Mr Bs Rustic Tavern
Sep 16, 2009 by Heather from Howell

Overall Rating: 3
Food:[8] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[7]

• Food quality, atmosphere.
• Ability to serve in less than 50 minutes for party of 8 ordering lunch special.

“Our party of 8 went for a business luncheon. We had one hour to eat. After 50 minutes, our order still was not served. Waitress was not problem, kitchen is not efficient in handling business luncheons for size larger than 2. Other tables around us were served before us, even though they entered restaurant 30 minutes after us. Don't go there unless you have time to spare for waiting.”

• Great food and cold beer.
• Nothing I could see.

“It's a great old fashioned downtown tavern with great bar food. The specials are different every day from Halibut to great Prime Rib Sandwiches. The prices are fair and the service is great.”

Smackwater Jacks
Sep 8, 2009 by Bobby

Overall Rating: 6
Food:[8] • Service:[3] • Atmosphere:[7]

• Wonderful food - but be prepared for a long wait if you go.
• Management seemingly does not care about the customer.

“The food creativity is wonderful. One of the best Mac and Cheese dishes I've had anywhere - globally! The wait staff was non-existent, the bartender was rushed / running / sweaty - I purposely did not go to the local Dive Bar up the street - seems like I should have? This place must be like game or a novelty to the owners as there is no real focus on the customer - only on atmosphere: newer building built as a turn-of-the-century structure, 12 or so micro-brewed tap beers, tidy and very nicely appointed dining area, however, the chairs / stools in the bar area were falling apart and wobbly to the point of dangerous. While I was there, two tables came in - and left prior to getting served (20 minutes waiting for a waiter). The beer selection was varied but mediocre in quality - the bartender ill-knowledgeable on the taste / flavor / styles. This was a festival weekend too. Maybe it is not necessary to ensure transient patrons are served well? The people seemed like they wanted to help - like they were genuine - but were over-worked as there were not enough on-staff and did not know enough about the products. The manager sat at the bar texting - it's good to be king! Good potential - poor management - which flows down to the lack of knowledge of the staff and the survival mode they are put in with too little of them to go around - and it flows into this unhappy customer. Pity.”

Villa Restuarant & Pizzeria
Aug 29, 2009 by Debra from Roseville, MI

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[9] • Atmosphere:[10]

• Great selection of Italian foods, good service at a reasonable price.
• There is one server who may be having a bad day, but somehow we always seem to make her crack a smile!

“We live locally and have been coming here for a number of years. The staff is accommodating, friendly and greets us by name. The food is excellent value for the price (which is reasonable) and is family owned and operated. We love the atmosphere (which is romantic) and have never heard them play anything other than fine Italian music. They also have great Cannolis. They are also very good with larger groups and take reservations for parties over 6. It is definitely a must for the out-of town traveler who wants to go where the locals dine.”

Halo Burger

“Halo Burger is one of my favorite places to eat on my way up to Clare. The food there is outstanding!”

Huck's Happy Go Lucky Inc
Aug 24, 2009 by Bob from Mountney

Overall Rating: 2
Food:[5] • Service:[2] • Atmosphere:[3]

• Huck's normal routine and friendly atmosphere.
• Danish Festival prices which hurt both locals and visitors, Huck's can't survive on their regular prices?

“Friday August 21, 2009 during Danish Festival for lunch. We live in Greenville so we are aware that everyone raises their prices at this time to get as much as possible from visitors and locals alike. Well my wife ordered a deluxe hamburger with extra tomato. When we got the bill we were charged 99 cents 3 times for the three slices of tomato on the hamburger This is terrible. She did not even get free tomato with the burger, nor was she advised it would cost a dollar a slice for each slice of tomato in the burger. I could buy 3 lbs of tomatoes for that price (about 1/2 sliced tomato). Is this right! This is not how you treat your supporters, friends, customers and expect them to come back again. I am very disappointed in the way we were treated and how we were charged with even being told the costs until too late. She never would have gotten extra tomato if she knows this. Where was her tomato that comes with the burger? Did she have to pay for that, too? There were four of us together and believe me they were taken aback also. Is it that necessary for Huck's to raise its prices for Danish? You gain a few bucks, but lose your customers. Take a hint from Down Home, they kept their regular prices and charged more for specials. They were crowded all the time. You can hardly find a seat on Sundays each and every week. Their prices are good, food good, and although the first place failed, this one is extremely successful. What's their secret?”

The Shepherd Bar & Restaurant Inc
Aug 21, 2009 by Bob from Shepherd

Overall Rating: 9
Food:[9] • Service:[9] • Atmosphere:[9]

• Good quality food and service for the price.
• Can get busy, so a wait is possible.

“Good food and good service for the price. Weekly specials are good and the pizza is excellent. Recommended for a relaxing dinner and drinks for two.”

84 East Pasta
Aug 14, 2009 by KP from M Indiana

Overall Rating: 3
Food:[3] • Service:[3] • Atmosphere:[8]

• My company.
• The food, service and price.

“As a Quasi - Hollander, by marriage and frequent visits to the city, my wife and me are well acquainted with good places to grab dinner. Lackluster service, at least from our waitress, mixed with bad food created a rather big disappointment for what are usually great culinary experiences when we visit. If you chose to drop in, skip the Carbonara and opt instead for the baked spaghetti pie. Otherwise, expect a bland flavor from the house Alfredo (so skip some of the other dishes with this base sauce) and an after-taste you cannot quite place but just won't go away fast enough. Well, I am off to try and fix the food I brought home with or on second thought I am going to eat the reminder of my wife's meal which she really enjoyed!”

Wahlstroms Restaurant & Lounge

Gregs Pizza
Jul 30, 2009 by MJ from Hadley, MI

Overall Rating: 9
Food:[10] • Service:[9] • Atmosphere:[8]

• We loved the food!
• A bit crowded but given the fact the food is so good - everyone wants to come enjoy it.

“First impressions walking in the door is that this is an okay restaurant. The tables are close together, there isn't much walking room. We get seated, with our two little boys and the waitress was right there. She was pretty attentive throughout our visit. We order our food from a menu with lots of choices (I like that). They are known for their rib, so I ordered ribs and shrimp (Cayjun style), my husband ordered a Stuffed Wet Burrito. Quite possibly the best meal I have eaten at a restaurant - ever! The ribs were spectacular, tender, moist, fall off the bone. The shrimp were hands down better than anything I've ever had at a restaurant. My husbands dinner was incredible too. The stuffed wet burrito was huge, it filled the plate. He could only eat half of it. It had lots of flavor and spice - AWESOME! My oldest boy ordered their children's fish. Obviously that was great too because he finished his plate, which he rarely does, and he didn't say a peep through the whole meal. Generally he talks non-stop. The other one, ordered chicken, but he was too busy making paper airplanes with the lady sitting next to us, he couldn't finish his meal, so we brought it home for lunch.”

Bayview Gardens
Jul 25, 2009 by Betsy from Kalamazoo

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[7] • Service:[7] • Atmosphere:[10]

• The jazz band on Sunday.
• A bit hard to see the band from many of the tables.

“The food and service are adequate, but it is the live band that really makes the place worth a visit! The jazz band plays every other Sunday and they are fantastic! The drummer is an 80-year-old woman and she just blows your mind. The banjo player was extraordinary! There is a pretty decent dance floor. Do yourself a favor and check this place out some Sunday when this band is playing. You won't be sorry.”

Dairy Freeze

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[10]

• Good food. Decent prices.
• Get extremely busy at times.

“I love this place. They offer all sorts of things from ice cream to hot dogs and slushes. They are small but cozy. They have outdoor seating only but also offer a drive through window. The prices are nice and cheap and the servings are very decent sizes. Go there; I promise you won't be disappointed.”

Kelly's Venture Inn Inc
Jul 24, 2009 by Geoffrey from Grosse Pointe

Overall Rating: 1
Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[1]

• Nothing.
• Extremely rude wait staff and management/ownership.

“10 of us walked-in politely, quietly and were seated immediately. We ordered cocktails and a pitcher of beer for the adults and 3 sodas for the kids. Our friend's child has diabetes and brought his own can of diet pink lemonade because restaurants usually only have diet cola which has caffeine. As we were about to order the waitress told us we couldn't bring and outside drink in. I tried to subtly tell her (without drawing attention to our friend's son) that he has special dietary needs and if necessary we could just pour the drink in a cup. The waitress stormed off in a huff just saying she couldn't allow this. I chose to ignore this and we were about to order (what probably would have amounted to well over $150 in food and drink) when the owner/manager came over and made a very public issue over us brining in an outside drink. He said we could be trying to smuggle in booze. For crying out load, the child was drinking it when he said this! Again I tried to quietly reason with this person but he kept loudly objecting and further singling out our friend's son. At this point I simply asked for the check for the drinks we had ordered and we left. We went down the road to the Daily Limit on Grand Lake and had a fantastic dinner and excellent service from our waitress. By the way, we asked her if we could bring in a drink and she obliged by bringing us a cup with ice. We wound up spending over $160 and left her a nice tip. Too bad Kelly's Venture Inn thinks they have enough money to rudely turn away legitimate business. I would never recommend these rude people to anyone!”

Food:[5] • Service:[9] • Atmosphere:[8]

• Great waitress.
• I hardly ate any of that salad, it should have been on the house.

“My salad was watered down, but they were quick to make it right by offering a discount on our meal. Food came quickly enough, but I was so put off by the soggy lettuce in my salad that I would not go back.”

Juillerets Restaurant
Jul 21, 2009 by Disappointed from West Hartford, CT

Overall Rating: 4
Food:[4] • Service:[6] • Atmosphere:[3]

• When we were too cold, they turned off the AC.
• $9.00 for three cups coffee, outrageous.

“A simple breakfast of 2 eggs, bacon and coffee for three people cost $31.00 (toast was not included, because it is extra). When questioned, the manager said the coffee was charged at 1 pot per person. We had 2 cups of regular and 1 of decaf. There were 2 pots on the table (one regular, one decaf), yet we were charged for three.”

Brown Bear Bar

Overall Rating: 9
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[9]

• LOVE those burgers and fries!
• Atmosphere needs a little work, but who really cares when in burger bliss.

“Brown Bear was and always has been AWESOME! Best burgers ANYWHERE and we live in Chicago and have access to some of the best food anywhere. I've never had their roast beef sub (but who orders roast beef sub sandwiches at Brown Bear anyway. It's a burger joint. Duh) Anyway beats the best of the best, hands down! And those seasonal soups during asparagus season the fresh Wisconsin cheddar-asparagus was to absolutely die for. Always our first stop in Michigan. I will ALWAYS.”

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[9] • Atmosphere:[9]

• Inviting family atmosphere and food was great.
• Seating arrangements last time were a little tight but we had a huge group.

“Can't understand why this place would have a single negative review. My entire family has been eating Mama Mia food for over 15 years. Everything is great, their sauces and Italian dressing is to die for. If you want a delicious home cooked meal with some of the cheapest prices in town, eat there.”

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[8]

• Everything.
• The decor could be improved.

“The best Pizza on the planet, period! No other pizza maker can match the thickness, texture and hint of sweetness in the dough parlayed with the sauce that has just the right amount of kick without being too spicy. The restaurant is family owned and thus accentuates the friendliness in a small town atmosphere, which is now harder and harder to come by these days.”

“It's a great place with wonderful food. It's a little off the main highway but for the food it's well worth the little drive. We ordered the ceaser salad, which was wonderful, the skinny dippers were amazing and the frozen peanut butter pie was to die for.”

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[9]

• The owner was actually there talking to customers, that speaks well of the place to me.
• Pretty busy & crowded.

“Finally a restaurant in a tourist town that knows about service and how to be friendly to travelers. The food was the best we found in the area (Darrows was recommended and good, too, but was too much a Grey hair hangout for us). The pizza palace servers were good even though the place was really busy (a Saturday night) and the pizza is really the best we've had anywhere. One of the owners actually asked us for our suggestions on anything and also said they make dough and sauce every day. We used the pizza sauce to dip our appetizers its that good. We were surprised to see so much variety, its not just pizza, they, ribs, chicken, steak salads, on and on. We'll definitely be back our next trip.”

“There are so many better places in the Charlevoix area to eat, I am left to wonder how this restaurant stays in business. The prices make absolutely no sense. The special was an egg salad sandwich and a cup of soup.”

• Can't think of anything.

“The menu has so much more than pizza (the pizza brought us back the second time, but the menu coaxed us to try something different on visits 2 and 3, and are we glad we did). We'd eaten a lettuce wedge in other places and were surprised to find that the Pizza Palace's was better than most.”

“This restaurant was recommended by a "local". First, the manager / owner was a bit rude at the door (dry sense of humor) and it didn't get better from there. Service was slow an unattentitive. We waited a long time for drinks and our food (and we were one of 4 tables in the place). As far as the food goes, I have had better "Italian" food at Big Boys. I wouldn't go there again if they paid me! Stay away!”

“I live in Howell. Currently, this is one of the couple of restaurants I recommend. The food is consistent and delicious. I haven't had a bad meal yet. The menu can get pricey, but portions are a good size. If price is an issue, try them for lunch. Even the appetizers could be a meal on this menu! service is great, too. Bring a jacket if you dine inside, it gets a bit chilly!”

“For being an Italian restaurant their homemade sauce tastes like vinegar. I love my Italian food but I'll only order pizza, bread sticks, and salad from their menu. They seem to do pretty good with those items. Dinner items, on the other hand, I've had a few and wasn't too impressed.”

“We were treated very poorly there 2 days ago. Waitress arrived at out table and rudely said, "you know we close in 5 minutes". It was Sunday, before Memorial day the restaurant was closing at 2:00, they had posted a sign on the door but we did not see the sign as another lady was washing the windows as we arrived with the door propped open. We had our handicapped son with us and the waitress was downright rude in the way she put it. She could have spoken in a much better nature. Restaurant was very dirty, too.”

“Beijing Palace is a small (you might say hole in the wall). Chinese restaurant in downtown Berrien Springs. The food is excellent. It's well prepared, tastes great, and is very fairly priced. Their menu is very extensive, including many vegetarian options that cater to the local college. Their meat dishes are also excellent. From Tuesday through Friday, Beijing Palace also hosts a small lunch buffet with great food and an even greater price. If you will be staying in Berrien Springs for any amount of time, I would not miss the opportunity to try the great food here.”
