Best Beer on Tap in Holland, MI - Edit
New Holland Brewing is a staple of West Michigan. Unfortunately, this location from where the namesake comes is also their worst restaurant for vegan options.
Read moreIf you are familiar with the local beers, you have had a Dragon’s Milk. It’s one of the most iconic drinks in West Michigan, and a personal favorite. If you have not been to New Holland to try it, definitely give it a go. And don’t let the name fool you, there is no actual milk in the drink.
As far as the food goes, Holland is the worst of their locations. There is no vegan entree on the menu. The closest is a vegetarian black bean wrap. They no longer have the black bean burger. Their other locations have more vegan options; I would love to see them here.
I ended up just getting a side of fries and a beer. It was a good beach day for me, so I was having a great time. I just know that this is not a place I will be returning for food.
I recommend New Holland in Holland if you are looking for a good drink. However, for a meal, I would look elsewhere.

Beer is far better than the food - Edit
Pretty typical vegan food offers from a non-veg restaurant, black bean burger, salad, etc.

Really good! - Edit
I had a black bean veggie burger and fries. The patty was crispy and didn’t fall apart like others do. I would recommend this meal!

Bland but doesn't have much competition - Edit
This restaurant is large and has a nice variety of seating, including a large back patio. Apparently, it does get full because the reservations are pretty tightly managed (by helpful and nice staff). The food was...functional. My partner and I both had the vegan black bean burger. There was nothing at all wrong with it, but it was very bland. I chose the cole slaw as a side, and it was also bland--remarkably so. (And, so you can understand the scale, I am not from Michigan, but I am from a different state in the upper Midwest, so this was bland to someone who has eaten a lot of bland meals in my lifetime.) I've tried New Holland's beers before and not found them all that interesting, but compared to the food, my beer was a symphony of flavor.
Read moreOverall, our experience was a good one--nice patio on a beautiful evening, good service, and food that was at least inoffensive. But for the price, next time I think I'll try harder to find an alternative.
Pros: Craft beers, Large patio, Good service
Cons: Bland, boring food

Best black bean burger I’ve ever had - Edit
I might have just been super hungry, but I’m getting another one today. Be sure to demand some vegan beer when your there (they don’t have any) but they can change with proper demand!

Delicious Black Bean Farro Burger - Edit
Not many places are open on Sundays, so the wait is long. We ended up ordering online to pick up from the New Holland Brewing Co Store. We enjoyed our delicious black bean farro burgers & kettle chips in a nearby park.

I like the vegan supreme - Edit
New menu has a grain bowl and Beyond Burger, and a Vegan Supreme pizza. I had the pizza and loved it. Really scratched my pizza itch. Beer is good too of course. Very crowded though, being a tourist magnet, hard to get seating and workers seem stressed
Read morePros: Vegan supreme pizza is good, Beer is excellent
Cons: Crowded, kind of frantic feel., I miss the Spelt Burger

This is fine. - Edit
Ordered a pizza called "vegan supreme" where it listed non-dairy cheese on the menu and received a pizza with cheese that was clearly dairy... We felt super guilty sending it back because we hate wasting food, especially when it's animal-based, but we also were worried of becoming sick if we ate it. Aside from being served a moral dilemma, our server was nice about it and only charged us half price and gave us free chips. The corrected pizza was pretty good - not super memorable but a decent bite. Seeing the other comments on here, it's a little scary how they seem to commonly mistake putting dairy cheese on their food that's marked vegan...
Read morePros: Friendly staff
Cons: Not sure if they understand veganism

Getting better - Edit
Hub (omni) and I went before thanksgiving and the menu had changed. In addition to their improved hummus appetizer, they had a really good homemade veggie burger with a clearly stated vegan mayo on it. There was also a tempeh dish, but I'm def not a fan. That said, there were many other options for veg heads, and with vegan mayo available, maybe it's possible to veganize other dishes.

Some Vegan Options - Edit
Went there tonight and pleasantly surprised to see 2 Tempeh sandwiches on the menu. One was the Rueben and the other a burger. I ordered the Rueben but had to hold the swiss cheese and sauce. The waitress was alert enough to tell me the sauce wasn't vegan when I asked if there was a vegan "cheese" substitute. She brought some French's mustard and I was happy. My question is why would there be a partial vegan sandwich with Tempeh? If they're trying to have vegan options, make the whole sandwich vegan, no? Maybe just trying to make a vegetarian happy... but now time to go the extra mile for us vegans..Anyway, glad to see some vegan options even if they needed to be tweaked.
Read morePros: Tempeh sandwich, Good atmosphere, Friendly staff
Cons: No vegan cheese

Nothing vegan - Edit
This is just like any other restaurant. You could try to create a vegan meal by asking a lot of questions and requesting modifications. I see no reason it should be on this site.

Not very vegan friendly. - Edit
No menu items marked vegan. They didn't seem to have a clear idea of what vegan was. We had to send back three sandwiches because they came with cheese.

A decent bite if you are around - Edit
Like other reviewers mentioned, it is not the best place to go in terms of selection of vegetarian choices. However, even one choice is better than nothing. The food is tasty and the service is decent. The terrace is definitely the best spot to be in, especially during the summer months.
Read moreCons: Not a wide selection

Some love for New Holland Brewing - Edit
It's vegetarian friendly - not exactly vegan friendly. It's a student hangout often populated by the city's youth from nearby Hope College. It's hip and trendy and offers a sandwich called the "treehugger" which is described as a "vegetarian utopia." It was pretty good - same goes for the (perhaps too) generously season tabbouleh.
Read moreLike the reviewer below mentions, it is a great place to people watch. There is a nice sidewalk terrace open during the warm months. Service is fair and very friendly.
If you are hungry and in downtown Holland then this is the place to grab a bite. It's in the heart of the action, mere steps from JP's (a good cafe), Lemonjello's (another good, more youthful cafe) and many unique stores.
Pros: Location, Friendly, Holland, MI is a really cute city
Cons: Limited options, Not vegan friendly

A few 'can be made vegan' choices - Edit
Nothing vegan on the menu other than chips and salsa and fries or an overpriced hummus plate which you can pay extra for to add fresh veggies. Salads, some pizzas, a hummus sandwich, and a portobello burger can be ordered without cheese. That's about it. Side orders of tabouli and veggies are offered...the taboulli was terrible. Service was slow, but very friendly. Being a downtown brewing company, it seems to be a hotspot. Lively atmosphere=deafening roar. Honestly, it was unpleasantly loud in there although it made for a great people-watching spot. We were underwhelmed and frustrated by the noise and slow service for the price.
Read moreHowever, they were willing to make some substitutions and we had a hummus sandwich with tabouli and a cheeseless pizza. It was a meal, but nothing special. You're better off exploring a chinese or mexican restaurant on the outskirts of Holland, stay away from the downtown if you want to eat vegetarian or vegan.
Pros: Best option in downtown Holland
Cons: Not actually a good option..., Very loud, not relaxing
