    The Downtowner sandwich

    First time here - looking for a great sandwich for lunch at the lake! We had the. "Downtowner" and the "Cool Hand Cuke" - both were fresh, delicious, and a perfect blend of flavors. We would definitely go back again. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Very clean and had patio seating as well as indoor option.

    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!

    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

    Food was good. However, the deal breaker for me was the location. Seemed very sketchy and unsafe. So won't be returning.

    We recently stopped into Dad's Farm & Cafe for a quick lunch and it was perfect!…read more I ordered the Apple Bird sandwich and it is now in my top 3 Turkey sandwiches of all time! Great size for sharing, but you're not going to want to! So fresh, so tasty, and made with love from local ingredients. The cafe is located inside a "food hall" of sorts, surrounded by other local vendors serving cheese, produce, coffee, beer, smoothies, gifts, and more! Great atmosphere for cooling off from the summer sun and enjoying a unique lunch prepared by friendly, knowledgeable servers. If you're in the St. Joseph area, make sure to stop by and grab a snack! I highly recommend Dad's Farm & Cafe, and cannot wait to sink my teeth into that sandwich again soon!!

    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.

Wish i had taken pics of the inviting, casual atmosphere inside and outside. Noted a very friendly setup for kids, and many families enjoying the outdoor games. Our server, Lily, could not have been better. Friendly, helpful, efficient, kind. We thought it was just us (kidding) but she was the same at every table she served, even though she was super busy! Kudos to Lily! One of the best! We had the kitchen split an Asian Crunch Salad as a starter. Fresh and crunchy! Hubby got the Burnt Ends Melt on Detroit Sourdough toast with the house made chips. He loved it and said he'd order it again! I had the Olive Burger and had them put it on their toasted sweet potato jalapeño bun. A Michigan staple, we do not have olive burgers in our state. If you've had an olive burger before, and liked it (as I do whenever we go north) you haven't tried ANYTHING yet! THIS BURGER WAS AMAZING! The burger itself high quality beef and perfectly grilled medium as I requested. Fresh leaf lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, sliced olives, and their delicious homemade olive aioli. Mine with waffle fries which were so generous, I had to give 3/4 of them to my husband (who gladly obliged)! Try the pickle bloody mary, if you're so inclined. Yum! Def will return! If you go, ask for Lily and tell her we sent you! ; )

    The food was outstanding! Love the chicken and burger!…read moreHappy customer Amanda was so friendly and great!
