50 Best American Restaurants in Muskegon

“This was my first time going to Hamburger Mikey. I went with my girlfriend, who has been here, and the gentleman who took my order made sure to explain what kinds of burgers they serve, the cost of toppings and the sides. The food was beyond great. Wasnt disappointed at all and definitely will be coming again“

“Rude waitress,told NO when asked for about a tablespoon of sauce for my burger and waited an hour for food then the waitress informed us that she forgot to put in order. Another rude waitress thought this was pretty funny and said oh well“

“TLDR: We’ve visited this place several times now and have always been satisfied by the pleasant service, good food, and comfortable atmosphere.

This visit, I ordered a PIGEON HILL BEACH PLEASE (sooo good and refreshing and I appreciated that they had it on tap).

We ordered the Pork BBQ Nachos (Hand pulled pork tossed in hickory house BBQ, covered in cheddar cheese and topped with lettuce, tomatoes, corn,red onion and black beans) and I am told that they were “gewd” ?.

I ordered the Fettuccine Vodka Alfredo (A blend of northern Italian marinara and Parmesan cream sauce. With Chicken Scallopini, Shrimp - what I got ?- or Blackened Atlantic Salmon) and it was delicious. The pasta was perfectly cooked, however, I felt like the shrimp were undercooked and I left a couple behind because the texture wasn’t good/edible. The bread that the pasta was served with, though?? I didn’t expect there to be garlic toast and it was probably the best I’ve ever had!

The parents ordered the Beer Battered Cheese Curds (they weren’t as hungry as we were) and I had one to try, and holy cow were they good! The best cheese curds/cheese sticks/cheese anything as an appetizer I’ve ever had. I’d highly recommend these!

We’ve been here before; we’ll be here again.

Make sure to cook the shrimp a bit more, kitchen! ?

Parking: Plenty of parking in the free lot.“

“This is a cooking school and boy do they know how to cook. Good luck finding them open, and Lord help you if you insist on sensible service, but the food is great and they will eventually get you things like: a refresh on your ice tea or catsup for your fries. Their focus is on the oh so tasty food so forgive them if they need a reminder on the other details.“

“Me , my mom and my brother went here after spending the day saying goodbye to a loved one at the hospital , the waitress came to take our order and immediately asked how our day was, two out of us still had hospital passes on, and she noticed, she was so nice, so friendly and gave our table special attention, I wish I would have spoke to the manager on duty to let him know . If she reads this, it was out of town in Muskegon, Michigan location.“

“Thank you for accommodating our large breakfast club gathering! Excellent food and service.“

“I really enjoy the atmosphere of this joint. The food is good and so is the service. I've never had a bad experience here.“

“great atmosphere, superb service and great food!! The fried mushrooms were the best I have ever had. I highly recommend this place“

“you will not go home hungry. So many great choice. Just great down home American food. Nothing fancy except the service which is outstanding. The food is pure comfort. It is my new favorite place“

“Haven't been in a while. Pretty sure you changed the meat in your dip sandwiches. You should go back to the original meat you used this isn't near as good as it was the first several years.“

“Good sandwiches and lunch food“

“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 coming to the Moon, it’s always a stop for us. Usually most of the bartenders are friendly and timely. However, Nita (I believe her name is) is NOT friendly and very slow. We were there today, I very politely asked for my drinks and not once did she smile or even look to be happy or pleased with being at work. My husband went up the next time to get a new drink and asked her to not put anymore ice in his cup and she didn’t care what he said, she still loaded the cup full of ice. Again, had the look on her face like she didn’t care how nice someone was to her, she wasn’t gonna be nice back. Additionally, when I went up for drinks, she looked at me, looked back at the computer, and made me and someone else wait without saying “I’ll be right with you” or anything of the sorts for about 2-3 minutes.“

“Odd location but probably the best sandwich I’ve had in my whole life � delicious! The people were nice & I think I was the only one who’s name they didn’t know. Would definitely go back!“

“Food was really good! Reasonable priced and was really busy!

Kid-friendliness: My daughter loved it as well!! They made an accommodation for her then we added her food later.

Wheelchair accessibility: Main level with handicap spots“

“Great food and clean. Visit again.“

“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.“

“Our server Lauren F was great. The food was delicious. I would definitely come back and recommend to others.“

“Great food, great staff! Love the fench onion soup!“

“this place never disappoints..always great food and service“

“the service and atmosphere were great. But we didn't care for the pizza crust which seemed like manufactured crust off of a machine. Otherwise, the toppings were good.“

“Honestly, my experience today made me a patron of this Big Boy for life. My husband and I took our 4-year-old to celebrate her last day of school. The service was attentive and the food was good. While we were there, more of my family wanted to come and join us and have desserts so we stalled for a bit. When my family arrived, my nephew went and played the claw machine...and the machine didn't drop the prize right and it got stuck. The manager and staff went above and beyond trying to help make this right for him. And not only that, the manager gave my daughter and niece a special prize also. I understand not all days will be like this and this won't be the same for other customers and the crane machine isn't even their problem, but I left the restaurant with 3 children who were made to feel extra special by the manager and that wins every time. The manager also chased me down outside the restaurant to give me my sunglasses I had left at the table. This manager went above and beyond for my family, and I guarantee she will give superior service to anyone else who enters this establishment. Her staff was great, but it's probably because she's an amazing also!“

“We went to celebrate a birthday and everything was fantastic. The perch and New York Strip dinners were both delicious! The food, atmosphere and service did not disappoint. We will definitely be back.“

“The waitress Fgt our appetizer and the order was wrong. I didn't complain since people behind us were already doing it. And my daughter ordered a turkey melt , and ended up with tuna instead.

Parking: Must drive around to the back road for access.

Kid-friendliness: Decent kids menu. And they provide colors and color page“

“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.“

“I paid for the bacon double cheeseburger. And I did not get any bacon in my burger☹️. It was also SUPER greasy. It coated my mouth and the bun was kind of soggy. Fries were good, pretzel bites were good, and my malt was as well. Was just disappointed by the burger. For how much they cost, I was hoping they'd have gotten it right.“

“I messaged L’Soul Filled catering a few months back for my daughters graduation party. She was prompt and helpful in getting something set up that was in my budget. The day of the party went great. It made it so I could focus on the decorations and mingling with the people coming and going. They set up and took down and helped serve the food and kept it so all the pollen stayed out of it. They went above and beyond and everyone enjoyed their delicious taco bar. I highly recommend. ?“

“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!!!“

“Absolutely, amazing service! ??❤️ The food is excellent! Beautiful view and relaxing ambience. We had fun!“

“The Handsome Hobo hits it out of the park with their atmosphere, menu and service. Drake was our server and he was very kind and helpful. The flavors in the food were spectacular and my tequila sunrise was perfection. Thank you Handsome Hobo start for a wonderful evening. I will be back for sure!“

“Love throwing and attending events in this building! Great staff, great drinks! great venue!!“

“Food was great, atmosphere great, service great!! Great place for our date night!! Crystal was so nice and accommodating!! Sweet and considerate!! We will be back!! Only downfall, weed smell, but that’s the new world.“

“I had not been to G&L in years because I'm not fond of chili dogs in general. But they have other things on the menu. I had the bacon cheddar burger and fries and it was much better than most fast food places. The cheese soup was very good also. Someone in the party had the special turkey club sandwich and said it also was very tasty. I definitely will be back again to try other things on the menu. Another plus here - you get waited on at your table instead of counter service.“

“Bartender was really personable and funny, lots of drinks to choose from, decent food, fun and chill atmosphere“

“Been here only 3 times for first sixth and thirteenth anniversary. Fantastic and memorable each time. Seasonal menu is yummy and fun vegetarian options too. Friendly staff“

“I’ve been to Rocket Pizza & Subs three times at this writing and I expect to order from them more often. The pizza is delicious and I can’t imagine anyone not enjoying it. I just moved to this area and the first night I moved in I was just calling around for someone who would deliver, and I had great service from them and a speedy delivery. The second order I picked the pizza up, as I did tonight. They make an excellent pizza and the garlic bread is fantastic! They also have a lot of items on their menu and I am looking forward to trying other menu items as well. Tonight when I called a gentleman answered and he seemed to be having a rough night, because he was quite rude and was having some difficulty understanding a straightforward order. But the pizza was wonderful and everyone has a bad day now and then.“

“great food and great people“

“Reliable, convenient, and fresh salad“

“Passed by a few times and decided to try this place out. Got the endless fish and chips and had 2 servings of the fish and about to have a third but I would sleep all day at work tomorrow and the boss would kill me lol.

Staff were wonderful, engaging and attentive. Food was tasty, filling and fresh. Almost done me grocery shopping while there when I saw the fresh loaves of bread and muffins on sale.

It really has a little of everything but everything I saw and tried was amazing.“

“Ordered the chicken fried rice. Was made fresh to order. Had really good flavor. Staff was friendly and order was correct. Wait time not long for how busy they were. Gave atmosphere 3 stars because it was sweltering in there. Almost took your breath away.“

“My compliments to the cook and the bartenders for great conversation and going the extra mile for myself and my crew!!“

“Awesome food friendly people“

“If you're looking for an upscale place, this isn't it - but it's a nice place to go for a casual bite to eat. As someone who live less than a mile away, it's one of the few places we can go with our kids and get a quick bite to eat without having to drive 15 minutes into town or to meet the neighbors on our snowmobiles in the winter for a drink. Nothing super spectacular about the food, but it's bar food and is good enough for us on a late evening when we don't want to cook :)“

“Good food ,good service, good place. Great wait staff with a smile I don't know if this was my last post or not but this time we kind of got forgot. It was busy night. The gal was friendly but our food wasn't ever brought out. We was there a little over an hour waiting for wood and she's stopped and said hey. I went back there and it wasn't ready. She didn't know why so I guess that's why I didn't give you five stars“

“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!“

“I had the wet burritos, sauce is housemade.. very good. Only complaints are not enough sauce and way too many refried beans compared to beef for me personally.
My boyfriend and I shared the pickle fries, super yummy! & their ranch is really good!
Their chips are also made in house and are delicious!“

“Great food and great service. We eat here every week. Support this local business. We need to help the local business' when we can.“

“Always a favorite stop and friendly service.“

“I went into Bob Evans this evening on Sternberg road in Muskegon Michigan and I had the most amazing dinner. the Southwest avocado omelette is delicious never had anything like it. pancakes or fresh and a point per usual there must be an amazing cook in the kitchen. my server was attentive and always had my drink refilled. I will definitely be coming back. the highlight of the evening was the hostess she was quite pleasant and had a great sense of humor. the hostess was definitely a hard worker she never quit moving. Bob Evans is grade A“

“The salsa was too spicy for me but the wings were excellent“
