Amazing food! Great service and so friendly. We were lucky to be there in off season so not crowded.

Bowdie's Saugatuck never disappoints! Everyone is amazing! We have a wonderful time celebrating last night! Lawrence is the absolute best!
Jennifer
Always love Bowdies for a special night out! No one in West Michigan has steak like Bowdies.

Food and ambience was as great as ever. This was the first time we had Ann as a server snd thoroughly enjoyed Our interaction and her attention. Great restaurant, food and staff!!

Our server, Michael was excellent. He suggested trying horseradish sauce with the fries and it was a great recommendation. Also we were disappointed that the Black Chicken was not on the wine list. He informed us that the list was being updated but he did say there was one bottle left in stock. That made our decision very easy. A wonderful evening!!

As always, the experience was amazing! We love coming here and it is always a great place for a special occasion.

Our experience at this restaurant was remarkable. The ambiance was cozy and comfortable. The food was very good and the service was great. It is a bit pricey, but the experience was a must do.

We dine at Bowdie's every year. This time we were disappointed. The food was delicious as always, but the slow service and weird attic seating brought down our experience. The attic seat was strange because we could hear all of the other tables conversations. We felt like we couldn't talk too loud and there was faint music, but not loud enough to be a buffer of voices. Our service was so slow. We understand that they were busy, but our meal took over 2 1/2 hours for drinks, a starter and an entrée. We had been seated for 40 minutes before we even got our first drink. The entrées took so long to come out. That half of our party ended up leaving before we paid the check because they had been there so long. The waitress was friendly, but when the manager came over to ask how our experience was, and we told her it was very slow, before we even finished answering her question, she snarkily gave the excuse that food was made fresh and takes time. Other tables had gotten their food before us, so I'm not sure what the disconnect was. We would like to return again for the food, but due to the service this time we may have to choose someplace else.

The waitress was so friendly and delightful! The food recommendations were spot on and there was no rush to leave. Highly recommended
Tammy
Our server, Ryann, was outstanding! She had the best suggestions for drinks, apps, dinner and dessert. We were seated upstairs which had a retro vibe and was very nice, but can be loud with other tables very close by.. Food and drinks were excellent. The filet melts in your mouth! It was a wonderful experience all around!
Excellent quality food and great service! Outdoor patio is very pleasant and bar is friendly. Highly recommend.

We (4) ate at the bar ~ Michael was a superb bartender and we cherish the (4) corner bar chairs. BTW, the new chairs look great and feel wonderful

This visit was not our first, but by far, it was the most memorable. The shrimp cocktail is always superb. We paired the filet with a lobster tail, perfection. Kudos to the chef and staff.

This is a very popular spot in Saugatuck. Years ago it was one of the best. Now it's one of the worst. The hostesses are outright rude. We made a reservation 8 weeks ago for 4 outside. She told me there was nothing available (even though there were 3 open tables, apparently they were for other people). Then they sat us up on the 2nd floor in a freezing room and we were the only guests! I came down and asked if we could wait for anything else and she said, that's it. So we left. Last time we were there we had 6 guests we waited forever for food, but the alcohol kept flowing and nothing came out right. Steaks were raw, bread was stale. Asked to speak to the manager who was belligerent.

Actually terrible. Pre dinner drinks took 45 minutes. Then apps took another 45. Turned out to be 3.5 hours. Totally bad value. Seems like this was the first time they ever served food. The food itself was ok and our server fine, but would never pay that kind of money for an unprepared restaurant.
