Bowdie’s Chophouse in Michigan

"My husband and I just recently went here for date night and we loved it! Our steak was cooked perfectly, the sides were amazing even down to pit broccolini - I don’t think I have ever had veggies cooked to perfection the way these were! Our waitress was very attentive, knowledgeable and we had amazing service altogether. We will most likely be back as it was so nice to be at a restaurant that took pride in what they were serving."

"My boyfriend and I had a wonderful first time here! Jackson is a wonderful bartender and his service is top notch. He made wonderful recommendations and we took every single one of them. Neither of us drink, but we had wonderful mocktails (The French 42 was our favorite!) We started with the truffle fries, which was served with a wonderful garlic Dijon aoili. My boyfriend had The Cowboy, and I had the market fish (which was a wonderful rare yellowfin tuna, recommended my Jackson when I told him I was allergic to red meat). We got a celebratory crème brûlée that was wonderful as well. All of the staff members were very friendly. All in all absolutely 10/10 and we will be back for our next celebration:)"

"When we arrived, we first sat at the bar for a few minutes while they made our table. We sat down after a short wait and got our food order in. We had a great night! Our server and bartender, Mitch and Adam, were pleasures and had great banter with us all night. Our food was so tasty and we enjoyed every bit of it. Apps, drinks, dinner, and desert were 10/10 delicious. Add the great atmosphere, friendly staff, and overall experience, I would highly recommend checking out Bowdie’s on your next night out."

"Out of all of the high-end steakhouses in Grand Rapids, this is by far the best. We started out with the shrimp bisque, and it was excellent. I ordered the filet and it was the best steak I have had in my entire life. My husband isn’t a huge steak person so he made the mistake of getting salmon. It was good, but it was salmon that you could get at any restaurant. Get steak if you are coming here. The filet was 10 ounces and seasoned perfectly. It literally melted in my mouth. We also got Brussels and bellies. They were fantastic. I forgot to add that they start you off with bread and butter and it is very good. It was my birthday so I got something chocolate, but I can’t remember what it was. It was a slice of rich chocolate with ice cream on top and chocolate syrup over it. I wasn’t hungry enough for too much, but I knew my husband would gladly eat what I didn’t. I am not a big chocolate person, but it was good and my husband said it was amazing. Service was fantastic from the time we entered until the time we left. As far as the cost, it is expensive and you should know that and expect that when you come to eat here, but there our ways to make it a little less expensive. They have steaks that are large enough to split and the appetizer is also big enough to split. Overall, we had a great experience and we will be back. For us, this is a once or twice a year treat. We were just there at the end of December and I’m already ready to go back again, but trying to wait a little bit. Go now if you love steak and you haven’t been!"

"We went here for our anniversary dinner and the staff was so gracious. The food was great and out server recommended some awesome dishes. We both had steaks which were cooked perfectly. The lobster mac was pretty good, although we are not a fan of that particular pasta. The cocktails were great and there were plenty of options. The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxing. We will absolutely go back."

"Excellent food and service! First time visit and was thoroughly impressed with food, ambiance and setting. Staff went out of their way to accommodate the dining experience. Good options across the menu for non red meat eaters (which I am) so definitely will be returning."

"The customer service (Lisa was our waitress) and level of care and detail here is phenomenal. My first experience last year was unreal. This time they cooked our filet mignons to perfection, but my partner’s tasted like absolute char. She ordered the lobster mac instead and it was delivered very quickly and tasted great. Our bone marrow took a little longer than expected to come out, which we didn’t mind or think twice about, yet they still gave us a shrimp cocktail on the house. They also took the bone marrow off the tab, and obviously charged us for the lobster mac and waved her steak. It is not the mistakes that define you, but how you handle them, and it was done very professionally. We left happy and satisfied, and I plan on returning for more and recommending this establishment to anyone looking for an elegant place to celebrate something special."

"Easily one of the best steakhouses in the country, not just Michigan. Steaks and sides are always cooked perfectly. The service is always 5 stars. Highly recommend"
