I really don’t care about shopping but I love dive bars and restaurants that are unique to a town. Any of those?

Evil Czech on Main in Mishawaka is a great local place and would be my personal rec for something different in the $50 a couple range. It's a brewery with some pretty different food choices. If you feel like something a little more upscale, Corndance is owned by the same people and is a bit higher end, a couple with drinks and dessert would spend about $100. They have some great aged steaks and have a entree special with different meats daily wood grilled and skewered on a stiletto dagger. It's nice.

If you want to drive about 15 miles to Elkhart, Five Star Dive Bar has fantastic local burgers. Real different stuff.

Obviously South Bend is a standard midsize city with a downtown area that has its share of local bars and fare, I just dont go there often.
