  Great lobster ravioli! Nice atmosphere.. Not expected at a "bar and grill".

• All I can comment on is the Lobster Bisque

  Yelp!

  Based on that, and that alone, all I can say is "wow!"

  It is awesome, and if they can turn out something like that, there has to be magic elsewhere on the menu.

  Decor is nice, service was excellent.  Two quarts of the soup followed us out the door.  

  Looking forward to going again, and trying out the rest of the menu.

• Stop and smell the Chicago-style burgers...WHAT!?

  May 24, 2010

  Yelp!

  Yes, I admit it. I'm somewhat uptight when it comes to "getting back on the road" and getting to a destination (in this case, St. Joe's) on time. However, my driver was in need of sustenance...and convinced me that perhaps I was taking life a little too literally. Indeed, I was. Plus, let's face it...Quizno's & Co are nasty.

  So, we sat down for lunch at Jimmy's...and it was surprisingly....good. I had the "Chicago-style" burger (blasphemy if you ask me, but hey) and it was A-Ok. Sport peppers are a little weird on a burger, but it was a satisfying meal accompanied by some tasty fries. No complaints. There seems to be a lot of Chicago-inspired menu items, as aforementioned driver ordered the Italian Beef. It was gone, so I'll assume he was either 1. ravenous or 2 the sandwich was on par. Same fries, same empty plate.

  Plusses:
  .8 miles from 94.
  Not a fast food restaurant.
  Clean bathrooms.
  Alcohol.
  Above average fare.
  Cheeky decor, though I'm not sure if its totally intentional.

  Minuses:
  Pepsi products
  Group of men talking "golf."

  Roadtrip restaurant approved, I'm sure I'll be stopping again on my many voyages north.

  I had the most amazing lobster bisque and chicken with merlot sauce. My husband had a spinach and artichoke-stuffed filet... wrapped in bacon! (a man's paradise). The beers are very reasonably priced (especially compared to Chicago) and the blackberry brandy is a perfect cordial.

  Thank you TA, for the encouraging reviews because judging from the outside (attached to the dollar store), I probably wouldn't have even gone in. The food, however, was WELL worth it!

  Service was A+. Our waitress was attentive but respected our privacy. We had a lovely hour+ dinner which was excellent.

  One note: If you stay at the Holiday Inn, they offer a 10% discount when you show your room key which I didn't find this out till after we had already paid. The manager offered to reverse the charges and re-bill with 10% less, but at that point we let it go. The excellent food & service was well worth the price we paid!

• Hidden Gem

  From the road it looks kind of divy but inside it is very nice.

  Deep menu, full bar, happy servers. A hidden gem in New Buffalo. Much better than the overpriced and smokey casino down the road.
