Went to go get a three-piece tender today and got a box of french fries with no tenders.

I recently took my son to Cousin’s Tasty Chicken after hearing that this classic Grand Rapids restaurant serves some of the best chicken in West Michigan — and it certainly lived up to its reputation. The portions were generous and very reasonably priced. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly and helpful, which added to the overall positive experience.

The menu offers an great selection of chicken, fish, and seafood, along with a wide variety of sides including fries, cheese curds, onion rings, and hush puppies to name a few. We tried the chicken tenders (both regular and spicy), French fries, and hush puppies — all were delicious and much better than what you get from similar restaurants in the area.

While some have mentioned that the interior is a bit dated, we found that it added to the charm, evoking a classic American restaurant atmosphere that’s become increasingly rare.

I highly recommend Cousin’s Tasty Chicken to anyone looking for excellent food, great service, and a nostalgic dining experience in Grand Rapids.

Their chicken and sides is always amazing, and the staff is polite and helpful. My friends recommended me, and I'm going to keep coming back.

This place has the best fried chicken in G.R. Light and flavorful breading, juicy and moist chicken meat, tender and flaky catfish, the home made tartar sauce isn't necessary but it's so good you should try it just for the experience. You can dine in. You can order right from your table with a scan app. The hush puppies were really good. Very generous sized portions. Lots of gravy on the mashed potatoes. They've got gizzards and smelt on the menu. If I had to relocate, Cousins would be a landmark I'd want near me. The guy said he's been in biz 42 years. Google has almost 2K organic reviews for this place. All the staff were friendly and engaged. They deserve 5+ stars! I will be back, again and again and again! Thanks Cousins!!

I've been going there for years and moved to North Carolina three years ago and was back in town for a week or two and decided to get some good chicken but it wasn't what I've expected. So it's changed a lot since then but overall service was great.

The food at Cousins Tasty Chicken was great! The fried chicken was juicy, the French Fries were nice and potato-ey (not like some restaurants where you just get a husk of a French Fry,) and the Raspberry Cheesecake Egg Rolls were solid. I also decided to try their Mac & Cheese Bites. I was afraid they were gonna be like the frozen, store-bought quality which I don’t enjoy, but they ended up being some of the tastiest Mac & Cheese Bites I’ve ever had. I hope to be back in GR soon so that I can give some other items on the menu a try!
