Best KPortal Reviews

I took a day trip to New Buffalo, MI, while on my trek to visit all 50 states; several people HIGHLY recommended this restaurant. And as soon as my food arrived, i immediately knew why. Everything served was hot and made fresh.
My server recommended I try the jalapeño poppers and OMG...they sent me to taste bud heaven. These XL poppers had so much flavor with just enough heat, I couldn't put them down. They went well with the sauce.
I also ordered the fish and chips and was not disappointed. The fish was piping hot and was what I expected. The only thing I didn't like was the way they make their fries. They are peeled very thin, almost like they attempted to make potato chips, however they weren't fried hard enough for me to like them. If I were to go back, I'd probably order a different side.
Lastly, my second favorite menu item was the canned ginger beer, To my surprise, it was a Georgia based brand. I tried it for the very first time at the restaurant, and I immediately was hooked. I can't wait to get back and order a case for the house. I LOVE ginger beer.
I highly recommend this place. I would fly all the way from Georgia just to eat here again.
Really cool spot with a great variety of items on the menu. We got the fish n chips and a chicken salad with garlic fries and it was such a delicious meal! Service was very friendly and attentive as well. Will be returning sometime soon! Make sure to try the fish and chips it’s cooked to perfection and packs a ton of flavor ????
Our first time here in New Buffalo and heard so much about this place. Arrived here at 5pm on a Saturday and just a short 10 minutes wait. Place was so cute with lots of pictures of what else? Adorable dogs! Not too busy and we were the only one waiting to be seated.
Food was exceptional!!! Hubby and I shared everything since we're both not a big eater and we just went to a wine tasting before. We shared a large blue moon, fried calamari, onion rings and a short ribs grilled cheese. It was soooooo delicious. A bit greasy but I needed the grease to absorb the wine. Cute bar atmosphere and would absolutely come back for the food again if we're ever in New Buffalo again. Yum!
The food, services, and atmosphere of the whole place was really nice. The place is decorated in tons of dog pictures, and if you’re a dog lover like me, you’d really appreciate it. There was a ton of staff working. The place was busy but managed very well.
For starters we got Mahi Tostada, it was wonderful! The short rib Mac n cheese was fantastic and Yum Yum burger was different but also wonderful! Very happy over all with my experience and next time I’m in town I will be going back.
Awesome restaurant in a great location. Great food with an extensive menu. Great selection of beers and wine and cocktails. I had an Ahi salad that was awesome. Great service and atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this place.
We've stopped here on and off for years. Every time there was at least a two hour wait. Well my Dad and I came here on Sunday, and like an miracle, there were seats available! Finally!
I would say it was worth the wait ???????? We just came to get a drink and an appetizer. The bloody Mary was done right, and the Philly cheese steak egg rolls were the bomb! On a somewhat cold February day they hit the spot even more! The service was really good too, everyone was conversational and did great with their recommendations. I would definitely return.
Such a cute spot in New Buffalo located on the channel with water views. Cozy, fun atmosphere with charming decor. Any restaurant with a fireplace is a winner in my book! Super friendly service. Amazing onion rings and delicious burgers. I’ve seen billboards for this place on I-94 for years….and I’m so glad I finally stopped to check it out. I’ll definitely go back!
My boyfriend and I enjoyed every moment of our experience here. Lauren C., our server, was stellar for real. We appreciated the staff, the upbeat atmosphere, and the food. Thank you! If we are ever back in this area we will 100% come visit again. xoxo
