Fall color tours are a must in SW Michigan as we all say farewell to Summer and her right fair…read moregreenery. We drove to Hastings, Mi via Chief Noonday road and our Fall color cravings were satisfied. When we rolled into town we chose the Riverwalk Cafe for a quick lunch near the Titabawase (sp?) River. The cafe is a modest and attractive blue diner that seems to attract blue collar folks which is a good sign of solid food comfort. My SO chose the Classic burger while I chanced the cafe's Rueben. Our friendly waitress promptly took our order and we turned our gaze beyond a wide window to the color riot surrounding us. Our sandwiches were good. Hamburger was well done and could have benefitted from some medium-rare juiciness. My Rueben contained chunky corned beef that was claimed to be house smoked. The lightly applied smoke did not conceal the great taste of brisket! Our generous portions of house made chips were tasty and mindfull of a togo box. We took a moment to cross the street to gaze at the passing waters and take our ease for a moment then moved on to the next adventure! SWEET!

We were seated in a corner spot by a bucket and a mop and a public used bathroom. Staff would walk…read morepast us with buckets to bring down to the basement right behind us. Really don't think this should be a table option. Food was edible, nothing exciting. Staff started vacuuming right near us as we were eating. Went to drink my water and my lips met a spider on the edge of my cup. Had to spit it out. Staff was fine. There was a whole dispute with the party before us saying that they couldn't be seated if their whole party wasn't there yet, even though they kept a saying that they were all present.

What a hidden gem! We visited Klosterman's sports bar and…read morepub in middle of an afternoon on a great sunny Saturday. They had TVs and entertainment throughout the bar and including a pool table. French fries are breaded and deep fried to perfection. Burgers taste like their fresh beef right off the farm and the fettuccine was cooked al dente' (which was surprising for a sports bar) I only wish the fettuccine a.k.a. chicken marsala with sautéed and garlic versus onions. It still was delicious. Just a little sweet with the Marsala wine and onions together. However, it didn't stop me from eating it was a great portion and was unable to even finish the full entrée. The guys I was with said the burgers tasted like somebody had just processed the cow in the back and made burger. That's how fresh it was. They loved the fries & each burger was cooked to perfection. The brochiè buns they use were excellent addition. The service was exceptional. We definitely will be back!! Great for families, singles, couples, you name it - they cater to please!

I had family visiting from out of town and I chose Kloostermans for dinner. Big mistake…read more We arrived at 6:00pm and got drinks. We ordered by 6:30. When we arrived there were the big tables facing S Jefferson all empty and all the table facing Court st were empty. We sat at the six top by the wall. The table next to us was empty. Within ten minutes my son's onion rings came out. Then we waited another 50 minutes to get the rest of our food. In the meantime, every table that was empty got seated and every single table got food before us. We got easy stuff. Wraps, burrito, pulled pork. I was so embarrassed. I understand you were short staffed. But come on. You were out of wings, and Diet Coke. The pulled pork was pathetic. For what you charge the sandwich should be piled high. The fish was good, my wrap was okay. The burrito was huge and I heard it was good. The Mac and cheese had some dust of some sort on it. Just a really bad experience and I am not a person who is hard to please. I don't necessarily blame the waitress. But tell me why my son got his onion rings then we waited 50 minutes for the rest. Limited menu. Probably will never go there again. By the time we got our food all the tables that arrived after us, at least 7 tables were served and left before us. The only thing that was fast was when the girl gave us the bill. Served us and gave us the bill at the same time. Do better.

I ordered a Fruit Tart ($6) , an Oreo Creme Brownie ($5), and a Chocolate Chunk Cookie ($2). The Fruit Tart was my least favorite of the items I got it was ok I'd have preferred an Egg Tart, but that wasn't an option. The brownie was excellent. Very decedent and was great with some Ice Cream at home. The Cookie was an excellent cookie and a good choice. All of the items were a little pricey, but not extraordinarily so. The service was good, friendly and efficient. Overall a solid 4 star review for the bakery. Would I return? If I was in the area then Absolutely. Considering I found Charlotte to be a very charming and beautiful town, I'm sure I will be back.

Positives: Food was good quality and fresh, vibes and decor/furniture super cute…read more Negatives: super long wait time for food, it look 40 minutes for 4 Deli Sandwiches to be delivered. We did come on a Sunday for lunch so I'm sure their high demand time. Then when we got our order it was missing one of the sandwiches, so that took another 7 minutes to get. I also had to check on my order as I saw others getting theirs before ours. Bathrooms ran out of soap and paper towels. The process for getting your food was a bit confusing as there wasn't any order numbers so you couldn't tell how many other orders were in front of yours. Would only come back if I had plenty of time to wait for food.

I also ordered two coconut macaroons, which weren't too sweet and hit the spot. This place is extremely crowded and busy so make sure you plan at least 30 minutes ahead. Wait time is long and I wouldn't recommend if you're too hungry. It was definitely very very hot day so the place was pretty stuffy, but I don't blame the deli itself, but fair warning. It's quite busy as the chef is award winning when I looked up her name online.
