West Michigan nostalgia vibes for anyone who grew up in the area. Reliable menu items like soup, pie, sandwiches, breakfast, but the simpler the order, usually the better the end result. Service truly depends on the day, and if you’re being seen by a local teenager during the slow summer shift or a practiced friendly member of staff. Very reasonably priced food but the service and turn out are usually a gamble.

Parking: Huge parking lot at both locations

Kid-friendliness:...

Russ’s offers an American based restaurant with a Dutch spin to it. It’s been around for many years, and I have fond memories from both dining there and working there during my early college years.

It’s very popular with tourists to come to the area for a bit of a Dutch experience.
