“Frankly, DogSlinger Offers Winning Wieners Warmer days had my wife Shelly and me jonesing for summer grub, so we decided to investigate DogSlinger, located near the corner of St. Joseph Ave. and John Beers Rd. in the heart of uptown Stevensville, Michigan. Upon entering, we were greeted with giant artsy photos of each type of dog on the menu, and our mouths immediately began to water. The wall of photos made ordering easy since we could see each type of hot dog. Conversely, it made it more difficult to order because there were so many unique dogs and sausages that we wanted to try. Per usual, we did some splitsies. We started off with the Seattle Dog, which found the Vienna all-beef hot dog nestled in a cream cheese laden brioche bun and topped with freshly cut and grilled onions and peppers. The warmth of the hot dog caused the cream cheese to soften and melt into the bun. The saltiness of the dog was nicely accentuated by the mild, sweet, and tangy hints of cream cheese. I said “Yeehaw,” when I bit into the Cowboy Dog, which was wrapped in bacon, topped with cheese sauce, BBQ sauce, and some house-made crispy onion strips…oh, and then more chunks of bacon! The hickory smoke flavor of the bacon and the sweetness of the BBQ were well balanced. You’d better saddle up before trying to rustle this beast. I never thought one hot dog could fill me up, but this was one big meaty dog! The Termintater (not a typo) is DogSlinger’s version of a loaded baked potato. Somewhere near the bottom of this creation was a hot dog suffocated by a myriad of tater tots and meat chili. Nacho cheese sauce, sour cream and their house-made Slinger Sauce was drizzled over the heap before it was garnished with fresh-sliced scallions. In football, we call this “piling on!” Of course, we couldn’t leave without having the traditional Chicago Dog. It’s hard to beat this classic when it’s made with premium ingredients. A true Chicago dog must start with an authentic Vienna Beef brand all-beef frank in a steamed poppy-seed bun and topped with neon green sweet relish, chopped onion, yellow mustard, tomato slices, a kosher spear, pickled peppers known as “sport peppers” and a dash of celery salt. Do not embarrass yourself by asking for ketchup on it. Actually, they will make it for you that way, but they may razz you a bit.“

I recently had a delightful experience at Applebee's Grill + Bar in Benton Harbor, Michigan! This family-friendly restaurant has clearly stepped up its menu over the years. With great food, attentive service, and a welcoming atmosphere, it’s a place worth visiting.

The food: I sampled a few dishes, including the boneless wings, fish and chips, and a cheeseburger, and I was impressed! The bottomless fries were a fantastic addition—always hot and crispy. Each dish I tried was enjoyable.

The service truly stood out during my visit. Our server, Kandace, was attentive and cheerful, guiding us through the menu and ensuring our drinks were always filled. Her positive attitude made our meal even more enjoyable—thank you, Kandace!

As for the atmosphere, the restaurant was clean, well-designed, and spacious, which made for a comfortable dining experience. It definitely feels like a place that caters to families, and in a community like Benton Harbor, Applebee's really shines.

Overall, my visit to Applebee's Grill + Bar was a great experience! If you’re looking for a kid-friendly spot that’s also enjoyable for adults to grab a bite, catch a game, or simply relax, this restaurant is a fantastic choice.

We will be back!“

“We loved dinner here! We’re always looking for new places for our Monday night family dinners. We were really impressed that we had 3 sodas, a cocktail, appetizers, 2 meals and a kids meal all for under $80! They run a buy one get one 50% entrees during the week and it truly is a good deal. Food was and service were both really good, nice vibes, and enjoyed their creative craft cocktail list. Saw a good team effort from the FOH staff taking care of guests, which I can appreciate. We’ll be back!“

“What great restaurant, service and food!! Andy is the nicest owner who treats all his customers as family. Food is so yummy!!!“

“I enjoyed a nice bowl of chili and a beer here while they were just a bit busy. The staff was professional if a bit rushed, and the interior was modern. The TVs made it feel a bit like a sports bar. The food and drinks were excellent though.“

“IHOP is part of our rotation for family breakfasts, so we got to enjoy it today, and I can't say enough how wonderful our waitress Shamika was. From the 1st interaction, she made my morning better. She recommended the French vanilla sweet foam cold brew, and it didn't disappoint. She was attentive to our large group and very organized.“

“My fiance and I shared a large Chicken Nacho's which was more than enough to make the two of us very full. The restaurant was hosting a fundraiser where they would donate 20% of the proceeds from the night to a local family who had medical issues, which I think is a great way to give back to the community! Very nice restaurant for casual dinning, date night, or an evening out with the family!“

“Spareribs succulent. Nice salad and sides. Enjoyed cakelike cornbread. Great service .“

“The lobster � dinners was very good. Our family really enjoyed the foods, atmosphere and great service tonight. Also, the lemongrass chicken was delicious. �“

“Had dinner last Sunday. Service and attention was the best. Food was delicious and even I ordered a weird combination of food they asked twice to be sure it was wat I asked for so I loved that.
And extra plus! I forgot my credit card until Tuesday when I realized about. Had a call and confirmed they had it and I had to present an ID. Guys that is amazing and is so honest from all staff. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼“

“Went last night 1/20/25. They were pretty slow due to poor weather. I wanted to give a shout out to the cook in the back. For 1 the food was good, but for 2 he was nonstop cleaning the entire time we were there while he was not cooking. As usual food, and service was good.“
