Had dinner reservations for 7:00. No one greeted us when we arrived. We waited for awhile while multiple people walked by and ignored us. Decided to walk out to see if anyone cared. They didn't. Took pictures of the outside (beautiful mansion). Walked back in to try again. No immediate response but someone finally came and sat us with our... More

My wife and I have gone here three times, and each time, I've been less than impressed. The best trip was our first, for our anniversary, but that's not saying much. The second time was a murder-mystery dinner theatre (which was bad, but the food was worse), and the third for a company holiday party (which was terrible as well).... More

Wow! What a fantastic place to have brunch or dinner. The staff, food and history of the place is magnificent. For brunch, they have any type of food that you can imagine from an omelette table, pasta, eggs, bacon, fruit, pastries and delicious desserts. To top off the fantastic food, you get impeccable service-Doug is a great new additiion to... More

The Tippecanoe Place Restaurant is in an old house that was built for the Studebaker family. It is very impressive on the outside and inside can be quite charming, but they could have done a better job converting it -- it doesn't feel like they spent a lot of money on decoration/conversion. The food is average. Nothing to write home... More

The mansion was open to look around in, but many places were closed off and there were things just falling apart. The service was very slow. I went in a group of 12. They sat us not in the nice mansion part but in a crappy side room that looked like it used to be a porch. Totally not expecting... More

My wife loves old homes and history, so I chose this restaurant for her recent birthday. The building is incredible and our food and service were terrific. We particularly enjoyed wandering around the restaurant after our meal.

I had dinner at the Tippecanoe Restaurant while in South Bend on a business trip and was so pleased to find this gem! I am an aficionado of old homes of the late 19th century and was so excited to be able to experience this home in all its glory. The food was superb, I had the evening special which... More

The food is excellent and the proces are very reasonalble, but the self-guided tour of the Tippecanoe Place/Studebaker Mansion alone is worth seeing. I definite must-see if going to South Bend. The staff is very freindly and accomodating. http://tippe.com/
