30 Best Seafood Restaurants in Grand Rapids

“I have to say at first I was skeptical. They were having quite a night and were over seated for our reservation, but Sierra was fantastic and made sure we got our seats as fast as she could, and even came back to check on us several times and was very friendly. Brett, our server, went above and beyond, was super busy, but made sure to take good care of us! I’d definitely go back just because of these two! Great food was the bonus! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Highly recommend dining here. Everything we had from appetizers to main course was outstanding. The staff went above and beyond and were very friendly. It was by far the best quality dining out meal we have had in a long time. 5 stars!“

“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.“

“Delicious meal. Great service.“

“Amazing as always! A favorite for us“

“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.“

“buenas comida delicioso platillos“

“First time here. Food was phenomenal. Good size portions, fresh ingredients and friendly service !!“

“There's a reason this fishy joint has been popular for decades. And it starts with the food. And then you throw in staff who are welcoming, attentive, accommodating and enjoy the customer experience a great interaction and product, you have a recipe (no pun intended - but it sure looks that way) for a business that will stand for decades. I'd bet on being just the same if I stopped in after 40 years. Same great food. Same great staff. Same great Fat Man's Fish Fry.“

“Birria was super flavorful and service was friendly!“

“Been coming to this place for years, the food is always amazing and the service. Today, Jacob served us and was super kind and attentive. We always recommend this place to friends and family, if you’re looking for a fun spot to dine this is a must!“

“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.“

“Food is fantastic and so is the service every single time!!“

“We absolutely love the food here! Their pho is so tasty! Staff is friendly and kind. Highly recommended.“

“So for a place that doesn’t seem to advertise, a small spot thats attached to a grocery store, several other restaurants and in a neighborhood with many other options, I was glad to have stopped in. Service was friendly and quick, so many options but my group settled on several different options. Everything was delicious, rich, flavorful and what seems very fresh. This could be my new spot for Pho or a soup day meal. The rice and shrimp were cooked well. Great place to stop and try if you like Vietnamese.“

“The guy at the front has a great personality good food!“

“thoughtfully made, reminds me of old school Chinese takeout. Generous with the helpings and toppings. Lunch portion is great. fried rice is great with Mongolian bf. Im an egg drop soup girly, this only place that makes really good sweet n sour soup. the service is always friendly and kind. The bakery is really cute, the buns are tasty and very instagram worthy“

“They are my # 1 go to place for Chinese food, we have been going to this restaurant for about 18 years now. They give u so much food when you order whatever my favorites are the orange chicken combination, or beef or pork lomein, sweet and sour chicken combination, beef and broccoli comb, Mongolian beef combo, these are some of our favorites but try whatever and I promise you will not be disappointed. Yes the prices have increased because of the inflation of everything going up of course but they didn't go up that much like 2-3 bucks more. But for all the food you get it's definitely worth it. Hell I even have food left over for the next day. Definitely give them a try you won't be disappointed. The family that owns the place are really super sweet, very good folks.“

“Love this place! Megan was our server and she was just the sweetest thing! So kind, honestly best service we’ve ever had! Definitely going back and requesting her!“

“So this review is just for take out, I've never eaten in. I've been satisfied with everything I've ordered. Chinese food is hard to review, because everyone has their preference. But I've ordered Chinese food from restaurants that cost twice as much, and tasted the same or worse. I was bummed that China Garden didn't have teriyaki chicken. But their BBQ chicken (I just like saying "chicken on a stick") is so crispy in a good way, that I want all my "chicken on a stick" to be like theirs! Also, they were open in a massive, everyone shut down everything, snow storm. So, I'll drive out of my way to go here.“

“As someone visiting from out of town, I had a rough experience when I placed an order with what turned out to be an abandoned location. Confused and disappointed, I came across this nearby spot and decided to ask if they were affiliated. Not only were they not connected, but they were just as shocked as I was about what had happened.

What truly touched me was the kindness and compassion of Mrs. Omar and Mrs. Christian. These two amazing ladies didn’t just express sympathy—they offered me a free meal without hesitation. Their generosity and warmth turned a frustrating experience into one that reminded me how good people can be.

The food was delicious, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the customer service was beyond exceptional. Thank you both for your kindness—I will never forget it. If you’re in the area, this place is a must-visit not just for the food, but for the heart behind it.🥹🙏🏾 God Bless you all.“

“We usually go to the LJS near our home but were out on the other end of town. We were met by a lady named Andrea, whom I believe was the manager. She flashed us a big smile with a hearty “welcome”. The place was so clean, and bright. Food prepared by Dave was crispy and delicious. Just a shout out to them both! We visited the LJS out on 28th street Grand Rapids, MI. Keep up the great job you two!!“
