If you are looking for a unique experience with good food, head to The Grill House!

If you choose the grill room you get a fantastic salad with a balsamic dressing and the best croutons! Then when it's your groups's turn, you head to the grill room to choose and cook your protein. They have various cuts of beef, tuna, shrimp, and chicken. You can also choose from fried potatoes or a baked potato bar.

It is a bit on the pricier end, but it is a neat experience and the food is pretty tasty! read more

Our party of kids & adults all found something satisfying to eat. We relaxed & had nice family dinner. We opted out of the 'grill your own' options, but ordered from both menus. We were happy with the steaks ordered. The ambiance is simple, laid back. Service was very good. Smiling & accommodating staff. A simple approach to all you can eat sides for Grill menu items was hearty & satisfying. We would return for an upscale, classic approach to a steak dinner. The excellent service made for a warm & welcoming atmosphere. read more

Don't waste your time making reservations here. My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary, so I made 7 pm reservations. We walked in before 7:00 and the girl at the desk told us they were too busy to have a table for us and sent us to the basement. We left and had a great dinner elsewhere! read more

Antique old world atmosphere is quaint, clean and well cared for. Service is friendly. You really go to this pretty expensive restaurant for the experience of cooking your own steak . Not sure how that's better than my Traeger grill at home. I guess some people do not have a grill at home. I enjoyed a large ribeye steak. They serve all their meats at the grill with all you can eat baked potatoes or baked beans. Today they also had local fresh sweet corn that was quite delicious. It was an interesting experience. I have no real need to ever go back though. read more

stopped in last day for dinner. Quickly, I'm out on the patio and greeted by our server. We ordered a Moscow mule and a beer to start. We typically get brussels sprouts for the step we wanted to try spinach dip. The little flatbread pieces with they were definitely delicious. Typically, in the past, I've ordered a micro sale and they took that off their menu this summer. Decided to try something new and order the Burrata Flatbread - that was a mistake. The chewy in the pesto tasted canned. Our server never once came back and checked on us and when he did I told him about the pizza with no response. My husband prime melt, it was delicious and I ended up eating half for my dinner! The waffle fries were even seasoned very good. I was definitely disappointed with my food and the price of the. We will be back again but maybe stick to what we know. read more

First time there. Some recommendations on cooking the food in regards to placement on the grill would be helpful for newbies. Drinks were tasty and salad was wonderful. It did take a long time to get to grill our food. Next time will order off menu and have them cook it for me. Great atmosphere. read more

As usual, food was outstanding! Service from Jenna G. was 2nd to none, spot on! The ambiance was perfect! Probably our 11th time now and everything was spot on perfect! Keep up the great work, the great food, the fair prices and the excellent service and we will be back again and again! read more

The service is terrible. When I go to a steakhouse, I expect nice table covering and happy, friendly smiles. I will never return and don't recommend. Go to Texas Roadhouse. read more

Manager was very rude and condescending the burgers were very undercooked and I found the menu to be overpriced

Really enjoyed the Scraps and Squid appetizer in the Rock Bottom bar! Some good seasonal specials as well, check those out. I have eaten in the dining room upstairs as well as the upstairs bar, both were well served. I once met Marcia at the upstairs bar and she claimed to be the owner, is that accurate? She was great to talk to and very friendly. I do want to check out the outside seating next summer. read more

Didn't know you had to grill your own meat if you do the grill or chop house menu, whatever it was. That wasn't the issue though just something to be aware of. There were very very few options on that menu so that was rough. Other than that, after you grill your meat with the same tongs everyone uses, you grab Texas toast out of a bag everyone's hands have been in and then their sides were a big vat of canned baked beans, onions that only some of them are cooked, and then baked potatoes in tin foil. The waiter was slow with drinks and he watered down my lemonade the first time for some reason because the water tastes horrible so it was pretty obvious there was a good deal of water in it. Then the refill tasted like normal Minute Maid so that was good. Enough at least. It was kind of dark in there too but it was more fun to just sit there than to eat. I was really hungry when I left and really pissed because it was super expensive on top of it. Do not recommend. 0/10 stars. read more

Dinner at the Rock Bottom. I love the atmosphere of the basement restaurant. With the stones and the cozy fireplace. On this day, 3 other tables were occupied. Seated quickly. My most favorite options are no longer in the menu (combo platter of chicken strips and fish and the seafood dip) settled with spinach and artichoke dip. Tasty. Ordered pasta bake with chicken and a chicken bacon ranch sandwich. Both tasted good and came out as expected. The salad that came with the pasta bake was a great size for a side salad. Service was slow. Waited a while for checks and to go boxes. Probably would still be waiting on that drink refill. read more

What a joy to finally be able to cook my own meal. Was a blast.the service was very good. I believe young lady n as me was McKenna. Told her I wouldn't be able to eat potato or salad with my steak soher and the house manager worked out a good deal that was satisfactory for both parties. Would definitely recommend to anybody who hasn't been this way. read more

They have so many options!!! You can do the Grill Menu or the Pub menu!!! I usually get the Prime Melt panini. I am super bummed that they no longer offer the Hubbard House Soup!!! read more

If you are looking for a little more than a dinner date, The Grill House offers an experience unlike no other. We ordered from the Grill menu, meaning we went to the counter, picked our meat, and grilled it ourselves. The grill masters offer you tips and provide you with all the seasoning and sauces. It's a lot of fun to do with a partner or friends. You have to sit outside on the courtyard. It has a very cute backyard vibe with fun gliding booths. The service is great as well. Be prepared to pay around $100 for two people should you choose the Grill menu. Worth the price for this much fun (&unlimited sides!!). read more

Servers were friendly but we had to wait forever. Food was mediocre at best. I had a salad that was truly the worst restaurant salad I have ever had. Lettuce was wet, chicken was not editable, chips were stale. Overall a poor experience. read more

3 1/2 Stars We wanted to love this place. The Grill House has been a place we've wanted to try for years and we were looking forward to the experience and food... after all they have a great sorry and they've been on the Travel Channel. First, we were a little confused by the menus- one menu for the downstairs (pub style) and another menu for the upstairs (grill your own meat). Second, the decor was a little dated which I can usually look past if the food is excellent. The food was good and our service was very good. Two of us chose from the pub menu, two from the grill your own and they fully enjoyed their meal. The story is that the grill house is haunted, built back sometime in the 1800's. We don't necessarily feel like we need to go back, but we're glad that we went. read more

Overpriced and a little pretentious... we waited over 15 minutes just to order! Service didn't get any better throughout dinner... not going back! read more

Absolutely a fun dinner experience! This was obviously the place to go for dinner in the area since it was packed. Though, we didn't have to wait long to get a table. The waitress explained our choice to either choose off of the menu, grill our own meats, or have a chef grill our meats. Since it sounded like a ton of fun and I love to cook, grilling our own was an easy choice. We were directed into the grill area and got to choose our own meats from the butcher section. There was so much that looked good but we opted for the New York Strip and the shrimp. They handed us our meats on a platter and we were directed to a huge grill area and a small section just for us to cook. There were tons of seasonings or topping like mushrooms, baked beans, grilled onions, Texas toast, butters, and spices. The grill attendant showed us the hot spots and it was up to us to cook as we saw fit. It was so much fun to do this and watch dozens of others do the same. The food was great as well as the service and comfort. I would definitely love to visit again. read more

I've been to the Grill House twice, both during the summer of 2021. I'm torn on how to review it. My first time there was a really fun experience. We went for a birthday party and there were 13 or 14 of us. We sat outside in the bar area and had a good time. The food and service was good, but they were out of a lot of items and some of my friends had to keep selecting another protein to grill. It was a new experience for me, but it was one that I enjoyed. The second time I came, the outdoor dining was closed. I believe I heard this was due to a staff shortage issue. We were seated inside in the front room against the windows and had another large party.. 10 or so of us. Everything was in stock and available, but it was SOOO HOT inside that we were all miserable. Going to the Grill Room to cook our food was like torture after sitting in the heat for so long. Ice was melting from our drinks faster than we could drink it. There was no air flow, no air conditioning, and nothing that any of us could do about it. If we weren't there celebrating another birthday, I would not have stayed. We mentioned something to our server about the heat and he shrugged it off like it wasn't a big deal. There was no way I was going to be able to eat a steak in the heat, so I opt'd for the tuna instead. I did enjoy the tuna and the fresh (and local) corn on the cob was also a really nice treat. The rest I can't remember though because I'm pretty sure I left with heat exhaustion. I'm giving three stars. 4 for the food and the overall experience and 2 because I felt like I was being forced to eat inside a sauna. read more

Food and service were both excellent! We thoroughly enjoyed it. We ordered the baked potato soup based on other reviews and it was delicious! I ordered the Ranch Tender Wrap with Buffalo Sauce and my wife ordered the Pot Roast Baked Potato. Both were excellent! Finished the night off with the Strawberry Shortcake a'la'mode. read more

I had cheese ravioli. The roll was delicious & the salad was very small but good. The ravioli was nothing different (other than being oversized) than I could get at Olive garden. My husband had the BLT salad. It was very good but not very good. Prices were pretty high for portion size For handicapped people it's not easily accessible. Was just ok nothing special. read more

So we sat in this supposedly haunted restaurant . Be sure to ask for both menus it could cost you $400 or $165 for a table of 6. The filet mignon was excellent it it was also $38 bucks for 8 ounces. It melts in your mouth . The breaded perch dinner for $16.00 was sliced too small which made it too dry. They filled the plates up with chips so it looks like a lot! Some one had the French beef dip and said it was very good! I had a small bowl of very delicious French onion soup ! The chicken wrap was very good too. Service was fair. Had to ask for water. Very nice dining area outside as well. read more

One of my favorite places to eat outside during summer time. They have both dine in or a gorgeous patio with rocking tables that help you relax and enjoy! We like to grill our own steak so we pick a good ribeye and we cook it to our like! They have many species to pick from and also you have several sides to choose from. Some days they have live music which complements the ambiance. Overall a great dining experience. read more

The Grill House is a West Michigan favorite located 2 miles south of Allegan, MI on M-40. The Good: 1. I've been coming to The Grill House for the past decade and every visit is truly an experience! 2. The service always comes with a smile, friendly conversation and complimentary popcorn when dining in The Rock Bottom. 3. At The Grill House you get the opportunity to become the Grillmaster! Meat selections include 6 different steak cuts, shrimp, tuna, chicken and kabobs. All entrees come with the house salad, potato, signature baked beans, sautéed onions, and Texas toast. 4. There are 2 menus: The Pub Menu and The Grill Menu. The Grill Menu is specifically for the Grill room while the Pub Menu is available upstairs or downstairs in The Rock Bottom. 5. The Pub Menu offers a wide variety of food options: salads, sandwiches, burgers, Mexican, Italian, and these amazing dishes called "House" Baker Bowls. 6. The Warm Artichoke & Spinach Dip is 100%! A MUST try! 7. I'm kind of an expert when it comes to Peanut Butter Pie. Therefore, The Grill House has the BEST Peanut Butter Pie in all of Allegan County!!! If you don't have any room for dessert....get your Peanut Butter Pie to go and eat it for breakfast! That's adulting at its best! 8. Do you love prime rib as much as I do? Then you must try the Fresh Cut 14oz Prime Rib Dinner! It's the most delicious prime rib - I've ever had! By far....the BEST in West Michigan. Available every Saturday starting at 12:00pm! 9. Daily Specials: Monday - Mexican, Tuesday - Italian, Wednesday - Liver & Onions or Hot Beef, Thursday - Brisket & Brew, Friday - Seafood, Saturday - Fresh Cut Prime Rib, Sunday - Pot Roast or Turkey Dinner (1st Sunday of the Month Oct-Apr) 10. During warm weather you can enjoy outdoor dining in a beautiful courtyard. Relax in a unique glider table and enjoy your dinner by the fountain. 11. Join the Lumberjack Club: You'll get a Lumberjack tee shirt if you can eat a 42oz Top Sirloin steak in 60 minutes or less. The record is: 5 minutes and 26 seconds!! Overall: The Grill House is my favorite spot for Prime Rib, Peanut Butter Pie and great conversation with friends! I highly recommend if you're in West Michigan! read more

Disappointed in the policy this restaurant maintains. We ordered 2 Sangria's that were NOT good. We were a party of 4 and not one of us was willing to drink these. In my dining experiences at other places our drinks would have been exchanged for something else with no questions asked. That was not the case here. We were charged for the sangrias we did not drink and our replacement drinks. When asked about it the manager quoted policy. Not interested in your policy. Customer satisfaction is clearly not a priority here. We will not be back. read more

Awesome atmosphere. In the summer there are gliders outside and the location is gorgeous. Best baked potato soup ever and the rolls are to die for. read more

Ordered takeout here a couple weeks ago and am just getting around to review. They were having a Mexican special and we ordered one beef and one chicken wet burrito. It came with chips, rice, and toppings. Obviously the quarantine days have changed how we order and enjoy our food. It would have been great to dine inside, but the food was nothing short of delicious. The tortillas are seasoned and give a nice well rounded flavor to the burrito. Portion sizes are more than generous, especially being a pick up order. I also ordered two bottles of wine. One was the house Pinot Noir and the other was the house Cabernet. The Pinot was my personal favorite, with a smooth full body flavor and delicate mouth feel. The Cabernet was good also, has a nice kick right on the front with a smooth finish. It's important to continue supporting our restaurants during this time, and I am happy to help! read more

Attended a Father's Day dinner I'm from Kentucky and the service was trash the waitress bought out the salad after the meal she was rushing forgetting stuff said the reason she didn't bring out the salad was because she was busy asked for a water she said I bought a extra On was told to drink that first off was wanting a ice water reservation was at 4 so the water sat on the table the whole time I do not recommend this restaurant I guess they pick and choose who to serve and when to serve. read more

Aleya was our server..19 years old. She was GREAT! They were very short staffed and I never saw a manager working the floor. We ordered the scraps as an appetizer and they were super bland. Hubbie ordered the NY strip medium well and I the Ribeye medium. His came out, rare...120 at best, mine came out super thin and like shoe leather. We sent em back. I ordered a NY strip instead of that Ribeye. His came back Medium Rare instead of Medium well, but he ate it. My NY strip came in rare, when I ordered medium. I don't send things back 3 times....so I told poor Aleya that I'd skip the entree....she must have gone back and told her manager, who sent this poor thing out to me to let me know that they wouldn't take it off the bill. What a giant jerk....to do that to a kid...come out of your office and apologize for the back of the house NOT being able to cook steak using a thermometer. This place is NOT a steak house and apparently they have lousy management. We tipped the heck outta Aleya.. to make up for the lack of management. The food sucks here and they can't cook a steak. Skip it. read more

We came bearing a gift certificate, so we were able to order and sample a great deal more food than we usually would. I've heard great things about this place and it certainly was delicious -with exception of their chicken finger and fish basket and one of the desserts. We ordered: *Hot crab dip ($11) -very healthy portion, rich and delish served with pita points and tortilla chips *Ribeye Steak -($20) served with a side salad, vegetables, baked potato, and roll. This was also a generous portion. The steak was beautifully seasoned and grilled. *Fish and chicken strip basket ($9.50) -very generic freezer to fryer chicken strips and fish. It didn't taste awful, but it was a disappointment because I'd expect an establishment of this caliber to have produced homemade. Frankly, I've had better and cheaper at the bar. *Taco pizza ($18.75) -good! We ordered it to go and it tasted like a large burrito -it was perfect for rehearing snacks/meals *Peanut butter pie ($5) -very good! Rich and sweet, covered in lots of whipped cream and peanut butter powdered sugar (I don't know how they made it but it was delish) *Death by chocolate ($8) -this guy was a bit more expensive than the PB pie and I'm not sure why. It wasn't as sweet as other "DBC" desserts and I didn't personally care for it very much (and I don't discriminate against sweets). It was a chocolate pudding and whipped cream ensemble. *Beer ($5/pint) -cool selection of micros. I ordered a hefeweizen from Frankenmuth Takeaway -good food at decent prices compared to other restaurants serving the same items. Pass on the fish/chicken baskets and death by chocolate dessert. Our waitress was fantastic -very quick and friendly. I would definitely return. read more

BUGS!!! Omg.. we found a huge hug in our food and reported to management with no apologies! This is a terrible place to go and just shrugged off when you tell the manager there was a huge Bug in your food and nothing can be done about it. Stay Away!! read more

I'm a big fan of the Grill House. A lot of variety in their menu and I'm always marveled at how everything they make regardless of how many items on the menu is pretty darn good. Really good service good atmosphere sort of an old school joint but that's what I like about it. read more

Too expensive! We opted to have the 'grill master' grill our steaks of the 10 people in our party, 3 of the steaks were well undercooked the first attempt. My wife and I with a tip paid $140! That does include 3 alcoholic beverages, but that's just too much! I can't say that I'd recommend this to anyone. The heat in the place was also miserable, the waitress didn't bother to explain how things worked with grilling, she came up to take our order, we had to ask. Typically something like that the first thing they do is explain how things work. The food was good, just very over priced. read more

I really want to like it, I really do. It has a cool story. It's famous. It's interesting. But the food and the service, they just don't add up to greatness. They are a little slow at just about everything and most of the food is good... not great... not the fantastic that you are hoping for. The owner, SUPER NICE.... I mean she really is, and she makes me want to love this place. But it seems to be more about the venue than the actually food... and the food is why I come. I will eat in a port-a-jon if the food is right, but if the venue is cool and the food is lacking....I'll pass. I'd go back, they do ok. I've been there about 10 times. But I'm never stoked about it.... it's just ok. read more

Went here for my birthday with friends on 8/8/20. They had us sit at the tiki bar area, and we got out drinks and ordered appetizer of deep fried steak bits and all of us ordered dinners. We got the appetizer and then never got our meal. We waited 2 hours and then paid for our "dinner" and left. My friend tried to talk to the so-called server there, saying this isn't right and the girl argued with her. She told my friend the host should have told you it's a wait for food. No one told us this. The hosts were young guys and they were very nice to us, unlike our server. And how can it be "a wait" for food when you got our appetizer and drinks to us promptly? She simply forgot about us and figured she could behave entitled and talk down to us. We shouldn't have had to pay for anything given the shabby treatment and lack of common courtesy. Very very rude place, wouldn't ever recommend. read more

My family is from West Michigan, but we had never heard of The Grill House until my brother spotted it on Steak Paradise on The Food Network. We couldn't believe that we hadn't heard of this place word of mouth! A steak house is a steak house, but The Grill House is different. Guests choose steaks out of a case and then grill the steaks themselves over a giant indoor grill. What a unique place! Why aren't people talking about it? It's important to note that the grill room is only open in the evenings and Sundays. You'll want to check the restaurant's website to confirm the grilling hours before you go. We made a reservation for a Sunday afternoon a couple of weeks in advance, and we called the day before to confirm. When we called to confirm, the person on the phone was so welcoming! She said they looked forward to our visit the next day. When we arrived, we were enchanted. The historic house is very cute. The staff greeted us warmly, and they were patient since a couple members of our party were late since their GPS took them to the wrong location. When our entire party arrived and when we finally went to the grill room, we chose our steaks. The only problem was that the steaks were so thick and the grill was so unfamiliar that it was difficult to know where to place the steak and for how long. The staff gave us a couple tips on the front end, but there wasn't a grill master on hand to monitor our progress. Thus, most of us had to put our steaks back on after we went to our table because they were charred on the outside and bloody on the inside. We wish we would have had a grill coach! Once cooked, the steaks were great as were the salads, grilled bread, baked potatoes, and beans. The Grill House only had one Michigan wine on hand, so we ordered two bottles. We felt they were reasonably priced ($18) considering the fact that restaurants tend to jack up the prices of wine so much. I would've liked to see more Michigan wines on the menu though. I was surprised at how low our entire tab was after ordering an appetizer, two bottles of wine, two beers, and five steak dinners. I had expected a bill twice as high! How reasonable! I will certainly tell friends and family about The Grill House in the future. Everyone in West Michigan should visit. Actually, everyone in the Midwest (and beyond) should visit. The Grill House is a destination. read more

Looking for a different eatery outside of our "regular haunts" to celebrate our anniversary, we came upon this place in our search. Husband is a big fan of prime rib and I am a big fan of trying new places to eat. The prime rib does not disappoint! It's available as their dinner special on Saturdays. 14 ounces with fixings for $25 or 8 ounces as a sandwich for $15.50. Not a bad deal at ALL! I opted for one of their specialty salads. The Mediterranean was suggested with coconut shrimp. Before we came to our main entrees, we were starving, so we ordered their Bucket of Scraps and Bar Cheese. Their BOS is what is sounds like: cut off pieces of beef battered and fried with two sides. (Gravy-like dip and blue cheese dip) It was a bit chewy and overdone. The batter was a bit too salty...but what can one expect with a name like that? The Bar Cheese was very good. Sharp cheese dip with a yeasty hot loaf to accompany it. Needless to say, we were basically full by the time our main course arrived. Our server was very sweet and the ambience was casual but very nice. read more
