We happened upon Holland, Michigan at the best of all possible times: their annual Tulip Time festival (held every year in mid-May). Our decision to eat at Butch's was spontaneous: a quick look at their menu guaranteed our enjoyment. Almost everything on the menu was either a personal favorite or promised to be a new one. The place is divided... More

My friends and I went to this restaurant last Saturday, May 4, 2013, the first day of the Tulip festival. We came in around 12:30 PM after trying other places but were packed and had long waiting time. This place when we came in only had a few customers but it took several minutes for the hostess to sit us... More

Tried this cute laid back place on a recommendation for dinner with a friend. It attracts families and singles so be prepared to have small children at the next table while you sip your wine. That said, the wait staff is very good giving your plenty of time and terrific recommendations with both wine, there are cases stacked all over,... More

We had dinner here our second night in Michigan. It was great walking around downtown Holland before dinner. Our waitress and the staff were very friendly. This place is a little more pricey for the portions but the food is great. They have an awesome variety of drinks. They asked if we were celebrating anything and when finding out it... More

What a find! I would suggest reservations for dinner at this great restaurant right in the heart of lovely downtown Holland. We were there on a Thursday night and the place was quite busy. Service was fantastic as was the food. An extensive wine/beer list as well as interesting cocktails. When they found out it was our anniversary, we were... More

The food at Butch's has never really been outstanding, we've eaten there primarily because of the atmosphere and location, however, the menu prices keep rising, and have risen astronomically, while other restaurants in the downtown Holland area keep their prices the same. If we wanted to pay $30 for chicken we would have gone out for dinner in NYC or... More

I visited Butch's for lunch with my 9-year old daughter for a break from shopping in Holland's downtown on a Wednesday afternoon. The restaurant offers a formal area and a pub area -- both sections offer the same menu, which includes a long list of sandwiches, soups, and salads. I had a "Manhattan Transfer" (a Reuben) that included a salad.... More

The food was outstanding, and our waiter was great. I had the meatloaf that was on special and the wife had their mac and cheese. It was the best meatloaf I've ever had. The Mac and Cheese was pretty good, but not outstanding, but it came with a lot of food! The waiter kept our glasses full the entire time... More

Had a business dinner here with a big group. We had several appetizers and they were all amazing. Pork belly = to die for especially. Cheese plate and hummus were generous and good. I had a dinner salad that was "meh," but the short rib more than made up for it. Incredible! Your bill can add up. Order right and... More

Stopped into Butch's for a drink and decided to stay for a bite to eat. We stopped in for Happy Hour. They have a decent beer selection, maybe 8 beers on tap. They have a very nice wine selection. We looked at the menu and the cheese plate looked very inviting. It had four cheeses and some sides. It was... More
