“Waiter, food, coffee, speed ambiance great. Difficult to find if no gps
GPS. Only 3 tables occupied and a guy at the bar, but he was loudly conversing on his phone the entire time and a group of 7 old ladies were exceedingly loud and cackling. Why do people have to be so damn Loud? This place would benefit from some noise abatement technology.“

“get a manager that owns up to poor service. waited too long to place our order. waited way too long -over an hour- for 3 meals which we ended up taking as carry out had to ask for a manager and she never came to our table. all while watching those sat after us getting served. i get things happen....i don't get blatant lack of professionalism in management. i always look to support local. thankfully i have other options in Rockford.“

“✨ A Little Slice of Heaven on Earth ✨ We had the true pleasure of enjoying breakfast at this beautiful little diner, and we just have to give thanks where it’s due. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed like family. The kindness of the staff, the warmth of the atmosphere, and the care they put into every plate—it was more than a meal; it was ministry in the form of hospitality. In a world that moves so fast, this place reminded us to slow down, give thanks, and enjoy the blessings God places in front of us. The food was made with love, the coffee was brewed with intention, and the smiles were served without limit. We wholeheartedly recommend this diner to anyone looking for more than just good food—this is where hearts are fed too. God bless this team and their hands that serve so faithfully. We will definitely be back. 🙏 #SupportSmallBusiness #GodIsInTheDetails #BlessedAndFed #LocalLove #FaithAndFood“

“I'm an old guy and this was perhaps the BEST fast food I've ever received! My wife definitely agrees with that. All of the food was fresh and hot and delicious. The onion rings, OH the onion rings! Beer battered crispy fresh and incredible. Chicken cashew salads had lots of unsalted cashews just like it's supposed to be. The chicken was hot moist and flavorful. Not rubbery or dry. Nice combination of fresh leafy greens. Now so you will know that this review is legit I just recently reviewed a Wendy's in Big Rapids, MI. which was some of the worst food I've ever received. The salads were spoiled (actually rotten) to the degree that we had to dispose of two entire meals. But this one just a little North of Grand Rapids and just East of route 131 (Rockford Mi i believe) was fantastic. Did I mention the onion rings? Oh my the onion rings.“

“If you’re over in the Grand Rapids/Rockford area, definitely go check out the Corner Bar, Rockford Michigan. I was there to take in their coney dog challenge, but my wife and daughter’s food was amazing too. My daughter who NEVER finishes her plates completely devoured her pulled pork pasta. Super fun atmosphere and the staff was great. Also a HUGE selection of root beer and local beers on tap. We are from the greater Lansing area, but plan on definitely making the trip west again to try other amazing looking things on their menu.“
