I was planning an afternoon in Holland and I found this spot on Yelp. I love grilled cheese (and…read moreactually call them toastie cheese sandwiches) so I was hoping I could snag a quick lunch. I lucked out with a 15 minute parking spot across the street and ran in. The front of the space has a cheese counter and lots of products for sale to create the cheeseboard of your dreams. I saw cutting boards, crackers and accoutrements, cookbooks, and more. I was on a mission, though, so I headed towards the back and through what looked to be a wine tasting area. Then I entered the Grilled Cheese Bistro, with its cute seating area and friendly employee. The menu is pretty simple -- choose your toastie (they have a handful of curated options), pick half or full sandwich, choose your bread, choose your side (chips, pickle, or bread), and then add a cup or a bowl of soup. All the options sounded delicious but I'm a savory person, always, so i got the Mama Mia, which has two kinds of cheese, pesto, and tomato. I went with the recommended Italian bread, and I added a cup of the tomato bisque, which is self-serve. They also had chicken pot pie and minestrone. My sandwich was done quickly and looked delicious -- super cheesy and perfectly toasted (aka it didn't destroy the roof of my mouth). The pesto and tomato were great additions, and dunking it in the soup was so fun and tasty. I loved this lunch so much and I wish they would open a location in Grand Rapids! I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town.

All of the meat is shrink-wrapped and a lot of it is frozen. I bought some twice-baked potatoes, two huge stuffed chicken breasts (One mushroom and one broccoli cheddar), and a package of lemon-marinated chicken thighs for $40! The only one that I've eaten so far is the mushroom-stuffed chicken breast and it was really delicious. I'm looking forward to trying everything else in my freezer. They were super helpful about answering questions and giving cooking instructions. Since so much of their food is prepared it's a great place for people who don't cook.

I have people who don't even like turkey love my turkey. I have purchased from Bob's Butcher block. In looking at the reviews, I have never seen anyone handle meat and money without putting on and taking off gloves. They are very conscious about that. As far as meat being tough, that is a chef problem, not a cut of beef problem. If you are having problems with tough meat, it is most likely due to not understanding how different cuts of meat need to be prepared. Some need to be slow roasted, some need to be seared and left medium to medium rare. The staff are knowledgeable on how to cook the meat. There are also 1 million videos out there on YouTube on how to cook/slow cook/fry/roast/grill your meat.

I don't buy meat enough to vouch for quality but I ate some of my steak tonight and it was sooo good! I feel like grocery stores are usually hit or miss but I have high hopes for this place. I'll definitely be back. :)

Incredibly delicious, locally sourced preserves, honey and syrup!…read more Located in the Downtown Market, this place is a total gem. Crafting their product from the agriculturally-abundant Southwestern Michigan, they source all of their products within a 50-mile radius... and the fruits of their labor are perfect proof of the quality produce we have in our tiny corner of the world! I've been greeted by a very friendly young gentleman behind the counter each time I've approached, and they have samples of most of their preserves out as well. Do stop by and try some. Your taste buds will be stoked! As a pear lover, their Pear & Cardamom is my favorite. The wildflower honey is also fantastic!
