New Buffalo Food Review



Now, we weren't up in the area for that long but we did manage to eat at several great places.

First on our tour was the Red Arrow Roadhouse. We had an awesome meal of Michigan-style enchiladas and fish tacos. Neither of them were authentic (as we guessed from the menu) but they were super tasty.

After pestering our waitress about frozen custard joints, we headed down to Oink's in New Buffalo. On the way, though, we ran into Ozzie's Frozen Custard and had to try that instead. It was stupendous and, I daresay, #2 in our list of favorite frozen custards now (behind Ted Drewe's). It was the perfect texture, not overly sweet, and sat nicely in my partially lactose intolerant belly. Now that's something great indeed.

The next day we hurried out of the Inn to head over to Redamak's but we found out they opened at noon on weekdays. After killing some time in Three Oaks, we headed back to find a line already forming outside. This place has it down, though, they seat you with menus, our waitress talked us through our choices and we got our burgers in minutes. The lunch special there is something like $4 for a burger and fries. We got some onion rings too for extra joy. I'm still not sure why "Hamburger" is in quotes on everything there. Seemed a little creepy but after eating it I forgot all about that. The burger is tasty, kids. No frills and no fluff at this place. :)
