3rd Base Bar & Grill

I am brief in my reviews because I travel a lot and reading is so exhausting.
Food was great. I had wings.
Beer was great. Had Stella in a Stella glass which is rare and awesome.
My servers name was Taylor. She was fabulous.
Several reviews state they favor regulars. I am not a regular and service was great.
Why only a 4 star? A perfect 5 is tough in my book.

Good Food, I especially like their burgers. It has a decent atmosphere and would definitely go back.

Dinner: Had the Pull Pork sandwich w/​a side of Fries, and water.
I do understand that this place is a Bar & Grill.
Keep in mind that anyone could have a cold beer at home or just go to a bar… My rating is based on bar food.
But if you’re going to have grill in the title
What I would like to see added to this meal: a spear pickle, and some yellow onions. The Pull Pork could have had brown sugar, pepper, and cooked on low. Served with evenly with butter toasted buns. I so badly wanted to take this sandwich home and recook it. The fries could have been a smash hit, if you had seasoning (garlic, onion salt, dash of kosher salt, and paprika).
The lack of –was the only reason why I gave it a 3 out of 5.
The idea of bar food could be known as just that. Add a little effort (Spices & Sugar) into the food and it becomes more to the sober customer. Make it for someone that’s buzzed, then this sandwich could have been the best thing they ever eaten in the whole world! I would have loved to have this meal and brag to everyone how outstanding it was.
Overall service was great and the beer is perfectly chilled… Might come again.

First time in this town found the reviews of every restaurant horrible ended up here as it was close to the hotel. Well it does seem like there were a lot of regulars but really that is to be expected in a cottage town like this. I was served promptly and well looked after. The wings were good and the beer was cold. Music playing and sports on the multiple tvs. Not a bad place at all.

This sports bar is located across the road from Pine Lake. There is a patio if you want to dine outside. It was brightly lit and colorful on the inside. Service was fast and friendly. Our waitress didn’t have any issues giving us all separate checks.
The menu is long and full of bar food goodies like chicken wings, salads, soups, burgers, sandwiches, buffalo chicken wrap, and hot dog. Prices are reasonable.
Taco Salad $ 7 — A generous helping of seasoned taco meat over iceberg lettuce. Topped with cheddar and mozzarella cheese and diced tomatoes. The shell was crispy and tasty.

Stopped after work yesterday for take out. I ordered the Malibu Chicken as suggested by a friend and it was delicious! The char-​grilled flavor was awesome and the sandwich was huge. It came with fries for $ 7.95. I ordered a margarita to drink while I waited and it was very well made and also delicious. The lady bartender was very friendly. This place is not fancy by any stretch of the imagination but the food is good. They have about ten tables outside that were all full. The bar was full too so that’s always a good sign. I’m looking forward to going back.

My wife and I went there last night for some drinks and burgers. The place was pretty empty, except for the three waitresses sitting at the bar. Our bar maid (slightly overweight blonde) asked what we wanted to drink and my wife wanted a Bahama Mama. The barmaid said she didn’t know to how to make it and what else would my wife want. Didn’t know how to make it? They have Bartender’s Bibles in bars and all she had to do was look it up. One of the other barmaids sitting at the bar said she would make it and she looked it up online. I ordered a Jack and Sprite. We each ordered a cheeseburger (which were really good). When it came to ordering another drink, our barmaid did everything humanly possible not to look our way… even went into the kitchen and brought out dinner and sat down and started to eat. We motioned to one of the other barmaids and she told ours that we wanted another round. Very unfriendly place… that is, unless you’re one of the good olé boys. If you just coming into town, pass on this place. There is much better and friendlier places to go to. Only giving two stars because the burgers were good, without the burgers: NO stars

I have to say I was not impressed with this place. My boyfriend and I were on our way home from visiting a friend when we wanted to stop for something to eat. We saw 3^rd Base on Unilocal and saw it got some pretty good reviews. I was very disappointed. When we first walked in it was pretty empty, granted it was in the afternoon so I wasn’t planning on it being crowded. However, one would think the bartenders or waitresses would be happy to see customers come in, but this place is obviously geared toward regulars because they were NOT happy to see new faces. The waitress didn’t smile once at us and only came by us to take our drink order, food order, and to give us the check. I had gotten their taco bowl and was pretty excited about it since it came highly recommended, however, the chili was burnt and the lettuce was limp, honestly it was pretty gross and I couldn’t finish it. I completely understand this is bar food and wasn’t expecting a 5 star restaurant. However, if you aren’t going to take your time and make good food I don’t care if you are a bar you shouldn’t make food. Our drinks took forever, which doesn’t make sense since the place was empty but the bartender was also waitressing so we gave her the benefit of the doubt. The view of the lake was beautiful, but I won’t be returning and if you are driving that way I suggest you drive a little further and find something else.

Come here often with siblings… great place to hang on a Friday evening. Good food & drinks. Husband doesn’t like minimal beer selection. Allie is a great server. One of the few bars in LaPorte we feel safe. Always get Jamaican Jerk wings and awesome onion rings.

Great sports bar. Local place, family owned, big menu, and surprisingly delicious food. Stopped here on our cross country trip for lunch and were very happy with all our food. They also had outdoor seating and it was located on a gorgeous lake. No bad things to say about this joint!

We ate here for the first time. because of good reviews. My wife had the daily special which was the chicken melt on rye and I had a Swiss burger. My wife said hers was excellent. My burger was very good though I’d like to see a little darker grill marks on the meat. We both had the waffle fries which were also very good. We were he about 2 in the afternoon and the place was fairly quite. It’s a sports bar & grill so I would think it gets noisy in the evenings and weekends. Service was good and the waitress friendly.

We go to 3^rd Base every week for lunch and have never been disappointed, never. I dislike sports bars but this place has completely won me over. Great food, service, prices. I am vegetarian and am in love with the portobello sandwich with roasted peppers and onions. Spouse is a carnivore extraordinaire and has gotten the hamburger (from local butcher, Sims) almost every time we go there. Spouse liked the tomatoes and mentioned that they tasted like they were just picked: waitress commented, «they were». Locavore sports bar in Laporte, Indiana? They make their own salad dressings. Try the French: it is great. Chardonnay is less than $ 5/​glass and delicious. Many beer choices. Mostly regulars, but you can fit right in .Don’t be turned off by all the trucks and motorcycles in the parking lot (newly paved!) I really like this place. Recommended!

Basically a bar, but with above average food. Burgers were done to order and beefy; no fillers. Clam chowder had more of a bisque consistency, but a peppery bite. Prices very reasonable. Service fast and cheerful. Seemed to have a good neighborhood crowd for a Sunday night.
