We went on a Sunday evening and were seated immediately. Unfortunately the food and drinks were only ok. My husband has celiacs and they were very accommodating and knowledgeable. He had the burger which was good and we got the spinach artichoke dip which was also good. I got the ahi tuna as my main which was not a good choice even though it was recommended by the server. I got the guava margarita and my husband got the coconut mojito. Perhaps I just ordered wrong with that ahi tuna but I would have expected better food for what we paid. But the atmosphere and service were top notch so we may come back if we vacation in St Joseph again. But I'd definitely get a steak or burger -- not seafood -- next time.

The top piece was juicy and cooked excellently. The bottom more meaty piece was drier and cooked more than the top thinner piece. The veggies were room temp, but others in our group ordered steak which the server told us we were waiting for. Overall great selection and a menu designed with care. Would visit again!

Living in the Chicago suburbs means we're spoiled with dining options, but Chop Shop Primehouse…read moreeasily ranks among my top picks. It can be a little tricky to find, yet the reward is absolutely worth the journey. This is a small, intimate, uniquely designed steakhouse--zebra rug in the entry, artwork hung between booths for privacy, a cozy 10‑seat bar, thoughtful touches in the restrooms, and a staff that's as friendly as they are knowledgeable. Every detail feels intentional. From the moment you walk in to the moment you leave, you're taken care of by some of the best hospitality professionals around. A special shout‑out to Julianna, who handled our meal on this visit as well as the last--pleasant, kind, courteous, organized, deeply knowledgeable, and simply excellent at what she does. Now, the meal. I started with a Chopshop Old Fashioned made with Buffalo Trace bourbon, crafted by a skilled mixologist using a large square ice cube stamped with the restaurant's logo. One of the best Old Fashioneds I've had. Next came the Iceberg Salad--Danish blue cheese, confit tomato, lardon, and a soft egg, all resting on a blanket of blue cheese dressing. Unbelievably delicious, and easily enough for two. For my entrée, I ordered the Bakkafrost Scottish Salmon from the Faroe Islands (look it up--tucked between Iceland, Scotland, and Norway). It arrived glazed with bourbon apricot, paired with shallot gastrique, parsnip purée, spicy pecans, pork belly, and multicolored mini carrots. Every bite was a layered, balanced taste sensation. The sweetness of the salmon and glaze, combined with a touch of gastrique and parsnip purée, created pure gastronomic bliss. My date ordered the Meatloaf Wellington, made with house‑ground filet, puff pastry, duxelles, prosciutto, mashed potatoes, and bordelaise. You say meatloaf--I say filet. Absolutely delicious. If you haven't been, take the drive. You won't be disappointed.

From the outside,…read moreyou wouldn't anticipate stepping into such a modern, intimate space, but once inside, the vibe is warm, stylish, and perfect for a date night. Coming from a big city with no shortage of high-end steakhouses, I'm used to premium pricing. I wasn't expecting big-city prices in Holland, which was a bit surprising. That said, the food was overall very good, with the exception of two sides: the layered potatoes and the truffle risotto. The layered potatoes looked incredibly promising but unfortunately lacked seasoning and flavor, tasting more like plain potato than the indulgent side they appeared to be. The risotto was also underwhelming slightly bland, with a few hard pieces of rice. Everything else, however, was excellent. The Maryland-style crab cakes were a standout, easily some of the best I've had, with generous portions and great flavor. The salmon and filet were both perfectly cooked, juicy, and well-executed. Drinks: The margarita was spot-on, balanced, not too sour or too sweet. I also tried the in-house lemonade, which was quite bitter and not something I'd recommend. Overall, this was a great first experience, and despite a couple of misses, I would absolutely return.

When you walk in, it had a nice vibe to it. There is a huge barrel of peanuts that you can scoop to eat at your table. We were greeted right away, and we were walked to our booth. The place was pretty big. They had plenty of room for seating, especially for big parties. There was a couple of big parties that came before us and it didn't feel crowded. The place was clean. They have flatscreen TVs around muted and you can hear the country music in the background. Our waiter was very friendly and took his time when we were ordering. Hubby ordered a cocktail drink and he said it was good and I ordered unsweetened tea. The drinks came in mason jars, which was a nice spin to the standard glass cup. At the table, they gave us two fresh hot rolls that were light and fluffy sweet and buttered. It was so good that we asked for seconds. Hubby ordered the half slab barbecue ribs and loaded, baked potato and a side salad with 1000 island. The barbecue ribs was nice fall off the bone. It had dry rubbed smoked, and the rib sauce was on the side. Hubby liked it. He would get it again, and he also enjoyed his loaded, baked potato with all the fixings. I ordered the 1 pound bone in ribeye steak with baked potato with butter and sour cream, medium rare and side salad with thousand island dressing. I got the salad and I was asked if I wanted croutons and cheese and I said yes it was OK. I felt like the lettuce should've been more fresh and crispy. It was kinda wilted, but I still ate it anyway. And they doused the salad with my thousand island dressing. Next time I will ask for the dressing on the side. My steak was indeed medium rare just the way I like it. I was also given A1 steak sauce, which is my favorite stay condiment. Our weight staff checked us a couple of times to make sure everything was OK. Is definitely a popular place because after we left the place got filled up pretty quickly. Overall, I come back here again when I'm around the area for the steak and ribs, the hospitality and those hot rolls!

The restaurant RyeBelles is located in St. Joseph Michigan. I think that this is the best restaurant in the area! My boyfriend and I frequently go here on dates. The restaurant is a little difficult to find but if you have a GPS or some good directions you should be fine! One of the most popular items on the menu is the onion rings. I did not like onion rings before I tried them here and I have not found any others that even come close to comparing to Clementines! They come on 6 inch or 12 inch long sticks. I recommend the smaller for two people if you are also ordering a meal each. The dill dipping sauce is great with all of the appetizers. The ranch dressing here is also very good, and homemade! I usually order the ranch chicken sandwich (which comes with bacon and cheese!). For sides, you can have fries, curly fries, or baked potato for all the same price. Broccoli or fruit costs 1.25 more. My boyfriend has liked the steak plate and the fried zucchini. If you are close to the area, definitely try it out! We drive about 45 minutes to get here and never regret it! read more

I hope that people refrain from going to this place were they sadly treat their customers without respect. I was one of those that was asked to "go back to my country" (being from Mexico), to "get up, leave, now" and many other disrespectful comments. 13 friends celebrating a birthday .... no one has to be treated this way for race, for the amount of money they leave at the table, or for the way they asked to split a check (which was the problem for them). You can tell they should not be in the hospitality business. Jim Champion the owner and Nate Bishop his nephew were arrogant, mean and totally incoherent with whatever they thought the problem was. We are all mothers enjoying an evening out who didn't deserve to be treated so lowly. He said " I am an American and don't want you here".... yes, this is America.. so sad, thought racism was erradicated long time ago at least in its true form, apparently not in the minds of these people. read more

Surprisingly, based on what I've heard, my first experience at Ryebelles was "less than stellar". Perhaps all the hype left me with unrealistic expectations, however, I was with a group of 4 - and none of us thought the food was worthy of the price. Our server was very nice, but inexperienced. We had to ask for plates for our appetizers, which she still forgot to bring, so we then had to ask the busboy (who did bring them right away). One of our entrée's was incorrect - loaded with mushrooms although specifically ordered without them - and our server's response was "whoops, my bad". They've definitely spruced up the look of the place once you're actually inside the restaurant, but path to getting there is less than impressive with the concrete stairs, etc. On the plus side, the cheesy bread appetizer was amazing - probably the only thing I would go back for. read more

Nice rooftop bar! We came her for drinks one evening and had a nice time. They have a really cool rooftop bar and it looks over the downtown. Drinks and service were pretty good; they were super busy so we did have a wait a while to be served. This is a kid friendly place as well, which is always nice. They have a large menu that we viewed, even though we didn't eat. Seemed like a lot of options! Definitely a fun place to check out in the summer. Major bummer that they don't open until 430 pm though!! I would think they would be open earlier for lunch, especially on a busy weekend like Memorial Day! read more

The hostess who greeted us was very welcoming and led us upstairs to our table. Our waiter was also very friendly, chatted with us about Pokemon Go and was generally quick with our items.
