We stopped at the Hard Rock, located in the Four Winds Casino, for a quick evening meal. We both ordered the filet and didn't really expect it to be as great as it was, after all, this isn't a steak house! Anyway, we were very pleased that our meat turned out just as we ordered it. It was tender, flavorful and juicy. Also the potatoes and asparagus were also excellent. Our service was great also. Much better service and meal than the last time we were here, about two years ago!Hi Janet,Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are glad you enjoyed your recent visit. We will share your comments with our team and hope you can visit us again soon. Thank you for choosing to dine at Hard Rock Cafe Four Winds. Have a wonderful day.

This place was recommended for breakfast and, in particular, the blueberry French toast. My husband and I both ordered this hearty breakfast. It took up most of the plate and included a little strawberry and pineapple as garnish. They use blueberry bread as the base to make the French toast and it was delicious. Also Michigan maple syrup was provided and I would suggest to add just a little of it to your French toast so as to not overwhelm the meal; it really didnât even need syrup. Our waitress was super friendly, very eager to please, and service was quick and thoughtful. My husband enjoyed coffee and a glass of milk, while I delighted in the tea. The place seems to be a favorite local eatery with families arriving just as we were leaving. Outdoors there were plenty of beautiful hanging baskets. Inside was simple and laid back.

My friend and I went for food. We sat at the bar and ate some delicious appetizers. We then adjourned to the outside patio for drinks. The bartender was very nice and personable. She engaged with the customers and seemed like she was having fun. The other staff was quite friendly, as well.

Popular place! Ran into a couple friends while there! Went for the Friday night seafood buffet and was pleasantly impressed with items that Iâm not usually impressed by; mussels and butterflied-breaded-deep fried shrimp. They both had above average flavor, not rubbery, and just enough breading. Everything else was good, not necessarily above-average. Iâll go back again!

Every time Iâve passed through New Buffalo with time to spare, Redamakâs had been closed for the winter. This time though, it worked out and they were open. I arrived roughly an hour after opening and the place was nearly packed, but seating and service was still quick nonetheless. The menu was a lot onto take in at once, so I just went for the standard Velveeta Burger and fries. Once again, service was quick and the food showed up sooner than expected. Everything tasted good and we left happy.I can see why Redamakâs is so popular, and it is definitely worth a visit if youâre in the area .

If you want a special place to dine and get terrific food and service, eat at Copper Rock and then visit the gambling floor. The service from our waitress, Susanne, was friendly and ver professional from start to finish! Even the hostess took our phot )my birthday celebration) and then gave us a copy before we left. Start with the amazing bread basket and no less than five dipping spreads to try. Turns out they have a price fixe menu that cannot be beat. Start with a salad, then your choice of several main dishes, and finish with a choice of several desserts. I couldn't eat it all! My strip steak and my wife's filet were amazing. Our only minor concern was the salt and pepper coating for the baked potato - just a little heavy on the pepper. An extensive wine list as well. They always seem to offer consistent service! Spend the $$ and try it.HI GolfJim,Thank you for taking the time to write a review and happy birthday. We are glad you enjoyed the entrees on your visit and that Susanne could make it memorable. We will share your comments with our team and hope you are able to visit us again soon. Have a wonderful day and thank you for choosing to celebrate your special day at Copper Rock Steakhouse.

Once again, I have returned to a favorite spot to eat in New Buffalo. The seating areas, are well lit, the tables are spaced comfortably, the service is prompt and friendly, the menu selection, includes items to fit most appetites, and the food is very tasty. I have explored other options for lunch and dinner in New Buffalo. As my son once said to me, "You know how, you have your favorite, and then you try somewhere else, and then you are reminded of why the other place is your favorite?""Yes, I do know!"

Buffalo Bill's is right across the street from Redamaks. I cannot figure out why there are so many more cars at Redamaks when it's so mediocre, and Buffalo Bill's is so good. We have had a cottage in Union Pier for 30 years and we know the good from the touristy. Go to Bills. I'm partial to the brisket, and my wife raves about the pulled pork. The coleslaw is perfect, as is the potato salad. There are a half dozen entrees and a dozen sides. Plenty of beer options, too.The owner is a long-time experienced restaurant consultant. He's almost always on duty, making sure everything runs smoothly.Why DO people eat gunky hamburgers across the street when they could get a great meal for the same price? It's just one of life's mysteries, I suppose.
