The Old Goat is a first come, first serve restaurant. If we are not on a Wait, come right on in! If we are on a Wait, The Old Goat will accept party sizes of up to 10 people. Adding your name to our Waitlist is NOT a Reservation! When you add your party's name with our Waitlist link, make sure to Check-In with the Host Stand when you arrive! Our Online Waitlist "Quoted Wait Time" is an estimate. Quoted Wait Times are subject to change based upon the flow of business during peak hours. If you have a party size MORE than 10 people, we ask that you call our store at this number: (616) 288-6976. Ask for the Manager on Duty, and it will be up to the Manager’s discretion whether to accept Walk-In/Waitlist parties of 11+ people. If accepted, the Manager will then add your party’s name to our Waitlist. Walk-in parties of 11+ people will be accepted on a case by case basis, and will be contingent on our current Waitlist of the day. For Walk-In/Waitlist parties of 15 or MORE people, an automatic service charge will be added to the Final Total Bill, and it will be on ONE TOTAL BILL. We will not accept multiple bills for parties of 15 people or more. If you are on our Waitlist, please contact us ASAP if you are going to be late or cancel using the button below. You can text message our Host Stand about any updates you may have.

The Old Goat has been serving the families of Alger Heights and Grand Rapids since 2015. We are your “Dinner and a Show” destination with live music at dinner Monday-Saturday plus late night Friday and Saturday, and during Sunday brunch. We cook from scratch to give you simple honest and seasonal fare with highly seasoned roots, whether dining in or grabbing takeout. In addition to thoughtfully crafted starters, salads, sandwiches, and entrees, we have added Neapolitan pizza and a delicious rotation of soups. Word has also gotten out about our hearty Sunday brunch, which is accompanied by live jazz. Whatever you’re in the mood for, get satisfaction at the Goat!
