Marlena's Bistro and Pizzeria

Won’t come back. Waitress had orders wrong. Took 45 min to get food. When I did get it. It was cold. They put a slice of cheese on my scrambled eggs. Weird. Menu seemed awesome. Lots of variety. But they need young waitresses that can remember and keep up maybe. Idk. Has potential Also forgot to mention the hair that I found in my pancake that I immediately gave back to the waitress. If I were you I would not come here

I enjoy eating at Marlena's in Holland. She serves some of the best food in Holland and the portions are great for the cost. The whole staff makes you feel welcome from the time you enter till you leave. Your bigger chain restaurants don't. Your just another dollar to them not a customer. Service is great. If you've never eaten there I recommend you do you'll not leave disappointed.

Great place for good food. I know the staff are supposed to be polite to everyone, but the waitress young lady really is very kind, does a superb job, and I can tell that she really cares about the people she serves. Refreshing to find people like that these days.

Worst customer service from any business I've ever had to deal with. I placed an order to try Malena's for the first time thru Door dash. When the order came it was the wrong order. Not the drivers fault. Marlena wrote my name on the bag so the driver would know which order was mine. He had two orders to deliver. When I called to complain, Marlena answered the phone and told me it was Door Dash's fault and to complain to them. The blame wasn't on Door dash, the driver gave me what she said was mine! I asked her for a refund and she told me I could come pick up my order myself and she would give me $10 for gas. I told her that wasn't good enough and she said fine just come pick up your food and I will give you a refund. It wasn't about the gas it is about the convenience of not having to pick up a food order on a Saturday morning. When I got to her restaurant to pick up my new order not only did she only offer me the $10 in gas but hadn't even started preparing my food yet. So as I sit here and wait for my food to be cooked I'd figured I would leave a review of what I feel this business is worth. Zero Stars if I could for lack of accountability on her part and now I'm scared to eat the food because Lord knows what they've done to it. I don't even think I will give it to my dog. She basically threw $27 at me when my order was $43 and told me that was the best she could do. I can only imagine what she was saying to doordash to try and get some of her money back. I would much rather wait an hour in line at the Windmill restaurant for a good tasting healthy breakfast than ever have to deal with this place of business again. And the inside is really filthy. Edit - Once I got home and checked the order. It was still wrong!!! Missing hash browns on one breakfast and no cheese on the other! This place and that woman are a JOKE!

My husband and I are truckers and was passing through. We decided to try this place cause the food looked good in the pics. Honestly, it just didn’t taste good to me. Oh well.

Great family run business in Holland. A fantastic meal at a reasonable price. Great hostess and always great service with a smile. Parking: Parking is always available.

Like a restaurant review should be I will be leaving out all politics and focusing purely on food and service I was excited to see that Marlenas Bistro did all food during open hours, I got the beef burrito and it was below average but still edible, the beef was pretty bland and the majority of the flavor came from the sauce which was dominated by a salty taste. The server who I’m assuming is also the owner didn’t check up on me during the meal despite only having 2 other tables 3 people besides me. There was also a high pitched ringing going on and I’m not sure where it was coming from, now everyone else in the restaurant was above 50 so I’m guessing their ears couldn’t pick it up, no biggie. While I was excited to try out an all day lunch place I doubt I will return.

Came here for breakfast with a beloved aunt who wanted to check out the notoriety of this place and the owner linked to the covid shutdown backlash. What we found was a classic diner with nice people enjoying communing together over coffee. It was the day after the 22 midterms and no one cared about our politics. I will come back.Food: 4/5

I honestly don't care about any history of the owner there and their restaurant but their breakfast slaps very good food I would really consider giving this place another try

Great experience! The atmosphere was welcoming, food was great and friendly service. I will definitely be back.
