11 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in New Buffalo

“Bentwood Tavern was absolutely incredible and helped make one of the most meaningful days I have ever planned feel truly unforgettable.

I had put an enormous amount of thought into creating a very special day for my partner, and our brunch at Bentwood was an important part of that experience. I reached out ahead of time with a few special requests, and the team executed everything beautifully. The table was ready, the timing was perfect, the details were handled exactly as I had hoped, and the staff made the entire experience feel completely seamless.

What meant the most to me was how genuinely invested they seemed in helping me create the moment. Nothing felt awkward, rushed, or like I was asking too much. They understood that this was more than just brunch for us, and they treated it that way.

The service was warm, attentive, and thoughtful, the food was excellent, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. My partner felt incredibly special, which was exactly what I wanted, and Bentwood Tavern played a real part in making that happen.

I am deeply grateful to the team for the care they put into our visit. When you spend weeks planning something for someone you love, having a restaurant take your vision seriously and execute it this beautifully means more than I can explain.

Thank you for helping me create a memory we will carry with us for a very long time. We will absolutely be back.“

“Long time patron of the Terrace Room here. I’m a local and have loved the evolution this space has travelled from years ago. Recently ate here again with my husband (use to eat here 1x a month, now less frequent) and was a bit disappointed. The ambience and setting is stellar and basically the best in the region. First point, the price point is hard not to notice. That being said, I get it. It is a tough business and margins are slim. However, this brings me to the second point: If you need to price things where it costs literally hundreds of dollars for a meal for two, the service must be impeccable. Here is where service detracted from the experience. Our server was very nice and well meaning. However, he recited the day’s specials highlighting what he DIDN’T know about each item. For example “I haven’t seen it” or “Not sure what peppers the chef is using in that entree”….etc. This detracted from the experience. Also, steak didn’t come with a steak knife; had to ask for one. Again, not a big deal, but when you’re already feeling the price pinch, you want everything to be stellar to make up for that. Additionally, they use to serve lovely warm bread with olive oil - that is gone! We really missed that special touch. I’d also like them to add to the wine list so there is more than Italian wines. Finally, they serve complimentary small cookies for an after dinner sweet (if you don’t order dessert). Of course, this is lovely. However, they have been serving the same, literally, after dinner cookies for 15 years. Would like to see some variety. How about biscotti, or some chocolates? It is hard not feel like you are paying for more (which is literally true and not their fault) and receiving less - which is also true (no bread!). I love this place, but a bit disappointed and less likely to frequent as often.“

“Good food, larger location, and a drive thru! We ordered tacos (chicken and steak) traditional style with onions and cilantro (we did not opt for the included tomatoes, cheese and sour cream). We also ordered chips and salsa and refried beans. All items alacarte. Reasonable prices, adequate seating and adjacent parking. Tacos and fresh made chips really good as was the salsa. Beans (I did not eat but others did) reported as average. Will return!“

“I have been going to The Stray Dog for years. I have never had a bad experience there. The food is great and the service is superb! Also, if any of the ladies out there need a "personal plumber", I am available to service your unfulfilled fantasies.“

“Great food and service . Have never had bad food .“

“1st time in went with 3 couples and we all agreed the food sucks, way to expensive. The menu was wack. 2 Italian subs, 2 cokes 45$. Never again.“

“Wonderful breakfast. The French toast is so amazing, and a wonderful little spot. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I've been coming to Casey's for years. Always great food and service. This summer we had Adam as our server, each time we ate there. This guy is great! I highly recommend Casey's and definitely ask for Adam. He goes above and beyond! Even made sure on our last night to have sweet tea for us! Thank you ! Hope to see you next summer!“

“the pizza is outstanding! I would eat it everyday if I lived closer. the staff is always wonderful. it's always on the list of places to go when I'm in town“

“The food is always delicious and affordable for the value. The daily double that offers 1/2 a sandwich and a bowl of soup is wonderful. We have always had a great meal when we di e at Timbers.
When the lines are long another cashier would be greatly appreciated.“

“The buffet was good, but I think they put way too much pepper on the food. There’s a lot of people out there cannot have pepper … that’s why you put salt and pepper shakers on the table so people could put the salt and pepper on the food by themselves. The cooks put way too much pepper on the food especially the mashed potatoes. Don’t need to do that. Nobody else does that.“
