“Everything at Gin Gin’s is top notch; from the food to the service to the atmosphere. It is easily the best restaurant in GR! Downside is that it’s hard to get in. You have to get there at open if you don’t have a reservation and if you need a reservation I’d recommend booking at least a week in advance, especially on the weekends.”
“Private event. The food was excellent. Large portions and the wait staff was outstanding.”
“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.”
“Our favorite restaurant no longer serves Manhattan style clam chowder and we are nothing less than heartbroken. We didn't realize that our favorite thing there wasn't popular enough to retain as a menu item when Leo's changed hands. We can live with the smaller lobster tails, but this is really hard for us to take. Cry.”

Restaurants by Cuisine
“Beers were pretty good. The service was excellent. They had a screamo band there on the Friday night we visited. Nice to have some music, but hard to converse with your party.”
“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.”

“I've been coming here off and on for the last couple of years and every single time I have been greeted with open arms and the best hospitality. Nice relaxing atmosphere and fun vibes. Always strike great conversation with whomever is working or visiting. The Kombucha is top notch and the "Sound Experience" on certain Thursday's are phenomenal. Check it out!”

“I absolutely love hanging out at this place. The game selection and welcoming atmosphere are fantastic! The variety of drinks and added convenience of being able to order food from their kitchen makes it even more stress-free. I will gladly support this local business while enjoying the hobby!”
“Was in tonight for dinner in GR on the front patio with a couple girlfriends and we were approached by a homeless man who tried to grab our bags. I’m reaching out to praise your manager and the rest of the staff for taking our concerns seriously and jumping into action. Top notch team you’ve got there. You were already a go to spot for us, but even moreso now. Thank you for a great spot, delicious menu, and for making your patrons safety a top priority!!”
“Owner and Chef Tim is the best! Everyone in our party was impressed with how special and delicious everything was - from the Italian Spring Rolls to the Fettuccini Michael to the homemade limoncello to the tiramisu and cappuccino!! Can’t wait to come back to this family-owned restaurant!”
“Superb! Fantastic lunch at ROAM! Was our fav food spot during our week long visit in Grand Rapids! Selena, our server, was attentive and friendly and the best server we had all week. 👏 Food was delicious-tacos on paratha bread, ensalada de elote Rangoon dip and mango sticky rice all yum! Vibe and decor awesome!”
“We were at Garden District last night.The food and cocktails were absolutely amazing! Our server Brook and all of the other staff were fast, friendly, and on point.We shared the BBQ shrimp, beignets, and the seafood platter. Everything was fresh, hot, and delicious. The high octane daiquiri was excellent! We will definitely be back soon to check out the rest of the menu! 🍤 🦐 🦀 🎭 🍸 🧉 🍷 💜💚💛”
“Pros: loved the outdoor seating
Cons: food was just okay, had to ask for salt, a smidge pricey for what we got
We ordered gyoza, rangoon, karaage chicken, and beef ramen. We were recommended this restaurant so we were excited to give it a go. Sadly, it was a bit of a miss for us. The gyoza, Rangoon, and ramen didn’t really taste to either of us like anything special warranting the price. There’s an Asian takeaway close to home that we prefer for these items and it’s a bit cheaper. Lunch prices weren’t great. I liked the sauce for the karaage chicken, but the chicken pieces weren’t very good. My hubs actually had to go inside and get salt. I hate leaving negative reviews, I’m not sure if they were having a bad day? We were really hoping to have a special lunch, but ended up paying double what we would’ve elsewhere for food that was less tasty. I was really, really surprised. And disappointed. Even if we’d paid less, I prob still wouldn’t return. The flavors just weren’t flaving. Like, it was good, but not remarkable. The Rangoon were probably the best bites, but I can get the same or better quality elsewhere for half the price.
Staff were friendly and attentive. Good atmosphere.”
“This was such a fun little activity for the day. The cats are great to play with while enjoying a beverage or snack. Great place to come and relax/get some feline therapy. I also love that it allows people to meet the cat in an environment they are fairly comfortable in before adopting. Definitely would recommend visiting!”
“My girlfriends and I met at Blue Water for dinner tonight. Our waiter named Will made our dinner so enjoyable and fun. Our dinner came out so fast and the food was delicious. We split a dessert that we all didn’t care for. The General Manager Sheena came over immediately and offered us to try something different. She brought us a new dessert. She was so sweet and personable.”
“A welcoming bar/restaurant. Busy but not loud. Our server was nice and took our drink order right away. Prices are very reasonable. We got there late evening and we were not rushed to order or eat. A really enjoyable dining experience. It's downtown Grand Rapids so parking can be somewhat hard to find close by on weekend nights because that's where everyone is at. I didn't mind the walk though.”
“Owner and Chef Tim is the best! Everyone in our party was impressed with how special and delicious everything was - from the Italian Spring Rolls to the Fettuccini Michael to the homemade limoncello to the tiramisu and cappuccino!! Can’t wait to come back to this family-owned restaurant!”
“Rumi’s Garden was our first time trying Afghan food, and it was a great introduction to the cuisine!
We ordered the Afghani Feast, which is supposed to feed five people, but we actually had enough food to comfortably feed six. Everything was really delicious and well seasoned without being overly spicy. We especially enjoyed the variety of meat selections and how flavorful everything was.
If you’ve never tried Afghan food before, I’d definitely recommend giving Rumi’s Garden a try. It’s a great way to experience something new without feeling overwhelmed by the flavors or spice level.
One cool thing about this location is that it shares the building with Raza, an Indian restaurant that I’m already looking forward to trying next. So if you’re in the Grand Rapids area and want to explore Afghan or Indian food, you’ve got two options right there to check out!”

“Popped in for a quick lunch, Nick greeted us with promptness and was very kind. Stephanie was the cashier at the time and she recommended the cheesecake cookie and she was right it was very good, soft and nice 10/10 service nice to see others doing there job well and with pride”
“I just have picked up a few delivery orders for this store. Although I’ve had to wait in line for delivery order which most of the time stinks. This Burger King is one of the few with some type of organization and the team was working so well together today. The manager was all over helping (short Latino girl with braided ponytail) if I were to dine in I would come to this location and next time I have Burger King I will come here”
“Standard fair for McDonald's. Quick time in the drive through with easy parking and plenty of spaces. I only received 2 napkins for 2 combo meals. We all know 2 is never enough. But quick and hot food made up for it. I could tell everything was fresh and had not been sitting around. The person handing food out the pickup windows looked like it was the worst day of their lives with no smiles, thank you or have a good day.”
“I just went through the drive-thru but I got my vegan impossible Whopper and it was delicious with fries and so nice to be able to have something vegan at a fast food restaurant. Thank you Burger King for seeing us Vegans.
Dietary restrictions: Unlike McDonald's, the Burger King fries are vegan and The impossible Whopper is vegan if you get it without the mayonnaise”
“Whoever the manager was it was a young gentleman and then there was a really amazing girl at the front window check my time slip check their drawers these were some of the best crew I have seen probably in a decade besides the short little girl that was consistent there for about 20 hours here’s at the back window their name Danica!!!!! I really miss that short little girl Danica I would come in every single day with my dog and she didn’t hold up the line by any means Danica was one of the best most efficient back through Drive person I’ve ever seen I know Danica climb to be in a manager at one time and then she I guess something happened I’m not sure she took sick or something I really miss seeing that girls face I hope she’s doing good! Every time I come to the drive-through I always pray it’s Danica There! I will see the crew tonight though was amazing the food was good and I definitely give us a nine out of 10 stars and if Danica was there the service would’ve been 10 out of 10 but these people are right up there with the service Danica gave Danica I miss you and hopefully I’ll see you again there sometime!!!!!My dog misses you Jenna~ Dewy my fur baby~ Diesel my other fur baby~ Highly recommend you guys!!!!!!”
“The food was okay. I mean it was fast food. It was hot and fresh when it arrived to my parking spot. Nothing bad to say about the service. And as far as the atmosphere, it's kind of located in industrial park sell more importantly, it was easy to get in and out of.”
“I can't say enough about Fumi and the wonderful experience we have had with her in June and again yesterday. My husband and I did the scallops in June and yesterday four of us did the lamb. Fumi's attention to detail and responding to all our numerous questions went way above and beyond. We purchased 10 gift certificates which we look forward to using. We will request Fumi for all our future classes. See you soon.”

“Wow! This is one of the best places I've been to in a long time. Their hot plum tea is made in house and was so sweet and delicious. The ramen was tasty and everything I ordered was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. You truly deserve way more than 5 stars! This is a great place to go if you've had a bad day, great atmosphere and wonderfully polite staff. I'll be back very soon!”

“First time visitor, friendly, clean and the food was amazing. I have eaten around the world but seldom have tried Lebanese foods. What a treat to my taste buds.. My wife and daughter were impress with the variety of tastes and portions (I took home some eggplant sauce for a late night snack with crackers) Overall, the food was tasty and eye pleasing.”
“Just ate there with my husband, daughter, and grandson. We had heard they had good food. Boy were the reviews right. We had a chili dog, corn dog, smash burgers, and regular fries, and chili fries between all of us. It was great food. The service was great. Everyone was friendly and having a good time. Great experience. Will definitely be going back there.”
“My son just graduated from high school and wanted donuts at his graduation party. I decided to order from Phoenix Rising and I am so glad I did!! The ordering was easy and they were super friendly to work with. I ordered 15 dozen in addition to donut holes. They were delicious and beautiful. They gave us a large variety and it was all ready on time. I am so happy we ordered from here. Couldn’t be happier with the process. We definitely found our new donut place.”
“The most amazing brunch I’ve ever had!!! The food was absolutely phenomenal!! Can’t believe it took me this long to go. Our server was super knowledgeable and gave us great recommendations.”
“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!”

“My nephew and I shared a meal here today and our experiences ranged from very good to off the scale great. We tried a Hot Mess breakfast with eggs, potatoes, chorizo,etc; it was perfectly balanced (neither to spicy or bland), super fresh; loved it. We also got a grilled cheese, with pepper jelly. The bread was the best ever (toasted perfectly) and crunchy, and it wasn't to cheesy (some places put too much cheese which makes it messy) with just enough pepper jelly to create an original experience; and one of my favorite sandwiches of my life. The salad was the low point of the meal as it was merely perfect. We also got a chocolate croissant which was great and a pot de creme which was decadent and..can I say perfect again. This is my new favorite place”
“Always amazing service and fantastic food! Talked about so much my coworkers have joined in ordering! Staff is always friendly and speedy with service! Looking for the absolute best sandwich? You got it here! They definitely live up the the name of wing snob but that’s my opinion come find out for yourself!”
“I have been wanting to try Papa Chops since it opened and today I was finally able to. It was a great feeling to walk in and know that I could eat anything on the menu. I chose a wrap and fries. Both were amazing! One of the best wraps I have ever have. I will definitely be back! Thank you!”

“We enjoyed a delicious brunch, as well as the performances by staff. We also enjoyed walking around the rest of the unique spaces. The Rickroll from the "landline" phone was hilarious!”
“This was a new discovery for us. We had marinated olives for our appetizer, morty sub and bacon and friends pizza - all were out standing! Try the homemade chip dip! Creme Brule was the perfect ending! Our waiter lost some tip because taking care of dishes was more important than taking care of our check. Surrounding area, inside and out was very pleasant!”

“Daughter kept hyping up Apfelwein she had in Frankfurt. I stumbled across KB looking for cider places. Apfelwein on the menu! What a fun surprise! Far better than the cider place we visited next and tried a 6 cider flight. We only wish we could’ve brought some home in a growler 😞 but I suppose we’ll have to return :)”
“If you know me you know I rarely go out to eat. I don’t even have a microwave and I don’t eat anything in packages. So I eat very healthy for around 19 years now. I enjoy this place so much I’ve been there twice in a week, and purchased 22 meals from their weekly package meals. And I am so impressed with the quality and how tasty the meals are I’m adding their meals to my weekly grocery list. Thank you so much for a healthy quality choice to our town. It is a must try for yourself folks.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had a wonderful experience at Mahala Coffee. From the moment I arrived, Batsi was exceptionally welcoming—friendly, kind, and very helpful. His attentive service truly made the visit stand out. The atmosphere is inviting and well-suited for both small gatherings and larger groups, offering a comfortable space to relax or connect. Another big plus is the ample parking available, making it convenient for everyone. Overall, Mahala Coffee is a place I highly recommend—for the quality, the environment, and especially the outstanding service from Batsi.”

“First time and the food service and atmosphere were all great We will be going back.”
“My family eats here every time we visit downtown. They are kind to our daughter but the atmosphere is also great for a date. I have also dropped in for lunch between work meetings and the service is fast for a tight schedule. The Black Dragon roll is great!”
“Fantastic tiki decor -- like noplace else! But mediocre food and sloppy service. Go here for a cocktail to check out the atmosphere, but have dinner somewhere else.”
“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 :)”
“Great Mediterranean Cusine! The white steamed rice bowl with steak and veggies is amazing!”
“Just had our kids 21st birthday at San Chez and what a great experience! Kudos to our lovely wait staff and a special shout out to Jess who looked after us beautifully and could not have been nicer! She helped us pick an excellent assortment of dishes for our party of 11, the food came out at exactly the right moments, and we all got to try things on the menu that were interesting and delicious. Thanks for a great evening, Jess and San Chez!”
“Aletitude has been there for us through multiple delayed flights and travel complications. The service and food is always amazing. Thank you to Shawna for taking care of us this time. If I ever get stuck in the Grand Rapids airport again, I will definitely be back.”
“What a fun night! The actors were very enthusiastic and presented great energy to the crowd. Very fun night and delicious food!”
“This is one of my favorite spots in Grand Rapids. Chateau is a wine bar with curated selections of wine and food. While it might not have the most wine options, it definitely has something for everyone including cocktails and mocktails. The atmosphere is very moody and romantic, with dim lights and mid century modern decor. If you’re looking for a cute date night spot or a girls night out, highly recommend. We had two glasses of red wine, two glasses of white, the oysters, caviar and chips, and the charcuterie board. Everything was outstanding, especially the caviar.”
“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”
“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!”
“Fresh, amazingly priced food. You can't beat service like this.”
“I enjoy coming to CBB. They've grown quite a bit in a year and they now have a kitchen!
I like the chicken burrito and West coast ipa's.”
“Love PF Chang’s food! The sesame chicken and pork dumplings are a must have! The waitresses are not very good a majority of the time when not asking for refills or remembering we were seated for quite a while before asking what we’d like to order. But the food makes up for it for sure :)”
“Vivant Brewery & Spirits in Grand Rapids was a really enjoyable experience and easily one of the more distinctive brewery settings I have visited.
The atmosphere is what grabbed me first. The building was originally a funeral home chapel, and instead of trying to hide that history, they leaned into it. The stained glass above the bar is especially striking, and the exposed wood, high ceilings, and historic architecture give the space a sophisticated, almost European feel. It has a lot of character without feeling gimmicky.
We only stopped in for appetizers, but everything we tried was very tasty. Vivant is known for putting more effort into the food than the typical brewery, with a from-scratch menu and some more creative options than standard bar food. Their duck nachos, beer cheese and pretzels, frites, and poutine are some of the items that come up repeatedly with other guests.
The drink side is just as interesting. They focus heavily on European-inspired beers, but they also make spirits and offer craft cocktails, so there is quite a bit more variety than you get at a brewery that is strictly about beer.
What I liked most was the overall vibe. It feels a little more refined and sophisticated than the average taproom, but it is still comfortable and relaxed enough that you can just sit down, have a drink, share some food, and enjoy the building.
Great ambiance, very good food, an interesting drink selection, and one of the coolest historic interiors in Grand Rapids. Vivant took a building with a very unusual past and turned it into something that feels classy, memorable, and completely its own.”
“Staff at The Melting Pot were very helpful and friendly. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was inviting and cozy. The dining experience was just that, an experience rather than a quick bite. My date and I were not rushed and were able to thoroughly enjoy each course and a bottle of wine and conversation with one another. It was a fantastic date!”
“If you leave this place anything other than stuffed and happy there is seriously something wrong with you. The staff is amazing and the food is fantastic.”
“Incredible staff! The menu feels very European, is giving seasonal with staples, Flavor profiles of my dreams, lots of vegan options! immaculate vibe, i sat at the bar every time but has such a warm inviting atmosphere, outdoor seating options, and very spacious for groups.”
“Great customer service . But a women named Brit sits at the bar and gives people attitudes. Claims she’s the owners wife . Love the bar , love the bartenders and workers . But whoever Brit is . Really makes it uncomfortable. Attitude for no reason , even when you don’t speak to her . She’ll speak to you like she’s runs the place . Would recommend for customer service , but her specifically is a no go . 2 out of 5 stars . Would be 4 stars but like I said she sucks the energy out with the nasty attitude .”
“We love this place a little more every time we go! The mussels are especially awesome. From a New England family this is high praise. Great service and cocktails, too! Thank you, Cora!”
“We had the best experience here with our staff party. I would 100% recommend them!”
“First time visitor's. Such a great experience. amazing food and prompt service”
“Nice place to eat with good views when it's nice out. It's standard GFS/Sysco food, but the menu is solid and a bit more eclectic compared to something like West Side Social. Be careful not to make too much fun of the golfers below; it's the last hole and they'll be sitting next to you soon!”
“We have gone here for years and have never cared for the vinegar red Cole slaw. Tonight we went and it is a green Cole slaw and was delicious. Great change. Maxie was our waitress and I was so impressed with her. Great job! One of the best servers at Walker Roadhouse”
“amazing beers and cocktails. and the food is 🤤 awesome atmosphere and staff! will be back!”
“We recently had a party to celebrate a big event in our family. The food (amazing) and service was incredible. The staff took pictures for us and were so friendly and accomodating. We had a fabulous and memorable time.”
“This is always a steeple for me every time I come to town. Unfortunately the selection wasn’t great, and the cider wasn’t a front runner in the bakery like it used to be. I was honestly shocked at how lack luster the donuts were compared to the other places we went. Not what I had remembered! I did however enjoy the winery and ice cream shop! Such a cool gem and really cool hidden spot for the kiddos.”
“We came here for our 20th Wedding Anniversary. This was hands down the best meal and service we’ve ever had! Thank you, MDRD, for such a special celebration experience. 💕”
“Went in to see a show. It was the middle of the day and the place was not busy. It was eazy getting our tickets at the concession stand. The concession prices are crazy. The theater was nice. It was clean, the seats worked and lots of leg room. Its been years since we have gone to a movie, it was pleasant.”
“Our server Charles was absolutely amazing!! So friendly, helpful and an outstanding personality! Ever server should be like him! Food was excellent and Charles was icing on the cake!”
“My husband and I went for a work Christmas party…the food was phenomenal.servers were great,Kurt and Ben ,knew how to keep us happy.I suggest the shrimp,sweet potatoes and the stuffed chicken.but honestly you won’t be disappointed in anything you order.”
“Arrived later in the evening and were greeted with great service…Jesse was excellent in his drink recommendations.
He was very attentive to our table of 4.”
“Went to the Rockford location on opening day and it was great! Paige was our server and super helpful in helping us choose drinks and food. We live 2 blocks away and are super happy about having this dining option downtown!”
“The Old Goat restaurant was so good. Service was top notch. Our server Bailey was new and did a great job!”
“Just spent a delightful lunch with 25 senior citizen lovely ladies. Service was wonderful and the food for exceptional. There were so many good choices on the menu that we all want to come back soon! A huge thank you to the staff for taking such good care of us.

“We stopped for an early dinner while in the area. what an amazing place. the food was excellent and the staff were super friendly and helpful. I can't wait to go back”
“July 10,2026. Broccoli was perfectly cooked which is unusual for a restaurant. Coconut shrimp recipe was excellent. And Bang Bang shrimp were yummy indeed. Our waitress was very attentive even though it was a busy Friday evening. Damion, a manager stopped by to ask if emwe were enjoying our evening. He was knowledgeable and a good listener. Excellent traits for a manager. Well done Bone Fish team!”
“A wonderful and excellent experience. Delicious food and the attention from our waiter Garrett it was extraordinary!”
“First time visit at Brick and Porter and it quickly made it to my top “go to” list. The Baja Mac was absolutely stellar! Aside from the great food our waiter Tristan was a Gem! He fit right in with our big group and made our experience a fun and memorable one!”
“Grat community of individuals working hard to bring great taste to the area!! Bravo ?”
“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!”
“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.”
“Whipped Ricotta is AMAZING!!!! By far the best and unique appetizer. Their Testa pizza is my personal favorite out of the pizzas. Vodka rigatoni 👌 spicy shrimp scampi 👌 Lobster Ravioli AMAZING”
“We had a wonderful experience and a delightful brunch at Reds. The view was great and we had exceptional service. We highly recommend this new find and will definitely be 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!”
“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…”
“Alastair was amazing! Espresso martini was the best I’ve ever had! That salt topping was on point! The personality from the bartender was outstanding! Very welcoming and astonishing environment! Very clean and like I said welcoming! What a gem!”
“This is my favorite stake house, I think you get the most value for your buck. There are fancier restaurants that many times disappointed me in the past and were much more expensive”
“i had take out delivetrd by Uber eats and it came in greasy paper bags, so at first I was mad. Then I ate the food and it is super dang tasty. i orerded all appetizers. Super delicious. would order it all again”
“Walked in to k-pot an hour before close and was told I could not be served. Walked in to olive garden 12 minutes before close and was served. Well done for closing at your advertised time.”

“Our favorite restaurant no longer serves Manhattan style clam chowder and we are nothing less than heartbroken. We didn't realize that our favorite thing there wasn't popular enough to retain as a menu item when Leo's changed hands. We can live with the smaller lobster tails, but this is really hard for us to take. Cry.”
“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!”
“It is always a joy to visit Boardwalk subs on plainfield ave in Grand Rapids, MI the staff on duty especially: Tammy, Matt, Marissa, and Natashia all know us by name and what kind of sub we like. 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.”

“A welcoming bar/restaurant. Busy but not loud. Our server was nice and took our drink order right away. Prices are very reasonable. We got there late evening and we were not rushed to order or eat. A really enjoyable dining experience. It's downtown Grand Rapids so parking can be somewhat hard to find close by on weekend nights because that's where everyone is at. I didn't mind the walk though.”
“Cyd was the sweetest server I've ever had. Always been given fantastic service at Beltane Bar but Cyd offered something extra that I've never had the pleasure of experiencing anywhere else. She made my birthday dinner with family so much fun and I hope Beltane Bar knows how lucky they are to have her. Thanks again for everything.”
“The bleu cheese burger was one of the best burgers Ive ever had! The savory Bleu cheese complemented the white stuff cheddar patty and all of the other toppings so wonderfully! Cool, fun atmosphere with games to play during your wait for your food. Great place to experience. Staff was welcoming.”
“Alyssa the bartender was amazing!! I didn't get any alcohol but I did try the new dirty soda in Dr Pepper and the blue Mountain Dew, both were so good. And that's coming from someone who normally orders water exclusively! Overall great atmosphere. I want to come to this location many times more.”
“Mertens Prime is a beautiful establishment filled with history. It's a gorgeous facility that has 3 different venues and is absolutely perfect for weddings and events. I love that they have a scratch kitchen and that they do a seasonal menu. If you've never been, I suggest you go there.”
“We went to the Grand Rapids location and we're very happy with the service. Gabby was a delightful waitress and when we go back we will be requesting her table. She made the experience so enjoyable. We likened the experience to Fogo de Chao but it was so much better because the food was hot and the staff were so helpful. If you want some fine dining with excellent service, I recommend this to anybody!”

“Rumi’s Garden was our first time trying Afghan food, and it was a great introduction to the cuisine!
We ordered the Afghani Feast, which is supposed to feed five people, but we actually had enough food to comfortably feed six. Everything was really delicious and well seasoned without being overly spicy. We especially enjoyed the variety of meat selections and how flavorful everything was.
If you’ve never tried Afghan food before, I’d definitely recommend giving Rumi’s Garden a try. It’s a great way to experience something new without feeling overwhelmed by the flavors or spice level.
One cool thing about this location is that it shares the building with Raza, an Indian restaurant that I’m already looking forward to trying next. So if you’re in the Grand Rapids area and want to explore Afghan or Indian food, you’ve got two options right there to check out!”
“Wow! This is one of the best places I've been to in a long time. Their hot plum tea is made in house and was so sweet and delicious. The ramen was tasty and everything I ordered was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. You truly deserve way more than 5 stars! This is a great place to go if you've had a bad day, great atmosphere and wonderfully polite staff. I'll be back very soon!”
“We didn’t check what time they closed so we were kind of jerks and showed up half hour before closing. Even still the staff was all wonderful. It was our first time here so we took a minute ordering, but she was still sweet waiting patiently. When we got the food it was all excellent. They even took my mom’s/grandmas burger back to cut it in half because they always share one. I will definitely be returning hopefully while they still have the Krispy krab burger.”
“I'm a fan of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern foods so I was excited to try this place out. When we got there an hour to close, the owner was out of all his typical authentic foods like shawarmas, but since we were interested, he gave us a free pizza on the house. I still haven't had the chance to go back and try something authentic off the menu but I'm still very excited to return. The owner treats customers very well here.”
“Aletitude has been there for us through multiple delayed flights and travel complications. The service and food is always amazing. Thank you to Shawna for taking care of us this time. If I ever get stuck in the Grand Rapids airport again, I will definitely be back.”
