THE EASY WAY TO FEED YOUR CREW
For so many, one of the best parts of a lakeshore holiday is the absence of planning. To-do lists abandoned, sun, sand, and surf dictate the rhythm of the day. Which feels amazing… until somebody gets hangry. That’s when Whistle Stop comes in.
Monikered a grocery, Whistle Stop is actually a coffee house, scratch bakery, deli, curated bottle shop, and specialty market. Everything you need to quickly and deliciously address the need to feed without skipping a beat of your holiday groove. Whether you pre-order online or browse grab ‘n go, stop in for sunset supplies or your morning coffee fix, Whistle Stop’s thoughtful mix makes the food you gather around special. And super easy.
Local Tip: Plan on pie. Made with fruit from the local harvest, competition for pie can be a thing at Whistle Stop. Visit early to claim yours.

The self-proclaimed “hamburger that made New Buffalo, Michigan famous” is now in its fourth decade of existence. There’s nothing overly complicated about these juicy, beefy delights but the large crowds should hint at the fact that they’re far from ordinary. Go big and try the legendary triple cheeseburger; it’s cooked in a skillet, oozes Velveeta, and comes dressed with “everything” (ketchup, mustard, dill pickles, raw onions) on a sesame seed bun. In keeping with the times, the restaurant is currently in the midst of renovating the kitchen and adding a new large galley area.

It’s one of the most popular places in town so anticipate a wait at this canine-themed grill. The rooftop deck gets all the action during the summertime and guests have a selection of craft beers and standard bar fare to choose from. They’re not reinventing the wheel but the solidly-executed burgers, tacos, pizzas, and hot dogs sure hit the spot after some rest and relaxation on the beach.

GO FOR THE BEER, STAY FOR THE BARBECUE
Ground zero of the southwest Michigan brewery scene, Greenbush built its reputation on robust beers with high ABVs and bold flavors. Although they’ve recently opened a couple of tap lines for us lightweights, the MO of the menu remains to go big, or eat at home.
Southern-style barbecue headlines the offering here and if you doubt a brewpub’s commitment to food as more than an accessory to beer, prepare to be convinced. Generous platters of brisket, pulled pork, smoked chicken, or Texas hot links – you choose the combo – anchor traditional sides like cornbread, beans, slaw, and potato salad. Arrive with an appetite because the mix of sweet, smoke, and spice makes it really hard to put the fork down.
You’ll also find sandwiches, pizzas, cheesy, bacony apps, and – if you’re gonna be that way – salads among Greenbush’s line-up. And for dessert? We suggest a nap.
Local Tip: At certain times of year, parking in Sawyer can feel a little bananas — the product of a tiny one-block town boasting some very popular businesses. But no worries, there are plenty of spots if you know where to look. The lot behind Sawyer Market is easy to access and steps away.

Nothing’s better on a hot day than a frozen treat. And no place in town does it as well as this classic ice cream parlor. At Oink’s, folks will find cones, shakes, and sundaes that feature dozens of Michigan’s finest flavors. The shop itself has been in operation for 30+ years and is lined with pig-themed and nostalgic décor. Those who want a brain freeze can order the “Hungry Hog,” a 10-scoop sundae served with all the fixins in a popcorn bucket.

In a world replete with aspirational, Instagram-worthy dining vibes, experiences that truly live up to the promise are rare, right? Perhaps particularly in small lakefront towns where demographics change with the seasons, there can be little incentive to abandon what’s known to work for most and follow a vision.
Well, Susan’s has a vision. One of casual meals with an unapologetic fondness for fine dining. Beachy, mid-century style centered in an old architectural gem of a building. And a minimalist’s passion for detail—be it on the plate, in the glass, or throughout the space. In the teeny town of Sawyer, Susan’s is doing Susan’s, and we’re really glad she is.
As suited for date night as impromptu ‘we need to get fed!’ missions, Susan’s has an intimate, low-key feel that also clearly conveys you’ve landed somewhere special. Whether you’re in for a sandwich or a four-course graze, Susan’s is a near-perfect intersection of beach town and uptown, where the pace is never rushed, the atmosphere always welcoming, and good taste prevails.
The surprisingly mellow force behind it all is owner Cecilia Peterson. After years of owning the building and working in corporate law, Cecilia decided to return to her roots in hospitality and create a dining experience she hoped would fill a niche along the lakeshore. We say vision accomplished.
Local Tip: Susan’s bar, dining room, and outdoor patio comfortably accommodate groups of one to a bunch. But it’s walk-in only, so plan to have a drink if you visit at prime time.

Cozy, woodsy, and filled with memorabilia evocative of its rest stop heritage, Red Arrow Roadhouse is the place we brake for a warm welcome and stick-to-your-ribs meal. Leave your diet at the door because the kitchen excels at cheat-day fare. Legendary ribs and crispy broasted chicken front a menu proud to indulge comfort food cravings. Feeding a friendly mix of locals and visitors for more than 30 years, Red Arrow’s homespun hospitality is the stuff of weary travelers’ dreams.
Local Tip: We’re not using ‘legendary’ loosely here – the ribs are really great! On Monday nights September to May, you’ll find nearly everyone in the house enjoying them when racks are kindly offered at a discount. Roadhouse gumbo is a must-try for Cajun fans. And consider a YOLO-yes! to mud pie. It’s worth it.

Rich with local color and beach town vibes, David’s Delicatessen is a neighborhood hub for breakfast and lunch. Don’t be fooled by the chill atmosphere, though. The team here is serious about sandwiches, crafting surprising and delicious combinations from premium and locally grown ingredients. Vegetarians get a lot of respect, and the Reubens – all three kinds – are especially awesome. With an equally legit coffee game and a blueberry muffin we can’t get enough of, David’s is a perfect stop before a morning beach session.
Local Tip: For a completely uncommon drinks experience, check out David’s after-hours-bar pop-up The False Front. If curiosity doesn’t get you there, the inventive cocktails should.

BAKERY, RUSTIC SANDWICHES, AND A WHOLE LOT MORE
Standing in Colleen Froehlich’s charming, light-filled bakery, it’s impossible to imagine what her brother saw 28 years ago when he lovingly suggested she ‘burn it to the ground!’ Perhaps good advice at the time, but we’re so grateful she didn’t.
Almost three decades later, Froehlich’s talent and relentless hard work are still evident in this beautiful storefront. A place for coffee, sweet treats, and savory rustic sandwiches, it remains an inviting gathering spot for locals and visitors alike. And while we love it for a hang, it’s absolutely worth the trip just for a loaf of fresh-baked bread. Or bagels. Or crispy rosemary flatbread. (Colleen is really good at bread!)
In 2019, Froehlich’s vision for an expanded culinary campus opened across the street in another stately old building ready for some love. Here you’ll find a full-service restaurant and bar, deli, bottle shop, and retail boutique featuring Froehlich’s signature sauces and preserves. And after years of offsite catering, she now hosts groups of all sizes in two unique event spaces, 19 North and Three Oaks Social Club.
Local Tip: Stocking the cottage for the week or weekend? Froehlich’s online order program is a fantastic resource. From soups, salads, snacks, and spreads to full meal kits – and all the bakery – orders are ready for pickup from 1 pm Thursday through Monday.

FRESH FISH AND GOURMET MARKET
First and foremost, Flagship is a top-notch seafood market with an impressive selection of fresh, ethically-sourced, and (only when it serves quality) properly frozen fish. Second, it’s a destination for tasty ready-to-eat meals for lunch and dinner. Think flavor-rich entrees, rustic sandwiches, and savory sides. And third, it’s a little gourmet shop with fine cheeses, caviar, spreads, baguette, blini, and sweet treats. Add fresh oysters and you’re set for cocktail time. Hard to believe all this culinary goodness can come from a humble roadside kitchen? Meet the captain, Rachel Collins. Knowledgeable, fun, and always ready with a sample, Rachel’s unbridled enthusiasm for great food and quality ingredients is the north star of many delicious meals.
Local Tip: Everything here is so good that we have to call out the potentially overlooked turkey sandwich. With sage-roasted whole turkey breast, cranberry mayo, crisp lettuce, and the freshest bread, it’s probably the simplest item on the menu and day-after-Thanksgiving delish.

FAMILIAR TREATS FROM LONG AGO
This is the bakery of your childhood, or your parent’s childhood, or maybe even your grandparent’s childhood. One filled with yeasty bread, coffee cakes, danish, donuts, and cookies like little time machines, made from recipes that have endured for generations. Amid those familiar smells, shapes, and tastes, it’s easy to slip for a moment into the past and smile. Because who was ever unhappy eating donuts?
Opened in 1912, Harbert Swedish Bakery has operated under mother/daughter proprietors Luisa Mills and Vivian May since 2001. Arguably the most beloved hosts in the community, they continue to use the original Swedish recipes and techniques of the founders. While bakery is the main event here, coffee and espresso get equal care. Stop in for a quick treat at the counter, or a bodacious spread to delight your crew.

The service is friendly but appropriately so. The atmosphere is upscale but relaxed, flexible, and not stuffy. Timothy's is suitable for a formal event, for a causal evening, or for anything in between.

A wonderful meal as always. It is a Lebanese restaurant so many meals are lamb, but they do have beef and some vegetarian dishes. The owner is a wonderful man and the staff are very nice. I highly recommend a visit.

Wow what a meal! I mean the food I had in Key West didn't scratch the food I had at Skips! I had the "Black and Blue" pasta dish and even the steak bits in the pasta were fantastic, flavorful and deliciously melt-in-your-mouth with an absolutely delightful bit of char! And the bread! I had the garlic parmesan bread appetizers and literally stared around wide-eyed after my first bite! I couldn't believe how good it was! The soup that came with the pasta dish was a loaded baked potato soup and it did not disappoint either! Every. Single. Thing that I ate had strong, distinct, delicious flavors. In the pasta each flavor was very good separately and I could have eaten a dish just with that but together they complemented so well it was just so good. So very well worth it. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, it was a quiet and peaceful environment, relaxing with the fire at my back. It was just a great evening! I cannot reccomend this place enough and my only regret is not taking photos.
