12 Best American Restaurants in Big Rapids

“Always served with a friendly smile. Fantastic food. My favorite lunch spot in BR.“

“I would give them a 4.4 if I could give a true rating. I ordered the patty melt with sweet potato fries. The patty melt was crisp and juicy, the sandwich comes with a tomato balsamic sauce that is absolutely delicious. The sweet potato fries had a nice slight crisp with a light and fluffy interior. My family and I ate outside on their deck and to me you can't ask for more of a perfect setting. You get to watch the Muskegon river as you eat on a beautiful Saturday September afternoon. The only downside is that we weren't offer any refills on our drink at any point of our lunch. But besides that I would highly recommend giving them a stop by if you are hungry.“

“A friend of mine went to school at Ferris and he recommended Schuberg’s Bar and their burgers. I was at Canadian Lakes so I made the trip into Big Rapids. Schuberg’s is a bar downtown. They have an huge list of burger options. I got the bacon cheddar burger and tots. It was all excellent. I will be back.“

“We stopped for dinner in Big Rapids Michigan. Which was close to our hotel we were staying at!

Our server Salina, was very helpful with our dietary needs. Our food was fresh and totally delicious! Thank you all very much for all that you do!

Our dietary needs are to be Gluten and Dairy Free! It can be so hard when we travel!“

“We love to take our out of town visitors to Culver’s.“

“We went there and we ordered delicious food. We saved half of our meal to take home for dinnerr (times are hard out here for a pimp). We left and accidentally forgot our food. Even tho we were just a couple blocks away we called and told them we were coming back. They told us that the dish person may have already taken and cleared the table & may have already thrown it away. My boyfriend kinda joking kinda seriously that they could take it out of the trash if they threw it away lol. The person on the phone told us they did indeed actually throw it away. I was fully expecting to just be shit out of luck. But to my surprise they remade us our sandwich half and packed the container full of new chips. Shout out to our server Tiffany who was warm friendly and attentive to us. We were even waiting outside to give the kitchen enough time to make our sandwich before we went inside to bug them…Tiffany saw us and ran our food outside to us. 15/10 will definitely go again!!!“

“Great food great service great prices!!“

“Breakfast was great! Now that Roses is closed down everyone should move on over a block and eat breakfast here! What the heck lunch and dinner is also fantastic❣️“

“Let me just say this — Danielle is the kind of server that makes you wonder why every place doesn’t have someone like her. From the moment we sat down, she was on it. Drinks came out fast, orders were taken perfectly, and not once did she make a mistake (which is rare these days). She’s quick, efficient, and has this hilarious personality that makes the whole experience way better than just “going out to eat.”

She doesn’t just drop plates and disappear — she checks in at the right times, keeps the energy fun, and honestly feels like she enjoys what she does. That kind of vibe is contagious. My table was laughing, joking, and having a great time, all thanks to her.

And let’s be real — some servers just “do their job.” Danielle owns it. She’s sharp, she’s professional, and she’s got that badass edge that makes her unforgettable. She’s the reason I’d come back to this spot without a doubt.

If management is reading this: Danielle is pure gold. Protect her at all costs.“

“My son treated me to The Blue Cow a little bit ago & recommended the champagne chicken with Risotto & I will definitely get it again! Very good!“
