They changed the breading on the fish, and I was very disappointed. I probably won't go back.

It was nice working here but whenever the salad bar got a tip the wait staff gets the tips which is messed up because they don't have anything to do with the salad

We have always had excellent food & service. Our favorite dinner is the perch dinner. They also have a full salad bar usually included with your dinner.
Wheelchair accessibility: If you're in a wheelchair you should be able to get in through the door and to a table fairly easy.

Excellent food, very friendly relaxed environment, salad bar is the bomb diggity.
'Gotta love Whitlows Forerunner Restaurant! Fantastic selection of expertly prepared food, consistently excellent service and a great family-friendly atmosphere as well as a full bar in the back if adults want to just hang out somewhere cool!
My personal favorite is the perch dinner. Whitlows Forerunner perch dinner has been repeatedly rated #1 for many years in the area because they do it right! The breading is just right, not to thick. Excellent quality perch and a righteous portion done to perfection!
There are dozens of other great dishes as well so Whitlows Forerunner is always on the top of my list to visit several times whenever I visit Norton Shores, MI.
If I could rate 10 stars I would. This place is that good! Make sure you check it out and enjoy the perch dinner or whatever sounds best to you off that big menu! Enjoy!
Parking: Plenty of parking.

We’ve heard about Whitlows a few times when asking where to get some good fish. We finally decided to give it a shot and boy they did not disappoint! We had walleye and perch and both were delicious. The service was always fantastic! Wendy was the nicest server we have had in quite a while. Definitely old school diner feel and we were just fine with that. We will be back frequently!!

Like many others have posted, it's very "old school", but in all the best ways. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. The decor and most of the menu looks straight out of the 1990s. They are often pretty busy as a result, and the quality of service can vary. The value you get would rank 5 stars, if that was a factor to rate, as well.

My husband and I love going to Whitlow's because they have good food at a reasonable price. The service is good as well.
Parking: The parking is good for the most part. When you go on a weekend, the parking lot is usually packed and difficult to find a space.
