The Lauber - South Bend

Really great selection of food and drink. The pot-roast sliders are delicious and the pizzas surprisingly good for a place that serves mostly sandwiches.

We must have chosen poorly for this meal because our food selection, despite getting recommendations, wasn't as stellar as the reviews suggested. The prime melt was dry and flavorless. Would've preferred Portillo's. The Mac n cheese was fine. Appetizers were nice and unique. Our best item was the Brussels sprouts. We'd come back just for those.

Went here on a whim, just happened to be driving through South Bend. Food was OK at best. I had soup, it was probably best thing I had (a pumpkin squash), the prime melt (the meat seemed old and dry even with the au jus), fries and I asked for a side of beer cheese because they serve it with an appetizer. The beer cheese was served in a bowl and was just a jelotinous pile of cheese. I guess I thought it would be melted and gooey, but no. The place has a fun vibe, and I bet it's great during warm weather, sports on tvs, or a Notre Dame game!

Really tethered between 3-4 stars. Positives were price for quality and size proportions. Opportunity for improvements: The temp of the food was Luke warm at best, service was a little erratic and forgetful... bless her heart.
