Casey's Bar & Grill
136 N. Whittaker Street New Buffalo, MI 49117

This place is in downtown New Buffalo, MI (right near the Indiana border). While it's not in Grand Rapids, it's a great place to stop for lunch on your way to or from Chicago. I had such a good experience I feel obligated to tell you about it. While still casual dining, it's a little more fancy than your average Bar (white table-cloths). There menu is very simple serving many traditional items you'd find in other bars. However, they make them exceptionally well. Lot's of flavor, great ingredients and many homemade sauces. Javier, in the kitchen, even makes his own hot sauce (get it with the wings, you can even buy a bottle to take home). Their prices are around $7-$8 for a lunch entree and worth every penny. If you're lucky enough to have Sam (girl with short red hair) wait on you, then feel free to strike up a conversation. Ask her how the painting went on her new apartment and let me know.

Food: 9 (I'd need to try more dishes to go any higher)
Atmosphere: 9
Service: 10 (Sam is the best - Congrats on my first Perfect 10 Service rating)
