“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.“

“We are visiting from Ohio and love trying hole in the wall local spots and this is one of the best we have found! the food was great, the chicken wrap was perfect and the BBQ pork tip sandwich was also on point. the staff were so kind and quick.“

“The best fast food you can get! Always tastes fresh and hot.“

“Applebee's is your usual American chain restaurants. Prices are reasonable, and they have several all you can eat dinners. They were short staffed, so it took a little longer than usual to get our food. The service was excellent, they did the best they could, and were honest about the situation.“

“We go for the atmosphere over the food. This location did not have either meal selection my wife and I originally ordered. My wife's meal was as expected. One of my side dishes was was cold and the fried chicken was dry. Service was fine but slow at times“

“The friendliest encounter we’ve ever had at the drive thru window. We love supporting local businesses and this one in particular was a treat. The food is amazing and all cooked to order. Bring your imaginations because if they have the ingredients the sky’s the limit.“

“Just had dinner here at the Red Arrow Roadhouse. Hubby ordered the meatloaf dinner and he liked it very much. I ordered the Roadhouse Classic Reuben minus the sauerkraut and 1000 island dressing! The house-cooked corned beef, warm, very lean, and incredibly tender on griddled marbled rye, with melted Swiss cheese was one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had! The fries were perfectly cooked and hot. Our server was a dream. Friendly and welcoming. She made us want to come back! The next time we’re in New Buffalo, we will definitely visit this restaurant again.“

“I haven't been here for quite awhile, maybe over 14 years ago, but I love the family feeling. You walk in and your treated like family. We had an awesome waiter Christina, who made you feel welcomed, didn't rush you and even joked around with the group. What really stood out is when you left , they made you feel genuinely appreciated for dining with them. Food was good, lots of options to choose from. If you are hungry the servings are a good size. We had to do to go containers.“

“Just came back from Easter brunch 2026 and I have to tell you that had to be the best brunch buffet I have ever had! Their food is always exceptional there but this was so spot on from the breakfast items to the main course and of course, the salad was out of this world. But of course, my favorite was the prime rib. It was so juicy so tender cooked perfectly, and the ham was smoked with such a flavor to it from what I understand they also do this on Mother’s Day and I look so forward to that. I went with my family and my great grandchildren and they just enjoy eating at the union pier social and my good friend Steve is the manager there and basically runs the whole show and he just took it out of the park. I suggest if you’ve never ever patronize the union pure social you need to go because all your Round their food is just exceptional on Tuesdays they have bingo. It is so much fun that you can eat play bingo meet friends I love going there and I suggest everyone you need to try it. You will not be sorry.“

“This was our first visit to the Staymaker, which is the restaurant within the Journeyman Distillery. We are visiting from Chicago and this was recommended and we were not disappointed! Everything was really excellent! From our charming and attentive server Hailey, to the amazing smoked trout spread app to the Trout entree and the brisket meatloaf. It was all so delicious! We will be back!“

“Mr. Gyro’s is one of my favorite casual dining spots around here. The owner, Nathan, is so nice and his food is ON POINT. The gyros platter and Greek salad are both a solid representation of authentic, fresh Greek flavors and ingredients. 10/10 recommend!“

“Great food at a great price! This unassuming restaurant is a delightful surprise. Offering an extensive menu of American standards prepared to perfection, it also offers Greek fare such as gyros and baklava and shish kabob. The parking is excellent and there are tables outside available for outdoor dining if the weather permits. Close your eyes and pretend you are on a Greek island, or at least in Greek Town in Chicago. The food is that good! Andy, the friendly Greek American owner, knows his many regulars by name. He offers take out, dining in and catering. The hot dogs are Vienna Beef-terrific! He has a hot dog cart available for your next party too.“

“ (Good food!)
(Service was great!)
(Atmosphere is busy and exciting!)

Mark III Grille & Bar and Inn has ginormous meals that are good! They are known for their Tex-Mex, steaks, seafood, and comfort food. Located in St. Joseph, Michigan, this restaurant invites many people to enjoy great food and laughter around the table, while highlighting their history around the restaurant, creating a fun environment.

The food was good! I had the nachos and others had other meals. I appreciate big portions as I'm a big guy! There's nothing like good for and big plates! The side of beans was really good, too!

The service is always remarkable. Our water cups stayed full and while the restaurant was full, our server never missed a beat. Great service!

The environment is fun, inviting, and has great history all around. This restaurant is so fun, that if you visited just for the decor, you would be satisfied. Great atmosphere!

Free parking in the free parking lot. Great for a quick bite or longer sit. Wheelchair accessible, and price point is $20-30 per person.“

“it teast good good yummy i love steak and pull pork sandwich“

“I walked in and was greeted by Pricilla, who, with a smile and a pleasant demeanor, brought my food order to me. She couldn't have been more professional. I'm a food delivery driver and wish we had more just nice people like her.“

“One of my favorite local places! Great food, great drinks, and lovely waitstaff. We always recommend this place as a casual local spot when people visit!“

“Been here many times. We had a great dinner here the other night as always. The zucchini blossoms are delicious and the sauce to dip them is so good. The blueberry martini is my favorite.“

“Walked in a little after 2 pm on a Monday (7/14) and they were surprisingly busy. There were two women on the floor and they were phenomenal... A bit disappointed that there was no one else there to support them but they held their own. There was a large party and then several other tables and since we were coming to relax we weren't bothered with a wait, there really wasn't much of one. Ordered the pretzel bites and cheese garlic bread appetizers which were half odd. Garlic cheese bread was fantastic!! The ladies kept our drinks replenished and we look forward to returning soon.“

“Came into Bob Evans last night with my family and to say everything was amazing is an understatement. I have seen the cook before her food is always picture perfect. The honey butter chicken is a most try as long as she is cooking. She takes pride in her food and it shows. The manager and our server were nothing but smiles made us feel welcomed. We will definitely be back at night, as long as these same ladies are there. If you want to have a good experience visit this location at night. Seems that mornings are a struggle from our last visit prior to this one.“
