    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.

    The atmosphere here is very bright. They love their Red and White color scheme. It does give it a…read morevery clean feel to it. They have their ordering counter right when you enter. However if you are eating there you just let them know that and they'll seat you and take your oeder like a regular restaurant. I ordered Pork Belly Bao Buns ($12.50), these are coleslaw, spicy mayo, katsu sauce, and cucumbers served on Boa Buns. There are 3 per order. These were very good. These were very good and fresh. I also ordered a medium order of Korean Fried Chicken ($28) in drumstick form. The medium comes with 10 very large drumsticks. They were also very good and cooked very well. I definitely didn't need the medium size, the small size would have been good enough. The chicken was juicy and tasty. The garlic soy sauce was also tasty. The service was very good. Super efficient and friendly. Overall a solid 4 1/2 stars. Since I need to round it becomes a 4. Would I return? Yes, though it's only my 2nd best korean fried chicken in West Michigan. They do have a bigger menu though, which is intriguing.

    Cute new little Korean fusion restaurant. I loved that they played some christmassy K-pop music…read morevideos on a screen on the wall. Makes for a fun atmosphere. The flavor of my chicken sliders was really nice, but they were rather dry, and the little nugget of chicken was way too small for the slider bun, so you've got to take several bites of just bun and coleslaw. All the waitstaff were very helpful and kind. I've heard that their japchae is really great, so I'll have to go back and give that a try.
