“I had the pulled pork sandwich on a gluten-free bun, fries, and a rootbeer. Everything was hot and fresh and served in the classic car-hop style from the 50s, even though the cold snap caused the servers to wear parkas. Quite a humorous sight! Great people, great food, you really should try it!Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free options are available.“

“Ordered take out from here. Oh let me tell you. It was fire and very filling. I don't think any of us could finish our boxes. Everything from the Reuben to the burger to the chicken strips was very good! The staff was also very friendly. We will be back soon!“

“Don’t sleep on this place! Justin was great. I always have a handful of questions when I’m in a new place and he was happy to answer them. He said most of the food is made from scratch. He recommended the Cuban and I approve! The food was also great. We sat at the bar, as we didn’t want to tie up the larger tables. While sitting there, we observed how clean it was behind the bar. I highly recommend!“

“For alittle hole in the wall it's amazing. The people are great and so are the prices. Been coming here for over a year and the food prices haven't raised which has been great because it is affordable to eat out and leave a decent tip for the waitress. Over all worth it to come in on the weekend and get the apple waffle or strawberry waffle amazing.“

“I loved the atmosphere here. Very country-casual and welcoming. You order at the counter, and the food is brought to your table. When done, you bus you own table too. The system is well organized and easy.I ordered the cobb salad, which had plenty of yummy ingredients, and was served in a big bowl. My friend ordered a sandwich (turkey, bacon, etc.), and it was large, served with kettle chips. She enjoyed it and took half home because it was so big.I'll be back with husband and will recommend to friends too.“

“What a lovely find in a small town like Dowagiac. The old fashioned Soda Fountain setting is fantastic. The candy is even better! Locally made chocolate, easter bunnies, candy coins and so many more. It really added to the Easter baskets we did for the kids. The homemade marshmallows were...mwah! don't miss out on this candy shop and more.“

“Came here to celebrate hubby’s birthday and we’re looking for something special. This unassuming restaurant sits on the edge of Big Fish Lake. Waitress was very attentive. I had blue gill and hubby had cavatappi and both were wonderful. Plenty of food served. Had a house red with our meal that was good. Will definitely be back!“

“It was a little crowded but that happens when the food and service are this good!! We travel often between ND and MI and this place has quickly become one of our favorites. The country gravy is the best I've ever had from any restaurant ? You're now a mandatory stop every time we visit.My son raved about the brisket burger for days. You guys rock!“

“Went for the Friday fish special and was not disappointed. We tried the bluegills, perch and cod. Served lightly breaded with potato and salad. Excellent! Hot, fresh and just enough served at one time. Our server was fun and engaged! Had a blast. A refreshing night out for us.“

“Normally taking all of my kids out for breakfast is a hassle. This morning we all decided on Copper Grille and our waitress was Shannon. Shannon was AMAZING! She was kind, caring, friendly and very attentive to our tables. My daughter (usually the restless one) was so happy at how nice Shannon was she had to write her a thankyou note! She really did make the experience the best possible this morning. We all chose the Buffett and the food was great. Big selection and constantly being refreshed. We could not have had a better experience!“

Tony Fields was awesome, can't wait to see him and Doug again!We also plan on coming back for karaoke on Fridays! Highly recommend Jimmy's!“

“Decent food for the local. I will definitely come back. I had the fish sandwich my only opportunity for this place is to use more fish. See the picture of the sandwich and notice how thin the fish pieces are.Atmosphere: Could be greatly improved with some Spartan decorations ?“

“The food and service was excellent. We actually decided to go because of other google reviews and photos and glad we chose to go. It can be hard to decide where to eat by looking online. Excellent place will be back again. Service was great they were so kind to us and our family. The owner even stopped and greeted us and told us a little history about the restaurant Very cool! They kept a lot of historical information all over too. Historic-good food-good people-support local!Kid-friendliness: Great selection, crayons and coloring.“

“This place has pretty decent food and pretty decent beer the beer is cold I don't know if the food is made from scratch though because I've seen the Swanson delivery driver in back a few times the few times that I did go they did not take debit card / and certain credit cards so we had to go get cash which was an inconvenient. Just always bring cash whenever you go to this place to avoid having them bring back your card and say we don't accept this.“

“My wife and daughter enjoyed our first (but not last) visit to Big T's. We had the salad bar, a burger, and the prime rib special. Everything was cooked well and delicious. The salad bar was well appointed, the burger was huge, and the prime rib was a generous cut. Our server was kind, thoughtful, and very attentive. We each commented on the ambience and decor. I'm impressed places like Big T's still exist! We'll be back!Vegetarian options: Salad barParking: Parking is ample, but you may have to walk a half block depending on how busy the restaurant is.Kid-friendliness: Plenty to look at, including a taxidermied wolf, and an arcade.“
