Dog & The Bank

My best friend and I met here for dinner the other evening and had a wonderful time. All the food we ordered and shared was delicious. I had the lamb, and it was cooked exactly as asked and the squash seasoned to perfection. Can't wait to go back and try other dishes.

Apps were just OK. Oysters on a half shell were fresh but the mignonette sauce was a bit off for my taste. Tomato Tartare was too watery and lacked a binding flavor. But they totally redeemed themselves with the Tomahawk for 2 entree. Perfectly cooked to medium as requested. Nice seasoning and tasty char without the burnt taste. The sides of Mexican street corn and glazed brussel sprouts were both excellent as well. The corn is off the cob and has a sweet front flavor followed by a nice spice. The brussel sprouts glaze was perfect and the bacon chunks sent them over the top.

Birddog people said we have to check out their other restaurant and we finally did. Big kudos to them. I love the fact that they share their patrons. Yes we will always go to Birddog because they are closer and we love everyone there but we really loved all the food we had at Dog & the bank. Host was super accommodating and the waitress Carlhi was really awesome! I hope I’m spelling that right Carlhi. Great service and the food was unique and on point. The calamari has really excellent and loved the Asian flair with shishito peppers. The red grouper was perfectly prepared and decadent! The salmon was perfectly prepared and probably the most delicious salmon I’ve ever had! That’s saying a lot since I’ve have many salmon from all over in Chicago and New York. This place is seriously solid like Birddog! I will be back! Also thank you for offering Flowers Pinot Noir wine. I love that wine and is one of my favorite Pinots!

The only thing better than the design of the building and the great patio, is the absolutely amazing food. We had a burger, the Mac and Cheese, and the street corn. The burger was perfect, and was loaded with flavor. For the sides, the Mac and Cheese and street corn were both amazing. The food, drinks, service, and atmosphere were all top notch. We will definitely be back!

We had a great lunch experience at Dog and The Bank!! Great service, delicious food, and a wonderful atmosphere. Check it out!!

We have been here many times but I don’t think I’ve left a review yet. Every time the food and service are excellent! Their menu is varied so it’s always fun to try something new. But we always start with the crab fried rice…. So delicious!! My husband also usually enjoys a Manhattan with Rye. They don’t take reservations so you may have to get on the waitlist on the weekends but they always try to get you seated in the amount of time they estimate…. Even though people like to hang out and enjoy an after dinner drink or wonderful dessert.

Weekend goals were a good drink and a wonderful meal, expectations completely blown out of the water! Probably the best ribs I have ever had. The Mexican Street Corn was amazing! Outside seating, great music, summer best! Out of a couple of bourbon choices but many others to choose from. Leftovers, lots of leftovers! Don’t miss out on Dog and The Bank!!!!

Went here for my birthday and we were not disappointed. Everything about this place is perfect. The atmosphere is so lively and inviting. Yes, it’s louder than many restaurants in the area, but the buzz of the kitchen, bar, and other patrons makes it feel like you’re in a vibrant city. If you go in knowing that it will be more lively, I think you’ll embrace and enjoy the atmosphere. The owners, chefs, and waitstaff have worked together to curate this experience. The food and service are impeccable. We spoke with the owner and staff for quite a while after our delicious meal. They all have very interesting backgrounds in the service industry, which culminates in the fantastic experience that is the Dog and the Bank. I can’t wait to bring friends and visitors here!

AWESOME FOOD! This was my first time and we came for brunch and it was amazing. We tried 5 different meals and all of them were soooo good. We tried the Dutch baby pancake, Crab Benedict, California Omelet, Little Jerry's sandwich and fingerling potatoes and were not disappointed. I highly recommend if you enjoy great food.

We drove 40 minutes to try Dog & The Bank, and it was well worth it. We tried the oysters and two different steaks, and everything was absolutely wonderful. The filet I had was well seasoned and juicier than other filets from dedicated steakhouses. The restaurant also makes use of local suppliers which is very nice.

The interior of the restaurant is well designed and attractive, but the other reviews mentioning the noise level are unfortunately accurate. It did not significantly detract from the meal but someone with hearing difficulties may struggle to hold a conversation.

I’ve driven by this cute place in the past and finally decided to try it out today for our anniversary! The building and overall esthetic is to die for.. but the food made it even more amazing! We enjoyed a few drinks, dinner, and a lovely chocolate creme brûlée for dessert. We will definitely be back!

Love the atmosphere, you get a refreshed feeling when you walk in, and the staff is friendly. Food was even better, I’ve been there for drink and apps as well as brunch and loved it both times. Love that it’s nearby and you don’t have to drive forever away to find an upscale, different and unique place to eat. 😍

We absolutely love this place. We've eaten here 3 times so far. Everything from the appetizers to the main course is presented very well and tastes fantastic. We came once during their happy hours. Which is when I tried one of their burgers for the first time. Absolutely the best. The price for the burger and the fries great too given the quality and what the nasty fast food places charge these days for a "burger" and fries. Their steaks are fantastic and always cooked to perfection. Wings are amazing. Drinks are great. We've always had fast service. Everyone has been very friendly. My only small complaint is 2 out of 3 times when we've walked in we were looked at right away by several staff members but not greeted by any of them or even acknowledged. They weren't even busy either. Overall I highly recommend coming here.

Today the wife and I decided to try dog in the bank, they had just opened for the day and the server was extremely nice to deal with. As an appetizer we got loaded French fries with blue cheese. This sounds terrible but trust me if you get it you won’t be let down. I ordered the Delmonico ribeye and the flavor was amazing. Perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned and easily top 2 steaks I have had in my life. The wife ordered salmon and again had an amazing crust, GREAT flavor and cooked to actual perfection. For the little town of Plainwell this place is hands down the best food in town.

Food and Service are top notch. One of the best wedge salads I’ve had. Got even better from there with the Red Grouper. Awesome meal. Finished with the raspberry cheesecake and it was fantastic as well.

Very beautifully place food is excellent. Loved the peppered fries. I had the steak sandwich and fries. Wife had the steak burger and chips. Both meals were excellent.would go again.

One of the best dining events in a while. Atmosphere is upbeat and modern. The service was off the charts, our server could not have been more friendly or more attentive. And the food was outstanding. I had the red grouper and my wife had the Ora king salmon. The grouper was one of the best fish dishes I have ever had and my wife's salmon was similarly wonderful. Our friend's food was excellent as well and they were delighted with Dog and the Bank. We WILL be back for sure!

Their food is amazing. My only recommendation is that if you're going to get Brussel sprouts or Mac n cheese, get your own order of them. You won't be able to stop eating it! The portions are definitely share worthy, but it's too good to share!

Beautiful restaurant wirh delicious food snd drinks! The service is top notch with friendly, knowledgeable staff! The summertime spritz is a great, refreshing, summer drink!

Our current favorite in the area. The seasonal dinner, happy hour, and brunch menus are carefully curated and executed with perfect care. Their bar is well supplied and their cocktails are great value. The renovated space is ample and welcoming, facilites clean and the staff and chefs very friendly and will work with you and your party for dietary or special needs. Certainly recommend if you are searching a unique flare of flavors to traditional or original dishes. Also, if you can’t make it to Plainwell check out their Mattawan location.
