We ate lunch out under the canopy (in the shade) and it was wonderful. Brochette appetizer was wonderful with a mix of tomatoes and strawberries truly unique but wonderful. Wife and I both went for the brisket tacos. They were delicious !

Boatwerks has a great atmosphere with nice views of the lake and plenty of space inside and out. I felt it was a pretty unique restaurant. However, the chairs were pretty uncomfortable, I was never offered a refill on my drink, we had to steal a chair ourselves, and the food while good did not live up to its price in terms of taste and portions. One wasn’t cooked how it was ordered either. Though I’m sure they would’ve fixed it and it still tasted alright. The staff was polite though.

I used to dine at Boatwerks frequently when I worked in Holland from 2010 to 2016. Now they have a nice covered area outside, that was not there years ago. It rained a little while we were eating outside, but it was fine since we didn’t get wet. This is a nice waterfront restaurant and you even see boats pull up and dock and then the people eat at the restaurant. I had the lobster roll and it was really good. I recommend this place, it’s just as good as it was years ago and maybe even better. There is plenty of parking in the restaurant parking lot. This place does not take reservations, so you may need to wait a little while for a table but it’s worth the wait.

We had our wedding at Boatwerks last month and it was amazing! The atmosphere, food, drinks, staff, and setup were incredible! Boatwerks accommodated dietary restrictions by plating those meals and bringing them to the assigned tables eventhough we had a buffet. We were surprised by how friendly and professional the staff were and were blown away by the food! Boatwerks also allowed us to do a his and hers drink which we loved. The ceremony had a beautiful view and the reception flowed perfectly to the patio. We would definitely recommend Boatwerks!

One of the nicest restaurants in Holland! We came by boat from Freedom Boat Club. Drinks & food were delicious. Lovely atmosphere with sweeping views of Lake Macatawa. Great spot for special occasions.

Holland’s only restaurant on the water (as far as I know). By reading reviews online I was able to share that the shrimp tacos got top billing. Yes, delicious. The farmhouse pizza and crab Louie salad were delicious. Fresh crab elevated the taste. I think you could skip the crab cake appetizer. It didn’t taste like crab to me. Relaxing vibe in the restaurant – but the star of the experience was our waiter, Steve. He knew the menu like the back of his hand and gave us great suggestions. Friendly and personable, it was as if we were his personal guests. He came around just enough and made sure the servers always topped off our water glasses without our asking. This guy is a gem -thank you!

Good atmosphere. I like this place and drinks, especially frozen lemon cocktail. But service and food was not good. Not worth the price. The steak is in the state before eating. It was $29. No professional in the kitchen. There are few ingredients for pizza.
