Great food
Diner Review * Jun 25, 2013
A great surprise! Delicious and unique menu. I ordered the calamari steak sandwich with onion rings. Perfectly cooked and tender; rings exceptional.
Table of 8 all had great food; hamburg, hanger steak kabob, fish tacos, macaroni & cheese, filet, chicken pasta
Highly recommended.. Parking in the rear.

I love this place. I was skeptical when we first moved nearby because it says on the outside that it is a "dive bar" but the food in here is absolutely amazing. I'd highly recommend the Hanger Steak, the Buffalo Chicken Dip, the Nachos, the Fish Tacos, and their Summer Salad. Â Â
The food is all prepared beautifully and full of flavor, so it feels like an upscale restaurant and not a dive bar! Also their patio in the summer has cute lights hanging from the ceiling so it has a fun atmosphere. There are apparently live bands on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays but I have yet to visit on one of those nights. I'll post a tip about it if I do!
Itty Bitty is a BIG find. The quality of the food reminds me of the fine dining eateries in Silicone Valley. You can't go wrong with the Chef's Special, no matter what it is. The steak was outstanding, perfectly cooked and seasoned. I'll be making this a regular when visiting Holland.
Review Source:My husband has played live here in his band so I have been here 3 times because of that :)
The food is high quality and quite good, for a bar. (it needs some TLC-new bathrooms and decor :)
It has become "the place" to hang out AND eat in Holland...it's typically packed and people are always having a good time dancing, eating and hanging out! The staff is fun and friendly.
They could add more vegetarian/vegan options to the menu!
I highly recommend checking it out.
FYI- The main parking lot can get really full on a busy night. There's overflow parking across the street...
"Five Star Dive Bar" is a great description. Â The chef is indeed right up there with the best and I've lived in NYC and LA and travel a lot. Â The Lobster Mac is always a winner. Mussels, all kinds of interesting salads. Â By far my favorite place in Holland when there to visit my Mom or college friends.
Review Source:Cute atmosphere with an outdoor bar and amazing food. A real surprise! The crab sandwich and the burger were the best restaurant food I've had in months. The fried green tomatoes and the shrimp queso were also well executed. Well worth a visit...especially since they're open on Sunday! The one downside was the warm white wine, but I can't complain since they discounted our bill just to make up for the slightly slow service. I would definitely take friends here!
Review Source:Being from Chicago and now West Olive we were intrigued by the comments but also got a recommendation from our builders sub contractor who is doing some painting for us. We tried the bone marrow appetizer and it's very rich so good for sharing. I had the pork shank with mango and sweet potato cake and it was awesome. My wife had the meat loaf with roasted garlic, she was very pleased. Atmosphere is casual but the food quality is near fine dining level without the high price. Check this place out instead of downtown Holland and you won't be disappointed!
Review Source:Very impressed with the Itty Bitty. Â It has a very interesting menu - far from the usual fare found at most restaurants in this price category -for example, Â bone marrow appetizer (which I did not try). Â I had the veggie pizza which was loaded with goodies like fresh mushrooms, artichokes, fresh tomatoes, spinach, red onion all on a very thin, crispy crust, similar to the now closed Via Maria from where the chef came. Â Their BLT is bacon, fried green tomatoes and arugula served on a folded pita. Â
Their patio seating is a huge plus - even though it's a little noisy from traffic along Ottawa Beach. Â I would recommend expanding their beers on tap - only 4 I believe. Â For us non-microbrew people, a choice other than Bud Light would be appreciated. Â All in all, I highly recommend this place.
I think the Itty bitty bar is always a fun time. Â I usually stop in early evening with friends for dinner and drinks. Â They recently just changed there menu and everything I have tried is awesome. Â They are giving it the name Five star dive bar and I think that fits the description perfectly. Â The other night I had the special which was Ahi tuna with grilled summer squash, paired with a risotto and goat cheese cake that was slightly fried on the outside. Â This meal was amazing! Â A few of my other favorite things on the new menu are the chicken and waffles with a blueberry bourbon maple syrup (not healthy I know, but amazingly good), Lobster mac and cheese, along with a very nice goat cheese and apple salad. You should all check it out whether it be for just a cocktail or dinner and drinks!
p.s. They have done some revamping on the inside since the no smoking ban...looks a lot better!!
