Goblin & The Grocer

Amazing! Great bar and restaurant. Location is prime, love all the room and outside portion. Excited to come during the summer. The decor and open lighting is just brilliant! Great spot for a party, date, or get together. Service is excellent, staff works great together. Drinks are delicious, they have creative cocktails and a wide variety of beer to choose from! My absolute favorite thing was the oyster shooter! Try it! I’d get it as a cocktail if I could!

We split the enormous pretzel and main course. Loved all 3 dipping cups for the pretzel, cheese, creamy horseradish and German mustard. The snitzel was amazing, spinach cooked perfectly, seasoned amazingly. Friendly attentive staff

I've visited the Goblin and Grocer on several occasions but this time I was in town again from the bay area to visit my Dad in Chesterton and we decided to do a special Valentine's Day dinner as father/daughter. I lost my mom a few years ago and recently ended a year long relationship so this is what we just needed! This place ALWAYS blows me away, however last night was JUST so memorable. Atmosphere, ambience, service, menu, food all so perfect! The owner is always AMAZING and knows her STUFF! Our server was so GREAT too but couldn't recall her name. So if you ever are coming from out of town or even a local who has never visited this establishment, please do. You won't be disappointed!

Stopped for lunch after visiting Indiana Dunes NP. Excellent! There was live music on the patio, he was fun! The food was great! We both went with house smoked salmon dishes, both were excellent! They had a great wine and drink selection, though we opted for booze free lunch today with all the stuff we still wanted to do! We would def dine here again and you should too!

Love the food,Ninja bowl is my favorite!! the atmosphere and the service from everyone was wonderful! Had a brunch bachelorette party, and we all loved the food and cocktails, pineapple upside cocktail was yummy! Will definitely be back.

Justin was a great bartender! Really enjoyed his company and he made me a mean Shirley temple, extra cherries. This place has an awesome vibe, and good decor. We didn’t try the food but the menu looked enticing.

We stopped here on a Saturday, a group of 20 sketchers, for lunch. We did let them know ahead of time we were coming. All the staff were phenomenal! They were happy to accommodate us. The food was excellent! The owner, Dawn, was so pleasant. She stopped by multiple times to check in on us. I look forward to returning very soon!

Goblin & The Grocer is a captivating dining spot located ideally next to the Indiana Dunes, right across from the Ogden Dunes South Shore train station. This bar and grill not only offers high-quality dining against the stunning backdrop of the national park, but it also serves up truly memorable culinary experiences. During our inaugural visit—which certainly won't be our last—the food was nothing short of spectacular. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between relaxed and sophisticated, both inside and out, making it a comfortable spot for a refined meal. The patio is dog-friendly, adding to its charm and accessibility. Service was both prompt and efficient, with our server providing exceptional attention that enhanced our dining experience. Although parking can be tricky due to the limited space in their lot, there is additional parking available across the street, which is helpful to know in advance. The menu at Goblin & The Grocer is a parade of hits. The Bavarian Monster, a colossal one-pound pretzel served with assorted dips, is a standout and could easily become a benchmark for similar offerings elsewhere. My chicken piccata was richly sauced and packed with flavor, while my companion's tuna dish was expertly prepared, much to our delight. While the prices reflect the high quality of the food, it is worth noting for those who are more budget-conscious. That said, the dining experience here is exceptional, and I am eagerly looking forward to trying their brunch. Goblin & The Grocer is highly recommended for anyone seeking a top-notch meal in a picturesque setting.
