Babe’s Riverfront Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Benton Harbor

We came here early just after opening. The bartender was our server for food. Few regulars at the bar, nobody else at food tables. Bartender gives us only one menu. Sets two cocktail napkins on the table and asks us if we want drinks. We order drinks. As my mom passes the only menu over to me while she dropped it on the table it blew my napkin onto the floor. Bartender comes back with drinks picks the napkin up off the floor and puts it on my table. Really? I ordered the chicken wings oh jumbo they claim because I saw some good reviews on them apparently all those reviews were from 4 years ago. Wings were small dry and tasteless. It says it comes with ranch or blue cheese. Wasn't offered either didn't get either when I asked about the blue cheese he said he could get me some I wasn't sure if they were going to charge me three bucks for the extra so I said don't worry about it. I dip them in ketchup to kill the taste and wash them down The person I was with got silverware maybe because she ordered a dinner for 1895 frozen perch and some lousy french fries I'm sure they were frozen and they were undercooked. Way too much salt. We asked about dessert they had none. Maybe bartender is a good bartender but lousy food server. He was nice he was friendly. Not sure why he had to give us our food bill written on a little piece of paper and not from the register. Didn't ask. But I can assume either the owner wants him to do a certain amount of cash maybe to pay labor. .. or the bartender was actually skimming from the till. Parking lot looked like shambles beer cans liquor bottles and even a package of rotten turkey ground meat rotting in the parking lot. Only thing nice about this place was the view thank God I sat next to a window and could look out the window the whole time. Biggest waste of $35 this year. So you won that prize. You nailed that. The root beer was fresh and cold. I even got a free refill lol. Again to wash down the tasteless small dried out wings with no blue cheese. I usually tip between 20 and 30%. He got the normal 15% as I stated he was nice but pretty clueless as far as serving food. Maybe drunk rich people don't mind overpaying for mediocre subpar bar food but I won't be returning ever. Should have turned around and went somewhere else the minute I spotted that rotten turkey burger meat unopened left in the parking lot to rot. Maybe it was to draw the rats away from the restaurant.... What a shame place under new management operates like this. This place will never be successful operating...

By far and away the most horrifyingly, ridiculously, astonishingly, terrible hellscape of a bar and grill I've ever been in. Full stop

It passed through parody into some horrifying reality that exists on the other side of sanity, more terrifying than actual insanity could ever be.

Someone actually thought this all through and decided they liked it. That this was their vision And that person deserves the hell they've built for themselves and named babes riverfront

Eardrum shatteringly loud karaoke, bad drinks, slow service, high prices, low quality

Food so bad we couldn't even eat it. No exaggeration, undercooked and inexplicably so salty yet so bland

Literally left the food and drinks and walked out

Just imagine how bad a place would have to be to walk in ravenously hungry because nothing else was open, and still just get up pay and leave.

I've had meals that gave me food poisoning that I enjoyed more than this

70 bucks for a burger, wings, fried "perch"...

Babe's bar and grill is an ideal place to go for drinks and a meal either by yourself, with your significant other or a group. In my case, a group of about 25 people from our class that attended a reunions on Friday night chose Babe's Bar and Grill (after I suggested it) for an informal gathering a former classmates. Everyone was impressed with the service and food quality. Waitresses were attentive and made sure that everyone had drinks when they wanted them and took everyone's food orders promptly. We were all amazed at the speed at which the food orders were processed. It's a testament to the owners of Babe's Bar and Grill that their staff is polite, knowledgeable and attentive to customer service! Those of us that live in the area will continue to use and recommend Babe's Bar and Grill as a go-to place for food...
