I haven't reviewed George's Smoke Shop for several years, so this is long overdue…read more This traditional cigar and pipe shop (with smoking lounge) has been serving the Holland, Michigan area for 40 years as of 2026, and each "George" has brought his own unique style to this wonderful shop in America's best downtown. From the original owner, George Howe, to his brother Michael Howe, to Ren Mireles, Adam Lee and Erik Alberg, this cozy (440 sq. ft.) shop has evolved and matured. Current owner Erik Alberg, aka"George the 5th", had been a patron for more than 30-years before purchasing the shop late in 2025, continuing the tradition. I've done business with them all. The cigar selection (120+ facings) is carefully curated to feature some of the best cigars available. As George himself was famous for saying "They're All Good!" New sticks are brought in regularly and old favorites also are stocked. New for 2026, Jorge's Cigars are back in the shop! Cuban American Jorge Casimiro started rolling cigars at George's Smoke Shop more than a decade ago and since has become a well-respected cigar manufacturer. George's Smoke Shop also features a wide selection of custom pipe tobaccos including the venerable "George's Blend", as well as pipes and pipe smoking accoutrement. Cigar lighters, cutters, and other items also are available. The cigar lounge at the rear features a half-dozen comfy chairs, two TV screens, and plenty of lighters and cutters. This is my go-to place for sports! One thing that sets George's apart from a lot of shops is that all the regulars, whether they're 21 or 81 years old, are friendly and welcoming. So, if you're looking for a second home...this just may be your place. (I know it's mine!) And if you're "just visiting" Holland, check it out while you're there. There's a reason downtown Holland is THE BEST downtown in America...and George's Smoke Shop is one very important element in that well-earned title. PS: No vape, no e-cigs, no cannabis. Just cigars and pipe tobacco!

We discovered this restaurant on Yelp and loved the vibe, Asian menu and cocktail program, so on…read moreour visit to Saugatuck I popped by ahead of dinner in an attempt of securing a reservation for our large party. No one was there but the owner picked up the phone and was able to arrange a great table for us right in the bar area! Walking in I was immersed in the moody and dark space, brightened by pops of red and other Asian accents. The bar is beautiful and the bartender was hard at work cranking out cocktails. Lindsay was our server, and she was an absolute breath of fresh air, clearly passionate about her role in providing the guest experience, and frankly, she made all the difference in our experience. It all started when she saw our boys sitting at the low two top and offered them a private dining experience right next to us! They downed so much sushi, I nearly had to take out a second mortgage, but I'd happily pay it over and over to see the looks on their faces at 5 and 8 again! To say that a core memory was made that night is a massive understatement, as we have not stopped hearing about this since we returned and my son even made my mother walk him back to the restaurant the next day just to see if he could say hi! She took incredible care of the grown ups too. Helped with menu selections, addressed all requests swiftly and handled any issues with actual regard for the feedback being provided, which is becoming more and more rare in today's industry. On the food, we ordered most the apps including wings, green beans, cucumbers, shrimp, and spring rolls, and then we added the crab noodles, yellow curry and a few sushi rolls. The cucumbers and green beans stole the show, with the shrimp and crab noodles not too far behind. The sushi was decent, but I found the rice a bit gummy and didn't really get a sense of each element within them. The wings and curry were a bit bland for my liking but the wings benefitted by the additional sauce with them. The curry needed a bit more heat, fish sauce, and maybe a hit of vinegar. As someone who LOVES Asian food, this satisfied the itch after mainly eating American food for so many days, but I'd realistically rate it a 3.5 stars, especially considering the price and value. I'd happily return on my next visit to Saugatuck and suggest it to friends too. Keep crushing the service game!

The salad was good - I loved the dressing. It tasted a little salty but I'd get it again. The pizza was also nice - super thin and crusty. The dough is just simple and straightforward. Toppings were standard too - a classic pizza. Overall great restaurant! One of the best in downtown.

We had finished up our dune ride and were in need of lunch and found this spot on Yelp. Nate and I…read morewere able to get seats at the bar but it sounded like there was a bit of a wait for the patio. This place seems to be known for their pizza, but we had just eaten pizza the day before, so we opted for a side of fries, a side Caesar salad, and an order of the wings. Well, we ended up getting full portions of the side items, which was a bit of a bummer as we weren't super hungry plus it was more expensive. We'd just be more specific next time. The food was good, but we really should have ordered pizza. The Caesar salad was fresh and flavorful, but had a LOT of anchovies. I personally really like anchovies, but this was a bit much. The wings were huge and kind of gamey, and the skin was not crispy so they were not my favorite to eat. The fries were tasty but nothing special. I will give 5 stars for the beer! I had the lake noir, which was a blueberry/blackberry beer and the other fruit beer which was watermelon flavored. They were both fruity and refreshing and I really enjoyed them. I would come back for the pizza, which seemed a bit pricey but looked delicious.

Have you ever had a place that you didn't want to review because you don't want other people to…read moreknow about it? This is that kind of place. It's a dive bar in a very busy City and it is still a local watering spot. I can't say the food is the greatest but they do have keno, and they do have ice cold beer and they're very heavy-handed on their cocktails. Don't expect anything fancy, but always expect good conversation. The bartenders are always friendly every time my friend and I have been there and I will continue to go every time I am on the west side of the state.

Truly one of the best places we ate while in town. How good? We went three times. The pizza is out of this world. They know what they're doing. The beer? Also a 10/10. So many options that really set them apart. Each time we went the folks behind the bar and out at tables were kind and really on it. Finally, the outside area is a gem. Great views and baseball vibes.

Great little patio / outside seating in the heart of downtown…read more Was seated promptly and we were off to a good start. Waiter came back and took our beer order and then disappeared. He then proceeded to take everyone else's food order, even though they sat after us, prior to come back to take ours. We finally ordered and they pizza came out. Couple points in the pizza, it was good mind you but each topping is $2.50. If I get bacon on a pizza I'm expecting more than a sparse sprinkling of bacon bits on my pizza for that amount. If you order ham on you pizza they provide a good amount but the pieces of game are pretty large and tend to come off as part of the initial bite. They have a food runner that is delivering the pizzas so we didn't interact with the waiter again, no check in, no asking if we wanted another round of drinks. Multiple attempts to flag him down went ignored, I finally grabbed my own to go box for the left overs. I was finally able to get his attention after he made five trips to fill up a water cooler so that we could pay. Food & Drinks great. Service was dreadful.

I feel like after a busy beach day in the sun, working up an appetite, this was ideal. It's darker in here but not in a bad way, just "out of the pure sunshine" kind of way. Service was nice and we were delighted to get right in. My kids were so hungry after defying us and not eating for what felt like days. That came to a halt here. My oldest got the grown up sized burger, and my youngest chicken tenders. We didn't hear a peep out of them for about 15 minutes, which is always nice. I can't say the food is earth shatteringly good or anything, but we all enjoyed it. It feels like a place where a little nostalgia plus the shine of vacation elevates it to me. Oh and beer prices were very fair too. The little animal crackers they brought out at the end were a hit as well. All in all, a classic, fun, friendly kind of spot that we very much enjoyed.
