Hear from our valued guests
We happened onto this great spot on a perfect October Saturday and ate some excellent food outside in the sunshine. Our server, Cassandra, was a joy and everything we ordered was top-notch. We highly recommend the filet mignon small plate, as well as the grilled shrimp tacos. The fall cocktail menu was spot on...loved the caramel apple mule (complete with a caramel apple sucker/stirrer.) We were just visiting Valparaiso for the day, but would return in a heartbeat to this fun spot if given a chance!
Right in the heart of downtown Valparaiso, this restaurant & bar has an excellent food and drink selection. Our server was friendly and made the visit even better!
Came here on recommendation of the Valpo football coaches. Server was very good and attentive. Drink glasses are perfect size and shape and the fountain soda tastes great instead of the mix being off which is unfortunately common these days. Burger was made perfectly. Meat tastes great and actually seems high quality. Lots of tots and they were good. Super full after just burger and tots. Would definitely return.
The Wife and I were looking for somewhere different to eat at while visiting Valparaiso. We always seem to pick the same two places when in town. Decided to try Radius and They have a really good menu. I had the Lake Perch with Fries and My Wife had a huge delicious Salad. Recommend going here for Yourself and see what You think. Service was excellent as well.
I went there with two seniors for the first time in over a year. I sat facing a wall with a photo of the owner with what looked like a podcaster with a microphone. I asked the server about it. Said it"inspires me to do something new." Excellent experience. Steel burger the hostess recommended. Broccoli superb! Lively atmosphere.
We love Radius so much that we came back ❤️! The food is delicious and the staff are amazing and make you feel like you known them forever.
The service was outstanding! We had a server by the name of Lorenzo and he was on top of the ball. He was highly informative and made some suggestions this was our first time trying this location and the drinks were amazing and I think pricing is comparable for the food. the atmosphere is very fun they played great music.
Fantastic restaurant! Love the atmosphere. We were greeted immediately. We did arrive for a late lunch so there was no wait. Our server, Lorenzo, was prompt and super friendly. He found out it was our first time and he immediately had suggestions. We started off with the Mac and cheese hush puppies. They were cooked perfectly, creamy Mac in the middle with a perfect crispy outside. For my entree, I went with the Radius burger. My picture says it all, "Oh my." Lorenzo was so right about that garlic aioli being delicious. Can't wait to come back to Valparaiso so I can try more things!
I recently visited Radius in Valparaiso and ordered the “Garlic Cheese Curd Burger,” and it was an excellent choice. The burger stood out for the quality of the meat—it was cooked properly, juicy, and full of flavor without being overly greasy. The garlic and cheese curds added a rich, savory layer that complemented the beef very well, creating a balanced bite from start to finish. The bun held everything together nicely and did not fall apart, which is always appreciated when you are enjoying a loaded burger. My wife and I decided to sit at the bar, and the service there was attentive and welcoming throughout our visit. The staff checked on us consistently, made sure our drinks were refilled, and created a relaxed and friendly atmosphere without being intrusive. It felt like they genuinely cared about providing a good experience. The overall environment was comfortable and lively, making it a great spot for both a casual dinner and a night out. Based on this visit, I would definitely return to try more items from the menu and would recommend this place to anyone looking for a solid burger and attentive service in Valparaiso.
Stopped in with my family for the first time today and it definitely won't be my last. I was sold by the mention of the Mac and cheese hush puppies and they were amazing along with the garlic parm cheese curds. Everyone's main course was excellent. The chicken alfredo was one of the best I've ever had! Service was excellent!
