About

The Gilly's you knew has gone up in smoke! The folks at Gilly's have retired their sea legs and traded in their boats for the biggest, baddest smoker in town! Gilly's new menu features the most tender, savory, and aromatic meats in West Michigan. Gilly's chefs are up at the crack of dawn daily to begin slow smoking beef brisket, Amish chicken, pork butt and more. Guests have a choice of 12 rotating craft beers brewed one flight down at B.O.B.'s Brewery. Brewer John's fresh brewed ales pair perfectly with Gilly's smoked meats menu. Stay tuned to our website–Gilly's will have more big announcements coming soon! You can learn more about Gilly's Smokehouse

Rude host, never seated

VERY RUDE HOST - Half the tables open but wouldn’t seat us

Went at 9PM and about 1/2 of the tables were open; small little sign said “please wait to be seated” We waited about 10 minutes for a host to greet us. There was apparently a Trump rally across the street that let out and other...More

Just OK, not impressed

Visited here this past Saturday during ArtPrize. Yes they were very busy. Service was good, food was just OK. I had the brisket burnt ends on Texas toast. Very little brisket, lots of mashed potato and slaw. $14 for this sandwich is stretching it.....
