31 Best Seafood Restaurants in Grand Rapids

“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.“

“The flounder with capers was great but the best part of this establishment was the service. Avery is absolutely out of this world. I’ve never had such a perfect experience. You’re extraordinarily lucky to have a superb employee like her.“

“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.“

“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!“

“best tortas i have ever had!!!!! server was top notch. atmosphere was great. could not recommend a better place. Definitely 5 stars“

“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!“

“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.“

“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! 🍤 🦐 🦀 🎭 🍸 🧉 🍷 💜💚💛“

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

“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.“

“We did 13.95 for so called homemade "hash" it was a joke. it was the size of a drinking cup around and flat in size. That and toast. drinks were 3.99 no refill. Plus they were serving coke out of 2 L. warm. When served warm and adding ice, it diluted it. We get better food for same price at Mr. Burger with refills on drinks. Glad their closing. Not even acceptional food. I fell bad for the waitress. She was awsome.“

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

“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!“

“ordered a bowl of pho and it was exactly what i was craving. the broth was rich and flavorful, the noodles were cooked just right, and the meat was tender and well prepared. it came out hot and comforting, making it a perfect meal on a busy day. definitely a dish i'd come back for again.“

“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.“

“The birria is awesome. I love it.“

“This is a really good Chinese restaurant! The staff was kind and courteous, preparing food in a very timely manner. I've been looking for a new Chinese food place to frequent and I think I may have found it in this cute little place! Highly highly recommend!“

“Best around! Love the catfish nuggets and fries! Cooked perfectly, great amount for the price! Friendly smiles and quick service!!“

“I had the Oyster PO Boy and it was simply delicious. The oysters were fresh, seasoned well and lightly breaded. Will definitely come back!“

“The food portions here are huge!!! I bought my boyfriend and I dinner and we will be having leftovers for the next few days. The fried rice was good and the sweet and sour chicken was good, a little tough/dry but overall not horrible, the egg rolls are huge too! I bought a lot food (not expecting the portions to be so huge) so the total was high. I ordered take out through their website, and when I was trying to check out it made me tip. Not a big deal, but kinda werid“

“Best Chinese food all-around. Having lived in China for several years, I can assure you that the fried dumplings are spot on authentic. They're fresh made, not the frozen type. Been ordering take out for years and anything I've ordered is delicious, generous portions too! Can't go wrong here.“

“Been coming here since I was 6. Absolutely adore the owner. He's very attentive and kind to his customers. Has taken the time to learn Spanish. The food is amazing as always. Hablan español. Los conozco desde los 6 años. La comida, como siempre super!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Music was a bit loud and cluby, which I thought was weird. We got three courses. The first 2 (grilled prawns and pastas) were 10/10, some of the best food I've had, but the final main dish (pork chop for me) lacked balance. The first few bites were impressive but the richness eventually exhausted my palette. more like an 8.5/10. The food was in general great and very high quality and well thought out. The staff were very nice and the atmosphere felt mostly sophisticated.

Overall, I'm pleased with my experience and would recommend it to anyone looking for elevated Italian food on this side of the Atlantic.“

“Shoutout Atlantic Fish Market food was hot and fresh like always but big thank you for the good food and hospitality it really made my night the free 3 pc. chicken tenders dinner was more than enjoyable with my perfect seasoned perch Merry Christmas to your hard working staff wishing many more years of success🎄❤️🥰🎁“

“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.“

“Love the grilled cod and rice and coleslaw“

“A Hidden Gem on 28th Street — Comfort Food Royalty / Store 70140 ✨✨✨
LONG JOHN SLIVERS

If you ever find yourself craving comfort food that hits the soul just right, let me tell you something: the Long John Silver’s on 28th Street by Woodland Mall is THAT spot. I’m serious — this drive-thru is in a league of its own.

From the moment you pull up, the customer service is impeccable. Not “good,” not “nice,” but genuinely warm, fast, and on point every single time. These people care. You can feel it. They talk to you like a human being, not just another car in line, and honestly? That alone makes my whole day.

And the food? Baby… fresh, hot, crisp, and perfect. Every. Single. Time. You can tell they take pride in what they’re doing back there. No soggy fish. No lukewarm fries. No “did this sit under a heat lamp for an hour?” vibes. It’s old-school comfort food done RIGHT — the way you remember it when you were a kid, but even better.

In a world where fast-food service can be hit or miss, this location shows up like the gold star of the neighborhood. They’re consistent, they’re kind, and they deliver exactly what they promise: hot, delicious comfort food with customer service that honestly feels rare these days.

To the team at this Long John Silver’s: thank you. You make 28th Street feel a little brighter.“
