Lala's Grill - South Haven

Love Lala's! Small dive bar with awesome food. Try the Lala's burger- a cheeseburger with a mixture of lettuce, onion, tomato, mayo and thousand island dressing on top. So delicious! You may have to wait for a seat. Service can be slow at busy times.

Lala 's used to be great when Lavonne owned it. Now that it 's under new management it has seriously gone downhill. This past Friday 3 of us went for dinner. Our appetizer came approximately 10 minutes AFTER our meal. (We were charged for it, with no apology). A burger specifically ordered as no pink was served very pink. Apparently the server thought that meant Medium and put such on the ticket. Service bordered on rude and we were never even asked if we wanted another drink after our first one. Mind you this occured when perhaps half the restaurant was empty. The whole experience was a disappointment. I 'm sad to say, because Lala 's was always a destination meal when in the area. Not any longer.

This used to be a great spot to get a burger and a beer for a reasonable price. My favorite was the LaLa burger which is now called the Bedrock burger. The lettuce, onion and tomato topping mixed with thousand island dressing used to smother the burger and I would use a knife and fork to eat. The photo of the burger on the site shows how it used to look. Now it has very little topping all hidden under the bun. I would go for this burger at least once per month and told friends all about it so they came to try. I will not be bragging it up anymore. My husband had the chicken sandwich and it was just ok. I'm sad to see the quality go over this past year and a half. Was a great little spot.

Order a grilled cheese and a burger. It took 45 min we were the last people eating at the tables and watched a lot of to go orders come and go. The wait staff was very good but the kitchen needs a lot of help to get things out on time. The food was good if you're not in a hurry.

Happened upon this place on our way home. Great burgers at a fair price, very friendly staff, cozy environment.
