The food was delicious as always! We celebrated our friend's birthday and staff was awesome with a complimentary desert for us to share!

Love this place. Everything is delish, you can't go wrong. Great for both lunch and dinner. Don't forget the lemonade cake for dessert, you will be back just for that! read more

This was a delightful experience! We had dinner here with my mom and our oldest son for Christmas. The boy had the wild boar entree - which he said was good - but he reported a 4 star. Hubs seemed to love his mussels enough that he kept trying to get the rest of us to eat them as well. My mom enjoyed her salmon enough that she was silent the whole time! My food was pretty good - my only complaint might h e been that they were out of some key ingredient to, so I had to have an option I did t want with my entree. We will be back - but probably not as quickly as to some other places. Service and setting were AMAZING read more

Bread+Bar - Menu - New American Near Me - Benton Harbor, Michigan

If you're looking for a fun, unique and enjoyable dining experience while in the Benton Harbor, Michigan area, Bread + Bar is a wonderful choice. Fourteen of us gathered there for a family dinner as part of a reunion. From beginning to end, everything just "clicked". Our server, and those who assisted her, were outstanding being incredibly responsive to everyone in a large party. In essence if someone requested something, it was promptly delivered. Equal to their stellar service, their food was outstanding. The coconut shrimp is not to be missed! A few times during our meal, Tim Foley, the owner/Chef, stopped by to make sure all was well and enjoyable. It was obvious Tim and his wife are very dedicated to providing a great experience. Bread + Bar is a dining experience worth the journey. read more

Love bread bar ... food always good ... great atmosphere... whitefish salad and foleys wedge salad are few of my -favorites

Excellent service. Great food. Great cocktails. We tried a bit of everything. My buddy tried the dessert and said it was excellent. Sorry to be so vague but our visit was two months ago. read more

Dinner, ambiance and service were wonderful. Ordered steak, Siracha chicken, and salmon all had wonderful flavor. Celebrated a family occasion and never felt rushed. Entire experience was excellent and will definitely be back. read more

My fave place to have lunch with a chocolate malt with my dad. Grew up going to Shady Shores every summer. My father passed in 2020. I plan on making the trip to Lutz for a malt in his honor soon. Best onion rings!! read more

Always consistent in quality and staff and owners always make me feel welcome! Perfect spot! Amazing ambiance and great service!

First time here and the tartines are amazing!!! Roasted tomato & caponata were savory, fresh, tangy, and very tasty - these two are my favorites! The smoke whit fish over the field greens was nice and light. I was expecting a heavier taste but this was better with the cream cheese. The atmosphere has a very cool, modern vibe with the farm to table setting. I was really impressed! I will come back to try more dishes! read more

Had Valentine's day dinner and it did not disappoint! Great welcoming staff, beautiful ambiance, and delicious food. Definitely a return visit will be necessary to try more menu items. read more

The place doesnt have the best view compared to the other riverside or lakefront restaurants in the area. Nevertheless, they got quite food and service. Their Sriracaha Chicken with cold Soba Noodles was probably the best dish we had in StJo. Though my halibut dinner was a bit underseasoned, being owned by the same people as A Bit of Swiss, the free fresh bread and butter makes up for it. I could definitely see ourselves coming back to this place on our next visit. read more

Wonderful first experience. Delightful in all aspects. Do try the pink lemonade cake- you will be glad that you did. Limited menu from 3-5 with "Happy Hour" cocktail specials. Free/no password Wi-Fi. Lots of parking. Nice view of St. Joseph river from patio. read more

Fantastic food and great service . The restaurant is spacious and the customers are friendly.

This has been on our list to try for awhile and we finally had the chance to stop in for a drink and snacks on a Saturday afternoon. We arrived around 4:30 and we're cheerfully greeted by the hostess. The place was pretty empty so we had our choice of seating. We opted for the patio. Inside and out, the place is welcoming and cozy. Happy hour runs from 3-5 with a $1 off drinks and a limited food menu. They have a nice selection of local beers on draft and I've heard the cocktails are great, but didn't see a drink menu. I ordered a glass of chardonnay (Edna Valley for $8) and my husband opted for a beer. The complimentary bread basket included sliced pretzel sticks and a wheat sourdough. The place done by Bit of Swiss so you know the bread is good! The tartines made for the perfect snack. You select three for $9.50. Each tartine is three pieces on perfectly grilled como bread. We selected the smoked whitefish, serrano ham with manchego and the cannellini bean. Service was great and the place started filling up around 5:00. The dinner entrees and specials sounded great and they have a nice lunch menu as well. We will definitely be back! read more

I LOVE this place, in both summer and winter. They really transform their menu with the seasons, keeping it light and fresh in the summer and warm and cozy meals in the winter, all while keeping their staples on the menu. They're open for lunch as well with a menu just as extensive as dinner. It's become my favorite place to bring my customers! Now onto the food: Amazing specials every night. Some of my favorite MUST try's Nana's Meatballs(best meatballs I've ever had) and French Onion purses (French onion soup in a bite size wonton.....absolute genius idea). The lamb chops with pomegranate glaze and the skirt steak are also at the top of my list. Lastly, DO NOT SKIP OUT ON THE CARBS or SWEETS. The owners of bread+bar are the same owners and Bit of Swiss. Every single piece of bread and dessert in the place is phenomenal. The desserts perfectly settle the stomach after a light but hearty meal! Breadbar always keeps me coming back for more! read more

Nice upscale restaurant. It is noisy because it is basically one large room without any walls or dividers. There is patio seating weather permitting. The menu is not very large and if you want a steak you won't find it here. All in all it's a good alternative to the downtown hustle and bustle. read more

Absolutely phenomenal meal! Service was amazing and even got a chance to meet Tim, the owner. Don't go any place until you've been to Bread +Bar! read more

The food was great, the people were great, the wine was great. Overall wonderful experience. Their Sriracha chicken is very unique and delicious. Their skirt steak is also delicious. It's nice to go out and have no complaints whatsoever. Also a nice atmosphere. Cheers to Tim and his family. read more

I used to really like this place. Ladt visit 2 years ago, when service was terrible. Manager or owner was sitting in a booth with customers, instead of helping to get food out of the kitchen. Walked up and apologized for the bad service, but with a crappy, "oh well, it happens" atitude. Gave them another chance last night. Still poor service. Simple chicken rice soup only so so. No salt or pepper on table, or offered for my salad. Can't get water or glasses, no offer for dessert. Will not ever return. read more

Stopped in for dessert... awesome atmosphere, friendly staff & amazing Coconut Cheesecake!

Just a quick update from my return visit to Bread+Bar. Food and service were both a big step up from my first visit. Swordfish was outstanding and service was great which made for a great evening out on the patio. read more

Stopped in for lunch before heading back to St. Joseph for the evening. The Bread + Bar is a pretty hip, trendy place with cool modern décor and large, breezy dining room. Went light on the food since it was lunch, so I chose the tomato soup and a half sandwich. The soup was pretty plain - not bad, but compared to the rich and decadent version I had at 221 Main the night before, the Bread + Bar one paled in comparison. The turkey sandwich was also no frills, but it satisfied me just fine. Hubby went with the roast beef on a pretzel bun. He said the roast beef was good quality and the pretzel bun was very good. Overall, it was just fine for lunch. Nothing fancy or different, but for a quick meal in a sit-down restaurant, Bread + Bar was perfect. We'd go back for dinner if we were locals, for sure. read more

What a gem! Very good food, very nice staff. We enjoyed a delicious meal and they accommodated us bring our small dog on the patio. Do not miss the French onion purses. Very unique appetizer. Overall excellent experience from beginning to end. read more

Nice lighting and a cozy atmosphere- we got here on a rainy night. Good service, easy to ask and not hovering over. Vegetarian/vegan: several items available but a bit pricey for the area. Roasted eggplant and lentils $16, smaller dish. Bread (free) is excellent, this is a bakery-spun joint. Excellent dessert-we got a Creme brûlée and it was spot on! A bit cool, but perfectly smooth custard, not too sweet but every spoonful was satisfying Will come back with a larger group(4-6) so we can sample their tartines and the rest of Vg offerings read more

Must try their happy hour from 4 to 5pm. Great appetizers and cocktails at a very good price.

The food was excellent-bursting with flavor! The French onion purses were unique and delicious, the golden tile fish was moist and flavorful sitting on a bed of thyme grains. Generous portions. The staff was amazing! We had at least 5 different staff attend to us for varying needs-ALL smiling, personable, attentive;a rare find these days. Mr Foley (the owner) stops by to insure customers are satisfied. Even the staff cooking are visible through large windows from the parking lot are smiling and waving!! The only reason I did not rate 5 star is that it is very loud. High industrial like ceilings though trendy lend to challenging acoustics when the restaurant is full-Difficult to have a conversation while dining. Thanks Hannah & Brianna for your cheery attentive service. read more

This place exceeded expectations. It was costly but worth it. They had some great specials and as the title implies great bread. The bread is from bit of Swiss bakery. read more

Food was fantastic, fine dining extraordinary experience. Every course was perfect from the French onion purses, charcuterie along with all our entrees! The service was so efficient and friendly. Ivy did an outstanding job at explaining the menu and making us feel special! I will recommend the Foley's Bread + Bar to all my clients, friends and family who want a special treat and a beautiful place to dine. read more

Nice atmosphere. Food was great! I had a salad and soup but others at my table got full meals and they all enjoyed them.

I found this place through Yelp reviews and was so glad we did, cute little patio that we sat out on with a view of the harbor. We had a really nice waitress (Brynn I believe) who was so welcoming. Atmosphere was great as well, we got the chicken and waffles for my daughter (I mat have eaten half) and they were delicious.I had a prickly pear margarita (yum) and my husband and I share the coconut shrimp and tuna to start, shrimp was delicious, I would prob pass on the tuna next time. Then we shared the eggplant Parmesan special, also so good and the bread was a wonderful addition to it all. What a cute spot, we will definitely be back! read more

Very unhappy with this place. I had tried this place once before in the past and thought the food was really good. However, tried to go back today and had a terrible experience. Waited for almost 20 minutes for any waitress/waiter to come. My sister and I ended up leaving since no one ever came to take our order. The whole atmosphere didn't seem welcoming from the moment we came in. Won't be going here again. read more

our go-to for cozy family dinners. excellent menu with amazing rotating seasonal specials; service is always loving. bread+bar always has my vote when asked: "where do you want to meet for dinner?" read more

Had dinner with the hubby here for date night and nothing beats the glow of bread+bar, except for maybe their bread. The apps were tasty, drinks were good, and meat cooked well. Can't wait to visit again! read more

Cute place you would never know was there. It is across the street from the water. Has a nice patio(if it is warm enough). The food was good. Simple sandwiches but well constructed and good ingredients. Our server needed to know more about the beers. May I suggest a beer list that is updated when you get new seasonals read more

It became a running joke at the point the third thing we wanted was " out of stock"... That was a martini and they were " out of the flavored vodka"... Really? Anyway we ended up with the french onion " purses" and it was a unique and tasty play on the the soup. The chocuate cake for dessert was quite good read more

Returned to bread+bar yesterday for happy hour and enjoyed it even more than the first time! We tried two of the craft beers and a specialty cocktail and enjoyed them all. Their slider menu is innovative and we ordered all except the portobello one. Eggplant and Italian sausage versions were outstanding but honestly, they were all great! Then we tried the French onion purses, the baked French onion soup and the bacon & cheese biscuits with maple butter - wow...delicious and filling! The staff is very friendly, the bartender gave us a bit of history about the building and the owners - we're not normally ones to sit and eat at the bar but we will be from now on! Great experience, wonderful place! read more
