    Very deceiving! So much bigger on the inside than it looks from the outside unless you're looking at it from the water. Very friendly service and good selections. I was surprised to see so many sushi options. The kids options are phenomenal.

    Harbor Burger with fries

    Nice place! The workers were very nice and attentive and overall just very sweet! We did unfortunately get sat right with the sun in our eyes, but it was still a nice view. I asked for no onions on my burger and they put some on, but it wasn't bad because I could just scrape them off. The burger was very good otherwise! Honestly the price is very high for the food you are getting but I would still recommend coming here.

    Fish & Chips (we asked for no tartar).

    Typically, I try to rate an overall rather than break down each individual aspect, but as you will see there were some wildly varying factors. Service: Nick - 5 stars. He was kind, efficient, and attentive. We made a reservation and were seated quickly. Ambiance: 4/5 - The ambiance was charming. Darker, quieter (they also weren't super busy at 6 on a Saturday which was surprising), and had tasteful decor. We sat next to the fireplace which was so lovely and warm. Beverages: They either jigger or short pour. Mine was tasty but needed a few more sips, his was interesting, but I would have expected his to come in a pint, vs a modified high ball (approx. 6oz with ice?) Food: Here's where it kind of fell apart. We ordered the bread plate (1/5) because I had gotten pasta as a main dish and it isn't served with any bread. Focaccia was good, but the pumpkin was burnt. Pumpkin isn't something I normally would eat, so I am letting his ranking stand. Also, wasn't a fan of either butter. He ordered the fish and chips (1/5) and the batter was definitely inedibly undercooked on the second piece. He picked out the fish from inside. The fries were standard. The pea stuff was interesting. I didn't mind it, but definitely didn't need a whole soup cup full. I tried the other piece of his cod and it was fine. My entree was the Seafood Tomato Alfredo. I'd say a heavy 4/5. Typically, I don't eat red sauce, and this was a very medium orange. My only complaint is that it could have used a teaspoon of sugar to cut the bitterness (as a person who doesn't eat red sauce). If you do, this is probably a 5/5 for you. The seafood pieces were plentiful and large, and the pasta perfect. Overall the food came quickly and was a generous portion. However, we probably won't be back to try it again as he was quite unsatisfied and would probably rate his entire experience a 1/5. For me, I'd give it another shot, but for the money, if we want a nicer dinner we would probably find somewhere else.

    Lots of snow - at times it hid the lighthouse.

    We finally made it to Snug Harbor for lunch today. The weather was horrible but we had an appointment that took us out anyway so we stopped in to try the place out. And damn! It was so good that there are about 6 other items I want to try. We both had French Onion soup to start and it was pretty good. I'm definitely going to order it again. I had steak and frites - very tasty- the frites were worth eating every last one. My wife had Croque Madame sandwich - that was good too. The kettle chips that came with it are also worth eating every last one too. Service was outstanding and friendly.

    The view from our table

    Great atmosphere and good meal. We went for lunch sat outside for lunch. We enjoyed the wedge salad and clam chowder. Katie did a great job.

    Really nice views and fun to sit out and soak it all in! We had a reservation for a Saturday dinner on a busy holiday weekend, but nicely got seated on the top floor patio at a table closest to the water. Loved the spot! Food was good, not spectacular, but definitely hit the spot. We ordered: - Grand Haven Sushi Roll (tuna, salmon, cucumber, carrot, chive, ginger sake aioli) - Calamari (with roasted red pepper romesco) - Seabass with Potato in a Spanish tomato broth, tarragon chive oil, lemon - Side of Roasted Broccolini I loved the flavor of the sea bass dish, light, garlicky, herby. Thought the fish might have been a touch overcooked. Calamari was great, generous portion and super crispy, salty, with a unique dipping sauce. The broccolini was pretty plain (under seasoned and some parts fairly tough) but honestly it served its function which was that we really wanted to get in some veg, and appreciated how much of it we got. Sushi was good, the fish itself tasted fresh. I also tried a spicy tequila cocktail which was pleasant and refreshing. Actually pretty spicy with thick slices of jalapeños soaking in the drink (which I liked!) but not very strong. Will say it was very sunny the day we went though which meant it got pretty toasty! I had a scarf draped over my shoulders and arms for a bit of extra sun protection (and lots of sunscreen), but did see others around me getting a little burnt over the course of their meal. From the food alone (and considering cost), plus the heat, I'd say this is maybe a 3.5, but the views and overall ambiance definitely added to the experience too!

    The oysters are great so is the calamari. I love the ambience because the water is right next to you on the seating. The serving was great.

    Service was great -- we got take out but went in to order…read more Food was great! Generous portions -- enough for two meals

    Looking to try lunch menus of local Asian cuisine in our search we found Wok and Roll. Saturday we…read morewere disappointed to learn we had to wait until 4pm as they are not open for lunch. Located in a strip mallI, walked into the establishment and at a small table two patrons sit eating. The ambiance was similar to most small Asian restaurants we've purchased food from. Male standing at sushi bar told him I was there to pick up my order. He stated the hostess would be with me in a minute. Hostess arrived took payment for order and a few minutes later our food came out. The food is pricey and portions are on the small side compared to other Asian cuisine in the area. We paid 60+ dollars for 3 wok dinners and a salad. Yellow Curry Wok Tossed $15.00 Potatoes, onions, carrots and peas wok fried in a sweet yellow Thai curry sauce with your choice of protein (Didn't like that the potatoes in the dish were potato logs like the ones you get from the deli.) 2 Dinner Broccoli Wok Tossed $1 Sauteed broccoli in a flavorful brown sauce with your choice of protein Thai Salad Lettuce, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, cilantro, pineapple, chicken satay with peanut vinaigrette dressing (My salad did not have pineapple!!) and we didn't care for the peanut vinaigrette dressing that comes with the salad. A Plus: The 2 Dinner Broccoli Wok Tossed were not greasy and the beef was a better quality and cut a bit thicker. We can check off this local Asian Cuisine establishment and continue our tasting journey. I hope they maybe a diamond in the rough.

Location Drinks My husband had the Mule and I had the Blueberry Vodka Lemonade. SOOOO good! My husband and I stopped here after a day at the beach because we hadn't been here in years! It will definitely be the last time we eat here. The pizza was cold, wet and soggy at the bottom. I ended up eating a couple of pieces around the sides, closer to the crust where it wasn't wet gross bread. My first bite I said to my husband "This tastes like Red Baron pizza." I highly do not recommend the pizza. I've had the lettuce wraps while hanging out at Odd Sides and they were delicious! The service was honestly also not great. She was friendly enough, but being attentive to guests was not trained into any of the servers working the outdoor seating area. We were one of 3 tables outside, so they were not busy. I can understand, and have total empathy for, being a server in weeds so deep it's hard to get drinks re-ordered (been there done that), but today was not the case. At one point there were 5 servers/hostess standing around the hostess stand while our drinks were empty. Wild. I saw what looked like a manger walking in the area twice (not near us) and at one point another server was talking on her phone while walking through the outdoor dining area, telling the person on the other line "I'm still at work." Physically yes, mentally no. I can't help but feel like the cold wet pizza I was less of a kitchen issue than a service issue. The outdoor patio dining area is probably one of the most tired looking on the street of downtown Grand Haven with chipped paint on stools and old umbrellas (what few there were). Kirby used to be a destination in Grand Haven for their food, service and wood fired pizzas. I'm sad about what it's become now. I'd recommend go elsewhere. There are so many great places for eats and drinks that you can pass on Kirby House. I'm holding out hope for a big comeback for this place!
