We've been looking forward trying the Stable Inn for a while now and we were pleasantly surprised with our visit. We stopped in on a Friday evening and had about a 45 minute wait. The atmosphere is casual, with an up north vibe. Our server was very friendly and had our salad and drinks to us in short order. I ordered the Steak and Lobster special. My steak was cooked to medium and was worth the price. My wife had the whitefish and my MIL had the perch dinner, they both enjoyed their meals as well. They have some nice lunch specials, we look forward to visiting again soon! read more

The food is amazing! Starting with the salad which is always fresh and cold, the dressing are often homemade and delicious. The entrees are outstanding, I had the Prime Rib and my wife had the Perch, my Prime Rib was cooked just the way I like it with ample au jus and horseradish sauce, the mashed potatoes and bread were awesome, the Perch was lightly breaded and cooked perfectly! We Love the service too! Don't hesitate, just Go! read more

Great food and customer service. Prices are good for middle class American. Food was served quickly and waitress followed up with beverages and any other needs read more

My wife and I got the all you can eat whitefish. The pieces were on the tiny side for whitefish and the fried was rather dry. The first order came with three pieces. They brought out two pieces for a refill and these pieces once again are small. My picture shows the pieces on a saucer not a regular plate, lol. My third refill took 35 minutes. The server seemed pleasant but was not at our table as much as needed. We left because the kids were sick of waiting. My kids wet burrito was okay... the shrimp Alfredo was okay. All in all a 2.5 stars. read more

The Stable Inn - My whitefish refill on a saucer that took 35 minutes to get. - American Near Me - Grand Haven, Michigan

DATE & TIME OF VISIT: June 22, 2024 @ 2:00pm. They were not busy (just a handful of other tables). AMBIANCE & CLEANLINESS: We loved the rustic cabin look & feel, much nicer than other "bars" because it didn't feel like a bar. We seated ourselves (per the sign that told us to ), we sat over on the bar side that only had two other tables of patrons. Table was clean, bathrooms were clean and restaurant in general appeared clean. HOSTESS & SERVER: The hostess, well there was none because it was currently seat yourself . Our server was very nice, she answered any questions we had and if she was unsure of an answer she went and asked! She was attentive and just a pleasure! FOOD: This is what we ordered.... Beer Battered Asparagus -- Taste, Oh My Gosh! These were SO delicious! We loved the thin battering of these (hate when fried food is so heavily battered!). Size, decent amount of spears. Price $12.00 (normally I would have said overpriced for the portion size BUT these were homemade and delicious so they were worth the price!). We will definitely get them again when they have them!!! French Dip Sandwich -- Taste, per my husband "this is really really good, you have to try a bite". The aus jus was delicious and not overly salty like most of them. Size, normal hoagie roll size (about maybe 8"). Price $13.99 and it DOES come with a side (your choice of French fries, American fries, cup of soup or salad)! Chicken Fingers Dinner -- Taste, very yummy, was not overly battered and chicken was moist not dry. Your choice of dipping sauce (he did honey mustard and it was delicious!). Size, 4 pieces of chicken tenders. Price $14.49 and it comes with your choice of potato (choice of French fries or American fries), homemade bread (garlic bread slice or a roll) and cup of soup or salad. Chicken Monterey Dinner -- Taste, very yummy, was grilled perfectly and chicken was moist not dry. Size, 2 pieces of chicken smothered in cheese & sautéed mushrooms. Price $17.49 and it comes with your choice of potato or seasonal vegetable (potato choice of French fries or American fries), homemade bread (garlic bread slice or a roll) and cup of soup or salad (garden or Cesar) Olive Burger -- Taste, was very good. The burger was moist and not overly cooked. Size, normal burger size. Price $13.49 and it DOES come with a side (your choice of French fries, American fries, cup of soup, coleslaw or potato salad)! OVERALL THOUGHTS: All that cost us $76 (without the tip). Not bad for a family of four including an appetizer (we always drink water). The environment was fun and pleasant, staff were friendly and attentive, location good, food EXCELLENT!! WOULD I RETURN? That's a BIG yes!!!! (And we will be frequently visiting!) read more

Nothing fancy, but I love this place but would recommend sitting in the bar area. Dining room is kind of bright.

First time there for the Wednesday shrimp special. There were 4 couples and we all enjoyed the different ways the shrimp were offered. Salads were good along with my choice of beef/noodle soup. The size of the shrimp was very good also. Would definitely try again. read more

My husband wanted to take me out and try some place new so we came here. It was a bit of a wait but worth it. The cabin like decor was very cozy and endearing. We had a very nice waitress where we ordered a glass of red wine, mozzarella sticks, a full slab of ribs, potato salad, green beans, ribeye steak, and mashed potatoes. Everything was pretty flavorful and delicious. We were quite stuffed. We will definitely be back and recommend to others m. read more

The place was busy so they must be doing something right! I called in my order and from the time it was picked up and I received it was 12 minutes and everything was cold so it was ready way before I asked it to be ready which was disappointing. No one's fault just a process management issue. The Monterey chicken was dry. The carrot cake was delicious. The patty melt was OK would've been better if it was hot. read more

Our friends have been wanting to check out The Stable Inn for quite some time and we were all able to make it tonight. Thursday nights are all you can eat prime rib, perch, and frog legs. Everyone in our party ordered that and I started with prime rib. This prime rib was meaty, flavorful, and came out hot. I also got the Stable Punch to drink and that was delicious and refreshing. For my prime rib I used their horseradish sauce. The sauce brought the prime rib to the next level. So so good! You get two sides and I chose the house salad and the garlic butter mashed potatoes. Those mashed potatoes were so flavorful and buttery and garlicky. I loved them! After my first round of prime rib I got the perch next. The perch comes out hot and freshly fried. It was crispy and so good. The tartar sauce was really good as well. It had little pickle chunks in it and I thought it was a nice touch. I got another slab of prime rib after that and had to tap out. Throughout our meal, our server was wonderful. Refills, bringing out more food and sauces, etc. She really worked hard, all while having a smile on her face. The Stable Inn doesn't look like much from the outside, but the inside is super cozy. There's a fireplace burning and there's wood beams. It was country western, but not cheesy. We will definitely be back after this great experience. read more

Nice variety of food on the menu. Food is always good and consistent Wait staff is semi friendly.

This being from Grand Haven was alway my favorite location to go eat. The salad bar and wings were my favorite. I still love the Prime rib and many other items, but not having the salad bar is taking away from the experience and the greatness. Bring it back! Lol that's the only reason I'm not giving a 5/5 everything else is perfect read more

Friendly waitress and good food. Antique and western decor was interesting. Always good eats here

One of the best places to eat and not too far from home! Service is always great too.

If 0 stars were an option I would give 0. We went in after hiking all day in Grand Haven. Not sure how the food was. We didn't even wait for our drink order. We walked in and it was a cute little place. There were 2 signs. Wait to be seated and please seat yourself. I asked a dark haired middle aged female server if we seated ourselves or if we should wait. She didn't answer the question and stated that side of the restaurant was closed and walked off. So we walked to a booth on the other side and sat down. After noticing no menus on the table we grabbed a few from the table next to us. And the same server screamed from across the restaurant and said I will bring you menus. Well the damage was already done so we proceeded to look at the menu. She then walked over and slammed new menus down on the table we removed the menus from and sighed at us. She walked over told us the specials and that most of them were unavailable until 4pm. It was 3:45pm. She proceeded to ask what we wanted to drink being very rude and short with us. We told her our drink request and she walked off yelling to the bartender for waters and lemonade. We decided not to stay. It was a very nice little place inside. The server was awful. So rude that we were not about to deal with that kind of service. I was a server for several years and I know a smile and nice tone is not that hard. Definitely do not recommend! read more

Wow great local place , always busy and jam packed with comfort food . On a recent Thursday we went with boat neighbors as it was raining so we did t mind a few minute drive south of Grand Haven . All the basics in the bar with a good pour if you know what I mean ... The appetizer special was fried asparagus... lightly battered and crispy. The stable hand batters all their veggies including onion rings sold by the foot . We enjoyed prime rib with it cooked perfectly and they offer three sizes of cut. Also Thursday is the all you can eat prime rib, spareribs, perch and frog leg special w salad and a side . Go hungry , great burgers and lots of history . We will be back !! read more

Great food , great staff , great setting ! Highly recommend! On holidays make reservation on those special days other wise you will not get in to enjoy the food and staff! read more

We enjoy the Stable. We usually go for their special on Fish and Chips. I miss the salad bar they used to have. Service is good, staff is friendly. read more

The atmosphere here very much is going for a cowboy theme, but without shoving it down your throat. I ordered the Bourbon Glazed Twin Pork Chops. They were good, but lacked that oomph moment were your like wow that's good, I can't wait to get that again. The meal comes with an all you can eat Salad and Soup Bar, a potato dish or veggie, and bread. The salad was very good, however the soup was lame! It needed pepper to spruce up. I got a baked potato which was good. The bread was a piece of garlic bread. Really? How about fresh loaf or at least fresh rolls. The service was very good and very friendly. Overall I'm giving a solid 4 stars. Would I return? Hmmm, yes. Not all the time, but occasionally. read more

Food is basic good. Just what I like in a local restaurant. I would recommend it for anyone who loves a great meal at a reasonable price. Love the rustic feel. Service second to none. read more

Good food and good service at a reasonable price. Nice atmosphere too. Highly recommend for a weekday dinner.

One Prime rib & lobster tail. One steak & lobster tail. All you can eat soup and salad bar. Veggie and potato choice. 2 awesome local all day brown beers. Shared one humongous carrot cake and still took Some home! We had patti for a waitress and she was phenomenal!!!! She had great suggestions and was so very present! Top notch. We really liked this place and will come back next time we come to town. read more

Not a bad place at all. On busy evenings you will most likely wait for a table, most I've ever waited is about 30 minutes. They have a salad bar, rather small, but all the necessities. I mean it's just a side course anyway. Wait service was adequate, prices were within reason and the food was enjoyable. I could go on, but I think you get the idea. read more

Barb was a lovely server. This place is so good that I almost don't want to recommend it. Put it this way, tried it for the first time last night and loved it so much I'm going back less than 24 hours later. Food was phenomenal. Western saloon-type atmosphere. Wings are to die for, steak was incredible. Give it a try! read more

I strongly recommend this place to anyone. I just visited there today for the first time while on vacation. If you are looking for a great place to sit down & eat & have a couple drinks, this is the place for you. The service and waitstaff were very friendly & courteous. The food portion size is plentiful at a very reasonable price. The food delivery was prompt. There is a good amount of variety on the menu from Steak, pasta, salad bar, to fish. Also...a wide variety of wine, beer, and mixed drinks. I recommend the Cherry Chuckle craft . Very tasty. The atmosphere is very peaceful and country like with a large moose on the wall and a stuffed bear to great you at the door. I can't say enough good things about this place. I give it 5 stars all the way. read more

Friday and Saturdays they have surf and turf dinner specials starting at 4pm. It's busy so get there early and be prepared to wait for a table but it's worth it. read more

Great food and service. The ambiance is not fancy and is a bar restaurant. Is very busy because many local folks love eating there.

The first time we came here, the server said "Everything on our menu is good" and we giggled thinking she was kidding... nope!!! This place is amazing! From service, to full servings, this is one of our favorite spots. Highly recommend the wings and pasta! read more

We have only been to The Stable Inn once, but I can tell you that we will be back very soon! We were on our way from Grand Haven to Holland and happened upon this restaurant on our journey and stopped for an early dinner. We were seated right away and almost immediately were greeted with our drink orders taken. The menu was expansive with so many options. The dinner I chose came with a side and a piece of yummy buttered bread. As the night went on, it became very, very busy so we were glad we happened to arrive pretty early in the evening. Don't expect a fancy, modern vibe, rather a warm and welcoming friendly place. Can't wait to return to try some more of the menu. read more

Tasty food and great atmosphere. So yes, I would eat there again. Prices are moderate.

Went tonight and took some friends, 3 of the food were good, I ordered the Ribeye sorry to say my steak had gristle in center and could hardly cut, did not want to complain so just suffered thru, waitress was prompt and courteou. First bad meal out of 4 times read more

Fast, friendly and excellent food at a very reasonable price. I had the steak and lobster and my wife had the prime rib. Both were perfectly cooked and delicious! The atmosphere is rustic and comfortable. The server was vey attentive and always smiling :-) This was our first time here but we will definitely be back next time we are in town! read more

Always pleased with service and food. Love the weekly specials, especially perch & shrimp.

What a great place! We had all you can eat shrimp and it was delicious. Most places would just fry up tiny shrimp...not here. You had your choice of hot or cold peel n eat, beer battered, coconut or fried. Huge shrimp. Our server was so nice and friendly. We will be back. read more

My wife and I decided to give this place a try for lunch and were not disappointed. Food was great (large portions . . . took some home in a box for later). Place was very busy but tables were far enough apart to feel comfortable (Covid). Onion rings were out of this world. Highly recommend and will absolutely go back. read more
