"This stylish bistro is a welcome respite, with white table cloths, warm lighting, and local art on walls. A small list of tightly curated wines spans the globe, but the draw here is Butch's 200-plus beer selection, spanning micro, craft, and imported beers and ciders. The menu is a selection of New American classics, and Butch's prides itself on working closely with local purveyors, listing its local partners prominently on the website. When in Holland, head here for a sophisticated, special dinner that is elevated but unfussy." - Jessi Roti, Joseph Hernandez

A really good restaurant. Great cocktails and wines during happy hour (4-6pm). Staff was great. I chatted with several locals and tourists during happy hour as I tried various wines and cocktails, and then got a table on the back patio with outdoor seating. Had the burger paired with a really nice Gamay. IMO the best place in town for a nice private dinner, or sitting inside at the bar. First time you go there it is a bit tricky finding the bathroom (but locals had funny stories about it).

We went here for my birthday. It was a lovely place! But my partner and I had some feedback: 1. Old Fashioned: my partner ordered this. It was too strong. A lot of the sugar was sitting on the bottom and not mixed in. However the more he drank and swirled, it became more watered down and easier to drink. 2. Rib Eye Steak: 6/10 For the price, this missed the mark. The fat was not cooked enough and the meat was somewhat rubbery - may have been frozen. It needed more salt and pepper before cooking and I ended up rubbing the butter from our bread to help enhance the flavor. The house Demi did not do enough to make up for it unfortunately. Recommendation: Go to a steak house instead if you have a steak craving. 3. Sourdough Bread: it was really good! But salty (I know it says salt in the menu, but it was really salty). And it was not worth the price (you get like four pieces of bread for $10) Now on to the positives! 1. The Dark and Stormy cocktail was really good as well as the glass of wine we ordered. They have many to choose from. 2. The chicken I ordered was really good! Very juicy. I just wish it came with a side. 3. The service was very good. We were directed to our seats right away and our server was very friendly and attentive. 4. I love the tulip wine glasses! They are very cute! 5. Espresso: Tasted freshly ground. Good flavor and not too acidic. 6. Fall Gelato: Seasonal. Best thing on the menu! Fall notes: cinnamon, gingerbread. Not overly sweet. Bottom Line: Lovely place, worth a try. We would still come back, but will try different things!

We visited this restaurant during the Tulip festival so as expected it was very busy after the parade. The atmosphere is rustic & staff accommodating. The steak was delicious and cooked perfectly. The mushroom Demi sauce was very delicious. The best ever. The burger was also delicious. Unfortunately, the only Distraction was the double bone pork chop. It looked really good on the outside, but when we cut into it, it was pretty much raw. We told the waitress and they comp us on it, but since we were in a hurry, we got it boxed for us as we requested. I’m still on the fence on rating this as a fine dining experience. Overall, it was a good experience & maybe they were overwhelmed during such a busy time.

Very hit or miss. The restaurant itself was very nice, good ambiance, nice music. The seater was a sweetheart, the server was ok. The food was both good and bad. The crab dip was burnt on the edges and my scallops were raw but the burrata and beet salad was heavenly and Conor’s pork chop was perfection.

I worked in Holland for 4 days a week from 2010 to 2016 and ate at Butch’s frequently during that time. We were in Holland over the weekend and decided to dine at Butch’s since it was one of our favorites. I had a Jungle Bird cocktail which was great. We were dining with another couple and we ordered two plates of scallops which were excellent. In the past, they used to have a scallops entree but now it is only available as an appetizer. I had the grilled hanger steak and my wife had the shrimp spaghetti, both were really good. I had the hanger steak years ago and it’s just as great as it was before. We were really happy that Butch’s remains a great place for dinner in Holland. The staff are still very friendly and all have pleasant personalities. I highly recommend this place if you are in Holland. Make a reservation a few days early or you may be waiting for a table. There is plenty of street parking available.

Great atmosphere and our server was very attentive. She mixed and matched menu items to accommodate our special requests. My filet was melt in your mouth tender and the fish dishes of the other diners at the table got high praise. Convenient parking lot for the restaurant. Would definitely dine there again and highly recommend.

We sat at the bar (tables were available but we wanted the bar). We had a nice bottle of wine ($60). We had the scallops ($18) as an app. For meals my husband had the chili walleye ($32) and I had the filet ($56). It was worth every penny! Jeanette was our bartender/server and she was wonderful! It was an excellent atmosphere. It's family friendly, casual but at the same time classy and fine dining. We will definitely be back!
