Where do I start? The food, the vibe, the waitstaff and the price point was just ideal. We came for a weekend in Saugatuck and we ended up eating three of our meals at Pumpernickels. They are a new place and they really work hard to make their customers happy. We had lunch twice and dinner once and everything we ate was delicious and well prepared. I can't recommend them enough. If it's crowded, the food may be a bit slow, but the people are so nice that it's okay and, hey, restaurants in resort towns run into situations like that. The food was still excellent. Highly recommended.

Allison is absolutely amazing. She greeted us outside while we were looking at the menu. When we said we were just looking, she said, "Well, hopefully you'll be back!". After looking at lots of other places, we came back and are so glad we did. Everything was awesome. I loved watching her greet people coming in, while making drinks & serving everyone with a smile. The food was great, too (could have used more Naan bread, though) and the atmosphere was lovely. I really enjoyed the playlist, too. Awesome place- keep doing what you're doing.

My wife and I ate here twice in 2 days. Brunch was awesome! Candied bacon hash was outstanding! The biscuits and gravy my wife had were savory and rich! The second visit for dinner was nothing short of spectacular! Scallops were so good! My wife got pasta, said it matched the food she had in Italy. My ribeye was the best I ever had. The sauce was so flavorful and the potatoes blew my mind. The Chef came out to check on us. It was pretty cool to see someone care enough to make time to speak to us directly. Overall, cant wait till next season to come back!
