    Okay guys, this is THE one. Cozy space, welcoming staff and ethically sourced food. Best meal we have had in a long time. We came here on the way home from a short vacation up north and Yelp guided us to this gem. We had no idea what to expect, but felt a calm come over us upon entering this bright and well decorated establishment with real plant clippings and healthy food options. I immediately vibed with the chalk board menu and daily specials. The waitress was down to earth and kind. It felt like a bohemian diner that was kid friendly. You guys... the food! Everyone cleared their plates. They made their fries from scratch. My carrot ginger soup hit the spot for a cold day along with my delicious veggie dipping sandwich. My hubby devoured his juicy burger and even their soda had a healthy undertone, marketed as "prebiotic grape soda." This place is not around the corner from us, but if it was... we'd be regulars! Definitely on our radar the next time we find ourself near Whitehall.

    Cheeseburger (cheddar) + bacon, lettuce, tomato, ketchup, mustard - soooooo good.

    Do yourself a favor and go get a burger here! I had an event in town and stopped by for a REAL burger, bun and all. At first it looked heavy on the lettuce, but it wasn't -it was perfect. I created my own with a single patty + cheddar, bacon and all the fixins. A server will come out to take your order whether you sit inside or out. You only order at the counter if you want it to go. Seating inside was pretty full, but I wanted to sit outside anyway since they offer plenty of shade. If there is a wait for indoor seating, they have a board for you to sign in at the door. They always seem to be busy (for good reason), so I apparently hit it at a good time... I was literally the only person on the patio. Good, kind people who don't mess around when it comes to good food and service. Great staple for Whitehall.

    The best burger of my life? Perfectly smashed, incredible flavor. Got their standard burger topped as is. Picked it up and took it to the brewery down the street (they didn't have food yet at lunchtime). Love that they don't throw your fries for online orders in until you come in to pick it up. Slows the process down the littlest bit, but well worth it and I respect the commitment to quality. If I pass through Whitehall again or anywhere within 20 miles I'm going back for the Gnarly Heifer.

    The flavor of the food was exceptional. Everyone working was welcoming and friendly. There isn't a lot of seating inside but there is more outside seating when the weather permits. We will definitely be back.

    It's been two weeks since returning home to California and we are still talking about the Gnarly Heifer. We decided to come here on a whim and almost didn't to check out Whitehall, what a disappointment if we didn't. We tried their Truffle Fries, delicious then, delicious cold or reheated later. I had the brisket burger which lasted two meals and was so HUGE. My brother tried the special which was beyond amazing. We were so impressed and it was our favorite place in our 10 day still in Michigan from Grand Rapids to Holland to Whitehall, this was the best.

    The food at this place is absolutely incredible! The beef they serve comes from local farms, and The French fries are crispy and delicious. I would 10000000000% recommend this restaurant The service here is exceptionally warm and inviting. Plus, the interior is beautiful, especially the dinosaurs!

    See all

    Good quality food. The place is a bit cold and stark though. Efficient service. Not many tables available.

    Burgers were good but unfortunately the truffle fries where stone cold. Must have been short staffed as it was the cook who waited on us.
