It Takes Tradition to be A Legend. Redamak’s, the popular seasonal restaurant in New Buffalo, traces its roots all the way back to the 1940’s with George and Gladys Redamak, the original owners. What started off as a one-room tavern with a squeaky screen door has gradually evolved into the institution it is today.
Since purchasing the business in 1975, Jimbo and Angie Maroney and the Maroney family, with the help of numerous dedicated employees, friends, and business partnerships have fortified the Redamak’s Tradition. Redamak’s will be celebrating its 50th Anniversary this summer on Tuesday, July15th, 2025, marking a half century of proudly serving “The Hamburger that made New Buffalo, Michigan Famous!!!” ™
In a release, the Maroney family looked back on how the tradition begot the legend:
Redamak’s has proven to be truly legendary. Rooted in a strong commitment to customer satisfaction and customer return that consistently prepares quality ingredients. Since 1975, Redamak’s has continued to freshly cut, grind, and patty all their burgers in-house with no fillers or preservatives.
Owner, Chuck Maroney, says “Our lifeblood is family. The emphasis at Redamak’s is on the food; we view alcohol as a convenience. Redamak’s is, simply stated, a food factory!” Many have shared important life milestones at the restaurant. “There have been and will continue to be many family firsts,” Chuck says. He goes on “expressing his gratitude on behalf of the Maroney family, staff, and to all the amazing people that have contributed to Redamak’s longevity. Thank You to Jim and Angie Maroney for their foresight, passion and true determination!”
Redamak’s will be hosting their 50th Anniversary Celebration on Tuesday, July 15th from Noon-11:00pm EST. The festivities will begin with a Flagpole and Plaque Dedication Ceremony prior to opening. While most of the day will be business as usual, after lunch, a quick change over of their Four Seasons room will make way for the night’s entertainment:
Beginning at 6:00pm the classic pop and rock band, Surf Inc. will start the evening off. Followed at 8:00pm by the popular Indiana-based Classic Rock band, The Whistle Pigs, playing until 11:00pm EST. Throughout the day Redamak’s will be serving a limited throwback menu, have a variety of merchandise giveaways, and a photo booth certain to capture some memorable moments. The Maroney Family invites anyone who has enjoyed the Redemak’s tradition over the years to, “Come On, Bite Into A Legend!!” ™
