New American Restaurants near Byron Center, MI

“Came to our rescue at the last minute as we needed a place for a rained out birthday party for 20+ people! Denise and her crew were so understanding, helpful and accommodating, all as we invaded their busy lunchtime! Good food and service! Highly recommend 🎉“

“We always have a fantastic time when we show up for supper. The beer is cold and no matter what food you order, it's always good. The entertainment is spot on, and no matter if know the people around you are friends before you go home.“

“My girls and I tried out Anna’s House in Byron Center this week as we’ve been anticipating it’s opening all year! It did not disappoint. The girls loved the pancakes and waffles, I enjoyed the avacado toast and our waitress Kyra was very friendly and helpful! The girls say 5 stars! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“This was my first time at this restaurant and I can say that the food was very good . Braylin C was my server and she was nice and gave great recommendations from the drink menu. Things was busy so there was a bit of wait but Braylin made sure I was good“

“My husband has Celiac Disease. He loves your Restaurant and the food is so good! And safe for him! Thank you!! 🩷“

“This place is so cute. It sits right on the lake, has delicious food and the service was great!“

“Love the diner feel. The food is amazing, fast. the staff super friendly. We will definitely be back.“

“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 absolutely love this place .. great customer service reasonable prices. Fast service 10/10 ⭐️“

“Food and service was excellent Bartender Christopher was excellent Drinks were amazing as well Vanilla sky, espresso Yoself, tin something c at remember , all good We had the deviled eggs, bbq sliders, fish and chips and the duck 🦆 eggrolls“

“Anna’s House checks all the boxes. Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere. And when they make a mistake—because everyone does—they make it right. I’ve not had a bad dish there but am especially fond of the Southwest Eggs Benny.“

“Amazing food and fun atmosphere. We'll be back!“

“Friendly people, great service, the food is delicious. Like it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Good value and a great burger with fries!

- Burger - $13.99: The beef patty was juicy and delicious! Nothing much for special flavor, but just done right! It seemed less messy than normal and not dripping everywhere as far as the patty. I asked for it to be cooked medium and it was cooked slightly below that, but I like it a little lighter anyway.

The pretzel bun was the same price as the other choices, so that was a no brainer. It was dense and yet soft and chewy. The toppings were well balanced and yet caused the pieces to slide around a bit. I was able to keep it together, but I had a bit of a mess because of this.

Overall, I HIGHLY recommend the burger. Probably one of my top bracket choices in the Grand Rapids area especially because it is a bit cheaper than many others like it. Great value!

- Fries: The fries were amazing. Great texture with the slightly less tough exterior and fluffy interior. The batter added an amazing flavor, too! Another highly recommended aspect of my visit. The fries came with the burger.

My friend tagged along and had the following:

- Cuban - $12.99: The dill pickle and mustard were a great mix and well balanced.

- Tater Tots: A dryer and crispier variety, though not uncommon for many other restaurants. I prefer softer tots, but these were fine. They were served plenty warm! The tots came with the Cuban.

- Caesar Salad - $3.99: Fairly good price for a salad and no complaints.

- Service: It was slow going at first. Took a while to get the water and enter our order. But once the order was made, it came fairly quickly. Everything was as ordered and she handled everything right, just a tad on the slow side. Maybe they were a bit under staffed that night?

- Atmosphere: It is a typical sports bar/restaurant feel. Lots of TVs with sports on (it’s in the name of the place). The is a bar with stools, but there would be little problem having kids there. There were some kids when we stopped by and they had booster seats and high chairs.

- Conclusion: I would definitely have no problem recommending this place based on the food! The website’s menu was outdated and I am posting this with an updated menu. The burger was a dollar more expensive than I was expecting from the website menu. Still a great value, though! They have plenty of great lunch deals and happy hour prices.

Visited on a Thursday at 4:30pm.

Parking: Not a ton right at the restaurant, but the shared parking lot had enough room for us to park a bit further back.“

“I had a great experience at Olives tonight. Everyone from the hostess (Elise) to our waitress (Emily) exemplified great customer service. A couple of my favorites were the brussel sprouts and the lychee drink. We will be back!“

“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!“

“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.“

“all the waitresses are so friendly in grandville“

“Delish!!!! I was there not just having lunch but asking for gift certificate donation for our Harvest party winners at church this Saturday!“

“The food was good but the bill did not reflect the prices on the menu. My dish had $15 on menu, I was charged $17. Drinks had $3.25, I was charged $4.00 each for both and it was in alcohol category.“

“Such a very cool and exciting space right in Breton village. Many vegan and dairy free options available for my lactose intolerant stomach to digest, which makes me VERY happy. The walls and decor and overall vibe are so eccentric and inviting.the siracha honey glaze on the pretzel sticks are absolutely delicious as was the southwest chicken bowl and the vegan donut sundae. Definetley worth coming in and checking out if you haven't tried it!“

“such good food and friendly environment!“

“Great dinner tonight. We ordered boneless & traditional wings. Their Tatotots are huge & delicious. This is the only place we go for our wings.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Good food would recommend“

“Subs are seriously delicious, especially grilled ones with the multigrain bread. I don't really care for the interior of the place, just another food shop that feels kinda empty for some reason, but I always get take out so it never matters.“

“I often don’t write reviews but this is very deserved besides the very good service from here the bowls are amazing neither chipotle, qdoba, or sweetgreen can come close to this place there bowls are very unique and very good for anyone on a diet“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Everything was great!!!

This was our party of 3 first time dining at a BJs Restaurant and Brewhouse and will definitely be returning!!
We were traveling for work, exhausted and starving. Sometimes dining later in the evening can be hit or miss but not at BJs!! We received excellent service and fresh, delicious meals!
The service was attentive and welcoming, adding to the brewery/sports bar atmosphere.
Their drink selection is impressive, with delicious options that cater to every taste.
The menu is wonderfully diverse, featuring something for everyone, from hearty entrees to lighter bites.
We tried the mozzarella sticks which taste hand breaded and fresh, spinach artichoke dip, French dip, club and Philly sandwiches- all delicious! And for dessert we were spoiled with a free dessert for joining their dining club at zero cost!
Everything we tried was fantastic, and you can tell quality is a priority here. If you’re looking for a great spot to unwind with good food and drinks, BJ’s Brewery is a must-visit!“
