Stopped there Saturday night. Had decent service. Ordered a Brandy old fashioned press with an olive to start with. The waitress asked me if I wanted a cherry as well after she put the order in with the bar. That should have tipped me off. It came back with an olive all mashed up in the old fashioned, Not at all what I thought I ordered. Took a taste, it wasnt actually bad, so I just drank it. Had the sausage Cacciatore, it was decent, and plentiful. For amusement I looked up the drink to see if this was something my father just dreamt up and maybe no one else knew what it was. lol nope, its available on the web to Google if the bar person didnt know, maybe a quick search would have been the thing to try ;) The Perfect Old Fashioned Brand Old Fashioned Fill your tumbler glass chock full of ice Turn your bitters bottle upside down and give three good shakes over the ice Pour in about an eighth of a cup of simple syrup (sugar dissolved in water) Pour in your double shot of spirits (brandy is the classic, whisky or bourbon is also an option) Top if off with your favorite soda : Old Fashioned Sweet – use 7-up or Sprite Old Fashoined Sour – use sour mix or lemonade Old Fashioned Press – half 7-up, half soda water Old Fashioned Soda – carbonated water Finish it off with your garnish of fruit (orange slice and maraschino cherry), olives, pickled mushrooms – as you like it! How to order your Old Fashioned like a true Wisconsonite Just follow the three simple steps and be sure to let the bartender know: Which spirits Which topper Which garnish So the next time you visit the Supper Club, say to the bartender : “I’ll take a brandy old fashioned sweet, double olives, thanks”

Best Pizza in South Haven, and in my top three favorite on the Globe. The atmosphere is a little tatty, but we always enjoy the food and good service. Have been in there at least once a year for 15 years now. Its NOT American Pizza! I read the reviews below and respect your opinions. My wife and I both love the pizza because it is so similar to what our long dead Italian Grandmothers and Aunts prepared for parties. It is not dripping with molten cheese and covered with cheap toppings. The top notch fennel and red pepper sausage with the light treatment of cheese IS ITALIAN pizza. We love it and YES it is one of MY THREE Favorite Pizzas on this Planet. We enjoy the salad, I have gotten a Submarine which was great and had some pasta dishes too, and the home town girl servers are always pleasant and attentive, no complaints, the atmosphere is NOT olive garden, but should it be? Its a 4 month a year vacation destination.

In from chicago forthe weekend read some good reviews on here,decided tho check it out. When we were walking in a couple told us to rethink our decision tho go in. We entered at our own risk. The host rushed us to a table that was sticky and located right at the entrance when there were other tables available. Or server took 10 mins to bring us out pops and they werent cold. We decided to play out safe and just get pizza........ Nit the best choice. I so wanted to go outside jump into my delorean and go back in time and not go in.........we didnt finish the pizza and just got our bill and left.... I have always wondered where chef boyardee ended up at , well folks hes there. As i walked put i saw a couple sitting out with there dog allowing the dog to throw up in the grass, omg i envied that dog, i had to wait till i got back to the hotel to rid myself of that lingering alien growing inside me.......

I agree with Greg and the "OMG Stay Outta Here" poster. The cute exterior drew us in, but the appeal ended at the threshold. There was an odd smell and very cheap/cheesy decor. The dining room was not as clean as youd like. Service was VERY slow and inattentive. The free bread was the best part of the meal - it had some flavor and is probably the base for their pizza. The salad was iceburg lettuce with a few white onion pieces and 2 tomato wedges. The dressing was served in the plastic container, which was another warning. My kids had the cheese ravioli, which was OK. My husband had the sausage cacciatore which was bad - bland, sauce was not Italian at all. I had the lasagna which was overcooked, no meat to be seen, and also very bland. There are better places to eat in South Haven. Go somewhere else to eat!

Ordered chicken Marsala ala carte ( no pasta) which menu said was "a whole " chicken breast. Ordered grilled onions also . I was very disappointed. The dish was covered in pasta, had maybe 5-6 slivers of chicken and a tablespoon full of mushrooms. No onions. When I nicely complained to the waitress which did a good job, I heard the cook say "its on him ( meaning me) and not on you". It somehow was my fault it lacked chicken, onions and mushrooms. They took .50 cents off my bill for the onions but should have given me my meal free. I went back to my hotel room and had cold left overs. We wont be back. Too bad!

To give this place a star is only for getting my drink refilled. My girlfriends lasagna was inedible and made her very sick all night long. I ordered stuffed peppers there wasnt even any rice in them and they were rotten. The mystery meat had a greyish color to it that smelled terrible soi chose not to eat it. Even the couple in the booth behind us got their drink orderes and they had made them wrong and or badly. They complained and got up and left without paying like we should have done. This place is disgusting with cheap decor. Please do yourself a favor and steer clear of this cesspool of grossness.

Over-all its very average. But... The pizza is great! I would never go here on my own accord and have a sit down meal, but if you are a tourist looking for a family spot its good for the pizza. The only other things that can even compare are the spaghetti and meatballs which, lets be honest, who goes out to eat for that?... and the minestrone soup is good. So, its great if you want to order and pick up pizza other than that dont get your hopes up. South Haven unfortunately isnt known for its plethora of fine eateries, and this lives up to that reputation.

To give them a star is a joke. We ordered 2 pizzas - 1 large pepperoni and 1 everything(?) made by The Vineyard in South Haven. Yes, it is terrible. No flavor crust. Not even butter and garlic. And the service was awful. The person who took our phone order didnt even know what type of crusts (thin or hand tossed) they offered OR what was on their deluxe. This is not our first experience here. Shouldve known better but we wanted pizza that was local. Next time I will call Pizza Hut. Yuck.
