    Front of Bob's shop.

    What a quaint place this is! We have been passing the Bob's Processing sign on M-140 for YEARS from Grand Rapids to our cottage in Watervliet. I always thought this was a place to bring in the deer you just hunted, til our cottage neighbors told us about this place. Embarrassing as l am originally from Benton Harbor and he is from Chicago! Anyways, it is a short 2 miles down the country road and there is a medium sized sign in the front yard of a white house. Behind the house, in view from the road, is a red barn. Inside was pretty amazing! There were many flavors of meats and fish. Bacon, jerky, smoked fish dips, sausages, brats, steaks, etc. We bought two 12 oz ribeyes, Olive burger patties (in a 4 pack), a pound of pepper bacon, cheddar meat sticks, jalapeños brats (4 pack), a small brick of smoked Swiss cheese and one of cheddar cheese. All for less than $70, which l thought was fair. Steaks, burgers and brats were all from the freezer. They also had some side dishes available like baked beans and potato salad. The young gal working the register is a granddaughter of the owner, told us they are open year round. A sign behind her said to ask about their "Friday Rib Special", so l did. You can call before noon on Friday to order ribs and pick them up between 4-5pm. Everything looked to be of good quality. The barn/shop looked very clean snd well stocked. My husband and l are very excited to try the items we purchased!

    First round of goodies!

    How good is Bob's Processing? Good enough to warrant a 2-1/2 hour drive from Chicago to South Haven for Bob's delectable bacon!

    This place is the best for quality meat at great prices. We load up several times a year. Bobs crew is helpful and very service oriented.

    Zick's actually referred me to Bob when I asked Gary regarding where I could find smoked fish (fresh) local fish.

    Meijer OREO Persian: For a grocery store bakery, I've been pretty impressed with the doughnuts at…read moremy local Meijer (although the selection is sadly wildly inconsistent). A Pershing/Persian is a doughnut that is similar to a cinnamon roll but is made with doughnut batter. Meijer has had a plethora of Persian varieties lately, with one of them going for a cookies and cream vibe. The surface of this pastry contains a whipped cream-like frosting with miniscule chocolate cookie pieces. Due to their small size, the crumbles don't add any texture but do add a faint chocolate flavor to the creamy topping. One mini-OREO cookie can be found within the topping as the finishing touch. The cinnamon flavor of the pastry's body is sweet and relatively subtle with no uncomfortable burning/heat to it. Cinnamon granules can be seen in the dough after taking a few bites if you look closely enough. I found the dough to have a nice thick and chewy texture while also being light and pillowy. Initially I had some trepidation as the topping did not appear very thick, which concerned me because the topping to pastry ratio would be way off. Although I still think it could have been a little thicker, the ratio was sufficient for the most part. Like the majority of the doughnuts I've consumed from Meijer, it's Doughboy approved Doughboy_Food_Reviews

It was well marbled, properly charred , and cooked at the right temp ! A winner. Unfortunately , it was an expensive experience with a big price tag. Stay away from the double baked potato - it came highly recommended by the server. Go to the baked potato where you decide the taste. Coming from a Chicagoland dinning experience , I thought the ambiance was steakhouse appropriate . Not your Southwest dinner experience - very upscale . Our server was excellent - she did an excellent job describing the various cuts of meat and various preparations. She was always available when we needed attention . Give it a try I think you will like the steak - just be prepared for budget breaker steakhouse meal.

    We are currently seating (well we just left) the restaurant a few hours ago…read more The workings don't seem to want to even be here. They all have long faces, but maybe one, she isn't our waitress. The waitress acted put out to even wait on us. The hostess had a long face too. When we left she said have a good evening! When we ordered our order we asked for salads. She asked do you want them to come out before the dinner. We replied yes, they came out when our dinner came to the table. The croutons were soggy, salad and just okay. We told her we would want a glass of wine with our dinner too, she forgot that too and didn't even mention it at all. We didn't have a chance to order one, because she never came back to check on us. We asked for a non-toasted bun for my eight year-old's burger.That came out well toasted! When we asked for a different bun, she( the waitress ) actually rolled her eyes, my mom whom very rarely comments, said that was completely unacceptable . The waitress name was Density, I believe because we heard the fun crowd behind us on a high table.They were laughing too, because they got up to get their bread. When the waitress came over to get some to go boxes. I asked her if bread was part of the meal. She said yes, would you like some. We were already finished with our meal and paying for our dinner. The waitress let us know that the cold chocolate cake was on the house, to funny! The entire experience was a trip!!! We ordered our drinks when we sat down. They took over 15 minutes., I wasn't timing the drink time, however I ended up inquiring about our drinks with the bartender. He was the manager too. I I motion for the manager/bar tender over to our table. I just said wanted to let him know about our experience. That the drinks were never even put into the system and he had no idea. He was WAY too busy chatting it up with a few locals at the bar to even care about his customers. Plus it was hard to not see how completely trashed the bar looked. The bartender/manager name is Jeremy. He was a trip in so many ways! He seemed all jacked up on something or maybe just has really bad ADHD. I get it, ADHD isn't easy to deal with at all. Either way, his lack professionalism and non-awareness was going on around him and others dining was completely unacceptable. If I was the owner, I'd be really upset. The lighting in the place was beautiful! I work in the service industry, so I know how some days can be off. I do hair and my moto is, if you can't make it then you fake it! I just can't believe the service as a high end restaurant as they describe via online as a high-end-steak place. I read the last few reviews, I don't read reviews because we all have our own experiences. Believe me when I say this about the place and so do the last several guests. The steak was good, we had the filet. The baked potato was dry and under cooked, horrible! My daughter's burger was just okay, it was over cooked too, but we didn't complain at all about the food. My mom and I both smiled when she asked about 20 minutes after getting our food, how does it taste. She forgot about my mom ordering some onion and she forgot about the salt and pepper. Well to close it out, we are BIG tippers and we didn't leave her much at all, but it was in cash. Our tips are normally 25-20:/: cash tip always, but not tonight. Sorry.:/ This place needs some serious help, whom ever owns this place needs to have a lot more awareness. Ps the bathroom had over flowing trash too. Just visiting on a mother, daughter and granddaughter vacation. We love South Haven! I would suggest Clementine's for food, fun and amazing service! More places too!:))) Think before you book a reservation!
