Kankakee Grille New Buffalo offers a variety of dining experiences. While some customers have noted that the online menu is inaccurate and that certain items, like crab cakes and corn ribs, are no longer available, many still praise the friendly staff and generous portion sizes. The restaurant is known for its hot and fresh dishes, with recent reviews highlighting delicious fries, specialty cocktails, and satisfying food portions. The daily special surf and turf has been called amazing, and appetizers like fried deviled eggs and bacon jalapeño cheese dip continue to receive positive remarks for being hot, fresh, and flavorful. The atmosphere can be lively, especially with live music, creating an energetic environment that some guests find fun. The restaurant also features memorabilia from its past as The Hard Rock, adding a casual vibe to the setting.
Despite occasional issues with food temperature, such as slightly warm meatloaf and fries, the overall food quality remains good. Some dishes, like the Bison Burger, are highly praised, while others may be inconsistent, like steak, which can be overdone if not requested carefully. Staff and management are responsive to feedback and work to improve customer experiences, though service can vary. Prices, especially for draft beer, may be a bit high for some guests. Overall, Kankakee Grille is a reliable choice for those seeking sizable portions, friendly service, and tasty food, despite some inconsistencies in food preparation and atmosphere.
