    People sleep on this place. One of the best happy hours in Grand Rapids because it's everyday they're open, including Saturdays till 6pm! The cocktails are $2 off and half off wine. Such a good deal. Plus the food is delicious and service is great. We had Matt for my birthday meal and was fantastic! He even recognized us when we came back a week later.

    Celiac Foodie; Great experience & the food was so good! We sat out back on the porch, perfect weather, Nate was our top-notch waiter with an easy going personality and cocktails are darn tasty! Celiacs, we have 5 entrees, one appetizer and a flourless brownie. The Mahi-Mahi dish is so delicious with Cajun seasoning & Garlic Grits. Best part, the atmosphere is inviting, laid back and creates a fun-vibe feeling! Check out the drinks, order some food and relax! No illness from consuming GF food. Happy Dining!

    I will seriously always give OB a 5/5 rating, even just based off of the whiskey sour ALONE. The service is fabulous, the owner is constantly working the host stand, and they present your check in a nifty contraption that her father woodworked for the restaurant. Anytime I'm feeling down, I pop up to the whiskey lined bar and order a caesar salad, mashed potatoes and one (okay two) whiskey sour. What I appreciate most about OB, is the rotating monthly specials and the classic cocktail menu that is very whiskey/bourbon forward (duh). Truly a gem to the westside, and don't forget the patio!

    Alaskan Halibut - March 2025
    Elyse A.

    We had a reservation for 14 on 8/1. Our tables were ready when we arrived and we were greeted fairly promptly. Took a little while to get our drinks ordered. I ordered an extra dirty martini w blue cheese olives. I was told no blue cheese olives, which is fine, NBD. I got a regular martini with regular olives. The second one I ordered she brought me a sidecar of olive juice because the server realized that the drink wasn't cloudy enough to be extra dirty, instead of having them remake it. Also, this one DID have blue cheese olives. For the tables we got the biscuit boards - if you look at my pictures it literally was cold hard biscuits, pre sliced meat and cheese (looked like something you'd get a a grocery store deli), pickles, pickled onions, butter and some bland jam. These were pretty disappointing, especially for almost $30. Two of us got the Alaskan Halibut and were underwhelmed. I had many bones in mine and not a ton of flavor, the wild rice blend and veggies was very sub par and not anything that I couldn't make at home with minimal ingredients. Again, disappointed for $42. The resounding comments were it was just, meh. Okay. Which is pretty disappointing considering our bill was over $150 per couple. I will say our server did a good job of keeping us all straight, as all the couples were sitting at different tables and it got to be confusing for her. She was friendly and did keep glasses full once we got the initial ones. Overall, will not run back. Prices seemed out of line, considering they were on par with higher end restaurants around town.

    We visited restaurant week and split the dinner but added an appetizer per their suggestion. It was a bustling Saturday afternoon and we enjoyed the art market going on upstairs which allowed us a peek at their event space which was very impressive and elegant. For dinner, we sat at the bar where we were promptly greeted and served up delicious drinks. I don't remember the name of mine only that it had cranberry in it and you could choose different liquors to complete it. I went with the jalapeño tequila and it was the perfect spicy and sweet tart combination. For our appetizer, we got the Cajun sweet potato fries and oh my goodness they are definitely in my top three sweet potato fries I've ever had perfectly crisp with a nice amount of Cajun seasoning to give it an extra kick. Our dinner was a tremendous success. They went with a New Orleans flair or hush puppies to start were amazing as was are entrée the étouffée I barely had a room for our lemon crème brûlée for dessert. Overall, it was a fantastic visit and we will definitely be back.

    Pecan & Peach Old Fashioned - THE BEST!

    I can't believe it's taken me this long to rate this amazing place! One Bourbon is my favorite place to get a drink in all of GR. The space is so warm and cozy, it's hard to leave once you've visited. The staff and owner are some of the kindest and most welcoming in all of West MI. I have never felt more at home and taken care of anywhere else when I've gone to get a drink or dinner. I usually come for my favorite cocktail ever, the Pecan & Peach Old Fashioned (pictured), but I also come for the amazing food. My personal favorites are the Southern Chicken Sandwich & Tennessee Chicken! Absolutely phenomenal. I can't stress enough how much you need to come by if you haven't already. It's so imperative to support local, especially when it's THIS good! Love y'all, One Bourbon fam. Can't wait to be back soon!

    the butternut squash soup was one of the best I've ever had. Chicken sandwich excellent. The grill cheese was very generous in portion and cheese. I think I don't like the combo of the cheeses that's not on them, I added some of the Nashville hot sauce to give it some extra flavor. It wasn't too loud, no blaring music or echoing sounds. We like places where we can talk. Service was great. You should be able to find something you like when you visit.

    Old Forester Single Barrel Rye
    Victoria S.

    Stopped in to grab dessert with the husband. He had the Old Forester Single Barrel Rye (it smelled delicious!), and I got the Bourbon Bread Pudding with ice cream. We sat at the bar and had great conversation about Bourbon with Mitch! Great, chill place to come to if you like Bourbon - we were told that the owner goes to a distillery every few months with some staff to try Bourbon and pick a barrel that they bring home and age with other things!

    My initial experience was frustrating. I ordered through Uber Eats and only received about half of…read moremy order. After contacting the restaurant, I was told the missing items would be remade and ready in about 20 minutes. It ultimately took closer to 45 minutes, and I had to drive to the restaurant myself to pick up food that should have arrived correctly the first time. That said, what changed my opinion was how the team handled the situation afterward. The General Manager personally came out, apologized sincerely, gave me her card, and told me to contact her directly so she could make things right. She took ownership of the mistake rather than making excuses, which I genuinely appreciated. Nobody likes dealing with a missing order, and there is definitely room for improvement in their Uber Eats process. However, mistakes happen in every business. What matters is how a company responds when things go wrong, and Stella's showed they care about their customers and reputation. Not a perfect experience, but the recovery effort and customer service earned back a lot of goodwill. We'll give them another chance.

Had to flag them down to order food, get condiments for the food, get more water. Never got any silverware or napkins. Also didn't know if you can order food online. She had her thumb up her a$$ the hole time. It was not busy at all. We stayed and it got busier, she did do a lot better once it got busier! Was my birthday and I could tell it was my birthday and no single worker ever told me happy birthday! The other shift after about 5pm ish was a lot better!!

I could see after having a few beers these might have seemed good, but sober they were not it. Double cheese burger was smaller then I anticipated. Beef was well seasoned and had a good taste. Bun was generic. My real issue was the veggie on it. My lettuce had brown/black tips. My tomato was soggy. The pickles had no crunch to it, they were tough to bite through. Fries that came with the burger were also not my favorite. Thickness between wedge fried and steak fries, rough chopped every piece was different size so how could you cook them all consistently. No crisp to the fries, fairly greasy too. I wont be back.

It's clear somethings going on with ownership maybe wanting to sell as I'm seeing reviews on here. Anyway our experience was unique; I told my wife and people at the event it was like a scene out of bar rescue! Serving drinks in red solo cups, the bar wasn't very stocked, and though we didn't look around and inspect the place it didn't give off a clean vibe because of updates that look like are needed. That being said at least around us the bar from what we could tell was maintained. Our bartender was friendly so there's that. But immediately on sitting we were informed the kitchen was closed and overheard later with other guests that it was due to staffing issues. Again overhearing it sounded like alot of things were out; even staples like Bud light. My drink was fine but my wife's cider was flat and probably an old keg... again just get the vibe they cashed out and putting minimal in... so I'd definitely recommend another spot until new ownership or some change comes... Which is too bad because even photos on here from 5 years ago look completely different (stocked bar) and I used to come here often about 10 -12 years ago for fun times and great value/experience.

    MERTENS Prime really wants to feel like an upscale steakhouse, but the reality misses the mark…read more The entire place was dark, the seating was uncomfortable and cheap, and details like missing candles and worn walls made it feel neglected rather than intentionally "historic." Service hovered in a way that felt more judgmental than welcoming. On top of that, almost everything was $2 more than the menu price (my tiny side salad listed at $7/14 came to $9), and our bill shows a "seat count" of 10 even though we were seven -- probably why the automatic 18% gratuity hit. The food itself was mid at best; ironically, the highlight was a coffee mocktail.

We ordered the Hand-Cut Filet for Two and it did not disappoint. The 20oz steak was sliced tableside and cooked perfectly--tender, flavorful, and exactly how a steak should be. We paired it with the red wine steak sauce, which took everything to the next level. For sides, we chose the garlic mashed potatoes (a must) and the glazed Brussels sprouts. Both were incredibly delicious and complemented the steak so well. I also started with an espresso martini, and wow--it was one of the best I've had in a long time. Smooth, well-balanced, and dangerously easy to drink. We were seated in one of their cozy half-circle booths, which made the evening feel intimate and comfortable. Our server was friendly, attentive, and paced the meal perfectly. Between the quality of the food, the drinks, and the overall atmosphere, this was a fantastic dining experience. I'll absolutely be back for another steak dinner--and that espresso martini!

I would absolutely recommend this to a friend for a fun night out.
