“It was our second time in and we will be back! The NY strip steak dinner special for was delicious. The Mr said it was the best steak he's had in a long time. You can tell they use quality ingredients. Good, fresh food is always a win for us!!“

“Wow! I went back to the Big Boy in Cedar Springs after staying away for a long time, and guess what? It was way better this time. It felt like finding out Santa really DID bring you the good candy. The best part? They have a breakfast buffet. A real one! Those are super rare now, like spotting a reindeer in the wild. But Big Boy has it, and they keep it filled up with fresh food. The whole place looked cleaner too—nice floors, tidy tables, everything looking happy. On my first plate, I grabbed all the yummy classics: • Thick French toast with warm syrup (it tasted like a hug!) • A pancake with sweet cinnamon apples on top • Crispy bacon • Sausage links • Scrambled eggs The French toast was the star—golden and soft and perfect. The pancake was a little old, but the apples made it taste great anyway. The meats were tasty too, just not super hot. On my second plate, I went for the savory stuff: • Fried potatoes • More scrambled eggs • Polish sausage • More bacon and sausage • And then… SAUSAGE GRAVY ON TOP! (Yes, please!) The gravy was rich and peppery and made everything taste extra cozy. Some of the food was a little cool, though. And I saw a pan of cheesy hash browns that looked very burnt—like “left in the oven since last Christmas” burnt. The server was friendly and checked on me just enough—like a good elf who knows when you need more chocolate milk. All in all, this Big Boy is back to being a great place for a big, simple, happy breakfast. The buffet is fun, the place is cleaner, and the staff is kind. If they keep the food a little hotter and swap out old items faster, it’ll be even better. If you love breakfast buffets, this one is worth a visit. Smiling’s my favorite, and breakfast buffets might be my second favorite!“

“We took our family the other night. Great location, delicious food, and fair prices. But what really stood out to me was the staff. Great customer service!! Polite, eye contact, checking in with all guests to see how the experience was or if anyone needed refills. The cook was hustling and doing an amazing job. These young people were outstanding! This will be a go to for us.“

“get a manager that owns up to poor service. waited too long to place our order. waited way too long -over an hour- for 3 meals which we ended up taking as carry out had to ask for a manager and she never came to our table. all while watching those sat after us getting served. i get things happen....i don't get blatant lack of professionalism in management. i always look to support local. thankfully i have other options in Rockford.“

“Food was great but very cold inside, We could not even take off coats to eat comfortably.
We ended up eating quickly and leaving due to the temperature inside the restaurant.
Customers around us were also wearing their coats.“

“I had my first visit to Evergreen Inn for breakfast this a.m. I ordered the breakfast tacos(1 of each sausage, bacon, and ham). Delicious!!! fast, friendly service. clean, spacious setting. would highly recommend 😊 we will be back.“

“If you’re over in the Grand Rapids/Rockford area, definitely go check out the Corner Bar, Rockford Michigan. I was there to take in their coney dog challenge, but my wife and daughter’s food was amazing too. My daughter who NEVER finishes her plates completely devoured her pulled pork pasta. Super fun atmosphere and the staff was great. Also a HUGE selection of root beer and local beers on tap. We are from the greater Lansing area, but plan on definitely making the trip west again to try other amazing looking things on their menu.“

“Went to peppermill this morning for breakfast and it was a 10/10 from service to food!! Thanks for the great start to our morning!!“

“stopped into Grill 111 after work this week for the first time, and it definitely won’t be my last! I had the filet, and it was absolutely amazing — perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. The staff was friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. Great atmosphere, excellent service, and incredible food. Highly recommend Grill 111 if you’re looking for a great meal in Rockford!“

“Great meal, excellent service!! 👍“

“Delicious well done! On a pretzel bun! Side of sweet potato fries was delicious! ‘Q’ (Quentin) was a delight as our server! He is very professional and engaging! Thanks Q!“

“On our way to Grand Rapids, we decided to stop and eat someplace local. Using Google maps we usually choose a brewery and this one was amazing. First, let’s talk about the beer. It was incredibly tasty. They have a lot of options. Something for every palette. Next up the food… Fricking AMAZING!!! My husband had the French dip… It’s his go to when we’re eating at a place that has a lot of sandwiches on the menu. He said it was the best French dip he has ever had. That is high praise. I had the pork belly BLT and the aïoli so good. It was a phenomenal experience for such a quick late afternoon lunch. Thank you so much for taking good care of us“
