Honeymooning in Michigan: Exploring the Local Eateries

After all that wine, we needed a break...and food!

The Stray Dog Bar and Grill.  Right down the street from the hotel.

We sat on their roof top patio, nice view but hot!
Frozen strawberry vodka lemonade. 

Back at the hotel, enjoying drinks and a cigar by the water.
Our usual drinks....Godfather for Cody.  Rossini for me.

Whoops, my food post is turning back into a drink post!
We checked out the local hot spot, Redamak's.  Apparently they served the best burgers, the burger to end all burgers, the burger that put New Buffalo on the map!

That would be the menu.  It was bigger than my head.

Our verdict? Good.  But not as good as they made them sound.  Plus they were kinda pricey for burgers.   Now if they had been as awesome as they were suppose to be I wouldn't have minded as much.  Subpar expensive burgers? Just sad.  They really got you by charging you separately for everything.  Plus, you couldn't even order lettuce and tomato.   We weren't sure how they could claim to be so good with out those.  

Rosie's Diner.  YUM  We stopped in here one morning to have a hot breakfast instead of our muffin, fruit and yogurt basket from the hotel.  

So good we ended up eating breakfast here for the rest of our stay.  Wish we had discovered it on day one!  (although the hotel basket to our room was awesome too) Basically everyone working at the restaurant was somehow related to the original owner, current owners, or friends of the family.  I got the belgian waffle everyday, it was so good.  Best part? Their service was crazy quick!  Like after ordering we had our food in 5 minutes.  We thought it was a fluke the first day....nope they are that good everyday!

Oinks!  We found this place the first day I think.  Within walking distance from the hotel....although really what wasn't within walking distance?  I had found this ice cream place online, and knew we needed to check it out!  Once there we found it packed.  We weren't sure we really wanted to stand in line, but hey it was late and I wanted ice cream!  They literally had you take a number and then step off to the side and wait until you were called.  Worked out because it gave you time to check out the massive menu, and actually went fairly quick.  I got peach ice cream in a waffle cone, and I think Cody's was just chocolate waffle cone.  Both were very good!  Wish we had gone back again to try more flavors. 

Up next...I'll work on a post that doesn't involve food and drinks...maybe. ;)
