I haven't reviewed George's Smoke Shop for several years, so this is long overdue…read more This traditional cigar and pipe shop (with smoking lounge) has been serving the Holland, Michigan area for 40 years as of 2026, and each "George" has brought his own unique style to this wonderful shop in America's best downtown. From the original owner, George Howe, to his brother Michael Howe, to Ren Mireles, Adam Lee and Erik Alberg, this cozy (440 sq. ft.) shop has evolved and matured. Current owner Erik Alberg, aka"George the 5th", had been a patron for more than 30-years before purchasing the shop late in 2025, continuing the tradition. I've done business with them all. The cigar selection (120+ facings) is carefully curated to feature some of the best cigars available. As George himself was famous for saying "They're All Good!" New sticks are brought in regularly and old favorites also are stocked. New for 2026, Jorge's Cigars are back in the shop! Cuban American Jorge Casimiro started rolling cigars at George's Smoke Shop more than a decade ago and since has become a well-respected cigar manufacturer. George's Smoke Shop also features a wide selection of custom pipe tobaccos including the venerable "George's Blend", as well as pipes and pipe smoking accoutrement. Cigar lighters, cutters, and other items also are available. The cigar lounge at the rear features a half-dozen comfy chairs, two TV screens, and plenty of lighters and cutters. This is my go-to place for sports! One thing that sets George's apart from a lot of shops is that all the regulars, whether they're 21 or 81 years old, are friendly and welcoming. So, if you're looking for a second home...this just may be your place. (I know it's mine!) And if you're "just visiting" Holland, check it out while you're there. There's a reason downtown Holland is THE BEST downtown in America...and George's Smoke Shop is one very important element in that well-earned title. PS: No vape, no e-cigs, no cannabis. Just cigars and pipe tobacco!

Erik is very knowledgeable and keeps a fantastic collection of cigars! 10/10 will return!…read more Try the Jorge newspaper lancero! Long live "George The 5th"!

The prices are a premium for cigars so be prepared to pay a little extra for a cigar. The drinks are made well, the bartenders know their stuff. Sit back and enjoy the big screen and relax.

I hadn't been there in over 4 years because of my last experience with the previous owner and his stupid rules. None of that!

It's such a fun, immersive atmosphere. The food? Amazing. The drinks? Delicious. And the service? Even better. Everything just flowed and made for such a great night. Definitely one of those places you go for the full experience, not just the meal.

I have been here twice now and both times everything was exceptional! The ambiance and vibe of the…read morerestaurant is unlike any other place in the West Michigan area! The menu is very big and there's a lot of variety and something for everyone! I can't recommend this place enough, it is truly one of my favorite restaurants in Michigan. The service is very attentive and kind and even when we went on a busy night and they were missing a chef, they were still super accommodating and apologetic. I will say this is definitely on the pricier side but you are paying for amazing quality food, service and ambiance! Expect to pay around $80+ per person for drink, apps, entree and dessert depending on what you get. There is plenty of street parking in Saugatuck but during the busier summer months you might have to circle around a few times to find a spot. When we went this past week, there were plenty of spots available.

While in town for the weekend, we were looking for a place to grab a drink in the evening of our…read morefirst night. With a lot of places closed, we stumbled upon Noble Twist Taphouse. We are so glad we did! We loved it so much we returned our second night, as well! First, while many places closed at 9pm, Noble Twist closed at 10pm. Second, the hostess and bartender were welcoming, kind, and professional. Third, the ambiance is clean, modern, and open. We loved the classy, but not pretentious, vibe since many of the other spots in town have more of a dive-bar vibe. We sat at the bar to watch games on the TV, but there were plenty of tables with chairs, as well. The drinks menu is fabulous! I got a different cocktail each night and loved both. First, the Partridge in a Pine Tree. Second, a Dirty Gin Martini. Both were flavorful, high quality, and boozy. My husband tried the IPA the first night and the Pilsner the second. He loved both! Best of all, prices are reasonable for quality beverages! The menu also had wine and food, but we did not try either. Next time! Noble Twist Taphouse is our new favorite drinking spot in Saugatuck! We look forward to visiting the next time we are in town!

The Hot Italian (sub mozz) was flavorful, had a sweet sauce, and a chewy crust. While we can't remember the gals' order (see pics), they also loved their pie. The wings (we were curious because our family is from Calabria) were spicy, meaty, and flavorful. Service was friendly, warm, and quick. We look forward to the summertime when we can enjoy Noble's pies on the patio.

Have you ever had a place that you didn't want to review because you don't want other people to…read moreknow about it? This is that kind of place. It's a dive bar in a very busy City and it is still a local watering spot. I can't say the food is the greatest but they do have keno, and they do have ice cold beer and they're very heavy-handed on their cocktails. Don't expect anything fancy, but always expect good conversation. The bartenders are always friendly every time my friend and I have been there and I will continue to go every time I am on the west side of the state.

This spot was so fun!!…read more We stopped on a random weekday afternoon while passing through town. They have PIZZA FLIGHTS - this idea is absolutely genius!! You can pick up to four different pizzas that come out as one big pie! I LOVE unique pizza and always have a hard time choosing which one to try - this idea is just the absolute best!! My husband and I both chose 2 pizzas to have included in our flight - everyone wins!! :) We chose Aloha BBQ, Brickhouse Bee Sting, Curse of the Goat, and Brotherly Love. We also requested a side of ranch! They have delicious ranch! Every pizza was so tasty and we loved every single bite!! The beer choices are also great!! My husband and I both enjoyed our selections and they paired so nicely with the pizza!! My Husband chose Fog Out, a New England IPA. I ordered the Pour of 84, a Pilsner and ode to the 84 Detroit Tigers! So cool!! They have a super cute outdoor eating space! Several 2 seaters up on their cute wrap around porch and then many more picnic style tables out in their side yard! Perfect for a lakeshore restaurant experience! This place is truly so fun! Definitely worth checking out!!

Apology: I didn't take any pictures of the food because we were hungry and it was delicious…read more We went to Phil's while in town visiting The Dunes for the Miss Gay Michigan America Pageant this weekend. Walking in we were immediately redirected because we didn't notice the please wait to be seated sign that was outside of the door. It would be nice if the sign had been a little more visible or if we had been redirected more kindly. We were sat immediately and even though I tend to hate high tops, the chairs were sturdy and comfortable. Between myself and my friends we ordered the grilled ham and cheese, the nutty salad, and the burger (with cheddar, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, mayo, ketchup, and mustard). We all loved our food and it came out quickly. I ordered my burger medium-well and it was cooked perfectly. Our server was attentive and made sure to refill our water frequently. At the end of our meal they gave us little cups of animal crackers, which was just the cutest touch! Overall loved and would totally return and recommend.

We originally popped into Phil's Bar & Grille just for a quick drink before our dinner…read morereservation... and yeah, that plan didn't stand a chance. We grabbed seats at the bar, and the place was full of locals which honestly tells you everything you need to know right there. And not just full... but full of the nicest people. The kind of place where you feel like you belong within five minutes. Now let's talk about Jimmy... WOW. Absolute rockstar behind the bar. Not only was he making amazing drinks, but he was also doing his best to convince us to ditch our dinner reservations and stay honestly, he almost had us The drinks were so good we ended up coming back later that night for dessert... because clearly we weren't done yet. But here's the part that got me I casually mentioned it was my birthday weekend, nothing big... and the NEXT DAY while we were walking around downtown, we look up and there's my name on the marquee wishing me a happy birthday. Like... who does that?! That kind of thoughtfulness is just next level and completely made my day. Phil's isn't just a bar--it's a whole experience. Every time we walked by, it was packed, and after being there... I get it. They're doing a lot right. If you're anywhere near Saugatuck--GO. Sit at the bar, order a drink, and just enjoy it. You'll probably end up staying longer than you planned too
