Reviews for Fiddler's Hearth in South Bend, IN
A wonderful beer/cider/whiskey menu, coupled with high quality pub / "Celtic" food, in a delightful pub atmosphere. For main... dishes, I had a wonderful curry (over barley!) with Irish bangers as the added protein; I chose hot, which gave it a nice curryzing without overpowering the flavor. Huge portion. My son had corned beef and cabbage, which was beautifully done. My wife hada Cobb salad, which she greatly enjoyed. Marvelous place, with a Celtic string group in the next wing giving some backgroundtunes. The overall ambiance was noisy, but in a positive and lively way for a Monday evening. Fun! I would absolutely revisithere any time. My son's comment was he wished he could become a regular. Read more
Loved the quaint Irish Pub setting and the food was great. The Scotch Eggs were wonderful. Crisp and crunchy on the outside, egg... yolk was perfect temperature and consistency. A must have imho. The Shepherds pie was amazing and the wife enjoyed her Bangersand mash, though she felt the bangers were a bit dry. If you have never visited, park across the road in the parking garage. Itis free on weekends and after 6pm if I remember correctly. Read more
Wonderful place to go for genuine Irish pub cuisine. Make sure you either place reservations before you go, or be prepared to... wait a bit for seating. The restaurant is kinda on the small side, and is almost always packed. That's a good thing, because theatmosphere and food are excellent. Well worth any wait in the lobby area. The prices are decent, but the quality and taste ofthe food, reflects that course. I had the Scotch Eggs and Fish and Chips. The rest of my family had the Shepherd's Pie, PubBurger, and the Ham Sandwich. ALL of it was outstanding. We left happy and full. Great place to go also, if you like Guinness ontap. Highly suggested.

Service is lackluster, very laid back. Food was superb, the meat and Guinness pie was amazing! The mushroom soup (soup of the... day) was good but was cold. I came within the hour the restaurant opened so for a special soup of the day to be cold I doubt itwas made fresh. Read more
My Uncle and I stopped by Fiddlers two nights of the four we stayed in South Bend -it was a nice fun place. Both nights there... was a bit of live music, fiddlers and flutes it was very pleasant and made me want to dance. The food was fantastic fish achips come wrapped in a newspaper which was pretty neat. The price isn't bad at all. We had no problems getting in right awayboth nights but we were there during the week and it's a small place so you might have to make reservations is you're going on aweekend. Sadly right now during the week they close at 10, the kitchen closes at nine so on late nights we had to move overnext door to the oyster bar, which is quite a bit louder. Read more
Love this restaurant. It has such a laid back - homey feel to it and the Irish food is superb! One of the most unique... restaurants in South Bend. Definitely worth checking out - especially if you're only in town for a few days. Read more
One of favorite places. Great atmosphere and delicious food, not to mention the best Guinness you can get outside of Fado in... Chicago. Go here, you'll be happy you did. Read more
