Walking into Kirby's House for the first time I was impressed! Love the old refurbished building, clean and tasteful decor! I ordered the coconut mojito for a drink, I highly recommend it! I couldn't pass on the Kirby burger. Now that is a burger!! Thick burger patty cooked to how I like, brisket, jalapeños, onion ring sauce and all the topping! Delicious!!! I can't wait to go back! It is coast guard week and I was able to find easy parking. Our waitress was very kind and enthusiastic. FYI... they are card ONLY and they charge a 3% wage & benefit recovery fee. read more

Great spot. Good food. Okay service. Plenty of outdoor seating. High tops and low tables available. We were able to bring in our bikes, since we didn't have locks. It wasn't too busy. Live music started and he was great but the competing music from across the street was annoying. The service was slow and didn't pay attention to detail, like flatware or waters. The lettuce wraps were fresh and good but very messy. Should have had extra napkins brought with the plate. Not have to wait forever for her to come back to ask for more napkins. It was a wonder why she was so busy when so many staffers were just milling around, chatting. Inside was spacious with a large projector showing sports. I understand why they are so slow for a Saturday afternoon. The flatbreads are good. Asked for light cheese and they made it just as asked. The white chicken chili was hearty. I didn't try it but my friend said it was tasty and filled him up. It was a large bowl. Good spot for a nice outdoor evening. read more

We had just walked out of Odd Sides due to we couldn't get any service sitting at the bar. We were greeted as soon as we walked in the door. We sat at the bar and the bartender was very attentive to our needs. We had a great conversation with him. The food was excellent. The fries were the best I've ever had and my boyfriend loved the walleye sandwich. It was a wonderful experience and lunch. Thank you Alex . read more

The chili was top-notch as recommended from someone else. Lobster roll was pretty good too. They don't really mention it when you come in but you can eat on the rooftop, it's kind of a small area but on a sunny day it's kind of nice. Inside they have several games you can play and that's a nice touch if you want to hang out and have some beers and such. Great location, service was average good enough. read more

Atmosphere outside was great tonight. Meal was so good. Hubby had the Kirby burger and said it is one of the best burgers he's had in a long time. He ate it so fast I could only get a photo of his onion rings. Brendan did a great job with service! We frequent Grand Haven often and always stop at The Kirby House. read more

Great food amazing staff good menu I really liked the non alcoholic drinks and Mac and cheese was great

So we're back at the Kirby house. We tendered open over from our boat. Little bit of a walk. Nice exercise. House sets right in the middle of downtown. For people that are vegetarian it's a great stop they have a good selection. Our Captain likes to get the cauliflower steak. Today Peggy and I are splitting their stirfry. I ordered a bowl of soup. Best of all they have my rum. The food in the service are always outstanding. The ambience to die for. You should check it out sometime . The old guy read more

Visited Grand Haven on September 9th and had my dog with me. Saw on the Kirby House website that pets were welcomed. Walked in with my stand was told that it was service animals only. They might want to update their website so people from out of town like myself won't waste our time going there. read more

Our server Ava was fantastic! She was at the table getting our drink order right after we were sat. Checked on us several times throughout the dinner and promptly brought the check. We both loved the food. Super hot (temperature) when it arrived and it looked and tasted great. Restaurant ambiance was great and although it was very busy, it wasn't too loud and the many employees bustling around were quietly performing their well rehearsed tasks. Totally recommend this place! read more

Update: Ordered the pan seared grouper. The fish itself was okay, but the rice was way over seasoned/too salty. Ended up paying $25 for just eating fish. I'd recommend ordering the grouper sandwich to save money, but you also get more food (amazing fries instead of awful rice). I would have complained but the waitress never asked how it was. I also had to ask for silverware for myself since it wasn't included. Great views and a fun indoor gaming room. Would recommend for drinks and pizza, but not the entrees (see fish taco review below). First time I was here: Average fish tacos, poor service, but excellent follow-up customer service. The waitress was having personal issues (struggled talking, was fidgety, twitchy, etc.), but she also was slow with taking orders. The fish tacos were dry and the coating/seasoning wasn't great, but the veggie toppings were fresh/good. Lastly. Since we had such poor service, a nice manager offered to give the whole table 20% off. The restaurant will see me again since she made that offer, otherwise, I wouldn't have come back. read more

Sat at the bar for a few drinks. Bartender was nice but we watched as she poured drinks, she took a bug out of a drink with a straw, and continued to go on to serve it. Continued to hard handle straws and rims of glasses. The atmosphere was great just can be a little concerned about what is being done behind scenes if your that comfortable in front of guests. read more

Nice environment if you ignore the flies at the bar. Very good food and service otherwise. Not a fan of the pizza though.

Grand Haven local. Been here a few times and food and drink is nothing special, but always good and consistent. I would've said the ambiance was nice until my most recent experience at an event. The set up itself wasn't bad, but what ruined the event for me, was the management. Several of us overheard the manager speaking to staff in a demeaning, condescending way. I suspect they thought they were out of earshot -- they weren't. It was unprofessional and created an uncomfortable atmosphere for everyone involved. I've heard some chatter that this kind of behavior isn't out of the ordinary here, but this was my first time witnessing it. As a parent, I feel bad for the kids on staff. For many of them, this is their first job and it's unfortunate this is their first impression of what a workplace is supposed to be like. I won't be returning and wouldn't recommend it to anyone else. There are numerous restaurants in GH with better food and service. read more

Kirby House - Strawberry mocktail - New American Near Me - Grand Haven, Michigan

I think the other reviews speak volumes of what to expect when you eat here. I did not have high expectations. The food was okay. It was a nice quick spot to grab a bite after a day at the beach. There was no wait. The server was nice and attentive. The best thing we ate was the french fries. They were hot and alittle crunchy! But the grouper sandwich was a big flop. The jerk seasoning was way over powering. I would definitely not recommend it. My husband did not mind the chicken sandwich but it was not great. I am not sure if I would ever go there again. It is such a disappointment because they have TONS of staff and a great location! But if you can't make good food ... no one will want to come back. No pictures were taken because it was not worthy of a picture. I was being considerate with giving 3 stars. My kid had the cheese pizza and did not complain. read more

Loved the ambiance at the Kirby House. Our waitress Hannah was outstanding - friendly, courteous and ready to make recommendations. The macho nacho and coconut mojito were both excellent. Macho Nachos plate was large enough for 2-4 people depending on appetites. Very tasty and pleasant kick, not sure if it was the jalapeños or the sauce, but definitely worth the price. Coconut mojito was a perfect complement to the nachos - sweet, but not cloying! Lobster roll was eh.... The ratio of bitter greens to lobster was subpar and the bitter greens overwhelmed the lobster. The size of the sandwich was larger than most lobster rolls, but I felt like I was eating an arugula sandwich with a bit of lobster. Overall, we were happy with the Kirby House and plan to return again. Maybe next time we add our names. read more

Food: we split the five cheese pasta. It was very good. We took a portion home. Soup: white chili soup appetizer was very tasty and right temperature. Ambience: brightly lit from the surrounding windows. Cheery. Service: very attentive and professional read more

Don't order the stir fry. Just a bottle of some sugar syrup dumped on rice and some sort of chicken

First time here and have to say it's amazing! There was no wait, we sat outside in the warm sun. Beautiful day for it. The atmosphere is fantastic for being next the main road. Not so loud, a nice place to walk around. The waiter was nice, patient and checked up on us consistently. The restrooms are beautiful and clean. They even have wait seating in the bathroom. My fiance told me they are even known to be a haunted restaurant. Which makes it even a better reason to come back. We love our haunted places and the stories told. The food was omg over the top amazing!! I can't even say how good. It was so good I don't have the words to describe it! It's an experience you can only get when you come and eat it yourself! We plan to be back! read more

Saturday was a great day, good weather and this corner apparently is a trending place right now. I'd definitely suggest this place but take your time since the outside part is about 15 tables, there's no reservations so we had to put our name and went to the bar inside. Since they don't have a communication system I had to check every 15 min with the hostess outside. Meanwhile we had some drinks and I tried this bloody Mary who turned out to be a very unique drink, it has a celery stick, bacon on a stick, green chili, a slice of salami and a pickle! This was original and s new thing to taste. Once outside we ordered a meatsa pizza, it's like 12 inches but was very tasty and crunchy. Along with that we had an order of fries and this was amazing it was a huge bowl with their seasoned fries it was enough for three people! Definitely will go back but they have to be better at paging people! read more

Good service and beautiful view. Decent food but size of venue can accommodate many.

Cute spot. I got the Kirby Burger, or whatever it's called. A little heavy on the sauce, but it felt gourmet with that pot roast as a topping. read more

I attached a picture of the 5 cheese pasta with bitteres lobster. More of a sticky cheese than a saucey cheese and the lobster was not a tail or a set of claws but rather a few loose piecess. Hardly worth the 13.00 addrer to the 16.00 cheese pasta. They do have zero alcohol wine which is a plus. The ambiance is nice but given a second choice i would go across the street to snug harbor but too late. read more

Kirby House - This is the 5 cheese pasta with bitter poached lobster. - New American Near Me - Grand Haven, Michigan

Overpriced, mediocre food. Look at the bad reviews on TripAdvisor and keep your hard-earned money in your pocket.

Stopped by for a quick bite after walking and shopping around in the grand haven shops. There is plenty of outdoor seating, as well as a big interior and rooftop as well. We had the Thai chicken lettuce wraps, rosemary fries, and Caribbean pesto hummus crudite. The Thai chicken lettuce wrap was okay, nothing special. The rosemary fries were so crispy and delicious! The rosemary garlic spice used makes these so addicting. The hummus was interesting but I really liked the flavors. The pesto was not too strong or overpowering. I even dipped some of the fries in it. So good. read more

Outside patio was very nice. Our server was new and we had a group of 7. He did great. The food was ok, I had the vegetarian wet burrito. It had great potential but the inside was just gardein chicken(delish) and mostly rice. It was huge!! And filled with mostly rice so that was disappointing. If you were to order I would definitely get more added inside like beans/veggies/lettuce/ tomato. Overall a good experience though. read more

This place looked cute and after a very long car ride, we were crazy hungry! The place was clean and the hostess sat us quickly. The restaurant has a cute, beachy vibe. Our waitress was new and had a few issues with remembering specials, but that is to be expected being a new girl there. I asked her if they had any Gluten Free Cider and after checking with the manager, I was given a GF cider, which was pretty good. I made sure I told the girl I have Celiac and my food absolutely must be GF. She assured me it was. After bringing out our food and me being ravenous, I took a huge bite, only then did I realize that the chicken was breaded and indeed NOT Gluten free. The bread was cauliflower, but the chicken was breaded! I stressed I had Celiac multiple times to this girl, and she even went back and asked about the other items, so she knew. The manager did come out and offer to take care of the bill, which was nice, but I am in so much pain right now because of this mishap. I am giving one star because of the gluten mishap and my being sick because of this. Restaurant owners need to make sure they thoroughly train their staff to deal with allergies of any kind, because this should never happen to anyone! I can't judge the food as I couldn't eat it. Please use extreme caution if you dine here and have allergies! read more

There are no better french fries in the United States than at Kirby's. I love the food there. The cashew chicken with real chicken is outstanding as is the starter that has many different kinds of vegetables and peanut sauce. read more

I went here with my family while on vacation in Grand Haven. It was busy and we had to wait, but that is expected as it was the week of the CoastGuard Festival and we have a large party. We got sat in a little outside area. It was hot and sunny and very buggy which was not their fault but it was by a fairly busy street so not an ideal location. The service was good--very fast and thorough. I ordered the salmon BLT (which despite being called a blt had arugula instead of lettuce) and the salmon came out charred and overcooked. This was super disappointing as the rest of the sandwich was delicious. My sister had a similar issue with her steak, which was cooked well in the middle but completely charred on the outside. The rosemary fries were overly salty as well--practically inedible. My mother enjoyed her caesar salad though and the Brussels sprouts were got as an appetizer were delicious. read more

Service and food were both good. Location is good, and while this is slightly pricier than similar restaurants might be, the portions are reasonable. Would recommend this place. The food here wasn't amazing, but it was good. The rosemary garlic fries didn't taste at all like rosemary, but it was a large portion of seasoned, well-cooked fries. The white chicken chili was fine. It definitely goes best with the corn chips provided. I probably wouldn't order it again, but if I had it, I would enjoy it. The walleye blt was well done, and the potato chips as a side, while a stingy way of providing a "side", at least were quite a large portion of chips. Service here was great. Just the right amount of attention on a busy summer Sunday evening, and all of our requests (for water, napkins, ketchip, aioli) were tended to immediately. Servers were pleasant. Bonus points for the girl working the outdoor seating area. We'd asked how long the wait would be, and she said the indoor wait might be shorter, so we went to check. When we came back outside to put our names down for outside dining, she had already written us down on the list -- just in case -- so that we wouldn't be bumped further down the list. So the food is fine, but the best part of the experience was the service. There was some live music provided, and you can also easily hear from here any performance going on at the waterfront. read more

Went here for our first outing with restaurants opening back up and I'd never been. I was was pleasantly surprised. I assume downtown grand haven, close to the pier would be over priced and lack quality. Kirby had neither of those issues. I got a pizza and cheese bread with a cocktail and it was great. I think it would be 5 stars if their menu was a little more concise. Asian, Mexican, Italian, burgers, seafood .. a little bit of everything. While it was good, there's no way to excel at all of those things without skimping on ingredient cost, either running out or going for cheap. The marinara was a dead giveaway they did the latter. Taste canned, Burrito is premade shredded chicken, I'm quite sure most of their sauces are from bottle not made in-house. But all in all not bad. My cocktail (101 proof brown sugar bourbon old fashioned as quite good. We'll be back. read more

Great food, service and prices. Nice happy hour specials. Would definitely go again during our next stay in Grand Rapids

Oh man where do I start... I went to the Kirby House for lunch and I will say the service was amazing. However the food I ordered, Cauliflower Steak was not that great. I have been sick with food poisoning for 2 days now, and went to the Emergency Room. The ambiance of the restaurant was very pleasant but I would stay away from the cauliflower steak. Other than that I would say the Kirby house is an alright place if you are hungry and have no other options. read more
