else on the menu but looks grea! One thing they should offer is flavored coffee creams. It would get my extra star.

Good food but didn't get mine until everyone else had already finished their meal. Wouldn't probably go back.

If driving along 94 this place is well worth the extra drive from the typical interstate exit fare. If your in the Region looking for breakfast, this is a great option. Terrific service and a cool retro look.

Breakfast was tasty. I ordered the eggs Benedict w/hash browns & hubby had eggs w/tater tots & breakfast burger. Both satisfied with the taste, prep & service. Been there before & we'll be back again.

I love this diner #1 in the 219...

Good food, very affordable, and friendly staff! Overall great place to eat!

Not bad definitely not great but convenient if you don’t want to make breakfast at home

Fantastic place to have food when in a rush. Their service is efficient, pricing is affordable, great vibes. I highly recommend this spot.

The best breakfast food in town

Hangover Hangout. Breakfast all day. Great setting, great service, one of my favorite diners in NWI.

Great food, service and prices

It was very busy and you had to stand and wait awhile before being able to seat yourself. Besides this it was an excellent experience with very friendly staff who are always tentative to your needs. Will be returning.

Great diner food. Great staff. Very tolerant of children and requests.

Great food and great service

Very much Happy Days - Fonzie. But nice

Very Excellent service and plenty coffee plus I would like steak & eggs once in a while I was raised on it.Thank You.

Great food. Wonderful atmosphere. Friendly staff.

Came here with a big group the day after a bachelorette party. They were very accommodating, despite them having a small space. We had fast and friendly service! The food was really great, too.

If you're hungry and want delicious food, this is the place to go! Friendly service and reasonably priced!

Northside Diner is a welcoming place. Personally, my sisters and I have made many fond memories there which have brought us close together. The menu is not overwhelming while not being limited, and provides simple descriptions for their wonderful food. The workers are of great kindness which helps create the home-like atmosphere and a good time.

Always great food and great service!

Do NOT judge this place by the small, somewhat lackluster exterior, as inside is a gem. The food is excellent (we had breakfast), and service was top notch. The interior atmosphere of a 50s Diner is done very well. Best breakfast I've had in a long while.

Good food. Good people working here.
