The Enquirer’s Best of the Southwest contest to find
the best eateries in Southwest Michigan has yielded
contrasting results.
Two of the winners, Clara’s on the River and overall champion Addington Hills Cafe, represent the
well-known and almost unknown of Battle Creek
dining.
Clara’s is a high-profile restaurant situated on the
Battle Creek River in the heart of the city. It occupies
the former Michigan Central Railroad Train Depot,
built in 1888. All of that, owner Ross Simpson said,
contributed to the restaurant winning Best Ambiance.
“Train stations, and in particular
this one, were a very important part
of the city’s history,” Simpson said
Sunday.
Whether it was a source for journalists looking for stories from new
arrivals in the city a century ago or
a moment of respite for wounded
soldiers transferring to Percy Jones
Army Hospital (one of the stretchers
sits in the corner of the clock tower
dining room), the walls of Clara’s
have stories to tell.
Some of those stories are in the
walls themselves. Simpson said
much of the woodwork in the east
dining room – where women had to
wait for trains separated from men
– had paint scraped off by hand.

walls.
Stepping outside forces the past to give way to the
present of a summertime urban eating experience.
The patio gives diners a view of the river and
Battle Creek’s skyline. Live music and an outdoor
bar complete the experience. The atmosphere was
inspired by Simpson’s trip to the famous Tavern on the
Green in New York City.
“I added lights reminiscent of a European street
fair, with lights hanging over your head,” he said.
To Simpson, the inside and outside of the place
make for an atmosphere clearly deserving of the Best
Ambiance title.
“You can’t duplicate this building,” he said.
While a world away and about 20 blocks
from Clara’s, Addington Hills Cafe is no slouch
in the ambiance department. However, it
was likely the inviting atmosphere and unique
menu of fine food that won the restaurant Best
Hospitality and Best Overall.
“When you come in, you’ll see the staff
talking almost on a first-name basis with everyone in here,” manager and Executive Chef
Maurice Cordova said.
That friendly staff will serve up food that
sets it apart from most others in the area.
“I think a big portion of what makes us different than other restaurants is everything we
get in is fresh and homemade,” Cordova said.
“We’re not buying frozen product. We’re not
getting sauces out of a can or a jar.”
The steaks are a big part of the menu.
Cordova said the meat comes directly from
stockyards in Chicago. However, another item
also draws crowds, he said.
“We tried to enter the risotto field about a

For Nintendo fans, the
“Metroid” franchise is as
important as any “S uper
Mario Brothers” or
“Legend of Zelda” game.
In the new release
“Metroid: Other M,”
Team Ninja, known for
their work on the wellloved “Ninja Gaiden”
series, took a bold step
bringing our heroine
back to her two-dimensional roots in a threedimensional universe.
You play as S amus, a
well-armed bounty hunter who is dealing with
the emotional aftermath
of the story that ended
in “S uper Metroid” for
the Sup er Nintendo
Entertainment S ystem.
After a quick tutorial,
you start patrolling outer
space when a distress
signal calls you into a
ship infested with aliens,
former allies and a plethora of new adversaries.
“Metroid: Other M”

Directory of winners for Best of the Southwest
BEST CHEF
BEST BURGER
Sean Kelly
Arcadia Brewing Co., Battle Creek
Stagecoach Inn
Address: 201 W. M ichigan Ave.,
Ma rshall.
Owner: Sueann Schnaitman.
Special: The Buffalo Burger.
Favorite dish created: Some of the
fresh seafood items I have been doing for
specials lately, like the lobster-stuffed cod
loin.
Quote: “Thanks to all of the people who
have supported me over the years in Battle
Creek, it’s great that I have met so many of
my regulars and formed relationships with
them. I really enjoy being in Battle Creek
and being involved in the community, from
kids in the kitchen to teaching lifelong learning classes. And thanks to everyone
who voted for me this year and last, even though I have changed restaurants,
it’s great to get the following down the road.” – Sean K elly, chef
Quote: “I think we have the best burgers because we serve our meat non-frozen,
it comes fresh and I think it makes a big difference in the taste, along with the seasoning we put on them...The clientele is a mixed
number of people from all different walks
of life, all different towns walking in...We
have a returning clientele that always comes
back, for sure.” – Ryan Watson, cook
BEST MEXICAN FOOD
BEST ITALIAN FOOD
Nina’s Taqueria
Address: 248 Capital Ave. S.W., Battle
Creek.
Owner: Ma rtha Ma rtinez.
Special: Enchilada and wet burrito.
Quote: “We’re always super-busy. It’s
the atmosphere and the reasonable prices.
We’re pretty reasonable, compared to the
other restaurants in the area. We try to make
everybody welcome when they walk in the
door.” – Margarita Rodriguez, manager
Palermo’s Ristorante
Address: 3905 W. Dickman Road,
Springfield.
Owner: Andy Eskler.
Special: Shrimp palermo or lasagna.
Quote: “We’ve had the same Italian
recipes for the last twenty years. Love our
customers in Battle Creek and the surrounding area and appreciate their business in
these hard times. We do have quite a few
regulars, but we’ve always got new people
coming in Friday and Saturday nights. We
do appreciate that, and appreciate them
checking out our specials. We hope to continue serving Battle Creek.” – K athy
eK ating, employee
BEST CHINESE FOOD
BEST SEAFOOD
Tony’s Hong Kong
Address: 174 E. Columbia Ave., Battle
Creek.
Owner: Lisa Liu.
Special: Tony’s unique recipe for sesame chicken.
Quote: “For us, we treat our customers like
friends; at least, we try. We try to make everybody happy. If it’s someone’s first time coming in, then we treat them like a regular. I don’t
know how other Chinese restaurants run, but
that’s how we run. We try to treat our customers
like friends and family. We do have a lot of outof-town people come by and, just being a small
Chinese restaurant, they feel like, ‘Am I coming to the right place?’ After they eat, they
always say, ‘If you were in the big city, you’d be more successful.’” - Lisa Liu, owner
Captain Luey’s
Address: 181 E. Columbia Ave., Battle
Creek.
Owners: Ron and Diane Stinson, Gary
and Betty Faircloth.
Special: Fried shrimp or salt-and-pepper
catfish.
Quote: “Well, first of all we’re thrilled
about winning and honored that people have
responded to our product the way they have...
We view our commitment to the community as a
vital component to our business plan...we have
several people that have been there since we
opened eight years ago. They’ve stayed there, and it’s really because of their dedication to the restaurant and hard work, and – and really loyalty to the business that
we’ve been able to maintain the quality day in and day out.” – Ron Stinson, owner
BEST PIZZA
BEST DESSERTS/SWEETS
Sir Pizza
Address: Corner of Columbia and Vale
Avenues, Battle Creek.
Owners: John Scott and Sue M cBride.
Special: World Feast pizza.
Continental Bakery
Address: 928 W. Columbia Ave., Battle
Creek.
Owners: Janna Nunn.
Special: Known for cakes with custard.
Quote: “We believe we won because
we have been family owned and operated
for over 30 years with great pizza that has
more stuff and less crust, with toppings to
the edge and cut into squares. Our longtime
dedicated staff and loyal customers made
this possible. Thank you!” - John Scott and
Sue McBride, owners
Quote: “We have a big cake business
and we do breads, a full-fledged bakery, and I
think there is not too many left anymore... we’re
kind of a dying trade. And we still have kind
of a little, you know, a little bit of that old world
type flavor because the bakery originally was
owned by Germans – people that were from
the Black Forest area, so we kind of have a very
traditional Forest cake still. I worked for those people and they retired in ’92 and
then I took it over… part of that old type bakery still definitely around.” - Janna Nunn,
owner
BEST COCKTAILS
BEST BREWERY
The Griffin
Address: 38 W. M ichigan Ave., Battle
Creek.
Owner: Paul Conkey.
Special: Rock Star cocktail.
Quote: “The bartenders here, we make
them like how we would like to drink them.
And it’s just a comfortable atmosphere to
go ahead and enjoy your cocktail in ... you
can pour a Blue Moon or you can pour a
Bud Light anywhere, but you know, if you go
ahead and make somebody comfortable
and just help them enjoy their experience
here, then I think that’s what overall sells the
experience, and I believe that is why we were voted the best for cocktail.” – Julie
Clement, bartender
Arcadia Brewing Company
Address: 103 W. M ichigan Ave., Battle
Creek.
Owner: Tim Suprise.
Special: Cereal Killer Barleywine Ale.
BEST COFFEE HOUSE
BEST BUFFET
Brownstone Coffee House
Address: 18 ½ W. M ichigan Ave.,
Battle Creek.
Owners: Don and Donnie Fields.
Special: Caramel mocha.
Quote: “I love that they love it as much as
we love doing it – there’s a nice little symbiosis there. The product is pretty much flawless.
I mean, Dad studied for four years before
he opened the doors...On top of that, we’ve
got a great ambience, everyone behind the
counter is a complete, you know, smart-ass
who knows everybody and we just have the
best customers in the world. I’ve been in the
restaurant business for 25 years and never had a clientel like this. It almost feels
like a community project, you know what I mean?” – Donnie Fields, owner
Mijem at FireKeepers Casino
Address:11177 E. M ichigan Ave., Battle
Creek.
Owners: Nottawaseppi Huron Band of
Potawatomi.
Quote: “Part of the reason that makes
Mijem Buffet so special is we buy local ingredients by local farmers...We like to personalize the
buffet, so a lot of the items you’ll see small pans
out cause I don’t like having more than 10 portions out...we have a full staff that is completely
capable – so if somebody comes in wanting
to try something different, or wants to try something from the menu previous, we’ll make it out
for them anew...we try to focus on the guest as much as we can, and give them a personalized experience, even in a buffet setting.” – Nic Manning, head chef
Quote: “I believe we were trying to get
to do the right things in terms of the quality
of our product and the diversity of the styles
that we’re making and we’re really committed to constant improvement. We’re humbled by this kind of recognition, but it’s just
another reason for us to keep working harder. What we do tomorrow matters more than
what we did today.” – Tim Surprise, owner

that we have a variety of foods that are unusual
to this area, with the real pastrami. We use a lot
