“If you haven’t tried this burger joint you’re missing out!!! 🔥 stumbled upon it today and the only thing I can say is WOW 🤯 cinco de Mikey was hands down the best burger I’ve ever had in my life! Whatever they’re doing in that kitchen keep doing it 💪🔥“

“We do takeout regularly from Turks and it’s always perfect. Tonight (NYE 2025) we had company and ordered takeout for all of us. There was a mixup and my bf brought home the wrong bag of food. Turks recooked our order, told us to keep the wrong order as well, and even gave us a gift card for the inconvenience and delay. Very impressed! You guys are amazing.“

“I enjoyed lunch yesterday at Village Baker. I went with the half sand and cup of soup combo. I had mushroom barley soup with my grilled tuna sand. Both were heavenly. A side of fries and a pickle was included. You get to choose your side. Pro tip: I was by myself and so I did not have to wait 'cause I ate at the bar. When the bill came the bartender gave me $ 5 off as a first timer! So I gave her back the $5 as her well-deserved tip. I also bought a loaf of very fresh sourdough bread and two breakfast cookies. This is my new "happy place" and I am looking forward to returning soon for another great experience.“

“My server was excellent and the food was amazing. I had a Cuban sandwich with a Long Beach Ice Tea. The atmosphere is hip with some nice decor.“

“Mr. B's Pancake House is great! Great customer service, food is greatly portioned, and tastes great! I choose this rating because if I needed a place that I can trust that will get the job done and the food right, that's where I'll go.“

“What a hidden gem! We had lunch at the Muskegon Culinary Institute Restaurant today, and I was incredibly impressed. The prices were very reasonable, the service was excellent, and the food was outstanding.

I had the turkey sandwich with Swiss, lettuce, tomato, mayo, and red onion marmalade on fresh ciabatta bread. Every ingredient was fresh, and the red onion marmalade gave it a delicious twist. My friend ordered the pan-seared salmon (pictured), and after one bite, it was obvious why she couldn’t stop talking about how good it was. It was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented.

One of the coolest parts of the experience was being able to watch the culinary students through the large windows as they prepared the meals and honed their skills. It’s fun to see the next generation of chefs learning in a real restaurant setting.

The menu isn’t huge, but that’s actually a strength. It feels like they’ve focused on doing a handful of dishes exceptionally well. We’ll definitely be back to try more!

Highly recommend supporting these talented students while enjoying a fantastic meal. Five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Absolutely the most humbling experience we have had playing golf! Beautiful course, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Such a beautiful way to pay tribute to our fallen and support their families!

“Awesome coffee shop! Will be back!“

“Had an awesome time Saturday, 3-1-25. Haven't been back to Herbie's in almost 20 years. Had a waitress that actually remembered my mother my father from when we used to meet there with our youngest daughter. Waitress and I apologize I forgot your name, you were outstanding, caring, and bubbly. She's been a waitress there for 25 years. A lot of the wait staff and staff had tie dye shirts with a logo on the back. Those were cute. Had the steak and eggs, American fries, Texas toast, coffee. Everything was excellent. The wife had standard two eggs bacon and toast. They've had to recently upcharge $0.50 per egg, like a lot of restaurants are because of the new price increase with the bird flu. Still, excellent money for the value that we got. Plenty of portions. Will try to go back soon, hopefully not as long as 20 years. The decor is quaint with airplane memorabilia hanging from the ceilings the walls and posters. Don home folk down home food downhome good time down home great value.“

“today me and my fiance got toast and jams take out for breakfast. we wanted one of those stay in your pajamas eat breakfast in bed type of days. the only thing that could have made it better is if they did delivery but I was fine picking it up because then I got to order a drink when I was there. I didn't see any drinks to order on the website but I might have just missed that completely that could be my fault but I was happy I went inside cuz I could get it to go coffee. haven't been in to toast and jams in quite some time but I was very impressed. it was super cute inside. I definitely want to go back and eat inside it was so adorable in there and a little area that they have to order drinks at off to the side is super cute. when I walked into toast and jams there was nobody at the door to greet me which was fine and that kind of looked around and was trying to figure out where to go to pick up my order. so I was walking around a little lost and the nicest server came up to me to put me in the right direction I believe she said her name was Miko. younger girl real cute had a hat on short hair shortish darker skin very pretty. anyways the server was such a joy. she stopped the work that she was doing to come up to me and point me in the right direction asked me if I needed help or needed to be set. told her I was picking up a to go order she pointed me in the right direction said she had to go check on a table but she would be back in a minute to make sure that I had everything I needed. I don't really think that was her job to be working the door I think she works the tables but I appreciate her taking her time out of her day to approach me and she was so polite and friendly I'll definitely come back in to eat and ask to sit in her section. food was amazing kitchen did a wonderful job I eat at a lot of breakfast places and this was really top notch good job kitchen. all around good experience I'll be back“

“We where traveling though and happened in here on opening night. Couldn't tell. Had the smoked old fashioned..perfect. wife order the Brussels pizza and I had the Margarita pizza. Both outstanding. Dessert i had the brownie and she had the blueberry crisp....wow. so good I wish we lived closer cause I want to come back and I am still in the booth.“

“Fun experience, great service very helpful with the options. Food quality was on point, definitely will be on the rotation from here on out.“

“The Bistro has great food. But we sat at a table with chairs. It was like sitting on a board. Maybe they should sit down and experience that.“

“I love this course‼️. All the employees are super friendly, the course is well maintained and is challenging. My favorite public course on the lakeshore.“

“We are from out of town and this was a great lunch spot. The service was great! You just need to make sure to save room for dessert 😂 We hope to return before we head back to Virginia!“

“The very best onion rings I’ve ever had! I just tried the Cabbage Roll soup at the Homeless Prevention Partners event, Soup For All and it was grand!!“

“Unique and one of a kind place to check out. Best part family owned restaurant working on fifth generation as time goes on. One of the original, well known, and frequently visited places that has served Muskegon well for longer than most can remember and will always be a favorite for many.“

“Stopped into Lucy's Backyard for the first time today. Wow! We will definitely be back! Excellent food, great music, and, a fun Key West vibe. Give it a try if you haven't already. Sorry that we hadn't discovered it before now!!!“

“It was amazing driving from Detroit to taste the delicious entres served by the chefs at Soul Filled Restaurant. The food was superb, the customer service was excellent. I would recommend this place to everyone that loves good soul food cooking. This restaurant deserves a 10 out of 10.“

“Typically pretty hesitant to take four of our small children to a restaurant especially a nicer restaurant. They were extremely accommodating and very kind. They did not make us feel out of place or like we shouldn’t be there at all. Our server was amazing and beyond patient. The food was really good.“

“We enjoyed the great tasting food and fun atmosphere in the restaurant. We’re impressed that Kirby still gives a generous discount on birthday meals. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive and able to keep up with her customers needs. We will return for the next birthday dinner soon!“

“My husband and I have lived in North Muskegon on Bear Lake all our lives and BLT was a staple for our families. However, had not been back for many years after bad experiences with new ownership. Now that’s it changed hands again we decided to try it. Service was phenomenal, food was great!! Planning on going back next week!!!“

“Highway Inn is always fun! Great food“

“From central Illinois (nowhere near Chicago) spent a long weekend north of Muskegon, and enjoy checking out breweries. Unruly is in my top three of all I've visited. Was there Apr 26, and had a great conversation with the bartender, loved the vibe, artwork, and especially the brew. The scotch ale was near the top of any I've had......the stout was coffee forward with a chocolately finish (but not heavy)........and the sample of the barrel aged porter was incredible. If your distribution was this far south, I'd be buying often. You guys do it right.“

“My reuben sandwich was so good with awesome potatoe chips on the side. Friendly server with a smile on her face. Clean restaurant that had a very hip atmosphere.“

“Our server Devon took great care of us. :) She was so helpful, and definitely sold us on dessert! Dinner was yummy too, so that was a plus!“

“We love Stanz Cafe! Best mimosas in town!“

“Great spot. Obviously when you’re traveling in this area you hope to eat somewhere local and more “legit”, but everything was closed in this area for dining by 9pm (insane for a holiday weekend). I’m so grateful this place was open late. The deal of 2 entrees and an app for $25 is a STEAL in this economy. We got the ribs and loaded mashed potatoes, fiesta lime chicken and spinach artichoke dip. Everything was delicious. I could totally see myself making the lime chicken at home for some tacos or enchiladas. So flavorful. They had the Michigan and western game on as well but it wasn’t overly loud or anything. Our server was nice and attentive.“

“Absolutely iconic Muskegon restaurant. I was raised on the cheddar chili dog special at the downtown location in the 80’s and have never stopped loving it !“

“We were first-time customers and loved our experience today! Our server was excellent, and food was delicious! I ordered the PB&J Burger and loved it! Fries were an up-charge but worth every penny in my opinion! The ranch dipping sauce was excellent as well! We will be back!“

“Always a great time , bartenders are amazing , food is great !! No complaints here“

“Peanut butter was outstanding! Service very good ! I would definitely return.“

“I just had Bella Maria cater by husband’s 40th birthday. They were easy to work with and punctual. The food was amazing and the party was a complete hit. Highly recommend.“

“It was my first time there. The food was reasonably priced. The club sandwich was delicious. The staff was friendly. Karaoke was fun. But I think after they spilled my cocktail on me and didn't mop the floor I should have at least had the drink removed from my bill.“

“Absolutely iconic Muskegon restaurant. I was raised on the cheddar chili dog special at the downtown location in the 80’s and have never stopped loving it !“

“Danyel was amazing! Really made our Valentine’s Dinner special and one we won’t forget! Prompt, professional, hilarious, and down right genuine. Thank you Danyel for an amazing experience!“

“Was very loud in there too loud for us they sat us in the bar late night. Prefer a much quieter scene but this was what was open. Food took forever to come out. It was decent once it arrived. Waitress was kind of slow refilling drinks and checking on us. Apps should have came out a lot quicker and also the entire meal. We had the ribs they were ok. The rest was apps for the most part and a steak. But if you want steak this is not the place to get it unless you like well done cook. Recommend somewhere else unless this is your only choice.“

“The service was great I wouldnt ask for more me and my fiancee was eating there and I seen something on my fiancee plate like the plate was dirty so I called my waiter (Nick) over and I told him I was like it looks like my fiancee plate is dirty is it possible for me to get a new one . He said sure I will transfer your food to a different plate . He ask if that was better and I said yes and thank you so much for doing that .
So I have to say 10 out of 10 for Nick for doing that for us . I hope this caught one of the managers attention because he deserves something for what he did . Overall service was great ! 🫠“

“Ordered take out for lunch, the only complaints I have or suggestions is my quesadilla was not cut and also very soft on one side but otherwise everything tasted great. We also had chicken strips, fries, hot cheese balls, and fried pickles. Will be returning for lunch soon :)“

“Me and my girlfriend love the food here. The family owned quality can definitely be seen and tasted in the food. Food came out hot and delicious as always. I’m mainly writing this review because our server, Mons, was so delightful and fun. She made is smile the whole dining experience.“

“Amazing cheese burgers & fries , awesome shakes & onion pedals . customer service is great. cooks do a great job .. will always come back great drive . 9.5 out 10“
