It was our first time here so we took a minute ordering, but she was still sweet waiting patiently. When we got the food it was all excellent. They even took my mom’s/grandmas burger back to cut it in half because they always share one. I will definitely be returning hopefully while they still have the Krispy krab burger.”

“This restaurant came recommend to me as the best steakhouse in Grand Rapids. I was not disappointed. The staff was friendly (Kathryn) and answered all my questions. The atmosphere is perfect for a fancy date. Very romantic setting to impress. I don't drink alcohol and they had an alcohol free 0% Giasen Merlot which was exquisite. I started with French Onion Soup and Cheese Popover Muffins. For an entree, I had Australian Rib Lamb Chops with a Mint Demi Glase. For a side, I enjoyed Brussels Sprouts with Honey Dijon Mustard Sause. Everything exceeded my expectations and the Merlot paired nicely with the Lamb Chops. I highly recommend the Chop House as a must visit dining destination in the heart of Grand Rapids.”

Make sure you checkout the bathrooms whether you need to use them or not! THE. FOOD. Wow!!! I ordered the Blackberry Bacon Jam Grilled Cheese with their naked fries. It was heaven on a plate. Honestly was worried the blackberry jam would be seedy and it wasn’t at all! My partner ordered the single Queso Dog with Cosmic Fries and said it was very good. We will definitely visit again! Note: Our group was a party of 20. We made reservations a week prior. Kid friendly! We brought my son and he had a blast playing the games and said the burger was one of the best he had!”

31 Monkey Island Cafe

4.8 Superb 5 Reviews

John Ball Park Ballroom, 1300 Fulton Street West, Grand Rapids · 8.04 miles

“Convenient. - Cheeseburger Basket - $11.75: The cheeseburger was taken from a warmer. The cheese was melted, but solid and stuck to the bun and tore the bun while trying to add toppings that were given separate from the cheeseburger. The toppings were very fresh and crisp, however. The burger patty was still juicy and cooked good. The bun was still soft and fresh. - Fries (included in basket): Crinkle cut and on the thinner side. They cooled really fast and were tough. Eat them immediately. They needed a bit of salt, too. - Super Pretzel - $6: Soft inside and lots of salt. It was on the darker side and tough, but okay. - Service: Fairly immediate and helpful. - Conclusion: You are mainly paying for convenience here. It is not bad, but it is nothing much to write home about. The burger was okay. Visited on a Friday (Fourth of July) at 3:30pm.”

“Stopped in for the salad bar as we were passing thru town. I looked up a good salad bar in the area and this place came up. 1st of all our server was so great! She was super sweet!! What was on the salad bar was not refreshed. Had to ask for salad to be filled, they did make a fresh pizza for us which was nice. No radishes, broccoli and so many other things were near empty. I did ask the hostess to see if someone would please refill it all but it never happened. I assume if everything was filled and fresh it would be great though!! Made no sense to us why no one payed attention to keeping it full.”

“Amazing atmosphere. Good food. Prices are too cheap for the quality that you get. - Cheeseburger - $3.50: Yes, I had a burger for breakfast. If you follow me on Google Maps, you’ll know this isn’t beneath me. I am looking for the best burgers. This one was good. The burger patty was juicy and cooked just right, probably a quarter pound. The bacon really added to it and it was a generous portion. You assemble it with the rest of what is on the plate so you can choose your portions. The lettuce and tomato were fresh, crispy and not too wet. - Ham and Cheese Omelet - $3: Good. The picture looks a little worse than it actually was. It was served very hot and the ham was a tad on the light side, but the cheese was just right. - Breakfast Fried Rice- $3.50: I visited with friends and one of them had this. It had sesame & ginger fried rice, bacon, scallions, bell peppers, carrots, and peas. It was topped with egg and normally Yum Yum sauce, but they didn’t care for mayo so skipped it. They reported it was good. - Coffee - $0.75: Rich and bold. Some of the best drip-coffee I’ve had. Who charges less than a dollar for coffee anymore?? KCTC is the only one I know of. Most places are $3 now. - Service: Very professional and yet kind and positive. The staff is composed of instructors and students, so be kind (they are learning), but I found that because of this, they genuinely did their very best. The instructors really care and make it enjoyable to learn. - Atmosphere: Wonderful and high class. You have to go through Security before entering the building which means access is limited to students, staff, and invited guests. I have family who attends classes so I was able to stop by and dine. I believe they are only open 7:30-8:30am, but they may be open at other times. Someone else may have to confirm the rest of the details. - Conclusion: The value is insane! At these prices, they could almost give me garbage and I’d be happy. Instead, they served wonderful food. I would HIGHLY recommend this place!! Visited on a Tuesday at 7:30am.”

“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 :)”
