“Yesterday was my first time eating here and the food was amazing! As someone who has had celiac disease for over a decade and had never eaten at a 100% gluten free restaurant, the experience was surreal. 🥹 To be able to look at a menu and order anything I wanted was an incredible feeling. The food was delicious and staff were very friendly! I am so thankful to have had this experience and I will be back soon! (Also, I highly recommend the mozzarella sticks❤️)“

“A friend and I enjoyed breakfast today at Anna's House.Our server, Patty, took very good care of us! Her service, and our food were Fantastic. One comment though, my friend didn't get the chocolate chips on his pancakes that he ordered, but that was easily fixed when Patty brought a container of them and a dish of whipped cream as well. We enjoyed our food and the service was top notch.Thank you Anna's House, and Thank You Patty!☺️“

“thanks 🙏🏽 the family is doing good“

“Massive value and super positive service!

- Double Hamburger (with cheese) - $5.89 + 0.50: VERY delicious and huge (quarter for scale)! Worth every penny and then some.

The patty is about a quarter pound each and is medium quality. It is juicy and seasoned with salt just right. The cheese was forgotten originally, but was corrected. The burger was so hot that the cheese had no problem melting after being covered with the foil and was my favorite part (despite the mistake).

The toppings are good, but the lettuce was just a tad wilted. The sauces were in just the right proportions, too. The only two things I’d change are more preferences and very minor. I’m not a big fan of sesame seed buns. Also, the lettuce would be better shredded.

- Fries: Purchased separately by my daughter and I did not get the price. They were smaller to medium cut and cooked to perfection (and hot!). The texture was spot with a cripy outside and fluffy inside. They were seasoned with salt.

- Service: Some of the best service I’ve had in a long time. They were SUPER positive and greet everyone cheerfully. This is probably their best asset, but definitely not the only one. They love what they do and are really engaged.

- Atmosphere: Old diner kind of feel but without the frills. Just your average place. It was clean on the inside. Even then, the staff was going around checking to make sure it was kept clean. The outside looks a bit run down, but the inside is plenty welcoming and ready for anything.

Also note that it looks like they have old style service at your car, but that is actually just parking. They do have a picnic table under the roof, though. It could be nice in the summer (I visited in winter, HA HA).

- Conclusion: It was probably the best money I spent on a burger in a long time. I’d go back in a heartbeat.

Visited on a Saturday at 3pm.

Parking: Decent amount of parking. The loop around the back for the drive-thru was tight, uneven, and needs repair.“

“I love Russ' - it is a nice, local chain with very good food, friendly staff, and a quiet atmosphere. I come here about 2-3 times a month to eat breakfast and work on my Bible Study. They are consistent in food prep, my coffee is always being refilled, and I have gotten to know the servers pretty well. Overall one of my favorite places to eat!“

I will be back 10/10 amazing group of people! plus I love their style!“

“Delicious quick snacks and great customer service! I highly recommend them.“

“Great food, awesome service, and wonderful prices. Stopped by for a quick lunch and returned the following day for breakfast. Will definitely be back next time we are in town.“

“Went for breakfast at 8:00 a.m. and was able to be seated right away. This is a great place to go if you don't like surprises. It has standard breakfast choices. Prices are normal. Food is pretty good. Coffee is middle of the road. Portion sizes are average. Service and cleanliness are top notch.

So if you are looking for a dive, this isn't your place. If you are looking for something creative and eclectic, this is not your place. If you're looking for generic food in a generic setting, this is your place.“

“Seen a post about them and decided to try them out and I’m happy I did! They are very nice and the food is very good! Definitely recommend, it’s worth a try.“

“Fantastic food!!!! Would highly recommend and will definitely be back soon!!! The staff was really friendly and welcoming. Best catfish I've ever had hands down and I am very picky about my catfish. The fried chicken ..... Sweet baby Jesus delicious. Everything was great!!! Love you guys keep up the awesome work!!“

“I had a great lunch here today, excellent service, Alicia B was super and knowledgeable of the menu items.My Arugula and Butternut squash salad was very delicious. Even the ladies room is very nicely decorated and makes you happy you stopped in there.Very nice place to go, they pay attention to details,and it shows!I would recommend this nice restaurant to anyone!“

“Hands down best place I’ve been in GR for breakfast. Super friendly staff cook super hot and fast. No long waiting period. Also really cool place to eat and chill.“

“I absolutely LOVE Electric Cheetah! The food and drinks are always amazing, I would highly recommend their fries!!! It’s a great place to go if you want a casual restaurant with amazing food!“

“I will forever give this place high praise. Someone stole our daughters brand new tablet when we were not looking and the staff immediately jumped into action and found and confronted the thief and got it back to us. Mark (one of the employees) spearheaded the whole thing. Also the food was fantastic as always“

“The turkey Cran delight was DELISH-!!! and the team is always friendly“

“I did the drive thru only and didn't go inside the restaurant. I tried to use the app twice but for unknown reasons I was unable to place my order thru it. Other than that I was pleased with the food which I received within 5 minutes of placing my order.“

“The food was decent overall, but nothing extraordinary. The pasta was well-cooked, though the sauce lacked depth. Service was polite but slow—we waited nearly 20 minutes for our drinks. The ambiance is cozy but a bit noisy. An okay spot if you're nearby, but not worth a special trip.“

“whenever I have doctor's appointments in downtown Grand Rapids, my hubby always asks me to get food from here. he used to live close to it and misses it SOOOOO much. So, we had some money today and I headed straight there to get me some GOOD fried chicken and perch. parking can be a pain, but it's definitely worth the wait and hassle. I also think it's soooo cool that they remember my boyfriend, by name, when I showed him a picture of us, and it's been a good 3 years since he has been there physically.“

“I adore this place! One of very few places that has food better than 'Moms'!“

“Great food and wait staff. The hostess needs some major training. She does greet you or make you feel welcome. No personality and not one smile.“

“Our server Lindsey was amazing. she went above and beyond! she was very friendly and kind! I would highly recommend Red G on Byron rd, ASK for Lindsey!“

“Sports Center Cafe isn't just a cafe. It isn't just a bar. It isn't just a place you take your family and feel at home. Sports Center Cafe is a uniquely experimental hybrid art installation that makes you leaving want more. Hell yea. I would die for Sports Center Cafe.“

“We enjoy the quality and preparation of the food. Today we enjoyed a classic Reuben and an Irish Benedict. Both yummy! The restaurant was almost empty at lunchtime. We were so surprised and talked with two of the waitresses. I hope business picks up soon for you all!“
