About the restaurant

Crazy Horse Steakhouse and Saloon in Holland, Michigan has received the "Best of Michigan" award for 18 years in a row now. While it's obviously a steakhouse, there is so much more at Crazy Horse Steakhouse and Saloon to enjoy. For nearly 25 years, the menu here has also featured ribs, sweet marinated chicken and lots of seafood options.

There are some great sandwiches and burgers at Crazy Horse Steakhouse and Saloon, too. The bacon cheddar burger, boot kicken' bleu burger and Zeek's classic burger are just three specialties worth considering. If you like barbecue, try the big pig. You'll get a plate of slow-cooked pork barbecue piled high on a home-style bun.

This restaurant is always very busy so if you want to enjoy their consistently excellent food, just be prepared for a crowded parking lot and a very lively (noisy) dining experience. When I made the reservation I thought I was asking for a table, but we ended up in a booth which felt a little cramped, and I could feel the people behind me moving around. Overall though we had an excellent server, and the food was delicious. It was cooked to order and was the perfect temperature. We were not rushed at all, and the meal was paced just right so we could enjoy our salads😊 The menu offers many options, and the portions are generous. Prices are very comparable to other restaurants in the area. There is a great happy hour and nightly specials❤️ I don’t envision too many disappointed diners at Crazy Horse.

We we’re staying on site at the fields and had reservations, but as dinner time approached so did a rainstorm and we weren’t much in the mood for socializing. Staff went above and beyond and delivered our dinner to our tent!! we offered to come pick it up, but they were so kind to bring it to us to enjoy the privacy of our own tent!
