“We are in Saugatuck on vacation and have eaten here three times because it simply is the best place we’ve found to eat in Saugatuck. Food is fresh, creative, and so tasty. The Mediterranean couscous salad and Brussel kale Caesar are beyond delicious. The Maui sandwich was superb. Today my hubby got the burger and said it was the best burger he has ever eaten. The wait staff were professional, friendly, and attentive each time we dined there. This is a must try in Saugatuck. In a sea of restaurants serving the same tired menus, Pumpernickels is unique and delicious.“

“Hops is easily one of my favorite places to eat in Holland! Every time I go, I feel like I’m in for a treat. The vibe is cozy and welcoming, which makes it a great spot for everything from a relaxed dinner to celebrating something special.

Their menu has something for everyone, and I’ve never been disappointed with what I’ve ordered. The flavors are always spot on, and it’s clear they put a lot of care into their dishes. Plus, their craft beer selection is awesome and pairs really well with the food.

What I really appreciate is the staff—they’re super friendly and always make sure you’re having a great time. If you haven’t been to Hops yet, you’re missing out. I can’t wait to go back and explore more of their menu!“

“Really chill atmosphere. Kind of small but what do you expect for a hotel. We went there for trivia night, which was really fun. The waiters were nice. The appetizers and drinks we had were good too. Overall, a pretty solid experience. Yup!“

“Brenda provided excellent service. Been to this hotel for small staycations with kids love the parfait. She put it in a better container for kids and lots of extra attention all around. Food tastes good prices are deece. Buy in advance with room to save money“

“After a really disappointing experience at another restaurant where we ended up leaving without eating, we stopped in here and sat at the bar — and I’m so glad we did. The service was fast, friendly, and welcoming from the moment we sat down. We received our food within about 15 minutes, and everything about the experience felt easy and enjoyable. The staff was attentive without being overbearing, and the atmosphere made it easy to relax after a frustrating start to the evening. They truly saved the night for us. We ended up having a great time, great service, and a much better overall experience than we expected walking in. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Downtown Fennville is cute, one block long and all restaurants. The restaurant is a refurbed brick with new wood touches.\nLots of vegan items in a smaller menu. Unique approaches on the included proteins.\nThey bake their own bread and include many hardy types. If you like chewy bread this is your place. The food is hearty and tasty, but not fancy. \nLastly, the service is very friendly and aims to please.“

“What a wonderful Cafe. We are staying in Saugatuck and this well worth the drive. For us we where home. Thank you Blue Goose“

“Great food , good atmosphere, great place for dinner In downtown Douglas“

“Great food! Comparable to Detroit metro!“

“Fantastic venue for a casual or special occasion. We visited this past New Year's weekend and our server Christian was fast, accurate, and accommodating. He answered questions about the liquor available and the specials Beechwood had available. The food was AMAZING! The plating was gorgeous - certainly Instagram worthy and what's better is that the food tasted as good as it looked. The fries to my beyond burger were so hot you could see the steam rising. Our appetizer of brisket dip is to return over and over for. Steak was cooked as requested and was gorgeously decorated with those classic grill marks. the restaurant was clean. Employees were friendly and seemed happy to be there - which in turn we can't wait to visit again!“

“A truly magnificent experience. We were only in MI for the week, and had to make Wild Dog Grille a repeat. The staffing was excellent. Eric, Donna, and Diamond went above and beyond to make our visit with our fur baby Jaxon Bleu comfortable, inviting, and beyond expectations. The food is incredible. It was definitely the treat of a lifetime for our 34th anniversary trip. We’re planning a re-visit in the near future.“

“Just wanted to tell you that my work brought my wife and I to Holland tonight. We always try to find a local restaurant when we are out of town, tonight we came in and let me tell you the wait team was great and the food was amazing. We will be back Thank you!“

“Visited downtown Holland while camping and stopped in for a carry out. The sandwiches were fresh and delicious. Many choices. Highly recommend.“

“Great live music on weekends Great food“

“I was there today for the bourbon and triple mash release. I thought the event was well organized, the staff was incredible and the crowd was friendly. Great event, I will be back!“

“Very affordable and quaint place for a bite to eat or sit to chat up with friends or whatever. I did notice how clean and how organized the bathrooms are in the mornings. I've not really gone in the afternoons or nights but I appreciate the morning staff and how professional they are. Our server was amazingly professional and responsive too! I loved the service so much. The tables in the mornings are so clean, the salad and soup bar was nice and tidy with no crumbs or unclean utensils to serve. The atmosphere was okay. It's more so the other patrons in there that are a bunch of old folks that don't like talking that's too loud or kids. If you have kids or a large family, be aware that there's moving but old white Dutch people and they like their space and silence 🔕

Kid-friendliness: Not recommended to go during breakfast time if you have kids just because of the old folks and their whining

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes! And as well in the bathroom“

“My daughter, grandkids and I stopped in to bowl and grab a drink from the bar. The two men who definitively appeared to be in charge of the lanes and bar were SO NICE. We will be back!“

“What I liked the most was the attention, both the girl who served us and who did the cashing. The food was good size and the price is fine considering the quantity (it is quite a lot). Easily a plate of could be shared between two. Personally I'm not eating very greasy food, but if you like that, this is your place. I ordered tilapia steak and chips and it came with a little pot of colesslaw. It is rich tilapia but came with a breaded topping and all fried, too greasy for me.“

“Joshua was AMAZING...Excellent server! Very good Breakfast...would go back again!“
