Great food but poor service. Got part of our order in 15 minutes, the rest came after a hour and several conversations with the staff. Ultimately asked for a refund and the food appeared a few minutes later. We were not the only guests to have this type of issue with orders “getting lost in their system”. That said, I would go back again but would follow up on my order several times before waiting for an hour.

After a terrible experience at Dr. Rolf’s I decided to email the owners (instead of just complain on Google). Gratefully, I received an excellent response from them that acknowledged my complaints, refunded my bill, promised to address these issues with their staff and work towards training everyone to prevent future problems. So, yes I’m giving them a 5 Star review on their response (their food was good as well) and will return to this establishment in the near future to try again, hopefully after kinks have been worked out.

Very nice place , plenty of seating either inside or outside. Order drinks at bar and order off menu and pay with QR code. Pretty good size menu and lots of choices. Had dirty tater tots with brisket and chips and queso. Was very good and portions were good also. Prices were as I would expect. Service was good.

Wish I had a chance to try this place, it looked real good. We were at Grand Haven City Beach trying to find a place for a carry out, and I tried calling (six times!)…and they didn’t answer. According to their machine, they should have been open, so I figured they were probably just understaffed and decided to just try driving down to place an order in person. They should have been open for another 30-40 minutes. I got there and was told they weren’t taking any more orders for the night, as their kitchen was overwhelmed. I told the lady I understand this, but I told her I tried calling six times, and just wish someone had answered so I hadn’t wasted my time. She apologized and told me her manager told her to stop answering the phone as they weren’t taking orders. They should have tried their best to answer the phones, even if simply to tell that they’re closed. Especially when you’ve got someone that’s called six different times (over about a fifteen minute time period). The fact that the manager, Nathan, told the employee to intentionally ignore calls is pretty unimpressive. And it resulted in me wasting my time.

Hey if you close on Sunday’s at 7pm then adjust your time everywhere its posted as 8pm… on the signs as you enter. And if you happen to change that day to close early, don’t allow a group of 10 people to come in at 6:50, assuming you close at 8 like all the signs say, let them get seated, allow them to sit there with menu’s for 12 minutes until it’s 7:02 and then go tell them you close at 7pm so you can’t serve them. Then when you are told about the 8pm signs and website to respond “Oh well we are unaware of that” is just not cool. We had enjoyed your food in the past but honesty and customer service goes a long way in maintaining customers. Not impressed.

What? Can’t hear you! Evidently, a very popular place for lots of families. It was live music night, so even louder. The food was wonderful, especially the beet and arugula salad with blue cheese! The beer we had- Grandma’s Purse Candy, tasted too sweet and like Grandma’s purse.

This place is a joke. First off the staff was incredibly rude when we walked in. Stood by the register for 5 mins, till we asked an employee what to do. They then said with an attitude you sit your self. They then told us we had to order drinks at the bar? And pick up are good from a window. One employee said “you can order drinks from me if I come back here”. Over all it was not an enjoyable experience, didn’t even get to try the food due to awful 10 mins we where there. Quit trying to reinvent the wheel.

First time a few months ago had the 3 meat platter & EVERYthing was stellar; tonight I cannot say the same as clearly much has changed since. First off missing a side, second the ribs were undercooked & fatty. Third the servings; from the chips & salsa but more so all the meats & obviously the sides have all decreased noticably

Brisket and tater tots were fire. “Service and help were pretty lackluster”… I’m editing this part of my review after the fact for clarity as I realized that the service in question was not part of your business, but that of the brewery as I errantly lumped them both into one. Everyone at Dr. Rolf’s was kind and helpful, my apologies for the confusion!
