    Here's a double with Garbage!
    Garrett G.

    Dive bar with my #2 all-time favorite burger! (See my review of Al's Drive In for my #1!) Huge burgers, Cooked just right, juicy without being overdone. You can order it anyway you like -- I get mine with "Garbage", so yummy. Beers on tap include Old Style, I would suggest ordering a mini pitcher if you are there with a friend. Be forewarned they only take cash -- all the great burger places seem to operate this way! Fries are great and they have many different options. I like the wedges. My friends and I recently ate here. -- 3 burgers, fries, two mini-pitchers of beer, total was $40 including a 20% tip! Cannot beat the value. Right off Exit 4 on I-196 in "downtown" Riverside. A hidden gem!

    Good food. Good atmosphere. Great service. Ice cold beer in a extra frozen mug!!!! High recommend even if you are just passing by to stop rest and recoup.

    Sorry for the color, we were by a neon sign!

    Great place to grab a bite to eat! Beware, their burgers are HUGE! I got a double and should have gotten just a single! We also tested out their fried pickles, they were really good!! Definitely a chill place to check out. The burgers were really good, and we will be back!

    We were driving thru Benton Harbor and saw this cute winery online so we decided to stop in since…read moreit was a rainy afternoon. We were greeted by Jessica who was super nice. We did a flight of reds along with a Caramel Apple cider. We also ordered their whitefish dip (GF). She was so nice she bought my wife crackers and veggies since she's GF and a basket of regular crackers for me. The wines were very good as was the cider. We loved Third Times a Charm which was a red blend. We bought a bottle even tho it was pricey..39.00. They have indoor and outdoor seating as well as live entertainment and food specials on certain nights of the week. Check their website for more details. Whether your a wine enthusiast or just looking for a fun time, Vineyard 2121 is definitely worth a visit...voted Best Local Winery year after year.

    A new to us winery in the Coloma/Patton Harbor area…read more The space itself is gorgeous. It's overlooking hills and vineyards, it has a massive patio. There's also plenty of indoor seating if the weather takes a turn. The wine was good. It did not stand out above other places places I've been to in the area, but I would definitely drink it again. My biggest complaint would've been that they had music playing on the speakers that was so loud we could hardly hear ourselves, even though we were sitting the furthest away from it. They were having a band coming in later, which is a great idea. But if it's not live music, why on earth would you have the music so loud. I hope that it is quieter next time we visit (which we will do again). Not really the atmosphere to sample wind in. I also wish the staff was a little more helpful at wines. No wineries is good at everything, so I like to ask what they do best or what they recommend. The person pouring just responded that everything was great, which isn't super helpful. Nonetheless we really did enjoy our visit. I would definitely go again, and if you are visiting wineries in the area, you should definitely stop by..

    I'm in the process of moving (not even out of the city) and my best friend decided to help me out…read moreso we needed food.  We ordered Grand Crossing burgers to eat while we packed because they sell Roxy burgers which are the best around.  If you never got the chance to eat at Roxys when they were open (or if you did and miss them oh so very much) I'd heard this was the place to gobble one up. My husband got the triple cheeseburger, no pickle, no onion, add bacon.  My bestie and I both got double burgers (hers without pickles).  I was disappointed they didn't ask how we liked rhem cooked they they lost likely would have had we sat in the restaurant.  The burgers all came somewhere around medium well which was fine for me and my best friend but my husband is more of a well done guy.  For 2 double cheeseburgers and a triple cheeseburger add bacon it was $23 which is not bad at all considering each patty is a third of a pound.  My husband, who picked up the food, said it was super heavy (lol). The burgers are delicious, not exactly how I remember the Roxy burgers but pretty darn close.  It oddly reminded me of meatloaf.  My husband eats burgers a lot and we have tried most (if not all) burger places in the area to find our favorites.  Grand Crossing is definitely top 3 for me.  I have yet to expierence the staff or restaurant itself but the food is on point.  I will continue to come here for a delicious burger that takes me down memory lane.  Next time I'll have to sit down.

    The food here is amazing. Definitely qualifies as a dive bar, but worth the visit. Don't come if…read moreyou're expecting an upscale experience.

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.
