A Skilled Physician,
A Passionate Cook.

Dr. Rolf Hissom is a skilled, dedicated physician who has delivered top-notch health care to both the Spring Lake & Muskegon communites for over 25 years. He has a similar passion for culinary excellence. His recipes have been influenced by his Appalachian upbringing. Dr. Rolf's Barbeque aspires to deliver quality food to the Spring Lake & Muskegon community.

Dr. Rolf's Barbeque Origins

Dr. Rolf and Judy have raised five children together. During those 28 years, they had many opportunities to share their passion for food and hospitality with their community, friends, and family. This passion and new season of life has afforded them the opportunity to open their own restaurant.

Rolf & Judy

While Dr. Rolf has long had a passion for BBQ, his wife, Judy, has been his most ardent advocate. So when the time came to turn their dream of owning a restaurant into a reality, Judy stepped up to take the lead. She's promoted their BBQ at scores of community events over the years, so developing Dr. Rolf's Barbeque restaurant in downtown Muskegon was second nature for her. Their success has been such that they are now proud to have opened a second location in Spring Lake in May of 2024.

Located on the waters of Spring Lake

Located where Spring Lake meets the mighty Grand River, on the the same land once owned by the Cutler & Savidge Lumber Company (and more recently Old Boy's Brewing.) Since 1869, Spring Lake has been a popular summer destination for those seeking rest and relaxation. A getaway for outdoor enthusiasts and water lovers alike. We're delighted to be a part of the lively community spirit found in the Village of Spring Lake.
