“stopped into Grill 111 after work this week for the first time, and it definitely won’t be my last! I had the filet, and it was absolutely amazing — perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. The staff was friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. Great atmosphere, excellent service, and incredible food. Highly recommend Grill 111 if you’re looking for a great meal in Rockford!“

“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.“

“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.“

“We enjoyed a delicious brunch, as well as the performances by staff. We also enjoyed walking around the rest of the unique spaces. The Rickroll from the "landline" phone was hilarious!“

“Great service and food ! Friendly vibe“

“Love this bar, most everyone takes great care of the customers. Cole was my waiter tonight and he is always so attentive, friendly, and accommodating. I was sitting alone and he made sure I was taken care of the entire time I was here! ❤️“

“Vinny's is exactly what you think it is and it makes it a perfect dive bar full of lovely people and western Michigan culture located on the northeast side of Grand Rapids. Vinny's provides a down home spirit and a great place to grab a PBR and test your luck playing a little Keno. Come to Vinny's where you are sure to make a friend and have a good heartfelt conversation about the philosophy of life. Vinny's, it's exactly what you think it is where community is always on tap, even if the beers aren't.“

“We love the college inn! We feel lucky to have it as our neighborhood bar! Always lively, good drinks, fair prices! Kay is typically our bar tender and we love her, she’s always fun to talk to and takes everyone’s orders as soon as they walk in. Never a bad time at the inn 🤠“

“Great place to hang out with friends and have a good time! Friendly atmosphere and great prices on food and drinks!“

“REOPENED and better than ever, but limited food options for a couple months.

I spoke with the bartender and he explained they were able to get most everything up and running again back in mid December, but there is still a bit of painting and they need to build up their revenue to purchase new kitchen equipment to bring their menu back fully. They do offer a few options like quesadillas, nachos, and so on, but not much.

- Service: Same great personable service.

- Atmosphere: Everything is clean and new.

They have two pool tables and they are in great shape. They cost $1, which is the going price for a game of pool these days. They also have dart boards, but we do not use them and cannot speak to that. They have an ATM machine and change machine.

The wood flooring brings new vibrancy. The walls are clean. Everything feels new (because it is). Some of the paraphernalia includes mild adult material, so I would not bringing kids.

- Conclusion: Glad to see The Web back on their feet better than before. I enjoy coming to play pool. Hope to have a burger there soon.

Visited on a Tuesday at 7pm.

Parking: The parking lot is actually bigger and nicer than previously.“

“Great burgers on Bike Night“

“I love Hopcat. I have been before and I'll come again. The beers and fries were great, the burgers seemed a bit small this time around. The stand out this time was our server, Sophie. While it took a bit of time to be greeted, once we were, she was spot on. I hope to have her as a server again.“

“What a fun spot for Christmas drinks! Stopped in thanks to Lori - stayed for a few rounds thanks to her, Dustin & J & the rest of the ‘A team’ . Thanks for a great Sunday! See you in July!!“

“Fantastic Olive burger! Dare I say best ever! Flame Broiled burger! Husband got Broasted chicken plate. Super good! 13 year old son got his own build your own burger. He said it was the best burger ever! He considers himself a burger condesur as many teenagers do. Best kept Cedar Springs Secret!“

“This is one of my favorite late-night spots on the NE side. Randy is, without a doubt, the best bartender in Grand Rapids. The food is surprisingly good, especially for a bowling alley, and the prices are fair. They also have great pool tables.“

“Great bar on the West Side of Grand Rapids! You can't beat the $6 burger and beer special on Wednesdays, and all the other weekly specials. Definitely a spot to check out!!“

“I spent a couple hours here one summer afternoon enjoying a few drinks and taking in the ambiance. It’s quite a cozy Irish pub that seems to have a group of regulars who give the bar a welcoming feel. I’ll definitely drop by again when I’m in the neighborhood.“

“Smells like mushrooms and People look like they want to hurt me. five stars. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“There are THREE sides to every story. First Side, the Triangle Bar is a classic westside neighborhood bar/establishment adding character to this old school westside community. Second Side, the staff and bar tender are PHENOMENAL and super friendly. This place has a loyal clientele who call this place home. Third Side, free popcorn a pool table and overall great local dive vibe. The Triangle Tavern is a MUST if you want to experience authentic lower westside culture.“

“Was in tonight for dinner in GR on the front patio with a couple girlfriends and we were approached by a homeless man who tried to grab our bags. I’m reaching out to praise your manager and the rest of the staff for taking our concerns seriously and jumping into action. Top notch team you’ve got there. You were already a go to spot for us, but even moreso now. Thank you for a great spot, delicious menu, and for making your patrons safety a top priority!!“

“My dog Finley loves this place and the staff are all great. Nice to have somewhere indoors to escape the bad weather in Michigan!“

“Great beers, food, and service! Highly recommend.“

“We hosted a baby shower for my son and daughter‑in‑law today, and everything was fantastic. Kirsten was so fun to work with and helped plan the menu, and the whole team was incredibly flexible throughout the process. The food was delicious, and the banquet room had such a warm, inviting atmosphere.

Jody, the owner, was friendly, helpful, and offered great guidance along the way. Our waitress, Alecia (sp), was wonderful—quick to bring anything we needed and even helped carry all the gifts out at the end.

We truly appreciated the service and care from everyone involved. It made the day feel special.“

“I just ordered take out!! It's always so good!! Happy Valentines Day!“

“Food and atmosphere have always been great. However, lately the pizza sauce flavor has declined. In addition - the side salad is terrible. A bowl of dry spring mix with a few tomatoes and a handful of cheese. Flavorless. A better mix of greens - add some romaine and iceberg, toss on a couple cucumbers. Meatballs! Yum!“

“I rarely leave reviews, but our service that last two visits deserve it! Our kids love the free popcorn and card games. We love the food and drinks, and June is the best bartender and waitress! She reminded us what real hospitality feels like, remembers us and our orders from previous visits, and made real connections with our teens. We'll definitely be back on nights when she's working!“

“The price of the drinks is very reasonable. The bar tenders are always friendly. They recently got a card machine so you don't have to bring a wad of cash with you. It's always a good hangout if you want to play pool or shuffleboard.“

“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.“

“Had a great experience. The fish and chips was insanely good as were the chips(fries). Loved the onion rings. I didnt love the cheese curds as much as they weren't the traditional north Midwest cheese curd..but as a whole everything we had was very very good. Will be back“

“The Brickyard Tavern exceeded all expectations! The food was exceptional, with the standout being the crab Rangoon dip—it was even better than it sounds, which is saying a lot. Despite the place being“
