“What else can I say but Amazing“

“Frankly, DogSlinger Offers Winning Wieners Warmer days had my wife Shelly and me jonesing for summer grub, so we decided to investigate DogSlinger, located near the corner of St. Joseph Ave. and John Beers Rd. in the heart of uptown Stevensville, Michigan. Upon entering, we were greeted with giant artsy photos of each type of dog on the menu, and our mouths immediately began to water. The wall of photos made ordering easy since we could see each type of hot dog. Conversely, it made it more difficult to order because there were so many unique dogs and sausages that we wanted to try. Per usual, we did some splitsies. We started off with the Seattle Dog, which found the Vienna all-beef hot dog nestled in a cream cheese laden brioche bun and topped with freshly cut and grilled onions and peppers. The warmth of the hot dog caused the cream cheese to soften and melt into the bun. The saltiness of the dog was nicely accentuated by the mild, sweet, and tangy hints of cream cheese. I said “Yeehaw,” when I bit into the Cowboy Dog, which was wrapped in bacon, topped with cheese sauce, BBQ sauce, and some house-made crispy onion strips…oh, and then more chunks of bacon! The hickory smoke flavor of the bacon and the sweetness of the BBQ were well balanced. You’d better saddle up before trying to rustle this beast. I never thought one hot dog could fill me up, but this was one big meaty dog! The Termintater (not a typo) is DogSlinger’s version of a loaded baked potato. Somewhere near the bottom of this creation was a hot dog suffocated by a myriad of tater tots and meat chili. Nacho cheese sauce, sour cream and their house-made Slinger Sauce was drizzled over the heap before it was garnished with fresh-sliced scallions. In football, we call this “piling on!” Of course, we couldn’t leave without having the traditional Chicago Dog. It’s hard to beat this classic when it’s made with premium ingredients. A true Chicago dog must start with an authentic Vienna Beef brand all-beef frank in a steamed poppy-seed bun and topped with neon green sweet relish, chopped onion, yellow mustard, tomato slices, a kosher spear, pickled peppers known as “sport peppers” and a dash of celery salt. Do not embarrass yourself by asking for ketchup on it. Actually, they will make it for you that way, but they may razz you a bit.“

“The best chicken parm I’ve ever had!!!!!!!!“

“Some locals recommended this place to us for dinner, so we decided to give it a try. My first impression was that the place is extremely dated and dark inside. The building is obviously older, along with the decor. The staff was exemplary and our waitress was really friendly and knew service really well. The food is extremely pricey for the area, but you are given large portions. Presentation is pretty much non-existent, but that matters less than the flavor of the food.“

“My wife and I got married here and we had a better experience than we expected and it’s due to all the great people at Pebblewood. I can recommend giving them your business. You won’t regret it.“

“What a great experience. The staff is awesome. The food is great. I highly recommend this restaurant. Food is down home cooked. This is not your fast food joint. This is a family restaurant.“

“Local classic. Great service. Drinks on point.“

“The friendliest encounter we’ve ever had at the drive thru window. We love supporting local businesses and this one in particular was a treat. The food is amazing and all cooked to order. Bring your imaginations because if they have the ingredients the sky’s the limit.“

“Just had dinner here at the Red Arrow Roadhouse. Hubby ordered the meatloaf dinner and he liked it very much. I ordered the Roadhouse Classic Reuben minus the sauerkraut and 1000 island dressing! The house-cooked corned beef, warm, very lean, and incredibly tender on griddled marbled rye, with melted Swiss cheese was one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had! The fries were perfectly cooked and hot. Our server was a dream. Friendly and welcoming. She made us want to come back! The next time we’re in New Buffalo, we will definitely visit this restaurant again.“

“The lobster bisque was outstanding as was my Dover sole. Price was good on that as well. Recently saw it on a menu in the Chicagoland area and they were charging $80. Loved the table side serve too. Had my favorite Sauvignon Blanc as well! My husband loved his oysters Rockefeller and the bread pudding. Lovely service.“

“The Ribs and wings are delish! Great salads, pizzas and the bread pudding is out of this world! The staff is amazing!“

“We didn’t expect our experience at Timbers to be so enjoyable. We were so surprised at how nice, fun and helpful the staff was. The food was good (pizza, salad & cheesesteak sandwich) and prices weren’t too bad. Just can’t say enough about the dining staff, great job!!“

“This was our first visit to the Staymaker, which is the restaurant within the Journeyman Distillery. We are visiting from Chicago and this was recommended and we were not disappointed! Everything was really excellent! From our charming and attentive server Hailey, to the amazing smoked trout spread app to the Trout entree and the brisket meatloaf. It was all so delicious! We will be back!“

“Excellent menu, delicious food, good variety, friendly and professional staff, local business, clean and pleasant dining room.“

“If you’re in the Bridgman area this is the place to go for all Cubs games. They also have a nice bar setup, so even in the baseball offseason, I’d recommend going there to watch your game. The staff is very friendly and they have a nice Chicago themed menu with burgers, sandwiches, hotdogs, etc.“

“10/10 supper yummy food support local !!“

“Would give 5 stars for delicious pizza and good beer, but the music (good selections!) was extremely loud. Difficult to hold conversations. Had headache by time I left.“

“Been here many times. We had a great dinner here the other night as always. The zucchini blossoms are delicious and the sauce to dip them is so good. The blueberry martini is my favorite.“

“Walked in a little after 2 pm on a Monday (7/14) and they were surprisingly busy. There were two women on the floor and they were phenomenal... A bit disappointed that there was no one else there to support them but they held their own. There was a large party and then several other tables and since we were coming to relax we weren't bothered with a wait, there really wasn't much of one. Ordered the pretzel bites and cheese garlic bread appetizers which were half odd. Garlic cheese bread was fantastic!! The ladies kept our drinks replenished and we look forward to returning soon.“

“It wouldn't let me post my review unless I said I recommend...People need to be warned. Apparently if you are not a regular, they will give your table to one of them even if you reserved months in advance. Hostess and Manager do not value out of owner business so go somewhere else. The only option I could choose was "slow service" but wait staff were better than management.“

“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.“
