    Cheeseburger (cheddar) + bacon, lettuce, tomato, ketchup, mustard - soooooo good.
    Ali S.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Brisket Burger

    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.

    The food at this place is absolutely incredible! The beef they serve comes from local farms, and The French fries are crispy and delicious. I would 10000000000% recommend this restaurant The service here is exceptionally warm and inviting. Plus, the interior is beautiful, especially the dinosaurs!

    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!

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

    Update...no improvement on getting served fries and burgers at the same time. It's a simple thing that they just suck at even for take out.

    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

The service is good but be prepared to pay cash. Obviously the star of the show are the hot dogs and we were able to give them all a try. I thought the way they build them on a pizza peal was really cool and unique! If you want a good dog in a unique environment, give them a try!

It's known as being a late-night stop if you've had a few drinks, but I also like it sober. This isn't Chicago or Detroit, so don't compare them. Yesterdog is its own thing! The buns are steamed, soft, and squishy, and the hot dogs are not snappy. The chili is gloppy and salty, and it's honestly some of my favorite comfort food. It's super messy so be ready for a lot of napkins. New owners recently took over the spot but so far have kept everything the same, including only taking cash. Try your hand at the tip target and grab a seat at a lumpy booth. Enjoy the many photos and messages left by previous patrons. The menu is simple - hot dogs (my favorite is the cheddar dog), chips, and beverages. There is a system of ordering so read it on their website. And don't forget cash. (They do have an ATM on site now.) Metered street parking and paid parking lots are all over in this area.

Specifically the hot and tangy sauce. We arrived on a Friday night and there was surprisingly no wait for a party of 4. I love the theme of this restaurant. It is like an old car shop and the neon lights and half of a car on the wall is like nothing you can find in Muskegon. Our service is always topnotch here. The servers work together to make sure people are taken care of, even if they aren't in their section. It is so nice! Sometimes our server will be busy but no problem, another server notices your drink needs filled and just does it! Loooove that they are a true team. I ordered onion rings with their Cajun white sauce. You have to get this sauce to dip your onion rings in. It is phenomenal. It has a nice horseradish bite to it. I had the wings with their hot and tangy sauce and they were everything I hoped for and more. They are so crispy, juicy , and flavorful. My daughter had the wings with no bones and in the same sauce. She also had a side salad. My husband had the jalapeno burger, but requested the smaller version because he also had the ham and cheese slider sandwiches. He can't go to TSG without ordering them. I love this restaurant, the vibes, the service, and the food!

Several people had chili. All enjoyed it. The burgers were excellent. We also had the Texas Fries (chips). The food was great. The only issue I have was that it was quite expensive. I don't mind paying for good food. Others is the group said it wasn't worth it.
