New American Restaurants in Grand Rapids, MI

“Great menu selection, great service.. the sweet potato breakfast - I do not recommend… 🤷🏼‍♀️ went out elsewhere for a 2nd breakfast..“

“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.“

“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 :)“

“My Wife and I stopped in for dinner tonight, and everything was amazing! She had some kind of salmon and I had the melt in your mouth smoked ribeye sandwich. We also had an order of Brussels sprouts that were the best I have ever had.“

“Santa brunch was so fun. Our kids had a great time! The new location is beautiful. So happy we went!“

“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.“

“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.“

“1st time coming here and it was wonderful! Service was spectacular thanks to my wonderful server Tomas! Food was good too. I always like to go with a standard when I go somewhere new and they didn't disappoint! I got the chicken tenders and loaded tots. And im telling you, that breading/seasoning on the chicken was delicious. Even the sauces were superb. My only complaint was I had nothing to take home because I smashed all of it. Bonus note, if there's a game on that you want to watch, just ask! There's enough tvs in here for everyone.“

“I love my chicken Alfredo bowl and it last me for two days!“

“Yesterday was my first time eating here and the food was amazing! As someone who has had celiac disease for over a decade and had never eaten at a 100% gluten free restaurant, the experience was surreal. 🥹 To be able to look at a menu and order anything I wanted was an incredible feeling. The food was delicious and staff were very friendly! I am so thankful to have had this experience and I will be back soon! (Also, I highly recommend the mozzarella sticks❤️)“

“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!“

“Love the diner feel. The food is amazing, fast. the staff super friendly. We will definitely be back.“

“I recommend taking the place in as a whole. The story, the owners, the service, the food, the folks sitting next to you ready to have a friendly conversation. You just have to see it for yourself.“

“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!!“

“A fantastic hidden gem! The atmosphere was unique and authentic, the food was amazing (highly recommend the wings), and the service was top notch. The place is a little hidden but totally worth it - you won't be disappointed.“

“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.“

“Amazing food, environment, drinks💗You must go!“

“Unique and creative craft food and drink menu, all reasonable priced. Staff is friendly and professional. Best river front restaurat in Grand Rapids. Plenty of FREE parking after 5pm. Highly recommend if you're looking for a new dining experience. They will not disappoint!“

“Everything is good at Charlie’s“

“Shaun the bartender, server, host busses, was Amazing! Kept our glasses full, made sure we had everything and everything was satisfactory. The Mr Fable burger took me back in time, was amazing. Cheese curds cooked to perfection. It's a hidden spot you need to visit. (it's in the Double Tree Hotel)“

“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!“

“Speak Ez Lounge has a very friendly staff and a great atmosphere. The drinks they have are fun and different. It's comfortable on the inside and has live music with dates and times posted. We didn't have any of the food but all the drinks were well made and good.“

“This place used to be called Coopers and praise Christ it isn't anymore. The green bean fries are to die for, also took my cousin here on his 21st birthday and let's just say he doesn't want to drink Jim Beam ever again heh heh“

“Burger was very tasty. Fries were a bit over cooked but ok. Mac and cheese was ok. Had quite a collection of ciders on tap with quite a variety of flavors, some that were good. The Tues burger and pint special was a very good deal though. Would definitely go back for that.“

“Healthy good food! 5stars!!!!“

“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!“

“Great food and wait staff. The hostess needs some major training. She does greet you or make you feel welcome. No personality and not one smile.“

“My daughter and I went to Cork Wine & Grille for an afternoon birthday lunch! The food was delicious. We had shrimp tacos, recommended by our server, Haley and for dessert a peanut butter pie. Great service and excellent food, we will definitely be back!“

“Love the diner feel. The food is amazing, fast. the staff super friendly. We will definitely be back.“

“Love the diner feel. The food is amazing, fast. the staff super friendly. We will definitely be back.“

“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“

“Grat community of individuals working hard to bring great taste to the area!! Bravo ?“

“We came to try out the city sen restaurant. My husband had the mushroom goat cheeseburger. He said it was juicy and flavorful --no condiments necessary. I had the beef quesadillas. although this was on the shareable menu, it was quite large enough for me as a meal. The food was good, but it was the little amenities that made it very special --the unique silverware, carafe of ice water and pleasant ambient music in a modern setting made it a very special place for our date. It was fun to people watch through the open air windows. ( they fold close to keep in the AC if needed )Alex the manager shared with us some things we want to come back for, live music, etc. definitely planning to go back!

Wheelchair accessibility: The restrooms are quite large with low sinks and wide stalls. Although they are on the lower level, the elevator is also large and quite quick.“

“Just visited last night and the staff and the atmosphere was amazing! Highly recommend!!!“

“Visiting from Bucks County Pennsylvania , I found the food, service and drinks were absolutely Delicious.“

“Good food would recommend“

“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.“

“Great service, pleasant atmosphere, and a convenient location. We loved the Sweet Potato Pancake with Bacon, Potatoes, and Desserts. We were very disappointed with the Chicken Tenders, they were very dry. Perhaps we had a bad batch because they didn't look like the tenders on their website. We would go again, and make different main meal choices.“

“Amazing Stromboli’s. And the place is so awesome and great service.“

“The food was good but the bill did not reflect the prices on the menu. My dish had $15 on menu, I was charged $17. Drinks had $3.25, I was charged $4.00 each for both and it was in alcohol category.“

“Atmosphere was great had a nice art deco feel. Line to get in kept moving no waiting forever for simple ticket check. The only problem we had was the drink prices were a bit high. Granted tic for comedy show we're not overpriced we understood the 2 drink minimum but when 4 drinks turned out to be $40+. Little much for high moon seltzers and jack/sprite“

“I have breakfast or brunch here every time I'm in the area, and I am never disappointed. The staff here is so warm and welcoming. The restaurant itself has a nice, clean, modern vibe. The avocado toast is the best I've ever had! 💕“
