I went to New Holland Brewing and it did not disappoint. I had heard great things about this spot from some locals, and it definitely lived up to the hype. Although it was busy, we were seated immediately. There's plenty of seating both inside and outside, which helped the wait. The menu is fairly short, but that wasn't an issue since there were still plenty of appealing options. I started with the Dragon's Milk Toasted Marshmallow drink. Based on the name, I expected something sweet, but it was much more bitter than anticipated. We also ordered the Hot Honey Pepperoni Pinwheels, and they were incredible. Crispy, flavorful, and easily one of the best appetizers I've had at a restaurant. I highly recommend giving them a try. For my meal, I got the Dixie Luau, their take on a Hawaiian pizza. It was excellent. The crust was the perfect thickness, and the toppings were generous. What really stood out was the pineapple, it tasted fresh and high quality compared to the canned pineapple that many places use. If the weather is nice, definitely ask to sit on the front patio. It was the perfect place to relax, enjoy the food, and do a little people-watching. The atmosphere was great, and I'd absolutely come back the next time I'm in the area. read more

Let me begin by saying I love breweries. Not even for the drinks, especially because I am currently pregnant at the moment, but when breweries offer food, the options are normally bomb. So, when my friends and I were in Saugatuck for a bachelorette party and decided to stop by New Holland Brewery, I was stoked and we were not disappointed. The vibes, service, and food were all great, and the menu has plenty of options to choose from. Even without a reservation, we were able to get a table upstairs that comfortably fit our large group, which was impressive given how busy the place was. Our waitress did an amazing job keeping up with such a big party and made sure everyone was taken care of. The menu offers a nice variety, including starters, pizzas, salads, soups, and sandwiches, all at very reasonable prices. Most entrees fall in the $15 to $20 range. I had a hard time deciding what I wanted because so many items sounded good, but I ultimately ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich for $15 with a side of cream of potato soup. Both were excellent. The chicken was huge, perfectly cooked, and well-seasoned with just the right amount of heat. The soup was creamy with a great balance of potatoes. Overall, I genuinely loved my meal and would absolutely return the next time I am in town. I also did not hear a single complaint from anyone in our group, which says a lot when dining with a large party. read more

If you're in the Holland Michigan area I would encourage you to stop by new Holland brewing for a drink. The vibe is fun and the space is actually a lot bigger than I expected. If you're there with good weather, they even have an outside beer garden that being said, I would skip the food. It was just fine and not something I would really recommend. The drinks were great though, and I love that they were offered in many different sizes. read more

Great to return, the beers are reliably good. Did a flight with a couple different dragon's milk beers and a couple seasonal beers. The S'mores dragons milk was probably my favorite whereas the Ichabod was probably the worst (just way too much pumpkin which is the opposite of most pumpkin beers). Food is great too. Elevated bar food classics in many respects. The food is great though - a diverse menu with a number of options, reasonable prices I felt. Service was great as well. Very friendly and helpful, especially as we made a variety of requests related to our daughter, high chair, etc. read more

I really love New Holland Brewing! It's in a great location near a ton of other great shops and restaurants and the space itself is large with a patio, main dining and spacious bar area. Our absolute go to order is the pepperoni pinwheels. Order a beer flight and when you've checked out, don't forget to stop in their storefront after. Great selection of canned beverages. read more

I don't think you can go wrong with a stop at New Holland Brewing. The drink selection is way more expansive than it used to be. The menu has a little something for everyone. The wait staff was very personable and friendly. One of our food orders came with something we wanted removed and they were very accommodating to fix that for us. It wasn't expected nor did we complain, but he noticed and fixed it. read more

We just left the bar, because we were really disappointed with the service, or lack there of. We love the location in South Haven and were looking forward to trying the Holland location. It was a fairly busy Sunday and were alarmed to see only one bartender serving the entire restaurant. Normally we would understand there are circumstances that arise but, we could not help notice other individuals around the service area walking around with tablets yet unwilling to assist our kind bartender who was maintaining as best they could. We ordered an appetizer which was absolutely delicious so we are only posting this to provide feedback and learn from these opportunities.. read more

We were looking for something open late to grab a bite to eat. It was almost 9, everything was closed, and we were starving. We stumbled across New Holland Brewing. When we got there, we found out the kitchen was closing in just a few minutes. The waitress said we could still order food so we were relieved. We sat out on the patio and it was beautiful out. The food was great and drinks were good too! My husband said he wished they had a larger selection of in house brews. read more

Went to the New Holland brewery. We couldn't get a table for dinner so we went to the bar and got a couple of beers in a to go cup that you can walk around a 3 block area with open container. We got a peachy haze and a crimson keep beer. The haze was very fruity with a very hopped after finish. It was very good. The crimson keep is a red ale aged in a bourbon barrel cast . This is a strong ale we'll hopped with a spicy finish but fell short on the fullness of body. The bartender was so busy I didn't catch his name. But he was hustling. After shopping and dinner at another restaurant we came back for a dragon's milk beer which is a stout beer aged in a bourbon cast . This beer hits all the marks. Rich full bodied great finish. This is my all time favorite beer on tap. There is also a to go shop that we bought a selection to bring home all in all a great night. read more

We visited this spot during our trip to Holland. It was packed, but we were able to get on the waitlist and were told to return in about an hour. When we came back, they hadn't saved a spot for us and admitted they'd forgotten to call, though they managed to seat us shortly afterward. It felt a bit unorganized. Once seated, we ordered a few appetizers and some beer on tap. The food was phenomenal and more than made up for the wait. The atmosphere here is very casual, with a great selection of food and drinks, including cocktails. We tried the queso, cheese curds, and nachos, all of which were fantastic. This seems to be one of the most popular spots in the area--worth the visit! read more

Went this weekend to celebrate our friends birthday! We had a reservation so we got sat at a high top in the bar right away! The service was very slow and had inaccurate information on specials. I got the lake life seltzer (cherry limeade) and it was delicious!!!! For dinner, I ordered a large BBQ Chicken Pizza with pineapple added. It came out very fast but was missing jalapeños (that is comes with..) It was a nice dinner to celebrate our birthday girl! read more

Ok. Been coming here since my daughter was a freshman at Hope in 2011. The once constant is the service is horrible. Doesn't matter. Sit at the bar or table, the are trained in ignoring you. It is a difficult skill, but they have perfected it here. 14 years of poor service has to be a record. Does management train this? They must. I mean, you sit down and you can count on 10 + minutes of wait time before they even acknowledge you. And this is at the bar. Came back again today for the first time in a few years and was shocked that nothing changed. I came in this afternoon and the cool dude in the bandana ignored me for at least 10 minutes. The best thing was there were only 2 people at the bar, a waitress who was cute and off from her shift and me. I actually sat closer to her since muscle memory kicked in and I saw where his attention was and the Tigers were on down there and I wanted to watch that. Yet I'd waited another 10 minutes for him to acknowledge me. He eventually served me and (the only reason I give this place 2 stars is the beer is great) my beer was outstanding. Took another 10 minutes after I finished to get a check. Yes 1 and done since I had other things to do. I decided Cash would be best since it would be forever to get him to do a cc. This was all with an empty bar. But wait! It only gets better. Like an idiot, I left Our Brewery and came here since I really love the Dragon Milk. So stupid! Sat down at a semi empty bar. I was ignored, since that is policy here for at least 10+ minutes. Don't worry, I loved watching whatever stupid chef program was on...no seriously love that crap...NOT. Finally, after the bartender (female now) completely ignored me, I just said "Hey, I want a Dragon's Milk. She stopped and asked what size. I told here and was temporarily happy. 10 oz. Goes down quickly and 15 minutes later I wanted something else. Once again the incredible waiting game. Back and forth she walked to other customers and ignored me (and I am a big tipper for big service). Finally I had to just shout out my order. She informed me it was last call in 30 minutes, so I said, "just 1." Got my beer. Now it is 30 minutes later and all I want to do is pay. Please dear Lord, remind me of this the next time I am in Holland! Only buy their beer in the store. The frustration is not worth it. I am a really nice person and not a dick, but this just sets me off. Our from now on. I warned you. YMMV. read more

OMG this place was so good we went twice in one weekend. On the way too and on our way back from Mackinac. What we ordered: -soft pretzels with beer cheese: absolutely amazing!!! I am not usually a huge fan of soft pretzels but this one blew my mind, especially paired with the beer cheese. -chicken sandwich: we both got this one because of how tasty it was. Perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned (dragon), and perfectly dressed. Again, I am not a big chicken sandwich girl but this one had just the right crunch yet also melted in your mouth. No gross textures that typically scare me away. -Rueben: I got this first and loved it. I always like Ruebens but am typically skeptical because I am picky with my corned beef. This Rueben was cooked great and had thin slices, which is my preference. I asked for extra thousand island sauce in the side for dipping. -pulled pork sandwich: partner got this one and he loved it as well. -fries: great!! You'd be surprised that people can make bad fries, but it is possible. Here, they make really good fries. -beer: partner said it was just okay. I cannot remember what he got. Service was wonderful. I did ask someone for the extra sauce who seemed to forget but when I finally saw our waitress she got it for me. When they get busy the service comes around less often, but that's to be expected. I liked that there were always so many people there, there was outdoor seating in the front and a beautiful beer garden in the back. The inside walls had giant windows that opened up to the outside which was also lovely. So, even if you end up inside, you can still get a taste of the outdoors. read more

We had a reservation on Mother's Day at 1 and the sat us right when we walked in at 12:55. The staff was fantastic, they were patient despite the crowd and were attentive. The space was clean and comfortable and the patio was lovey. The pickle pizza was amazing. I was shocked too, but try it. The tomato bisque was nice and light, very tomato/herb soups feeling. The loaded baked potato soup was also amazing - thinner broth with chunks of potatoes. The kids chicken fingers were excellent and turkey club sandwich was also good. Though next time we would just get two pizzas! Looking forward to coming back here next time we are in town. read more

We stopped here after visiting Windmill Island for the Tulip Festival. It's a short drive over and we luckily found street parking available. It's great weather so Holland is packed with families enjoying the tulips and all that downtown has to offer. This restaurant has a laid back vibe and the staff are all very accommodating. We had reservations for 12:15 but arrived at 11:20 because we got into town so early to see the tulips. The host came through the line waiting to go in asking if anyone had reservations. I said we did but that we were way early. He still pulled us out of line and got us seated. I appreciated that - we were pretty hungry! Our server, Kayla, was excellent - she was really personable and very helpful with our decision-making. I appreciated her insights because we loved our meals. We had the Dragon's Share Cherry Selzter and the Dragons Milk Old Fashioned for drinks. The seltzer was excellent - you can really taste the cherry flavor but it wasn't sweet. Very easy going down. The Old Fashioned is made with their signature syrup, which has notes of chocolate and coffee. It was not bitter at all - very smooth. We ordered the hot pretzels that came with an onion cheese and hot mustard. I don't care for spicy mustard but the cheese was good. We both had the Apple Walnut Salad and it is served with the dressing on the side. I liked that - we all have different ideas of the "right" amount of dressing so this way, we controlled our own amount. This salad was outstanding...the lettuce was mostly made up of butter lettuce, which is so rare to come by in Michigan restaurants (it's everywhere in California, I've noticed). There were apples, dried cherries, blue cheese along with the walnuts...such a great taste! If you enjoy craft brews you absolutely must stop by and try their Dragons Milk brand products...S'mores and Stroop Waffle are two of my husband's favorites. They also have a store so you can pick up some to go! read more

I visited New Holland Brewpub last Sunday night and I have a big fan of their Dragon's Milk as I am a huge stout guy. The brewpub has a great location in downtown Holland. The vibe is contemporary and it's is a very nice brewery with lots of seating inside with TVs at the bar. They also have an outdoor beer garden, but it wasn't open as it's in the middle of winter. I arrived around 6:30pm and they had trivia going on. They had a ton of food options with a big menu. Also, I didn't realize that they made their own liquor as well so they had quite a cocktail menu. I ordered a 5oz of Dragon's Milk and Dragon's Milk Crimson Keep each. Both beers were awesome and they were $3.50/each. I ordered the Pepperoni Pinwheels, which were awesome, and I had to do a pizza review so I ordered a medium margherita pizza. The pinwheels were unique and the dough was extremely fresh. There was a lot of pepperoni and melted mozzarella sprinkled with parmesan. The sauces were very good as well! However, the pizza was a different story. The mozzarella cheese was solid and probably the best part as it had decent flavor. The pizza was overly dry as it probably sat under the lamp too long. You can even see that the basil was somewhat black/burnt. The crust was pretty flavorless due to it being overcooked slightly. I did not like the cherry tomatoes as they are always mushy when cooked on a pizza. Overall, the pizza was not good and it was a bad night for the pizza-makers. Crust: 3 Cheese: 5 Sauce: 3 Toppings: 3 Overall: 3.5 Prices were extremely good to me as the cost of living in Holland is much lower than Chicago. $15/medium pizza, $14/app, and $7/pints. The bartenders were friendly and the food came out fast. Overall, I am a fan of New Holland Brewery as they had solid food, great beer, and a great vibe. The pizza could have been way better, but that's ok and I am sure their other dishes are better as the Pepperoni Pinwheels were great! read more

One of my all-time favorite restaurants downtown Holland. I order their takeout quite frequently, and it's always delicious, hot, and the text updates make it so easy to know when my food is done and to head over. I visited recently with a friend and they accommodated us (we didn't want to sit at a high top) and seated us in a separate section. The food was delicious and came out quickly allowing us to enjoy our lunch and time socializing without overrunning my break. I highly recommend the pizza pinwheels. They're absolutely my favorite, and I usually go for regular ranch, though I've heard from many who enjoy spicy food that their chipolte ranch is great as well. The restaurant is usually on the louder side, even when they're not busy, but it doesn't really feel "too loud," but rather casual and inviting. During the summer, I recommend sitting outside if their patio is open. It's lovely read more

Stopped in with 2 brothers, one of which lives in GR, and was surprised by the size and height of the ceilings! Very impressive! There was a good crowd, but we sat right away. Looking at the beer menu, couldn't decide, so I ordered a flight of 4 different beers and the Nitro Irish Stout was my favorite. There was a nice selection of food and we started out with the spinach/artichoke dip and had a bbq pork sandwich that was very good. Good beer, good food made for the perfect afternoon! read more

The atmosphere was great, your average bar & eatery with a more rustic approach. I ordered the double cheeseburger with a side of Great Lakes Chip Co. Kettle Chips that were made in Traverse City! The burger was good, very juicy and a good two slabs of meat, the cheese was also perfectly melted on top! The service was very fast I got my drink within 3 minutes of sitting down and then my food about 20 minutes after that, I was also in a party of 6 and they got their food at the same time! The only complaint was that the waitress was a bit rude but it isn't an easy job, so I can't really blame her too much. read more

Good music, heated patio, warm food and good beer, what more could you ask for?! Located in the adorable downtown shopping area, the New Holland Brewery is just what we hoped for on a Saturday in October. The heated, covered Beergarden was a delightful experience on a cool fall evening. We started with beer, followed by some appetizers. The Ichabod is one if Community Tap beers where they make a donation ti a local Jon-profit when we one is ordered. It was a light, Pumpkin Ale, very drinkable and went well with the Pretzels and Beer cheese. Next we ordered the Elote Corn dip which was good but wished it had a little more cilantro, lime or even crab to give it a little something more. Katie was great, took good care of us and we will definitely visit again! read more

I love mostly all of new Hollands beers and wanted to enjoy them with food at their brewery and restaurant. They were out of their limited edition 25th anniversary but I was able to have a few other dragon's milk beers including a triple mash 5 ounce pour. The beers were fantastic as expected. My entree was a medium spiced chicken sandwich that was average along with the warm fries and distracted service by the young waiter. Large split dining areas with a covered patio. Numerous bathrooms. Somewhat loud. Clean. I would definitely return for the beer and might try something else on the menu. read more

Time to update this review, six years later! New Holland is always a must for me when I'm visiting Holland - I'm not a big beer drinker but I LOVE their pickle pizza, minus the bacon; it has melted cheese curds on it and is super delicious. They do take reservations and I was able to make a reservation for six of us (four adults, two babies) a few weeks in advance. Waitservice is always fast and friendly here too, and don't forget to check out the Sidecar next door for more beer and also other things. read more
