About the restaurant

Crazy Horse Steakhouse and Saloon in Holland, Michigan has received the "Best of Michigan" award for 18 years in a row now. While it's obviously a steakhouse, there is so much more at Crazy Horse Steakhouse and Saloon to enjoy. For nearly 25 years, the menu here has also featured ribs, sweet marinated chicken and lots of seafood options.

There are some great sandwiches and burgers at Crazy Horse Steakhouse and Saloon, too. The bacon cheddar burger, boot kicken' bleu burger and Zeek's classic burger are just three specialties worth considering. If you like barbecue, try the big pig. You'll get a plate of slow-cooked pork barbecue piled high on a home-style bun.

Overall, wonderful lunch. The server didn’t have the “extra” something that many of the other servers have in their engagement with our table. He was good, just not the top tier. I’d recommend more smiles, chatting casually with us, etc. The food was terrific, great presentation.

As soon as I walked in, I looked at my girlfriend in awe. Bowdies is absolutely beautiful. The way its decorated makes it feel almost home-like with comfortable energy, and the whole place smelt amazing. The service was fantastic, and the cook came to ask how everything was, he was a really cool guy. Everybody in there was so nice, and they played really good music, i loved the vibe. THE FOOD… The food was so good. The stake melted in my mouth, the lobster mac had an amazing creamy essence to it, and there sauces are delicious. The only thing im mad about when i think back to going, is not getting more food. Bowdies Chophouse in lansing is definitely a place worth going too, I would recommend it to anyone.

We we’re staying on site at the fields and had reservations, but as dinner time approached so did a rainstorm and we weren’t much in the mood for socializing. Staff went above and beyond and delivered our dinner to our tent!! we offered to come pick it up, but they were so kind to bring it to us to enjoy the privacy of our own tent!
