14 Best American Restaurants near Dowagiac

“A great restaurant located in a wooded area, near Indian lake. Service was impeccable, our server Dana M was great. My ribeye steak was fantastic as was my wife's. The best we have had in years, and I like steak. The salad was crispy and fresh. I would rate them at 100%, we plan to go again.“

“Ken and Sissy went around the room and said hello to everyone except my wife and I. All we got was a dirty look from Sissy, and a leer from Ken. No idea why. We've always been polite, and thankful, as well as generous tipping. I can't spend my money where I don't feel welcome. My wife and I will likely never be back.“

“Chocolate malts incredible.“

“such a fun place to go and hang out with friends and meet new friends“

“Great food, service, and a very friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended.“

“Timbers Fast Food & Deli at the Four Winds Dowagiac casino provides a convenient and satisfying dining option for casino patrons.

My husband and I frequently enjoy their chicken tenders and fries, which we find to be a generously portioned and shareable meal.
Of particular note is their honey mustard sauce, which complements the tenders perfectly.

Service at Timbers is consistently prompt and courteous, and the value proposition is excellent.

For those seeking a casual dining experience with satisfying food and efficient service, Timbers is a reliable choice.“

“ATTENTION WOUNDED MINNOW CUSTOMERS!!!! I" DO NOT" RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1st off let me say that we are big supporters of local businesses, especially Resturants. Today we went to The Wounded Minnow for a late lunch with another couple. We spent $60 each couple on our meals. I'm one to review my bill afterwards & found we were double charged for an item. It was no problem & was corrected, a simple mistake. HOWEVER I noticed this establishment is now charging $1.00 for each glass of ice water per customer. When I spoke with our waitress( who was wonderful) & asked if Kyle is seriously charging for water she said " Kyle told us to tell the customer that the ice machine cost money plus the labor. WHAT!!!!!! For starters the small amount of ice that was in the glass had melted before the drink was half gone. Also Kyle told the wait staff to explain the reason why he was charging the $$ but didn't instruct them to tell you when you ordered the water there would be a $1.00 charge. ( Dirty Buisness Kyle) I don't get this... We paid our bill & left, but I can tell you we will never be back & neither will our friends. Now, let me ask the question... Was it worth the loss of buisness? I also called every other buisness that offers food & drinks on Front St. along with (4) places in Niles, Mi & not one of them charge for water. I could see if someone walked in & wanted a water to go, but paying customers to be charged for this is disgusting. KYLE BELEW, you should be Ashamed of yourself!!!!“

“I went here for a late lunch. I heard about this place on Facebook and wanted to come here for the history. It also has good reviews. I ordered the fried chicken dinner which comes with fries, coleslaw and bread. The chicken is very good and exactly what I was looking for. The chicken was hot and fresh. The skin was crispy and not overly seasoned and the meat was moist with good flavor. It comes with a ton of fries but just a little bit of coleslaw. I would have liked less fries and more slaw. The slaw was good and tasted fresh. The bread was also good. It was 2 thick slices of a baguette. It would have been nice to have some garlic butter or honey butter to put on it, (but I shouldn't be eating bread anyway). I only ate the drumstick and wing and took the breast and thigh home.
I ordered the Goulash to take home. It is a generous amount and definitely will be 2 meals. I tasted it before putting it in the fridge. It's meaty and has a good flavor, but it's seasoned more like an Italian pasta dish rather than goulash. It also came with bread.
The staff is friendly and seemed to know a lot of the people there. Lots of local regular patrons.
This tavern was originally a one room, log building for travelers to stop when going to Chicago. I think it would be cool if the interior had an old log cabin look.“
