“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.“

“Just came back from Easter brunch 2026 and I have to tell you that had to be the best brunch buffet I have ever had! Their food is always exceptional there but this was so spot on from the breakfast items to the main course and of course, the salad was out of this world. But of course, my favorite was the prime rib. It was so juicy so tender cooked perfectly, and the ham was smoked with such a flavor to it from what I understand they also do this on Mother’s Day and I look so forward to that. I went with my family and my great grandchildren and they just enjoy eating at the union pier social and my good friend Steve is the manager there and basically runs the whole show and he just took it out of the park. I suggest if you’ve never ever patronize the union pure social you need to go because all your Round their food is just exceptional on Tuesdays they have bingo. It is so much fun that you can eat play bingo meet friends I love going there and I suggest everyone you need to try it. You will not be sorry.“

“Last dined at Skips in January 2026 , let me say this , first biggest complaint is that after looking at my credit statement I saw that they tacked on an extra $20 charge on my credit card without my permission , after questioning them they did remove the charge , second the food was fair at best , I ordered the Walleye which I'm not sure it was even Walleye , it tasted and looked more like Tilapia ( 2 small filets ) , wife had the Salmon which she said was just ok . I bragged about this place to the others that were with us and they agreed it was nothing to write home about , ,will I go back to Skips , no but they probably don't carel“

“Honestly, the restaurant is in the middle of nowhere. When we were driving, we saw some old farms, big and old house. So the decor was not the best.
From the outside, the restaurant looks rustic.
But when the food come, it was amazing.
I definitely recommend it.“

“This was a great place to catch lunch while passing through New Buffalo. The view of the channel was nice. We sat on the porch as it was beautiful outside. The food was a little overpriced but it wasn’t extreme. The Caesar salad was excellent as was the chicken sandwich. The drinks were okay - you can probably skip those. Service was friendly and attentive. I wish the porch was a little bigger. It wasn’t very intimate. That said, it wasn’t loud and it didn’t detract too much from our experience. We would absolutely go back.“

“We were there for our 51th anniversary and were advised by our son this was the place for steak.we usually only go there for the casino and had not been in the copper Rock for years due to a lackluster prior experience. HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED I placed our reservation the day before as most of the time slots were gone on the current day I was considering & glad I did. Our waitress was Sue and she went above and beyond addressing our concerns & my needs ( my wife says I'm the need one).Also my wife's name is Sue too My wife had the surf & turf . I had the Bison bone in ribeye along with the 6oz lobster tail as I am not a filet lover.Sue took care of the change without a problem I learned a great restaurant with always work with their customers & the copper rock Was no exception. As my son advised to try the breads he was spot on.along with the different spreads. Cheddar with bacon was my favorite. The ONE THING I have a Big pet peeve Is getting my courses shotgunned This was not the case ,all courses came well spaced apart & we never needed to ask for refills . The bread on the other hand was gone in a flash & the good news is I didn't have to wait long for more.i fell in with mutigraim with raisons Thanks Sue ( who by the way has been with the Rock since it first opened I believe she said since 2007 . I would give my eye teeth for an employee like her) For one of the best anniversary dinners in our 51yrs Thanks again Chet & Sue Donati DMC SEC SERVICING OUR CUSTOMERS FOR OVER 53 YRS“

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.“
