    The people are so sweet- while the building is in an odd location, the story behind the opening is so sweet! The food was tasty and the decor is super cute!

    Nice place and friendly staff. Some interesting sandwiches and salads. The poochione is very tasty.

    As much as I love the food at Happy Poochie, I do have a problem with the fact that my order is almost always wrong. I am not going to keep tipping on carry outs when they do not even pay attention to what they are giving you. If you have pop in your order, they often will just not hand out the pop and you have to ask. You know people order these things, so why not check the receipt before you hand it out? How else do you think people are getting pop when they refuse to give orders out inside and tell you to go to the window, even in the winter. I often order the same salad and today they just did not add the red peppers to it, why? The last time they put onion on a salad that said no onion. I hate red onion. It is always something. I did not pick up the order myself today so I could not check it. Look at the order both before and after you make it. My orders are always for 1-2 people, nothing big. Your job is to give out the correct orders, period.

    The happy poochie made my poochie happy. They say they have soups but when asked about soups they said no soups ! little bummer but understandable ! Would be a pretty sweet if they could bundle chips drink and sammy all together. All around a lovely little spot with a cute backstory. Also thank you to the kind lady working the till !

    Run, don't walk to the new Happy Poochie Eatery in Benton Harbor! I had a feeling I'd like it, but it exceeded all expectations for a healthy, hearty lunch. Sandwiches, salads, and soup with generous amounts of fresh, tasty ingredients. I'd love to see a "you pick two" type combo in the future, but my mom and I were able to split a salad and sandwich so I got to experience both anyway. Curbside service was so friendly, my husband said "I think I made a buddy!" Featured: Benton Market Salad, Hot Poochie, Cool Hand Cuke, Tomato Bisque

    Love love the Hot Guac. I'm not big on things that are too spicy but I could handle this amazing sandwich! The bacon was crispy!!

The typical parking lot was fenced off so we had to utilize the street parking nearby. We were told to choose a seat and they'd be right with us. They only opened at 11am, at by the time we got there around 12:30 it was starting to fill up a bit already. 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.

The menu has so many interesting and tasty options that it makes it hard to choose what to order first. I got the steak bowl, which comes with an egg and plenty of sautéed peppers, onions and potatoes. Highly recommend. Even the drink options are exciting. Locally made cherry limeade?! Yes please! The ambiance is warm and welcoming, the staff is friendly. Even though you are in the middle of an open-concept business collective, the layout of the restaurant space makes you feel like you are in someone's giant, awesome home kitchen and you can watch as your meal is made. It took me a moment to put my finger on it, but this place gives you the reassurance that your meal is being made by people who enjoy good food. As someone who loves to cook and is on the tail end of a road trip, this was the most relaxed and enjoyable meal I've had in a while. I enjoyed it on so many levels. The restaurant is tucked away inside of a bigger collective of stores, one of which is Dad's Farm, a little grocery with a nice collection of packaged and frozen locally sourced foods. There are other shops in the collective including a coffee shop, brewery, cheese shop, wine shop, and gift shop with great art, cards, jewelry and other clever gifts. It's a nice group of shops where you can pick up some great souvenirs. A quick note about the entrance to the collective: it was not obvious to me, though I might have missed some signage. I was looking at the map on my phone, was on Pleasant St, and passed by the whole thing several times. I almost gave up trying to find it, but I could smell good food, so I finally took a chance on a tinted door near a coffee shop and was happily surprised to find I was in the right spot for Dad's Cafe as well. Give Dad's Farm and Cafe a try, I think you'll really enjoy it!

    The food here is ok but apparently they want to lose a customer over refusing to refund an item…read morethat was not given, like I don't spend enough in their expensive store on a regular basis anyway. Or, I did. This person must really need 50 cents badly to actually ignore a customer and to refuse a refund. Your business will not last if you do not have the management skills to back up cooking skills. And this is a small area. When a customer asks you why you charged them something, they are not just asking. It is theft. I expect an answer when I ask that question. My receipt clearly shows a custom charge of 50 cents, for a side of sauce that I did not receive. It was actually supposed to be a dollar because I ordered 2 sides. I sent a message and was told that I was not charged, end of reply. I replied that I was. Instead of sending a refund, they sent me a copy of the current receipt that clearly shows a 50 cent custom charge on it. I am not the blind one here. I messaged again asking what the charge was for, if not for the sauce. No reply. I am also tired of tipping on takeout just to have no one check the orders and for it to go out wrong, no more. What is the tip for? It was 2 items, juice, and some sauce, not hard to get right. Tip in cash only if your order is correct. A normal response would also be to apologize for getting the order wrong to begin with. I have not received another response or a refund so I take it that they feel entitled to take money for items not given. It is not about the amount of money, just the audacity and bad business practices. Shameful behavior. There is nothing special about the menu here so something better will eventually take its place.
