Amazing Food and Service. The only time I ever go is on Friday nights for their AYCE Prime Rib and Seafood buffet. The prime rib has great flavor and is cut right in front of you. They keep the crab legs fresh and have hand drawn butter for you. Besides the usual crab and prime rib, the chef has different items every week, but my favorites are the jumbo clam strips, portobello stuffed raviolis, grouper, and the scallops wrapped in bacon. He also makes one of the best Clam Chowders (white) in NW Indiana. You can't eat the quality and quantity of the food here for anything less than 60 dollars else where. The buffet runs a reasonable 23-25 dollars/person. Best bang for your buck period. The service is great and the Chef is a pretty cool guy. Try their desserts- if you can save room! Only down side- you have to be 21 to enter the restaurant thanks to Indiana law. There is no smoking in the dining area, but it is attached to a bar with smoking. I never had an issue with noticing smoke.
Very impressive. Two for twenty. Dinners were great. FIVE STARS
The best way to explain it is that if someone wanted to go here, I wouldn't object, but I wouldn't suggest going here if my friends and I were looking for a place to eat.
This is a great place to hang out and take friends to. It is a very laid back and they didn't seem to be in a hurry to get us out even though they were packed. My husband and I bought drinks and appetizers and watched the fireworks on the 4th of July. The food is definitely bar food, good but not great. I wouldnt come back just for the food. The drinks were mixed well and the atmosphere is amazing. We will definitely be going back soon.
If you want to go to a unique place that sits right off of Lake Michigan then visit this. The food is always tasty and they even made us our own Cherry Cokes. We love coming here!
When going to Michigan City stopping at Mateys is a must! The food is good and their drinks are great!! The view is just wonderful!
Love this place! We stopped in with our 2 kids and had a great time and a phenomenal meal! Melissa was our server and we absolutely loved her! She was super attentive and friendly to our kids. The lower deck area is the only option for family dining, but with the overview of the lake, it was perfect! Can't wait to go back!
An absolute gem in Michigan City!
I would have never expected that an impromptu stop would be serving deliciously prepared food! Salad was fresh! Pork chops were perfectly seasoned and cooked within just a shade of pink...!
Service was exceptional! Granted, my dog and I were the only customers there, however, Jen and the entire staff made us feel so welcome we felt right at home!
Eventually, a few more customers walked in and I noticed the service was just as excellent!
Thank you Mateys for making this weary traveller feel welcome!
