Bowdie’s Chophouse

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!

The interior is a cozy classy ambiance, and there’s also a lovely outdoor seating area. The service was attentive and fun, and the overall vibe made for a memorable dining experience. Every dish we ordered was incredibly tasty and satisfying.

Drinks were strong and steaks were prepared to melt in your mouth, juicy, tender perfection. The sides are sharable so make sure to get some for the table. I am not always a big fan of rare/raw beef, but tried a bite of my friend's beef tartar and was pleasantly surprised. The bone marrow is a must. Needless to say, all the dishes ordered were very delicious.

My wife and I enjoyed a fantastic meal for our 18th anniversary. We started with the Escargot, which was delicious! Then we moved on to the Tomahawk for Two! They say it's for two, but it's large enough that we had 4 meals from it. It was just as delicious when we had our leftovers! The sides of Creamed Spinach and Au Gratain Potatoes were the perfect compliment to our Tomahawk! We had a special, to us, bottle of wine that we brought in. There is a $25 corkage fee, which is understandable. Somehow, we still had room for dessert and thank God we did. That might have been the best dessert we've ever had! Don't pass on it! Our server, Manny, was top notch! He truly made us feel special and was there whenever we needed something! Thank you, Manny, for a wonderful experience!!!

Absolutely top drawer restaurant! Pricey? Very! Worth it, definitely. Seafood Tower was superb. Various steaks were magnifique! Take two Omeprazole before dining here. Service was so excellent that I can’t even describe it. It must be experienced to appreciate. Best way to describe the service is to call it anticipatory. They knew what we wanted or needed before we did!

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.

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 all around! It was my son’s 21st birthday and I’m happy to have spent it here. Steak was amazing, drinks were great and Ms Lisa, our server hands down the best I’ve had in a very long time. She took the time to explain everything to us in regards to timing of the courses which I appreciated. She was wonderful! Thank you Lisa and Bowdies!
