“Our favorite. Great food, drinks, atmosphere, and terrific service. Leeann's presence added to our enjoyment of two birthday celebrations. Just the right interaction. Answered all our questions about the menu, made suggestions when asked, helped us choose the perfect wine.“

“Our dinner at Roselily was one of the top 3 dinners I've ever experienced. The food and atmosphere are tremendous, and the wine list is unparalleled in South Bend. The service is where Roselily elevates to all-timer status for me. Sasha was unbelievable as our server, but the whole staff made us feel welcome and celebrated on our anniversary. I hope to return to this place any chance I can.“

“If you're looking for amazing food and an authentic joint, this place is it. The catfish is crack!! absolutely addictive. The neighborhood might seem rough, but trust me, that's where you find the best flavors. The owners and staff are genuinely warm, welcoming, and thankful for your business. Plus, the portion sizes are unbeatable for the price. They rarely run out of ingredients, but if they do, it's only because everything's fresh and in high demand. Highly recommended every visit hits the spot!!“

Please accept the parking lot that needs some updates and the diner itself which sits with its real history and enjoy phenomenal food and very fair and reasonable prices.“

“Steak fajita skillet!! 😁😎“

“Had the best dinner!! BK never disappoints!“

“My wife and I had dinner there to celebrate our 63rd anniversary. She had the steak and shrimp while I had the shrimp duo (grilled and fried shrimp). The only minor complaints were the croutons on the salad were very salty and the shrimp (all of them) were slightly overcooked. (Not unusual in the midwest) Although we told her not to, the manager took them off the bill. Our server, Lorenzo, was very attentive without being intrusive. Overall, a very good evening. The Chandon champagne splits were VERY reasonable.“

“Will be ordering from your website next time! Excited I found your restaurant!“

“Fantastic food!! I was beyond impressed.!! The cheeseburgers were delicious and so were the chicken tenders.! YUM!! Service overall was great, our order came out quickly! Food quality is very good, not what you would expect at a Zoo. The Lodge building itself was well kept and clean.“

“Best burgers ever! Adam is a great kid!“

“Culvers is always a great spot to grab a quick bite or swing by for dinner! Great food, great prices, and a good atmosphere. It seems to always be busy with an occasional wait time.. They have good Wisconsin Cheese Curds.. and I always and end up getting the Butter Burger - its greasy, but it's so good! Definitely recommend if you’re hankerin for a great spot to eat!“

“Googled recommended this place when we were looking for somewhere new to try... but I will say we were not disappointed! The service was prompt and friendly, with nice recommendations toward the menu. The food was great! I had AYCE fish (hake) and it was delicious! The breading was nice and light, so you could actually taste the fish. My hubs had fried chicken and he enjoyed that as well! The best part was the cheese and crackers they brought out with our soup... well definitely come back!“

“I would give them 5 stars but they don't have a driving range. You must tee off crossing the St. Joseph river on 4 holes and the course is beautiful. It is for accurate golfers or those with plenty of extra golf balls for sure. One of my favorite courses in a 6 county area.“

“Great food and friendly atmosphere. Reasonable prices and their breakfast is wonderful. I also enjoy their breaded tenderloin sandwich.“

“This is my first time having soul food Sunday. I had fried pork chops and cabbage with Candi Yams. The cabbage was a had a lil kick to it, and I love my cabbage to have a lil spicy to it. I thought I had almost cooked it myself. Everything was sooooo good. I’ll definitely be back. 5 ⭐️“

“It's a great place to eat and wonderful people there“

“Was taken there for lunch a couple of weeks ago and loved it. Loved it so much that I booked a luncheon for the VP of our company and guests. New go to for all occasions! Can't wait to try brunch!“
