Tippecanoe Place Restaurant

User Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

I'd like to comment to the folks you were unhappy with the dinner in April. I do hope you will give the restaurant one more chance. I have never eaten dinner there, but the Sunday Brunch is absolutely outstanding. The food and service are terrific. If there are any problems, it's the line at the omlette bar. Great to watch them being made to order and delicious too. I wish I could visit there for Brunch more often than I do. The waffles melt in your mouth and the choice of toppings, well....you just can't try them all, just gives you another excuse to have Brunch again. Please try the Brunch, I think you will be pleasantly surprised and leave a contented customer. Too many other goodies to mention, you just need to experience it!

I hate to write a bad review for this place but I owe it to future customers. The building is great and taking a tour is wonderful. As a museum - wow!

As for food and service, I couldn't be more disappointed. We took our family Sat, April 11, 2009 for my daughter's birthday. The food was marginally good, the steaks were not correctly cooked and the Giant Tiger shrimp were very small and the quality poor. The service was terrible and the waitress lied to us. Our food was served over an hour after we ordered. The waitress blamed it on my daughter's steak taking too long because she wanted well-done. Then she blamed it on a large group that was ahead of us. I thought both reasons were plausible until I saw 2 tables, the same size as us, come in AFTER us and get their food BEFORE us. Then when my daughter's steak finally came - it was way underdone.

I stated all of this to the manager and asked him for a reason. He could not provide a reason. When I stated we were leaving without our food, he offered free desserts. We packed them up and left.

We have been there about 4 times and in the past I thought they were ok except a bit overpriced. This trip will be our last because I simply cannot stand being lied to. If they had just said - "we burned your steaks" or something plausible I would have overlooked it. They were not being truthful.

I think everyone should try to take a tour so go for a sandwich and see the museum. But to go for a big night out with the family for an expensive meal? Never again.

Well, if you have never been to the Sunday Bruch, you are missing out on a part of life! Let me tell you, there is no better place to eat Brunch then at Tippecanoe. Reservations are required, but well worth the planning. For about 13.00 per person, you get the best, all you can eat brunch available in South Bend--the atmosphereis awesome, and the service is petty great, too. Dress in your church clothes or business casual, and prepare to be marveled by the fresh, made-to order-in-front-of-you omlettes, the fresh baked waffles, and the prime rib. This place is truly awesome. The only bad thing I can say is that I have been disappointed when I have called and there have been no reservations available (usually on ND home games). Try it for yourself...this place is grrrrrrrrreat!!!
