We spent a day in Holland last month. We ate and drank at a handful of different places. For dinner we ended up at the New Holland Brewing Co, which is located smack dab in the center of downtown Holland. Holland is a nice little lake-side community just down the road from legendary Oval Beach.
We ate outside - it was about 8pm when we arrived, and we waited 5 minutes for a table to open up. The atmosphere was great - it was busy outside and there were pedestrations walking by constantly. Our server was a really friendly guy, our french fry appetizer didn't come until the main courses came, but he was at least cordial about it and took the fries off of the bill. And the fries were excellent by the way - a huge plate of waffle fries covered in cheese and bacon. You've got to love waffle fries, the caviar of the french fry community.
We had a chicken sandwich and a turkey sandwich, and both were excellent. Great taste, huge portions, fresh veggies, really good bread - both were really solid sandwiches.
Oh yeah, and the beer is very good as well. I had three Existential beers, and I was very happy. It's a higher alcohol content beer, so it's really hoppy and has an aggressive taste, but it still totally drinkable on a warm summer night. I've had Sun Dog and Full Circle in the past, and both are solid beers. Unfortunately New Holland does not brew any non-alcoholic beers, which was a disappointment.
Overall it was a good experience - good weather, sitting outside at a busy restaurant in downtown Holland, surprisingly really good food, interesting beers, and solid service - we'll definitely be back.
