Kid-friendliness: Staff interacted great with my son. Very friendly. My son gave our server a sticker and she put it right on her shirt and wore it the whole time we were here. The cook came out and was talking to my son about trick or treating. Very nice staff.

This is the best place in Grand Rapids to get breakfast! Their lunch menu is incredible as well. They offer lots of vegetarian options and gluten free options and the service is always amazing! I love the different coffee mugs and the music is top tier! I tell everyone about them!

This is my new regular spot.
Here you have good variation, & modern options (GF, V). You have diverse staff, all with good attitudes. You have great portions for the price point.
Most importantly, you have great quality and execution. You cannot go wrong here

Wheelchair accessibility: Narrow walkways and heavy doors make it not very ada friendly

The food was great! Lots of options that all looked interesting, wish I could have tried more. I had the Music City Hangover-really good. Trendy diner atmosphere. The only real downside was that we came right when they switched from "seat yourself" to "add your name to the waitlist". We were the first name on the waitlist and none of the staff even came to look at the list for about 20 minutes.

Overall, the food seems promising. The siesta burrito was great but the basic breakfast items were small portions and extremely bland. The servers were nice BUT there were clearly not enough of them. They were responsible for seating tables, serving, bussing, and making milkshakes. They just didn’t have enough time to provide good service, so everything took way too long. If this place had more staff then they might be a good brunch spot.

We were on a trip to Grand Rapids and decided to try this place for breakfast. It was fantastic! We’ve had breakfast in dozens of places and this is definitely one I would try again. I love that I can get French toast that also comes with potatoes and meat. My food was great - I could taste the cinnamon in the French toast, the seasoned potatoes were crispy and fresh, and the bacon was thick. My dad orders a ham and cheese omelette with American cheese at every restaurant, and this one was perfect - cheesy and well-cooked. We were there on a Thursday morning so it was not busy, the service was fine but not overly friendly. If we were in the area again I would come back and try some of the other interesting options.
Parking: Did not see a parking lot, had to use a meter across the street

The mushroom burger was BEYOND! We will be back! Great customer service! 😊
It was just fine, nothing more. Nothing as good as the original Lansing location.
I ordered basted eggs but the server said they wouldn’t do that? I’ve been to the Lansing location many times and they’ve never said no to basted eggs. I guess I don’t understand what the reason would be for not doing them. I almost wonder if the server just didn’t know what it meant and wasn’t willing to take the time to ask the kitchen.
I ended up ordering a breakfast taco in a panic move when she said no to my original order. It was just ok. VERY plain. Just scrambled eggs and bacon. No cheese, no sauce, no salsa.
Service was also pretty slow and staff had that general vibe of “we’re too busy to be appreciative of your business.” Waitress never checked on us after dropping off our food and we were done for quite a while before getting our checks. Interior decor was a very cool vibe tho.
I love the Lansing location, so I was excited to try this one, but in the future it’s not where I’d pick for breakfast in GR. Too many other great options nearby that would have no problem with a very simple order of basted eggs.

Such a great vibe! Had a wonderful meal, where the only problem was choosing from great options. Service was A+ and we’ll definitely be coming back!
Given how many good reviews there are I would try this place again but it was once of the worst breakfasts I've had in a long time. I had a hot chicken breakfast and the plate was swimming in hot sauce with little to no gravy and I couldn't even get halfway through it. I saw another picture of this dish posted here and it looks completely different. My friends food was just fine but I think we'll wait to return for a while...

First time here. I had the fiesta migas and hubby had the pancakes. Both were amazing! Really recommend the tortillas with the migas so you can make tacos, the potatoes on the side are great also. I don't know what seasoning they use but it's phenomenal. Next time we're in town, we'll definitely be back
