    Salad bar was small, but had all the fixin's.
 But had to be replenished often.
 Not a good thing.

    This place is a Muskegon institution. Not that, that is a good thing. It's just been around for a while. They have a room of taxidermy animals I heard the founder was a big game hunter. Not that I care....I'm here to eat. They have a big crowd on Friday night for their perch fish fry. So there are plenty of servers....don't know if that is the case on other nights. I ordered the perch dinner.....6 pieces plus baked potato. Tater was good. I've been here before....it was great. Not so much this time. Fish was bigger, but not tasty. Tarter sauce was not tangy....but sweet. Our server was great, but that won't make me return.

    Jalapeño cheese balls

    Brad was the bartender and took good care of me. Happy hour is $.50 off of any drink you order. The food everything fried was perfectly cooked and delicious. The garlic toast was white bread and pub cheese on the side it surprised me how tasty it was. The salad bar did not have many choices. I didn't see any TV and no music was playing . They do have a pool table and keno. Overall it's a nice local place! Give it a try.

    Seafood combo

    When I walked in, I was not greeted, that alone should've told me to walk out of the restaurant. I didn't mind paying $19 for a plate of fish but for the fish to be purely tasteless I just couldn't stomach it. Literally, I did not even finish my food I do not recommend this to anyone but locals who do not know anything better to eat than this.

    2 eggs, toast, hash. I would skip the hash...

    Sadly small and lackluster bar. Kids there after 9 with odd clientele. Remnant of an older, less glamorous era. For older ppl.

    This is a nice mom and pop owned landmark. The Perch is known far and wide! Facilities for wedding receptions or meetings available too.

    ​"We visited this Red Robin on Saturday and had an exceptionally wonderful experience thanks to our…read moreserver, Breanna Vail. She is, quite simply, the best! ​Breanna went above and beyond in every way. She was incredibly attentive, keeping our drinks timed perfectly and ensuring our fries were always topped off. She was also a huge help with the tabletop technology, personally helping us with our gift card and guiding us through the ordering process so it was completely stress-free. ​Beyond the great service, she was a lovely person to talk to--impressive, personable, and professional. People like Breanna are the reason we come back. She truly represents the best of Red Robin's hospitality!"

I really appreciate that they don't season the fries too much, so you can add as much as you want with the seasoning on the table. Chicken tenders were delicious, and bigger than what you usually get at other places. I usually don't like bigger, thicker chicken tenders at places, but these ones were as good as the thinner ones while also getting you more full. Good music volume in the background for conversations. Server was attentive and got us more fries when we finished each time. Got fries to go and a milkshake to go, very satisfied customer.
