The Grill Room

Whether it’s after golf, or a day at the beach, come enjoy our all-house-made cooking with friends and family at The Grill Room.  Even our complimentary breads were just a sack of flour this morning.  And our “Genuine Hospitality” includes spectacular views from every table overlooking walking gardens, lush landscapes, and our manicured rolling, tree-lined golf course.  Plus, seasonal seating on our Patio puts you right in the middle of it all, surrounded by the colors of nature summer evenings as weather permits.

WINTER Re-Start HOURS  Tuesday, February 2nd, 2021:  Tues-Saturday 5:00 pm to 9:00 (Closed Sunday & Monday Nights). 

TWO WAYS TO GET A TABLE

  1.  ADVANCE RESERVATION
  2.  WALK-IN (just ONE of you) and check availability

First, you can now make a RESERVATION (starting Feb. 1st, 2021)!  

For tables of any size up to 6, with no more than 2 residential households represented, you can sign up on-line right here for a table reservation.  Due to restricted hours and occupancy, we ask you to plan only 90 minutes at your table.  Sorry.  But being sustainable relies on it.  DO sign-up by clicking on BOOK NOW below … and please don’t call … we can’t handle the call volume at busy times. 

  1. Press BOOK NOW below (date or time shown can be changed on next screen)
  2. Select the DATE and number of persons at your table
  3. Press the time you want … if it’s not shown, it’s not available
  4. If you can’t get your time, try another ok?
  5. The widget will communicate with you
  6. When it’s time, have ONE of you check in with our Host
  7. All guests must vacate the premises by 11:00 pm

Outdoor Tables are closed until warmer weather.  Our Indoor Tables are generously spaced, disinfected, and well-served.  But ALL arriving parties need to have JUST ONE PERSON check in with the Host/Hostess.  Others need to wait outdoors or in the car.  PARTIAL PARTIES can’t be seated until complete.  So arrange to meet all in your party OUT FRONT… then ONE OF YOU check in with the host.

As the seasons/weather changes again, revisit this page to see what changes we needed to make here. Thanks.

LATEST NEWS:    updated Saturday, April 17, 2021

EXIT 41 I-196 CLOSED:  Coming from Holland or Hudsonville area?  Plan ahead to NOT use the regular Saugatuck exit off I-196.  It’s CLOSED to SOUTHBOUND traffic.  Instead take the BLUE STAR HWY, or 60th STREET, or 64th STREET.

If you forget, you’ll be forced to continue on to Exit 36 (Ganges/Douglas) and drive an extra 9-10 miles.  It’s currently still open going back, for northbound traffic.

Patio and Outdoor Dining is CLOSED until construction is completed and weather is predictably good to stay … Indoor Dining here is generously spaced, with lots of covid screens, lots of circulating fresh air, and lots of continued disinfecting.  We don’t heat the outdoors.  We tried patio-heaters and found our spaces just too wide-open for them to be effective.  We gave them away.  So here at Clearbrook … it’s indoors or Take-Away.

Until warmer weather, THE GRILL ROOM is in regular WINTER service hours, 5 nights a week … closed Sun/Mon.

As COVID is still a thing, MASKS ARE REQUIRED and RESERVATIONS ARE AVAILABLE on THIS page.  Please don’t call … we can’t handle the volume.  Walk-ins may still work, BUT PLEASE … JUST ONE PERSON FROM YOUR PARTY ENTER TO GET A TABLE FROM OUR HOST.  You’ll find our spacing as pleasant as our smiling faces!

To GET A TABLE, see our RESERVATION option on THE GRILL ROOM page (RESERVATIONS option was not available until Feb. 1st).

Remember all the buzz about “10 at 10”?  Those ten famous complete dinners, each for $10, started right here at The Grill Room in 2002 … permanently cementing VALUE into your dining visit to the Saugatuck lakeshore.  Since then, sure, our menu has evolved and grown with the times, but The Grill Room is still true to its roots.  Some of those same home-styled $10 dinners are still available, a little higher now, but a great dining value.  Take a look at the MENU, which more than ever still meets the needs of our often-returning “LOYALS and LOCALS”.

 

The Grill Room serves five nights weekly year-round (Tues-Sat), plus Sunday nights in summer.  We’re always closed Monday nights, to be rested and ready by Tuesday.  Once you’re here, you’ll know why it won BEST CASUAL LAKESHORE RESTAURANT by Lake Magazine, and Wine Spectator Magazines’ AWARD OF EXCELLENCE for five consecutive years.  House-made foods, generous craft cocktails, 240 bottle wine selections, popular prices, and service 52 weeks a year… you’ll be glad you made that two minute drive from downtown Saugatuck!  Just north of town, off Blue Star Highway.
