You know Rico's is doing something right when they boast a perfect 5 star rating!…read more Rico, Jessica and Lupe were very gracious when I called in my order at 1:59pm when they were due to close from 2-5pm. They made me a delicious panini grilled cheese and veggie sandwich that was a perfect compliment to the recommended chili. I added onions and cheese to my chili and it was phenomenal! Flavorful and the exact right amount of spice. The whole mom 'n pop shop had fun add-ons that could be purchased like candy cigarettes, local pops and delicious sounding pints of ice-cream. I'm happy I found this little gem. Maybe next time I should test their pizza. Sold by the slice during the day for 3-4 bucks a slice. Definitely recommend the paninis and chili. Good deal for $13 and much tastier and more food than Panera bread's U pick 2. This place deserves all the business! Friendly and affordable. Support local, your stomach will thank you.

Love this place! I've now been to the Grand Rapids location multiple times, and I keep coming back…read morefor a reason. It's a cozy little space on Michigan Street with takeout, pick-up and dine-in options. The food is great and the service has always been very friendly. I've sampled multiple menu items and have not had a bad one yet. While the French Dip and Italian Bomber are good, I have been gravitating towards their burgers, which are exceptional. My boys and I have tried over 40 places for burgers in the GR area, and this is one of our very favorites. The Pickle Poppers and Truffle Fries are tasty sides and the 'Pickle Dippin' Sauce' is quite addictive.

Good LORD this place knocked my socks off. After hearing my vegetarian girlfriend RAVE about their…read moregrilled cheese, I finally gave in and decided to give The Toasted Pickle a shot. And by god, was I impressed. It's a small little sandwich shop off of Michigan Ave that has seating for maaaybe 20 people. I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich to go, and when I got home to open my box, my jaw dropped. These guys put not one, but TWO mf chicken breast cutlets on this poor, poor bun. Topped with delicious house made pickles (their namesake), a fresh and tangly slaw, and a spicy oily sauce, this thing was a behemoth. And for, like, $15?? This is two meals for the average person. My only complaint was that the bun simply could not shoulder the monstrous burden of what it contained. Additionally, dude the fries are phenomenal. And they absolutely LOAD you up. Get the truffle upcharge, it's worth it I promise. I have been a Two Beards fan for the better part of the past 15 years, but man, in terms of value, The Toasted Pickle takes the cake. I can't wait to experience whatever else these guys are whipping up behind the counter.

I got the ranchers roast beef on an onion roll. You could tell the best was freshly cooked, and it was PACKED with meat. The ladies at the counter were so sweet and helped me pick some options that would be great for my first time. You can tell this is a place where locals frequent. Everyone who walked in seemed to know who was working at the counter. Stop in here for a cozy winter soup/sandwich combo!

The owner and i'm presuming daughter made my sandwich and cashed me out. Incredible personality and the food was spectacular. This deli isn't gimmicky or a sideshow- it sells ultra high quality ingredients, bread was toasted perfectly, and the pork on the cuban was butter. They 100% need to raise their prices $11 bucks for a sandwich drink and chips is wild in today's world. They have some fine tuning on signage and mini to perfect but I'd order that sandwich from a piece of printer paper any day. Being from Rockford people complain about the lack of options- hotdogs, burgers, and ice cream have fed this community for years. We are finally getting high quality restaurants in the area and the customer service is ridiculous. Great job Digby's! I'll be in tomorrow.

I've been consistently impressed with Rise in my five years here in GR. I have not been dedicated…read moreto anything like vegetarian or vegan exclusively, but I was raised with a whole lot of alternative food options and what's so amazing how absolutely yummy everything they have on their menu truly is with less of the bad-for-you stuff. Sure it's a little pricey, but you're going to pay more for premium crafted fare. They also have an awesome little patio hidden in the back, which is just delightful on the nice days that we have in the spring and summer and fall in Grand Rapids. They're very convenient to the Zoo so you can include them in making a day out of your excursion on West Fulton. The coffee beverages are top-notch and the baked goods are right there with them. Rise is a highlight of the John Ball hood. Now, this might not be the place for thin-skinned MAGA b*tch-boys with fragile egos and issues -ahem- compensating... but for grownups with regular-sized brains (and other parts) who love an amazing local shop with values that are shared by the city and neighborhood around it? Spot-on. More places like this, and few like union-busting Starbucks, etc. Three cheers, and five stars!

I was quoted $13.99, but unfortunately charged over $16! It wasn't until I looked at my texted receipt that I noticed I was overcharged for half a sub instead of a quarter. Bummer. I went "rogue" with my sub where they turn the sub inside out, rub oil on it and grill it like a panini. It was good and worth the $.75 upgrade. Overall, the quality is good. I like the many mayonnaise and mustard options. Veggies tasted fresh. It's just a let down to pay so much for so little. For the same price I could sit down and have entire meal at The Winn that would be much larger (granted, I didn't get half the sub I paid for). The potato soup was okay. Not as good as Red Lobster's potato bacon. Just kinda a one note salty flavor. I probably wouldn't get that again. If I do decide to return, I might just get a huge sub for $15-16 and split it amongst my family. That was the highlight of the meal. Good meats, fresh veggies, inventive presentation with the rogue option and I enjoyed the mayonnaise Provence for some extra herbs. Next time, I'll inquire when I feel the price is too much. Oh well.

The portion sizes were big and all the food tasted amazing. I personally got the Denver/western omelet that had the perfect balance of eggs and ingredients on the inside. The menu has a wide variety of options with many different dishes to choose from. The cafe has both breakfast and lunch which is always a plus.

Huge portions, lots of flavor, and they were super accommodating of my food allergies. Big plus: they offer a wide selection of breads, including gluten-free options, and hella hot sauce options. Breakfast and lunch are served all day, which is a win, and even when it's busy, they move quickly and efficiently to get you seated.
