    Jalapeño cheese balls

    Brad was the bartender and took good care of me. Happy hour is $.50 off of any drink you order. The food everything fried was perfectly cooked and delicious. The garlic toast was white bread and pub cheese on the side it surprised me how tasty it was. The salad bar did not have many choices. I didn't see any TV and no music was playing . They do have a pool table and keno. Overall it's a nice local place! Give it a try.

    Salad bar was small, but had all the fixin's.
 But had to be replenished often.
 Not a good thing.

    This place is a Muskegon institution. Not that, that is a good thing. It's just been around for a while. They have a room of taxidermy animals I heard the founder was a big game hunter. Not that I care....I'm here to eat. They have a big crowd on Friday night for their perch fish fry. So there are plenty of servers....don't know if that is the case on other nights. I ordered the perch dinner.....6 pieces plus baked potato. Tater was good. I've been here before....it was great. Not so much this time. Fish was bigger, but not tasty. Tarter sauce was not tangy....but sweet. Our server was great, but that won't make me return.

    Seafood combo

    When I walked in, I was not greeted, that alone should've told me to walk out of the restaurant. I didn't mind paying $19 for a plate of fish but for the fish to be purely tasteless I just couldn't stomach it. Literally, I did not even finish my food I do not recommend this to anyone but locals who do not know anything better to eat than this.

    2 eggs, toast, hash. I would skip the hash...

    Sadly small and lackluster bar. Kids there after 9 with odd clientele. Remnant of an older, less glamorous era. For older ppl.

    This is a nice mom and pop owned landmark. The Perch is known far and wide! Facilities for wedding receptions or meetings available too.

    I am always super impressed by my meal at The Station Grill. My family heads there when we are…read morecraving burgers or wings. Last night it was wings that we were craving. 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!

    Everything we had here was excellent. The people were friendly and efficient…read more We started with the artichoke dip. It was different than what I was expected but it was very good. 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.

She is, quite simply, the best! ​Breanna went above and beyond in every way. She was incredibly attentive, keeping our drinks timed perfectly and ensuring our fries were always topped off. She was also a huge help with the tabletop technology, personally helping us with our gift card and guiding us through the ordering process so it was completely stress-free. ​Beyond the great service, she was a lovely person to talk to--impressive, personable, and professional. People like Breanna are the reason we come back. She truly represents the best of Red Robin's hospitality!"

    I don't usually rave about chain restaurants, but this was a great experience. I was on a business…read moretrip and just had a long day, so I stopped at the first place I saw near my hotel. When I got in the hostess welcomed me and asked if I wanted to sit at the bar, which I did. The bartender was awesome, even though I wasn't drinking. I am currently on a strict keto diet, so I told him I was looking for protein. He suggested the monster burger served protein style in a lettuce wrap. This was it for me. The burger was probably the best I have had at Red Robin. That man deserves a raise. This was an awesome experience and made me miss home a little less. If you are in town, go sit at the bar and have a great night.
