32 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.“

“Stopped in for the first time last night for our anniversary. The staff was amazing, as was the food! We will be visiting often! Thanks for the wonderful dining experience, it was a great part of a very special night!“

“I really enjoy coming here for my Americano.Great barista ,quiet comfortable atmosphere,good Americanos with fair pricing.“

“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!“

“Good burger and great service.

- Half-Pound BFG Burger - $19: The patty had a slight steak-like seasoning to it. It was fairly juicy and cooked to my medium-level preference as requested. The cheese and signature sauce complimented well. The toppings were fresh. The lettuce was shredded (my favorite way), but was a tad overemphasized. The bun had a harder crust, but was plenty soft on the inside. Overall, it was fall-apart delicious and high quality.

- Fries (comes with the burger): Standard medium to large cut. They were served very hot. I thought the salt was just right, but my son added more salt to his tastes.

- Bread: THE VERY BEST BREAD IN TOWN! My favorite Italian restaurant has bread almost exactly like this and I have been looking for something similar to it. Bonefish’s bread is a little less sweet and slightly drier, but still AMAZING. The bread has a thicker exterior and a soft but heavy, moist, and sweet interior. It is served with a generous portion of olive oil and herbs.

- Service: Our server was wonderful, engaging, positive, and kind. We really appreciated our time there. Everything was right on.

- Atmosphere: Very professional, organized, and classy. It had a modern feel with low light and “candles” (actually battery powered lights).

- Conclusion: I would recommend their burger and just about everything about them.

Visited on a Saturday at 2pm.“

“buenas comida delicioso platillos“

“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.“

“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 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!“

“This was our first time ordering from them. Staff was super friendly and helpful. We ordered rhe garlic parm boneless wings and they were delicious, they just could have used a touch more garlic flavor. All we really tasted was the butter and parm. Again, very good, just missed taste of garlic. Their fries and fried okra were delicious! Atmosphere was loud due to the kitchen. Fryers going and such. Was hard to hear the staff when I was ordering. All in all, we will be back for sure to try other things 😀“

“This is one of my favorite restaurants in Grand Rapids. The food is exceptional and the staff is a family that remembers you. I've been eating this family's food to around 20 years even before they moved to this location. The pho is comfort food. I get the #9 beef soup. Also, the beef stew pho, shrimp toast, fresh rolls, and crispy egg rolls are so good. Try the vietnamese iced coffee and fresh Lemonade they squeeze by hand. Great value food.“

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

“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🎄❤️🥰🎁“

“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.“

“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“

“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!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“Allora delivered a really enjoyable dining experience, with a few standout moments that made the night memorable.

The scallops were cooked perfectly,beautiful sear on the outside with a tender, buttery center. Paired with the creamy risotto and vegetables, it was a well-balanced dish that felt both comforting and elevated. The wine selection was also excellent, with plenty of great options to complement the meal.

What truly stood out, though, was the service, specifically Zion. While he wasn’t our main server, he consistently checked in, refilled water, and brought dishes to the table with such a positive, upbeat energy. Every interaction with him felt genuine, and he really elevated the overall experience. It’s rare when someone leaves that kind of impression, but he absolutely did.

Brendan, who was covering for the manager, was also very pleasant and contributed to the welcoming atmosphere.

Overall, the food and drinks were very good, but it was the people, especially Zion, who made the night feel special. I’d definitely return.“

“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.“
