Kankakee Grille New Buffalo

First time dining here, my wife and thought it was a nice place with great service,and good food. We would come back!!!

Hostess was very cheerful and helpful. Wait staff were always smiling and attentive. The band was very energetic and there was no cover charge.

These pictures don't do this food or place ANY justice. Everything was AMAZING even the live band. Me and my husband are relocating to Michigan in a few months and wanted to go exploring and ended up here. It was my first time trying crab cakes and they were a 10000/10, the lemonade was great, we even got one to go and the surf and turf my husband got had me a little jealous lol but my ribs were equally amazing. We'll definitely be coming back... For this to be a hotel/casino restaurant we felt like we were already a resident... I can't wait to move

Great time and experience was awesome . Band needs to start earlier for up seasoned patrons.

Everything looked delicious as you can see in the pictures. I was looking forward to some good blue gill but it was so overpowering with seasoning in the batter I could not even taste the fish. I tried pulling the batter off but it was so hard and stuck to the fish. The truffle parm fries were good, I recommended light on the oil. Crab cakes could use crab chunks, but were good and my husband’s ribs were a little tuff but good. The Mac and cheese was very dry. Our waitress was very friendly and did a great job. So.. I don’t recommend the bluegill and the Mac and cheese upgrade.

Easy reservations. Server was pleasant & friendly. Appetizers & main course were all correct and delicious.

Consistently good all around. The bacon jakapeno dip and steaks are great. No need to go to the expensive steakhouse.

The worst meal I’ve had in years. Everything was undercooked and it took forever. Absolutely horrid.

Our server, Scott, was great! The food not so much. Very disappointing. Husband and I both order the ribeye, medium rare. Both seemed cooked to order but both were very very dry, not at all like any ribeyes we've ever had there, or anywhere for that matter. The vegetable was Brussel sprouts which were steamed with no seasoning and no flavor. Roasted would have been an improvement. The fries used to be shoestring but this time were a thicker cut and just not as good as the shoestrings. Overall we were both incredibly disappointed. It was definitely NOT a $46 steak. It'll be awhile before we do that again.

Reservations are a must, especially on nights when there is a show. The menu has something for everyone, from burgers and meatloaf to lobster rolls and filet mignon! We've had all of these and more! Everything is pretty tasty. On our last visit we had the meatloaf with mashed potatoes, we added the peppercorn sauce as gravy ($1 extra) . If you like a pepper gravy this is delicious. Also had a pulled pork sandwich with crispy onion straws and regular fries. Most items come with Parmesan truffle fries which are tasty but sort of thin, I just wanted regular fries.... Both are good. Our server was super helpful in describing menu items, got our order to us timely and checked on our table frequently. Sorry I forgot her name. All in all Kankakee Grille is our choice for a casual dinner with tasty options!

We were there for dinner. Both ordered the filet mignon. It was cooked medium. Super chewy and hard to cut. Had n flavor at all. When we brought it to our servers attention, they said they told the kitchen but that Copper Rock gets first choice of the steaks. We also inquired about the Catch of the Day and was told the box just says “white fish”. Would like to have a better idea of that.

So slow when nobody is here. Filet was absolutely awful. All gristle. Like the worst. Mashed potatoes were great. Terrible service

I took my wife here for dinner as soon as we walked in we were greeted by the 2 hostess at the counter, which were very nice. While they were checking us in a woman, idk manager or what walked behind us telling them two to make sure they switch out servers. The two then began talking to her about so and so called off and this and that making it a very uncomfortable spot for me and my wife. That should have waited until we was done being checked in! Very unprofessional I thought. They literally talked right through us.
