“Had an early dinner. We were dressed extremely casual but were treated like celebrities. The food was spot on as the blueberry brie, brussel sprouts, filet mignon, crab & shrimp saffron risotto and pretzel crusted walleye were exceptional. The staff took care of us like family. Our sweet waitress even made a list of places we needed to visit in West Michigan. Our maître d' made us feel welcome and returned often to be sure we remained that way. Overall we couldn’t have had a better dinner. Thanks and kudos y’all.”

“Amazing food and wonderful service! Cannot wait to go back!!”
Sushi Bar • $$
“Ginza made for a nice dinner after an evening out. I tried a California roll and their tonkotsu ramen. Both were good, but the noodles for the ramen were just slightly overcooked. The flavor of the broth was excellent and deeply savory, however, and the toppings were good. I guess it evens out. It’s a good spot for noodles or sushi, and they have a menu with some decent variety. It’s definitely worth a try if you like either of those foods.”

“Have been twice, about 2 years apart. It really is an experience. Beautiful food and service. On the way home my wife and I decided to make Grove our anniversary tradition. Thank you for the lovely evening.”
Brewery • $$
“I went picked Brass Ring Brewing to celebrate my birthday with my family. I choose Brass Ring because I was interested in trying their cask ales. What I found at Brass Ring was a level of customer service that I have rarely found across the food service industry. We showed up at Brass Ring to find that a very large group was dining there, taking up a majority of the seating. They don't take reservations, so it was going to be a challenge finding a table for our group of 6. The owner heard the staff struggling to find us an available table. He jumped in and found a solution. He personally asked a couple that was seated at a large table if they would be willing to move. They graciously accepted to make room for us. This level of customer service has obviously been trained into the entire staff because our waiter was the most helpful and hospitable server I've ever encountered. Firstly, he was extremely knowledgeable of food and drink menu, helping us to navigate it superbly. He also got the entire restaurant to sing "Happy Birthday" with us when it was time for dessert. The food and drinks were top notch, but the customer service was out of this world. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to the Brass Ring. You will not be disappointed!”
Steak House • $$$$
“This restaurant came recommend to me as the best steakhouse in Grand Rapids. I was not disappointed. The staff was friendly (Kathryn) and answered all my questions. The atmosphere is perfect for a fancy date. Very romantic setting to impress. I don't drink alcohol and they had an alcohol free 0% Giasen Merlot which was exquisite. I started with French Onion Soup and Cheese Popover Muffins. For an entree, I had Australian Rib Lamb Chops with a Mint Demi Glase. For a side, I enjoyed Brussels Sprouts with Honey Dijon Mustard Sause. Everything exceeded my expectations and the Merlot paired nicely with the Lamb Chops. I highly recommend the Chop House as a must visit dining destination in the heart of Grand Rapids.”

“Hired Pit Stop to cater an event at the Fowling Warehouse. The food was very delicious and was loved by all. I would recommend to everyone. We have already hired them for a company event in June.”
“Happened to find this - so glad I did. Quiet / subtle exterior - ample parking, nice patio. 4 Michigan beers on tap good selection in bottles, full bar, wine. Several TVs. Fun historic memorabilia on the walls. Nice Cheers atmosphere - bartender had great food recommendations. Fries are the best - fresh potato flavor with some big salt pieces. The euchre people were a bit loud at times - only because they were having fun. Will be back again.”
“We Loved this place! every single thing on the menu looks amazing. their beer selection stellar, as well as their liquors made in house! we bought one of each. And the owners and staff were wonderful people. Visiting with Sanaz made it extra special. well done Eric and Kathy!”

“We had the pleasure of giving my mother an upscale party honoring her birthday. The process for creating a bulk order, and delivery was very convenient. Daddy Dough’s cookies were such a unique addition to the party. We placed an individually wrapped cookie at every seat, and I am not sure if there was a cookie left behind. I have been eating Daddy’s Dough cookies for years and recommend if you are on the fence.”

I used to love the nuggets when I was little but over time, I stopped liking them. I'm a very picky eater so this is nothing new to me. This time, I decided to try them again.

Thai • $
“The quality of the food from Thai Table is a step above the other Thai food options in GR. The curries are delicious and complex, the pad thai actually has authentic fish sauce, and all of the ingredients are fresh and tasty. I tried their spin on yakisoba recently and was shocked by how good the vegetables in the dish were - I'm so used to frozen vegetables being used in these kinds of dishes that having good-quality fresh ingredients made the dish stand out compared to what we get from other restaurants in the area.”

Don't go...parking and socializing is terrible.”

“I recommend everything! This is like finding a rare gold coin in your pocket change, or a Monet at the Salvation Army thrift store. Or stepping into Paris from the sidewalk in southeast Grand Rapids. Go slowly! Each nibble fills you with bright, exotic sensations. We go for the scones, cookies and madeleines. Today we tried the financiers, ginger passion fruit and s’more. Yes, it’s a fusion of French and American, but it’s how they’d do it in Paris.”
Ice Cream Shop • $
“We went to Cone City the other day since we haven't been there in a while. We chatted with the owners for quite a while. They are a young couple that has been a part of the Kentwood community for a long time. They are the nicest, hard working people you could ever meet. It's those kind of people who really make a difference in our Kentwood community. I believe in supporting small business so we will be coming back. They gave us the best customer service and their ice cream was so good and very affordable vs. other ice cream shops we have visited. And it's close to home! Thank you both for doing such a great job and serving our Kentwood community! We appreciate you!!!”

Obviously prices are going to increase but I used to pay $4.50 for a latte in 2020 and now paying north of $7.50 or $8. Customer service is always meh. Never overly friendly. Keep coming back because of the amazing coffee!”

She was so sweet and personable.”

During the pandemic everything is served on leek proof containers and food is still hot when you get home. There is nothing fancy here served as out would be on the beach. They have generous portions for the price. This little place is a must try.”

Cocktail Bar • $
“Drip Drop is a standout in Grand Rapids’ cocktail scene, consistently delivering the quality expected of a top-tier craft cocktail bar. Their rotating themed menu keeps things fresh, and I’d even say they rival some of the best bars I’ve visited in much larger cities. Over the past year, we’ve returned for multiple menu iterations and have always left impressed—not just by the drinks but by the exceptional staff. Connor, Johnny, and Nick (one of the owners) excel at crafting unique cocktails and bring deep knowledge of emerging industry techniques. Their creativity and expertise make every visit an experience worth savoring. I also appreciate that Drip Drop goes beyond just great cocktails—they occasionally host events like fundraisers and live music, adding to the vibrant atmosphere. Plus, their selection of light snacks is a thoughtful touch, making it an even more enjoyable place to spend an evening.”

They consistently deliver a fantastic selection of beers—there’s truly something for every taste, and each one is brewed with care and creativity. Lately, they’ve been stepping up their food game in a big way, and the new offerings are a perfect match for the drinks. The service is always top-notch—friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Combine that with a laid-back, chill atmosphere, and you’ve got a place that keeps you coming back. Whether you’re a beer enthusiast or just looking for a great spot to hang out, Greyline never disappoints.”

“Dinner just this week. Food was, as always, delicious and very well presented! Service was attentive, efficient, and energetic. A really good wine list! Varied regions and countries with representatives of some of the best and best bargains from “old world” and “new world.” We can verify the wine mark-up is absolutely minimal! We had the walleye and shortribs. Both were really delicious! The kind of food one expects to find in NYC, Chicago, SF, etc. Hats off to this husband and wife team that know how to do it up so well, providing outstanding food, wine, and service!! We will keep coming back!”

“Amazing food, and amazing customer service!!❤️ My fiance and i go often and not only are we welcomed with smiles and kindness, but they always answer all our questions and suggested things to try when we need a little help. Definitely the #1 place for Authentic and Fresh African Food 🤗💕 Our favorite thing right now I'd have to say is Egusi soup with Fufu and Fried plantains. My fiance is obsessed with their Puff Puffs 😅”

“I have picked up orders a few times through uber with jaku. Each time staff is incredibly professional, kind, and it always is a great atmosphere. Yesterday I finally got the chance to dine in being off of work and going out with friends. I tried the California roll for myself and then some of my friends michigan roll. Ontop of great service the food was incredible. I highly recommend anyone to give Jaku a try. They are worth every penny for the costs of their food some can get costly but trust me when i say it truly is worth it and you wont regret spending a bit extra for such great food once you try it. I have a new top favorite restaurant along with one of my friends. Our other friend is a regular customer already. I can definitely see why he along with others are loyal cutomers to Jaku. Between the food, service, and atmosphere it was truly one of the best experiences I have had with dining in, in a very long time.”

“I love the revamp they've done. They got the new comfy seats that are HEATED! Which is amazing for people like me who don't produce their own body heat. The new aesthetic and decor feels kinda retro in a fun way. Makes me want to go see movies more often. Now I just need Hollywood to stop making sequels so I have something to go see. Thankfully we got Fathom putting my fav old movies back in theaters. Celebration please keep hosting their movies, forever”

“We celebrated our 8 year wedding anniversary at one our favorite places. Our server Jacob was amazing! We sat outside on the patio and the atmosphere was great. The parmesean cheese wheel is back!!!! You must try the Alfredo dish if you haven't before. Great service, great wine, and great food. Highly recommend.”
Cideries • $$
“Service was great! Cider and cocktails were great! Food was pretty good, but the menu has been heavily reduced. I thought it was silly that they got rid of the veggie wrap, but they still have wraps and veggies available to make this item - so why not keep it on the menu?
Seems wise to also offer a meatless patty substitute for burgers, an easy thing to keep stocked in the freezer.
I know allergen friendly offerings aren't the main priority for many places, but some very basic options would be helpful 😅”

Bar • $$
“Recommend… with qualifiers…the service from the staff, being greeted by the valet staff, front desk staff, concierge, etc was phenomenal! The room was spacious, the beds very comfortable… but… little things like dirty glasses in the bathroom, soap scum around the bathroom faucets, lack of seating (other than one desk chair) in the room is unacceptable in a high-end hotel. Disappointed there was no room service for breakfast or really any real breakfast options… I had better options at the 11 Best Western properties I stayed in during a 2023 two week road trip - full buffets (eggs, omelettes, pancakes, waffles, fruit, juice/milk, toast, bagels etc… INCLUDED as part of my reservation… ) the only breakfast option at the Amway Grand is grab-and-go cr*p… for an additional charge…from the Wolfgang Puck Kitchen Counter… located in the first floor of the hotel… As part of the “Curio Collection” of Hilton, and for the price of the room, I expect better. I never minded paying for room service as it was well worth the convenience,especially when staying for a business conference that has minimal time available to seek other more palatable options…Hotel was much better when run by the Amway company… I’d give the Amway Grand 2.5 stars at the most…”

“From the moment we walked in , till the moment we walked out we were thoroughly impressed. From the wonderful ambiance to fantastic people. Our waitress, Em was absolutely the best. She gave us extremely helpful hints on the menu. The brussel sprouts appetizer was out of this world. We locked in on the cast iron pork and the smothered chicken thighs. These were both phenomenal. We tried four different sides , the Mac and cheese , onion rings, fried okra, and fried rosemary potatoes. They were all fantastic. We will definitely return and can only hope to be seated in Em's sections. She really was a true pleasure to have as our waitress.”

Seafood • $$
“My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at this restaurant. I had a stuffed sea bass entree which was delicious. Not the best I've ever had, but still very good. My wife had the fish and chips, which is lower brow for this restaurant, but she said it was outstanding. There was one odd thing that my wife pointed out. It was the bathrooms. She used the facilities and found that the hook to hang her purse or a coat on the door was so high she couldn't reach it. Just a heads up for you ladies out there. Overall a great dining experience.”

For dinner we ordered the special bacon Mac and cheese (a favorite), the mushroom pizza (amazing wood-fired pizza with several types of mushrooms and cheeses), the Pad Thai (a large serving of deliciousness), and the acorn squash special.”

“Excellent service! Delicious food! My only issue (which doesn’t change my rating) would be the strong fish smell that smacks you when you walk in. But apparently if you’re a dude there are urinal games! I won’t post a picture though… not very appetizing to see a urinal when trying to find good food!”

“My husband took me out for what he still calls date night after 30 yrs. of marriage. He and I are both foodies and love going on adventures for restaurants that go a step above in both food taste, presentation, atmosphere and service. And I'm here to tell you that Alfanos hit all of these with flying colors. Cody and Alex were our bartenders/servers. They were excellent. I had the Chicken picata and it was off the chart with flavor and presentation not to mention a healthy serving. Delicious is all I kept saying. Compliments to the chef!!!!! My goodness I can't wait to go and try something else. My husband had the chicken parmesan dinner and too was very pleased. Thank you very much to our servers and the Alfanos for a wonderful date nite and dining experience 😊 we will definitely be back.”

“I went picked Brass Ring Brewing to celebrate my birthday with my family. I choose Brass Ring because I was interested in trying their cask ales. What I found at Brass Ring was a level of customer service that I have rarely found across the food service industry. We showed up at Brass Ring to find that a very large group was dining there, taking up a majority of the seating. They don't take reservations, so it was going to be a challenge finding a table for our group of 6. The owner heard the staff struggling to find us an available table. He jumped in and found a solution. He personally asked a couple that was seated at a large table if they would be willing to move. They graciously accepted to make room for us. This level of customer service has obviously been trained into the entire staff because our waiter was the most helpful and hospitable server I've ever encountered. Firstly, he was extremely knowledgeable of food and drink menu, helping us to navigate it superbly. He also got the entire restaurant to sing "Happy Birthday" with us when it was time for dessert. The food and drinks were top notch, but the customer service was out of this world. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to the Brass Ring. You will not be disappointed!”

Ramen • $
“After traveling to Japan and living in California for a number of years, I’ve had some of the best ramen and I would say Noodlepig is nailing it and quickly became one of the best IMO. Amazing experience and authentic ramen. I would expect to see this place to be in a big city. They have a noodle room where you can see the magic all happen. Also love that they feed hungry kids with every bowl sold. Recently tried the mazemen (soupless ramen) and karaage chicken, also amazing!”

They are so friendly and happy to see us each time we visit. They work so well as a team each helping each other out. The subs are extraordinary good, only one of the reasons we keep going back. I will continue going to boardwalk subs always.”

“Applebees is always a classic for "fine dining." Food is good, however some consider it slightly overpriced.
I enjoy the Shark Bowl drink. Though a lot of the times they don't seem to have the gummy sharks to put in them. Last week I got a gummy strawberry in my Shark Bowl instead of a Shark!
It was still good though!”

“Fantastic new menu! The folks at Stella's have knocked it out of the park for their 15th anniversary menu. Went with friends and we couldn't stop talking through the meal about how good the food was. Can't wait to come back and try more! Reasonably priced with good portions, too. THE spot to casually hang out downtown in a bar/restaurant hybrid atmosphere.”

“Frequently meet friends and have some of the best brunch in the city. Always busy but for a reason, and the service and hospitality which are already top notch, do not suffer. An example of this is when they bring you your food they remember who ordered which plate. This is one of those underrated hospitality things they do that other establishments don’t reach. I will always be back :)”
