    A classic bar style pizza 6.9/10
    Steven S.

    A classic bar style pizza that is very good (not my style) with good crunch and good taste. I wasn't a fan of the crust personally, it's not your typical style pizza crust but that may be due to the "bar style" that the pizza resembles. Crunch 8:10 Taste 8/10 Flop 1/10 Crust 2/10 Undercarriage 4/10 Again the crust was really big for me, it was hard and tough and personally hurt my teeth a little bit to bite into which lowered the score a lot for me! That's the review! https://onebite.app/restaurant/skiles-tavern-holland-mi-3b55bc5b/review/aa29c145-5e6f-47ea-bdcd-0960e62e5a4d

    a plate of nachos
    Megan H.

    Yes. 5 stars. They are a long time Holland staple. The staff is always hustling and slinging pizzas and drinks as fast as they can and they have a great attitude. I don't want to call this place diver but that's the best explanation. They are no frills. They have a decent selection of beer and seltzers. Their pizza is thin crust and crunchy and several options for toppings. They have a couple things that are not pizza. Their loaded nachos have a bunch of toppings including olives and mushrooms. I suggest getting their large pizza and having leftovers. Can't go wrong.

    Can YOU find the onion and green pepper in this picture? Would you pay a buck twenty-five for those bits?

    Wow, is this place terrible. The pizza is tolerable, but way too expensive and super basic. Look at our picture and see if you can spot the itty bitty bits of onion or green pepper for which we paid 1.25 each. It's like they took a teaspoon of frozen onion and pepper mix from Meijer and tossed it on. It wasn't cute nearly all the way through, making eating it a pain. The fact that it was quite greasy and served on a cardboard circle made it impossible to cut with the utensils provided, so we had to grease up our hands to tear it apart. It was so poorly cut, it wouldn't tear along the cut lines. The service was lousy. We walked in on a Friday afternoon to an empty dining room, and no one greeted us. Eventually someone noticed us, but didn't bother to say hi. We were seated probably more than 15 minutes before someone finally came by to ask what we wanted to drink. Our waitress was audible in the next room complaining about a customer from some other time. Real charmer, she was. She brought our receipt and read the amount to us. Didn't show it to us. Was this her way of saying, "I'm done with my shift, so if I just tell you your amount, hopefully you'll pay immediately and I can leave." The food took another 15-20 minutes to come out -- it was a single pizza. The pepperoni and sausage (which tasted like store-bought breakfast sausage, the sort of flavor you've never had on a pizza) were in OK proportions, but the onion and pepper were, as noted above, pathetic. There are no napkins at the tables. They gave us teeny tiny paper plates for the food. I despise this place. It is so incredibly poorly done that I can't believe it's still in business. In fact, when we showed up -- as noted above -- the dining room was empty. On a sunny Friday summer afternoon, when Holland was quite busy, and other establishments had plenty of traffic. I think I know why. The locals know better than to come here. This is some of the worst money I've ever spent. What a terrible ending to an otherwise decent day in Holland. Do not come here. Hopefully this place dies a swift death. For all our sakes. I'm attaching a picture, but reluctantly, because somehow it makes the pizza look "pretty good". It's not.

I've been here with small groups and large groups and we have always received great service. The menu states that since everything is made from scratch it might take up to an hour to get your food but it has never taken that long when we have been here. On this visit we started with two orders of nachos, requesting no meat in one order. The nachos here are seriously my favorite that I have ever had from any restaurant. Ingredients include roasted corn, black beans,, red onion, cheese, lettuce, pico, cilantro, and lime chipotle cream, and choice of meats. We ordered ground beef on one order and the other meatless. After the nachos we ordered a Fun Guy pizza and a burrito, which was huge! We all shared the pizza and burrito. We enjoyed goat cheese cheesecake for dessert. It was wonderful. This place always has the best food of any bar I ever go to. A must try when you are in Holland.

It's next door to their sister restaurant, Lovejoy. Walking in, the space is very dimly lit with a nice bar and some cozy seating. We were directed to a couch and a couple of low chairs. The menu is organized into different "chapters," with different themes for each chapter. They also have beer, wine, spirit-free options, and a spirits list. I wanted something fun, so I chose the Don the Beachcomber, a rum-based tiki cocktail that is flamed tableside. My friend got the Obstacle No. 1, which is a bourbon drink that they smoke at your table. Very theatrical and fun! These drinks were $20+ so pretty pricey, but worth it for a fun occasion. We had a nice time just relaxing and catching up. I would say it's not a great spot for a large group, but definitely a fun date night place. They have a small food menu of offerings from the restaurant next door that sounded tasty. We had just eaten but I'd be interested in their small plates. I'm so glad I got to experience this place. It feels like you're transported to a secret speakeasy when you enter!

We arrived at 9:45pm and were seated at a cute, cozy little couch and table setup. The hostess handed us both a drink menu and a separate food menu. Looking through it, I was thrilled to see quite an expansive cocktail list broken down by "chapters," as well as several small snack options clearly marked with a gluten-free (GF) label. Unfortunately, the experience was a bit disappointing once we tried to order. Despite the online hours stating the venue closes at 11:00pm our server informed us that the kitchen was already closed. There is no indication online of what time the kitchen closes, and it was incredibly disappointing to be handed a dedicated food menu by the hostess only to be told moments later we couldn't order anything. When I asked our server for recommendations and which specific cocktails were gluten-free, she mentioned she was new and had to go check. She returned about 10 minutes later, only to give a vague answer that "most drinks were gluten-free" without offering an actual recommendation or helpful suggestion. My husband ended up ordering a non-alcoholic drink, but between the kitchen confusion and the lackluster service, I opted not to get anything at all. It's a cool venue with a lot of potential, but they should put their kitchen hours online and better train their staff on the menu.

Sure, I'd leave places and be like, "I should really do them a solid" but then I just went home and either forgot about it or started doing other stuff. Have gotten really into running since COVID and that's pretty much my favorite topic of discussion (running, not COVID). Had between 15 and 20 Miller Lites over the course of a three-night span here in late June 2026. This place is like Outback Steakhouse in the "no rules, just right" type of way. I do not believe they serve food here but did see bartenders making microwavable popcorn on request to several patrons. So this place is designed with a three-room set-up. You walk in and it's a square carpeted room that can be used for live music. Then you reach the bar area, then there are pool tables. There seemed to be an area behind the pool tables but I was too afraid to go back there. Now in terms of bar design, I would have led with the bar but that's just me and I'm sure the architects (possibly Mike Brady from "The Brady Bunch") knew what they were doing. I tend to trust professionals, apart from what our public health "experts" did to us during the forementioned COVID. This bar is cash only. That's probably in other reviews. Also, if you have AT&T cell service, good luck. There's no service so you can't look up scores and check Instagram. And now you're thinking, "what about the wifi?" C'mon bro, be serious. I love this bar. They have four different TVs in the main bar area that range from 19 to 45 inches. All are on different setups. Antenna, YouTubeTV, etc. The staff is fantastic. Patrick and Katie were my two favorites. Entertaining and straight out of bartending central casting. I was just drinking beers so I can't comment on what like a cocktail or normal-person drink tastes like. Clientele ranges from bachelorette parties to people who have seen some shit. It's a dive bar that never had to try to be a dive bar. You'll read other reviews on this place and they are super granular or longwinded or whatever. Don't pay attention to those bozos. This place is strictly vibes. Did I mention the dropped ceilings have art paintings on them? One even has a Pontiac painted on it. Hell yeah, Michigan. Haven't seen a Pontiac since cars still had cassette tape players in them. I would live there if I could. And I'm a proud Ohioan.
