I tried to give this place the benefit of the doubt as I’ve been excited to try, but so shocked about my experience here today. We sat ourselves at 2:40 as there wasn’t a hostess stand or any signage. About 15 minutes later we were finally greeted by our waiter who gave us menus and waters. As soon as the waters were sat down, I noticed a long hair on one and went to take it off the cup, imagining it was just stuck to the side. However, as I pulled on it, it was twisted in the ice. When the waiter walked by I asked for a new one due to the hair and he got us a new one. Should’ve left at this point, but waiting, waiting, waiting. We had already landed on our drinks, appetizer, and meal yet the waiter had walked past multiple times ignoring us then no where to be found. Finally at 3:20 I got the attention of another waitress and asked if our waiter’s shift had ended as we’ve been seated for 40 minutes without anyone taking our order. Now this waitress, Haley (I believe), was GREAT!!!! She apologized and took over our table while we seen she had her hands full with two large tables. Food came out very fast which was great since we waited so long to be served. My first bite of the nachos had literal PLASTIC on top! At this point, I’m over it and ready to leave but we haven’t even gotten our main course. Our food came which looked delicious, but fell short. I got fish and chips which I couldn’t attempt to finish after pulling out about 4 bones from my first filet. We were there way longer than planned, 2:40-4:30.
Overall, the only positive thing about my afternoon was the second waitress who took over our table. Highly recommend they invest in hiring a hostess, establishing better sections for their wait staff, and training their staff.

The location is good. Suggest asking the landlord to modify the parking lot layout and the place would be an amazing location. The staff and atmosphere looks like a lot of fun! We were there when it was quiet. But I would suggest stick to drinking. Unfortunately I would say that this was one of the worst meals in my life. The meats were very dry, cold, almost as if they were left overs. The guacamole had a vinegar taste as when it starts to turn. The tacos look interesting but all the sauce was to hide that pathetic poor quality meat. I’m sorry but the chef and owner need to do better. With the quality of food I would not like to see the kitchen area. The bathroom needed work too. Overall unfortunately one of the worst experiences in my life and I have ate in a lot places. The layout and location and serving staff have a lot of potential. I hope to see h the is on a future Bar Rescue episode.

Excellent staff, burgers, and drinks. Love it. It can be a pain trying to find a table as there’s no hostess so it’s open seating. I think they changed their taco recipe or something as it doesn’t taste as good from previous years. The Mexican cauliflower crust pizza was good

This is a seasonal restaurant, so be sure to check hours. Find Lolo’s in the Yacht Basin Marina on the way to Holland State Park. There is only outdoor seating, so if it’s cold or rainy… find somewhere else to go! You can’t beat the super casual & relaxed atmosphere at Lolo’s! Nice views overlooking the water- it feels like you are in Florida. I had the most interesting and delicious Caesar salad! My daughter loved her burger. It’s a little on the pricey side, but you are definitely paying for the waterfront location- and it’s worth it!

This place makes you feel like you’re somewhere tropical, relaxed, and warm! How awesome that that’s right here in Holland during our summer months. The drinks are a bit pricey, but solid. The food is excellent overall. We were very pleased with the size and portion of the fish and chips, along with the brisket nachos. SO GOOD! Our waitress was kind and attentive, and the food came out quickly. No complaints here except perhaps a little pricey… but you’re by the water, so it compensates. 🙂

The atmosphere here is great being right on the marina, and our service was amazing. We ordered the elote and pork nachos. The elote had good flavor, but if you like big kernels on your cob this isn’t the elote for you. Highly recommend the Palomas. They were very good; refreshing and not too sweet.

A great atmosphere on the water by the docks. Very fun place to be and eat. The live music adds to it as well. Awesome spot.
Food is very good. We have had the tacos, Cubano Sandwich and Nachos. We like them all the smoked brisket on the tacos and nachos is great.
Our server was nice and checked on us the right amount.
Downsides
There was a bit of a wait to get in.
The bathroom was not clean.
The food is on the pricier side.
Limited menu.
Very limited gluten free options.

First time here, and so far it’s been my favorite restaurant on the water in Michigan. The chicken tacos and pork nachos were very good! Unfortunately the picture below doesn’t do it justice. I’d definitely come back! Also they play my fav jams.

Do you like sun, fun, water, boats, music, and people watching? Then let me tell you what! You will probably “like” this place.
Do you like good food, good portions, hot food and decent prices? Well then, you may like this place a bit less.
We got a couple different items on the menu and were very excited for them (tacos pictured, sorry I wasn’t enthusiastic enough to snap photos of all the food after seeing it come out). The 3 tacos and 1/4 cup scoop of rice and beans that I got was 20$, came out cold with so little meat and toppings that I could almost wrap the tacos a full second time. #Embarassing.
The cubano (not pictured) came out TINY, fit in the palm of your hand tiny, equally tiny amount of meat, COLD and the bread was hurt the roof of your mouth hard. The shoestring fries were obviously cold, I don’t hold that one against them, you can’t keep those warm, BUT, they were also saturated in grease and unjoyful to consume. Price for a sandwhich and fries at 16$ is fair, as long as the food is good. Which, again, it was not.
Something to note, they do NOT have a standard hostess stand and waiting list. You stand in line, wait for a host to make their way down the line (every 5-10 minutes or so), ask your name, jot it down, and then you basically continue to stand in queue until you get to the front, ask your name, make sure you’re next and seat you. The bar area is first come first serve and seemed to rollover pretty regularly making it a nice spot to saddle up and get a drink while you wait (just make sure you tell the host, otherwise you WILL get skipped, remember the queue).
All in all we got 2 drinks, 2 meals, and spend near 80$. Would it have been worth it had the food been DE-LISH? Sure, but alas, it was not. As much fun as the place is, the food turns you away. Go there with friends who want to get apps and drinks and enjoy the atmosphere and your experience will be leaps and bounds better.
tl:dr – atmosphere was great, pretty quick rotation of seating. Terrible food.
Service wasn’t great, not bad, just acceptably good.
