“The calamari was perfect, the mussels were average, the crab cakes were good but all finely shredded no lump crab, some what disappointed with that. Salmon was perfect, tartar sauce just ok,( we like a more tart sauce with fresh dill, capers, and pickles) as was the green beans and rice. Great Caesar salad and dinner rolls. Samantha our waitress was spectacular. We would definitely go back again.“
“Went to Real Seafood Co for the first time with some friends on ours. My wife is not a seafood fan, but was able to find several good options on the menu. The food was amazing! The Parmesan Crusted Yellowtail Tuna was fantastic! Appetizers, cocktails and desert were also delicious! The over experience was great. Our waiter, Micah was ver y attentive to our needs, explained the menu to us and made suggestions, and did an amazing job throughout our meal. Can’t wait to go again!“
“I was looking for an Asian restaurant in this area, and came upon Umi Sushi on Google maps. When I drove up to the building, it looked out of date... But don't judge a book by its cover! This place was lovely on the inside. Very open, and had rather zen decor and atmosphere. We also enjoyed the TVs displaying food items from their menu (what a great idea to get customers hungry, haha! It worked)Our waitress, Zippora, was wonderful!! She was very personable yet professional, and asked us at least twice while eating the meal, once during dessert how everything was. Granted, on a Sunday afternoon it wasn't too busy, but she had plenty of things to do and still did an excellent job attending to us.I mentioned before ordering that I had a gluten intolerance, and right away Zippora said she would be certain whatever I ordered would be made gluten free. She brought me GF soy sauce without me even asking! I haven't received such understanding from a waitress concerning allergies like this very often!(10/10 recommend the Bumblebee roll and the mango ice cream mochi. )Overall a fantastic experience, I look forward to a return trip!“
“The food was phenomenal! The atmosphere excellent, however our server was "NOT GREAT", I don't remember his name but his excuse for poor service ( we had to flag him down EVERYTIME we needed something, he never once stopped by to ask how the food was or if we needed anything. I will definitely go again as I'm sure it was just a fluke and I just happen to get one bad server so I will give it another go but the food was Top Shelf and the atmosphere was perfect“
“Highly underrated! The best Birria in Grand Rapids. I recommend the Quesabirria! Best bang for your buck. Their Birria Ramen is also phenomenal and mouth watering. One of my favorite places in Grand Rapids. Super friendly staff /owners. Please support an amazing family company.“
“We made reservations for my 50th birthday for 1 PM and arrived a half hour early and were seated right away. The decor was wonderful and obviously an ocean theme which my daughter loved. We ordered the boneless wings, hot crab dip and oysters on the half shell for myself. Everything arrived perfectly plated and was delicious. The oysters were amazing and one of my favorite things to eat. The bartender recommended the Son of the Sea cocktail and it was perfectly balanced and I don’t drink often but would definitely order this again. My girls loved the Mocktails as well. When it was time to order the meals it was so hard for me to choose which dish to eat. I settled on the Brown Butter Perch and my wife had the Steak au Pouivre. You will not be disappointed here, everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. I’m here to say that we will definitely be back in to eat again. Great job and well worth the price. Thank you!!“
“Wow! Just wow! First of all I decided on sushi because I couldn’t seem to make up my mind on what I wanted to eat. Go figure right? And I am sooooo glad I got sushi! I ordered something simple that’s one of my fav since I’ve never been here. Let me tell you!!! The moment I took a bite from my salmon nigiri, the tenderness from the salmon was enhancing every delicious bite! I mean it just melted in my mouth! THEN! I had the salmon avocado roll. Simple yet so scrumptious! The rice was as fresh as Mr.Clean! The salmon was inticing with every bite of avocado, it’s like my mouth was just having a ton of food gasms because the quality was that amazing! We live in holland and this was definitely worth the drive for! 100/10 I recommend and will def try again.“
“First time having dinner @ Terra! Excellent all around. Fabulous dinner, service, and attention to detail!! From the custom menu to two wonderful appetizers- roasted carrots & mussels (see the picture of the menu)Three of us had: Rigatoni Bolognese, Braised Cider Short Ribs, and Seared Scallops!! Outstanding. Even the coffee and dessert! This is another gem in Grand Rapids!!“
“Went there for the first time on a Saturday around 1. There was only one waitress it looked like and she was doing amazing. Food came out very fast as well and the restaurant was clean and staff was friendly. The food was amazing and we felt like we got our values worth! We had a toddler and 10year old, food was great for them as well and plenty of decorations to distract the toddler. Highly recommend and will be back.“
“Caldos El Giro If you are looking for some great tacos and great Mexican soups this is your place. The location is small so seating and parking can be a challenge but worth the wait. They also offer to go as well. Things to note: you have to order at the counter before sitting. They will assign a seat to you. If you pay cash it's a lesser charge vs paying with a card. Prices are pretty typical compared to similar restaurants. They bring the food out to you but if you need anything else you go up to the counter. They have a table with to-go containers where you can help yourself which makes it really convenient. They play great music. Staff seems friendly but doesn't interact too much but I am sure it's because they are always so busy and always packing up to go orders too! The corn tortillas used for the tacos are much bigger than your traditional tortilla. They use the store bought ones for the soup orders just FYI. We ordered the asada tacos, gordita de papa con chile (potato with hot sauce) and a caldo de res (beef stew). We also added on chips and salsa because you don't get those complementary. Chips are good but the salsa reminded me of tostitos salsa. The asada tacos I personally think are the best but they offer a good variety of protein options. The avocado green salsa is a must! The gordita was not what I expected and will never order again. It had a very mushy texture and no flavor. They seem to have been pre-made with the toppings folded in versus stuffed in after cooking the gordita. Not to worry, the tacos and caldo made up for it! The caldo de res is always great.They loaded it with meat and lots of veggies. I have never had issues with their caldo or even their other soups like Menudo or Seafood soups! They provide tortillas, a side of rice, limes and a chili oil. The chili oil really gives it a kick so I recommend adding a little at a time.“
“I would highly recommend trying this restaurant out. The food was amazing and the owners were really nice and attentive. My family and I all got the number 11. Rare Flank, Beef Ball, noodle soup and it was delicious. It was full of many different flavors, and very filling. We all ended up with leftovers.“
“We first came here about 25 years ago, and the food was excellent! 13 years ago, we moved out of state and recently moved back. The Fishery was one of our first stops. We are thrilled to report that the food is still excellent and the service is exceptional, everything we’ve tried has always been delicious. Never dry or over cooked and lots of choices! Orange roughy and onion rings are highly recommended!“
“Great quality of fish. Got the blackened grouper and it was good. I saw someone else get the fish and chips and realized that's what I should of ordered. generous portion and I fould tell by looking at them they were tasty will get next time.“

“I was looking for catfish and saw the reviews on this facility. I was a bit skeptical from the reviews on the esthetics (looks just like whats been previously been shared in photos from others), but had very few options for what I was looking for in my vicinity.The fish was expensive 15.00 per lbs, on sale, very fresh and good quality.“
“I've lived in a lot of different places. They all have crappy buffets in common. Though there is no unique dishes here, they execute everything fairly well. All staff, including hibachi grill are very friendly. Will be coming here often.Update: *Still my go-to buffet for the area. I would love it if they had steam bun desserts, but that's my preference.Late lunch hours aren't great, but that's too be expected at a buffet during that time. Still, the staff are accommodating and understanding.Kid-friendliness: Proportionate kid prices by age group.“
“The reviews don't lie for this place! Tried Wing Heaven for the first time last night and I can emphatically say, "Wowza Wings!" Tried the Honey bbq, Hot bbq & Sweet Raspberry Pepper sauces. All Deee-lish! You can order them soft, medium or hard, depending on your preferred crisp factor. The wings and sauce were done to perfection and just the right size (not mutant like other wing places we've tried). The customer service was excellent as well! This will now be our family's go to wing joint! Thanks for bringin' the solid wings!“
“Not only is it the best Indian restaurant in town, it’s my favorite restaurant overall in town. The ingredients are legitimately fresh, the food has so much flavor and the owner is very friendly. If you've never been here or never tried Indian food before you won’t be disappointed. Recommend the chaat samosa, cheese naan, tandoori chicken biryani or tikka masala. 10/10“

“I had not been to Red Lobster in years, and it was just like I remembered it. Friendly service, nice atmosphere & tasty food. The brussels sprouts were by far the most delicious brussels sprouts I have ever had!Visited again just about one year later… for Lobsterfest! Delicious drinks. Yummy Cheddar Bay biscuits and lobster. Delicious broccoli. The fettuccine Alfredo was the only thing that was sub-par. It did take a long time to get our food, but our waitress was very nice.“
“Visited here on my birthday and had a great time with our group! Service was great and the food was so delicious! The Lobster dip was phenomenal and the fried pickles were really good. The clam chowder was the best I have had in a number of years! The filet medallions were spectacular and the tuna was perfect when seared! The giant brownie volcano was quite the spectacle when presented at our table! The ambiance was nice. Everything was clean, including the restroom. Our time was enjoyable and memorable. Thank you to my friends and also to the staff for making it a great experience!“
“Great experience with ordering takeout. We normally would dine in but had to get home after running some errands, so we ordered online. Everything was perfectly prepared and packaged well for the drive. All the extras were there in abundance: butter and sour cream for the baked potato, dressing for the salad, lemon wedges for the salmon, and of course, BISCUITS! Our meals were both delicious. Great job, Team Kentwood!“
“We love Firerock. Should look into Redwater Membership. My husband Damion Payne and I live in Byron Center and thus is one of our go to places for spur of the moment dinner on Weekend or Weekday or for cocktails. We like sitting in the bar area so we can watch the game...March Madness this past weekend. Food was great and drinks too. The Bartender was great we were there @ 7:30 to close. My only complaint was some of the staff started setting up for Easter Brunch so it was quite distracting as we tried to enjoy each other's company and our food/drinks. They also left thr door to patio open and it was cold and uncomfortable. We get thr need to prepare for the next day but we really thought that should be done once your guest sitting by the doors (us) we're finished or after closing. It was so cold and breezy Sat Night sitting there that my husband got up to shut the door.“
“Unfortunately, the food was just so so. My Caesar salad looked like older, wilted bag lettuce, including lots of brown, unappealing pieces. My fil's burger looked like he was given "end of the day" garnishments, and for what he thought he was getting (quality meat) it was tough. Our meal took quite a long time to get, w/hardly anyone in the restaurant at the time we received it, didn't seem justified and no explanation. The occasional was a memorial service w/out of town guests. Just didn't care for my experience at this restaurant.“
“The food is exceptional! Very tasty and well prepared and you can chose among many menu options. I love the service at the place and the chef is so friendly with the guests and always takes care to offer the best quality! I highly recommend this place.“
“Food was excellent, prices very reasonable. Best Chinese food in the area! I got the beef lo mein and the beef was nice and tender. Portions were just right. Their bakery items are also very good. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for Chinese food in the area.“
“There's a reason this fishy joint has been popular for decades. And it starts with the food. And then you throw in staff who are welcoming, attentive, accommodating and enjoy the customer experience a great interaction and product, you have a recipe (no pun intended - but it sure looks that way) for a business that will stand for decades. I'd bet on being just the same if I stopped in after 40 years. Same great food. Same great staff. Same great Fat Man's Fish Fry.“
“Without a doubt one of the most well run and friendly restaurants in Grand Rapids. They may be a “big business” type restaurant but they sure don’t make you feel like that. My wife and I were welcomed in and treated like family from the moment we sat down, to the moment we walked out of the door. Andrea (waitress), Dionne (manager), and Curneak (owner), are all exceptional and I truly mean it. From my wife’s nutritional needs/requirements, to mine; everything was up to (actually beyond) standard. Bonefish is now our go to date night spot.“
“We were a lively party of eighteen, on a Thursday evening, April 18th, '24.Our server Rosie S. was unrivaled in her duties as server; her poise, professionalism and personality were stellar. And assisting her were several spot on food runners. Kudos to each and everyone.Also, a special shout out to Alecia, the barmaid, who did the pours before we joined the gathering. And though their name now escapes us, the two hostesses were standouts, as well.On behalf of Primetimers GR, we thank you immensely for contributing to our outing's success.Dietary restrictions: Even the most persnickety diners would have no qualms here.Parking: If there's an over flow, park at Meijer nearby“
“Been going here for years, you can not beat the portion for the price anywhere and the food is phenomenal! I get both small orders for myself and large orders when the whole family gets together for dinner and not once has my order been wrong or missing anything. They no longer do dine-in so I don't care that the inside is a little run down, everything coming out of the kitchen is perfect!“
“We don't go anywhere else for pho. The portions are great and the flavor is always consistent.We always get their eggrolls (#1) and their gyoza before getting what ever style pho we want and it's always on point. (The sauces compliment the apps very well too ?) I love their house special with the tripe, tendon, meatballs and whatever else. All time favorite place and the owner is so friendly and helpful ?“
“Everything is great! They have a huge selection of food items and I sampled most of them. I don’t eat pork or seafood so I cannot comment on those. The factory meatloaf is the bomb! The food is delicious and tasty with big portions! The flavored lemonades are yummy! Every cheesecake or cake that I had was so full of flavor! Did I say big portions!“
“Probably the best chicken I’ve ever had. The seasoning is perfect. The fries are sweet and savory. The chicken and shrimp are both seasoned to perfection. Very fresh when it comes out even though it is all deep fried. It’s all very amazing. The only reason i will not give it 5 stars is the wait time. We waited over an hour for the food, but when you finally receive the food, it’s almost worth all of the waiting. I wish I could give them 5 stars because the way they season their food is addicting, but I’ve picked up orders for DoorDash here as well and they always have the same wait time. Again, fantastic food and worth the price.“
“This review is strictly for the catering of a wedding dinner. We went with our son to try the food before the big day and honestly wasn't that impressed with the options. There were a few better than others. Our son and daughter in-law to be decided on what they wanted for their dinner. The big day was here and the place looked great when we arrived. Tables were arranged and looked great. Staff was excellent and nice. The food was a hundred times better than the tasting was. All in all, we were very pleased with the whole experience. Thank you and your staff.“

“Been coming here since I was 6. Absolutely adore the owner. He's very attentive and kind to his customers. Has taken the time to learn Spanish. The food is amazing as always. Hablan español. Los conozco desde los 6 años. La comida, como siempre super!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
“My experience here at China Kitchen was pretty much good with the food quality and the pricing. I recommend the chicken, dumplings, fried rice, donuts, and beef. The restaurant was pretty much a good atmosphere and the little boy working there is very professional and calm but he’s a little kid.“
“Had the fried green tomatoes, chicken biscuit, and the buttermilk chicken salad. The food was excellent and the portions were very generous. Our server, Keegan, was extremely friendly and attentive. Struck up a conversation with the host on the way out and he was a super nice guy as well. This place is doing it right, will definitely be back soon.“
