Got takeout - yummmm. Got a cheeseburger with sweet potato fries. Serving size was generous. Service was great - friendly. Prices reasonable. Discount for using cash! Can eat in as well, small inside dining area and a bit larger outside area. read more

Our Michigan friends have brought us to explore Glen Arbor and on our way back, we desperately needed food. We decided to try this place and were surprisingly blown away! Being a burger joint, we obviously ordered everything but the burgers lol. We had a long trip ahead and didn't wanna feel too greasy but looking over at other tables later, the burgers looked delicious. I got the peach salad that came with curried pumpkin seeds and shredded asiago and croutons. I added grilled chicken for $4. I wished there were some fresh peaches on it but the salad was tossed in a peach dressing instead. The croutons also tasted like fried pieces of sandwich bread. I will say, I was so pleasantly surprised by how delicious this salad was! Holy cow, after a few days of camping, having vegetables was one thing, having this salad changed my outlook on life. My fiancé was a little saddened by the fact that we will be no where near this place (from Connecticut) becuase he thoroughly enjoyed his brisket wrap. Maybe it's the Mid Western charm and hospitality, but our experience was so great. After getting the bill, our waiter (who had two colored socks on and my friend thought he only had one, but alas, one sock was just black while the other was a hot pink) offered us our drinks to go and brought us back a full cup of iced tea and Dr Pepper. Our table of four left with a $70 bill which was fantastic, given that the food also satiated us to the best degree. All the way from CT, I wanna say: thank you Michigan. And thank you to the Gnarly Heifer, even though we did not taste your Heif. read more

An impromptu drive, let us to the gnarly heifer, and I've never been more grateful. They were packed as there was an event happening in town, but I suspect that they are no stranger to weights and a full house because their food was amazing! Not only the food, but the service was so friendly. I literally felt like I was just hanging out in someone's kitchen. My husband got the brisket, burger, and declared it the best burger he's ever had in his life. I got the Farmer burger and it was exceptional. We split an order of Cajun fries which were well seasoned. Not as crisp as I prefer my tries to be, but that is just personal preference, and there were so many that we barely made a dent and had to take the rest home. You will not regret coming here! read more

Food ( SHROOMALICIOUS BURGER) outstanding with 1lb TRUFFLE FRIES absolutely perfect. We will be going back. Prices are a little high but my opinion worth it! read more

What an awesome little place! Greeted right away with menus and drinks. Answered questions and gave great recommendations. Hubby had the Bodacious Brisket burger and I had the burger made my way. I had sweet potato fries and he did the regular. We loved every bit of it! Highly recommend. Cutest lil place. read more

Food is great and a nice selection. Staff obviously works very hard to provide a good customer experience. They've done a good job of creating a spot where families can eat while entertaining kids. However...if you are an adult couple or group who are looking for a place to relax and converse, the atmosphere is a bit too chaotic and Chucky Cheese for that. My advice in that case would be to skip eating in, along with the long wait that often goes with it. Get your meal to go and dine in a more comfortable, relaxing spot. read more

HORRIBLE. 1pm, 2 guests on a weekday. Placed lunch order at outside table. Waited 1 hr for food. She then came up to us and asked if we had ordered. We said yes! She remembered our order details & replaced order. Food quality was NOT worth the wait. No appology, no bill reduction. They also charged us a convenience fee & we pd in cash? Eat elsewhere!!! read more

Kind of a small space but the food and staff were great! I tried the Monster Mash special, which is a double smashburger with sauteed onions and mushrooms and some sauces cut in half and planted face down in a pile of mashed potatoes! Delish! Don't forget to get your doggo a "puppy patty" (unseasoned burger patty) too! Tracker was in heaven on the ride home! Woof! read more

Definitely one of the top 10 burger places that I have been to. Very good quality. Cute and cozy dining area. Service was great.

Wow! The reviews were right! This is a great place. I highly recommend you stop by and check it out.

Okay guys, this is THE one. Cozy space, welcoming staff and ethically sourced food. Best meal we have had in a long time. We came here on the way home from a short vacation up north and Yelp guided us to this gem. We had no idea what to expect, but felt a calm come over us upon entering this bright and well decorated establishment with real plant clippings and healthy food options. I immediately vibed with the chalk board menu and daily specials. The waitress was down to earth and kind. It felt like a bohemian diner that was kid friendly. You guys... the food! Everyone cleared their plates. They made their fries from scratch. My carrot ginger soup hit the spot for a cold day along with my delicious veggie dipping sandwich. My hubby devoured his juicy burger and even their soda had a healthy undertone, marketed as "prebiotic grape soda." This place is not around the corner from us, but if it was... we'd be regulars! Definitely on our radar the next time we find ourself near Whitehall. read more

Do yourself a favor and go get a burger here! I had an event in town and stopped by for a REAL burger, bun and all. At first it looked heavy on the lettuce, but it wasn't -it was perfect. I created my own with a single patty + cheddar, bacon and all the fixins. A server will come out to take your order whether you sit inside or out. You only order at the counter if you want it to go. Seating inside was pretty full, but I wanted to sit outside anyway since they offer plenty of shade. If there is a wait for indoor seating, they have a board for you to sign in at the door. They always seem to be busy (for good reason), so I apparently hit it at a good time... I was literally the only person on the patio. Good, kind people who don't mess around when it comes to good food and service. Great staple for Whitehall. read more

The best burger of my life? Perfectly smashed, incredible flavor. Got their standard burger topped as is. Picked it up and took it to the brewery down the street (they didn't have food yet at lunchtime). Love that they don't throw your fries for online orders in until you come in to pick it up. Slows the process down the littlest bit, but well worth it and I respect the commitment to quality. If I pass through Whitehall again or anywhere within 20 miles I'm going back for the Gnarly Heifer. read more

Waffle fries, truffle fries, and burger were super good! Prices were pretty affordable as well! Definitely will be coming back

A+ food quality and I'll the service staff kudos for juggling a super busy night. Truffle fries were excellent, the salad was surprisingly tasty and fresh. The waiter did a nice job with a table near us who were concerned about allergies and needed some special accommodations. Mushrooms burgers were loaded!! Overall a nice friendly experience read more

Gnarly burger perfectly cooked. Gnarly sauce made the burger along with caramelized onions.

Ordered burgers to-go tonight and they were fantastic. Holy cow (pun intended). We had the original Gnarly and and Olive Burger, with a host of additions from the guy taking orders. Cajun fries and cheese sauce as well. Had enough time to wander down to Pub 111 for an incredibly strange time with the two-man band, featuring a steel drum?!? Took our burgs back to the patio at our hotel, and were so incredibly impressed with how tasty everything was. Highly recommend. read more

The flavor of the food was exceptional. Everyone working was welcoming and friendly. There isn't a lot of seating inside but there is more outside seating when the weather permits. We will definitely be back. read more

It's been two weeks since returning home to California and we are still talking about the Gnarly Heifer. We decided to come here on a whim and almost didn't to check out Whitehall, what a disappointment if we didn't. We tried their Truffle Fries, delicious then, delicious cold or reheated later. I had the brisket burger which lasted two meals and was so HUGE. My brother tried the special which was beyond amazing. We were so impressed and it was our favorite place in our 10 day still in Michigan from Grand Rapids to Holland to Whitehall, this was the best. read more

My partner and I stopped here for lunch on a Saturday while heading up north, and we were so glad we did! I had the "Hold the Beef" falafel burger - absolutely delicious - and he loved his brisket burger. The fries were my favorite: thin-cut, perfectly crispy and golden-dark, with their special gnarly sauce that's insanely good. The service was also top-notch - super friendly and welcoming. We'll definitely be back! read more

The food at this place is absolutely incredible! The beef they serve comes from local farms, and The French fries are crispy and delicious.

Fantastic gnarly burger. From the bottom to top of the bun every tast was yummy. I recommend using the Guy Feiri hunch to eat this burger. Perfect beef burger patties hanging over the bun, bacon, cheese, and a true gnarly sauce. Service was on point and we dined outside on a warm March evening. read more

Best food we've eaten in a really long time! It was so above and beyond. Just good food that makes you feel warm and gushy. Our family of six loved every single thing we got. We all had something different. We tried 3 different fries. All were amazing. Even the basic fries. The service was awesome - literally everyone was great. They even had dinosaur toys for our 3 year old to play with while we were there. It was just a great experience. Please do yourself a favor and go. Even if you have to drive out of the way. I promise it's worth it. I wouldn't be surprised to find them on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives in the future! read more

As soon as we sat down we were told they ran out of fries and tater tots. And all they had was Brussels sprouts. We were sat outside on a sticky unclean table the past customers food and check were still waiting on the table. The waiter was extremely rude to us and ignored us as we were talking to him. The food was mediocre, and again no fries or tots... yet he kept bringing them out to all the other people... the young man did explain if you want fries don't come on a Saturday. Not impressed at all save your time and money go to Culver's..(it's better) read more

Cozy local place with amazing food. Tonight was our 2nd visit and it was as good as I remembered. We had cowgirl chili, fries, a coney dog, and a dog topped with Mac and Cheese and bbq. Fresh and creative with unique flavors. Staff were attentive and sweet. read more

Great fries and Tots. The Finish line was very good for a smash style burger. The mushroom burger was good and would be ordered again

Very Nice! Totally unexpected and exceeded expectations. This burger place has an awesome burger and menu. The wings were exceptional appetizer. Prepared first by smoking and then dipped and fried for an amazing taste paired with gnarly sauce. Gnarled burger was really good. The patty is smashed and seasoned then with the added accoutrements...delicious. Brisket taco special was really good too with fries. Really enjoyed the outdoor seating and the service was exceptional by the friendly and bubbly Courtney who was really attentive and informative on the menu. Five Stars. Ask for Courtney. read more

Great place to grab a burger, lots of options. Great seating area good for a summer day. Service was quick and tentative.

The Gnarly Heifer is a great addition to the White Lake area. The "Moo Mac" is my favorite item on the menu. The brisket has a sweeter taste and is delicious. The truffle fries are also great as an appetizer. The staff are all so kind and outgoing. The pricing may seem expensive to some, but considering the rising inflation rates, the cost of meat, and the larger portions, it is so worth it. The restaurant also has a rotating burger special that varies each week as well as different soup specials. If you visit when the macaroni and cheese soup is available, get the biggest size you can get because it is amazing! Overall a great atmosphere with an option to sit outside too under a shaded area! read more
