    Long drive to Michigan, drove out of my way for Yelp endorsed breakfast. Disappointing is the word. "Corned beef with hash breakfast special." 2 eggs, One small piece of toast served with Corn beef, straight out of a can.. didn't even separate the little slices. Just a small pile on top of hashbrowns. Disappointing breakfast. Very plain interior. Service was great.

    Turkey Roll, anyone?

    This restaurant decided to offer one meal on Thanksgiving, and put zero effort into it. They should have actually advertised (or stated on menu) "Turkey Roll". Not only did it look disgusting but it tasted (yes I actually tasted a 1" square of it) like a salt soaked piece of, churned fake meat." The meal consisted of a choice of vegetable (few options), mashed potatoes, gravy and dressing and cranberry sauce. The dressing and potatoes were so thin they were best eaten with a spoon, certainly wouldn't stay on a fork. The potatoes contained some other type of fake meat which may have been a fake bacon, and were still flavor less. The 1 tablespoon of canned cranberry sauce was served in a bowl of its own (why bother?), and stirred to hide the fact that it was canned. It actually tasted like the can. I managed to eat the soupy potatoes and dressing and left. Did I complain on the spot, no! There was no reason to complain. This wasn't a kitchen error that could be corrected. They knew what they were serving. This isn't my first attempt at eating there. I wasn't impressed before and this Thanksgiving dinner changed my mind about ever patronizing the restaurant again.

    Had lunch here with a friend on a whim after church! So delicious, we tried the fried mushrooms! They were hot and crunchy! A must have for mushroom lovers! The service was fast it didn't take long for our food and it felt real homey inside. I will be back! It's a great spot for brunch!

    This is a small unassuming place in a strip mall that you really have to be looking for. We started to walk in and they asked how many in our party and asked us to stand outside while they got our table cleaned and ready for us. You are required to wear a mask when walking around the restaurant. All employees wore masks. Once the table was ready they seated us and brought us menus, water and asked if we wanted any other beverages. The waitress asked if we had any questions and she was very friendly and helpful. They serve breakfast all day and also have quite a few choices for lunch and dinner. I got the Sante Fe Omelette which comes with vegetables and hot peppers and blended cheeses. There are potato's on the side and toast. This omelette was delicious and very cheesy! My friend got a Rueben Sandwich and it came with the choice of French Fries, coleslaw or cottage cheese. He loved his sandwich and said it was a 5-star sandwich!! The food came out so quickly it was hard to believe, but it was very tasty and the total bill was $20 for 2 meals- very reasonable. They rang up my debit card right at the table. I would definitely come here again.

    Needed a quick lunch but did not want fast food. Found Crimson Cafe on Yelp and it looked promising. The place is in a plaza and pretty unimpressive but do not be fooled by the outside! The inside was clean and comfortable. I noticed a lot of carry-outs making their way out of the place, so I figured that was a good sign. Bathrooms are single stall and decently clean. I believe the owner was our waitress and she was fabulous. Friendly and attentive! Simple but effective menu. Love that breakfast is served all day and good options for lunch/dinner. The prices are also affordable. I went breakfast and my husband went lunch. I got the french toast and bacon. Big portions of the french toast and good flavor. The bacon was cooked how I wanted - slightly crispy. My husband got the tomato basil soup and it tasted fresh and homemade - tons of flavor, especially the basil. The chicken Caesar salad was great - good amount of dressing, chicken was cut nicely and hot, and big portion. Everything came out pippin' hot! Really glad we found Crimson Cafe and I highly recommend you give it a try!

    Just an update from last year!!! Only gotten better. Why would u eat anywhere else. Husband and wife team. He cooks, she serves. Feeling like ur a guest in their home. She's in top of everything. You can adjust ur meal to suit ur taste. The hubby's cooking, impeccable. Taste, presentation...entree salads, omelets, pasta, sandwiches, a huge choice for such a quaint cafe. I noticed lots of carry outs. Cannot beat the reasonable menu pricing. Pay attention to the hours. Closing mid afternoon some days. Dinner served other days. We paid attention as we didn't want to miss our visits. A delightful family, a very delicious meal.

It was our first time dining at Silver Harbor and won't be our last. The atmosphere is exactly what you'd expect from a small craft brewery. Fun, lively, and modern-- a place where people of all ages can enjoy a great drink and some tasty grindage (yes, I just quoted Pauly Shore)... The unique beer selection hits all the marks and my seltzer was exactly what I needed after a long day in the sun getting burnt at the beach! We started our meal with the Bacon Apple Fig Flatbread and it was outstanding. I'd order it again and again. The Hubbs got the Michigan Olive Burger and practically licked his plate afterward! My Asian Crunch Salad was top-notch--I wish every restaurant had a salad like this!! It was fresh and delicious and paired perfectly with the flatbread. If you're traveling along Michigan's beautiful Sunset Coast, make sure to stop into Silver Harbor! Leave the beach early and get there before everyone else does! You won't be sorry! :)

My husband got the "in a van down by the river" cocktail, which I tasted, and we both agreed was delicious. For our appetizer, which we had never ordered one before from this establishment, we got the Wisconsin cheese curds. The sauce it came with reminds me of a good sauce for onion rings and was just as amazing on the cheese curds (it was called Sunny ranch I believe). We both got our usual entrees, my husband ordered a double smash burger and I got the atomic punk sandwich, both of which came with fries. My husband devoured his food, while my anxiety basically required me to wait until we got home to eat. I would definitely recommend stopping by The Brick House and grabbing a bite to eat. They have never disappointed us or the people we've sent their way.

We happened upon The Buck at around 8:30 and bellied up to the bar. The website showed they closed at 10, so we thought we would have a couple of drinks and head back to the hotel. We had never been there so I made some small talk and I learned about the wheel of indecision. I was excited to try it (knowing my husband was with me boosted my confidence cause he'll drink anything... lol). They also have a huge variety of local beers! There were still quite a few people lingering, so we settled in to enjoy our drinks. I continued to try to make small talk with the bartender, but she seemed less than thrilled to have us there. The staff began cleaning up and closing down not long after we arrived and the bartender brought us our tab pretty quickly. We attempted to get an uber starting at 9:23 (they aren't kidding about Lake effect winds!), but apparently those are few and far between in St. Joseph. They closed up all around us, so we took the hint and walked back to the hotel around 9:45. The concept was great... (we loved the wheel). I will also say, we did take a Facebook call from our daughter about halfway thru (which I know can be annoying), but even before and after that, we could tell that they were not interested in having walkins an hour and a half before closing. I'm giving this a 3 because we also understand long shifts and being ready to be done for the night, so maybe we will try again next time we are in town and I can update my review!
