Bowdie’s Chophouse

Bowdies never disappoints. Excellent presentation, their food tastes better than it looks, and it looks incredible.

We stayed for the weekend and found this gem. We sat at the bar and Laurence our bar tender/server was fabulous. The food wasnt too shabby either.

Me and my family frequent Bowdies quite often. I have brought several of my family members here from out of town over the years. For the most part we have received great food and service, but our last couple visits have been going downhill with a lack of attention to detail and food quality and our most recent visit to Bowdies in East Grand Rapids, Michigan was by far the worst and may be our last. My husband and I went to Bowdies March 26, 2024 to celebrate our anniversary and the food was not at all good. We ordered a steak medium that came out well done on most pieces, and even burnt on the edges of some pieces, flavorless au gratin potatoes, cold mushrooms and tiny portion of Brussels and belly. We instantly alerted the waiter to our problem of overcooked steak to which he offered his opinion that it was close to medium except for 75% of the steak which was clearly well done. To that he offered us some Salt and pepper. My husband suggested a new steak be cooked. The manager, Emma came over to our table with somewhat of a blank stare. She didnt really say why she stopped by, but we assumed she was coming to rectify the situation, or to at least find out what the issue was. We began to explain the mishaps of the evening with our food. And she nodded her head. At that point, our waiter, Manny, came over and told her he had everything under control, and she replied, Oh OK, hes handling you guys and walked away. She never came back to see if everything turned out OK she never came back to see if we were content at all. No apology was offered, just no action as a manager. She passed us 4 times with no reaction or concern. The second round of food was much better, not great. The steak was MAJORITY fat and we order their steaks all the time. As we left, we found Emma by the bar, drinking, which maybe would have been fine had she handled us appropriately as guests. Needless to say, I will not be coming back here or recommending anyone to spend their money (Bowdies is not exactly cheap) when the service and food has gone so far down the drain.
