Bud and Stanley's on 4 mile near Plainfield has an amazing lunch menu for $9.50 with many selections: meatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy, wet burrito, salads, goulash, BLT platter etc. The plates are slightly smaller which I think is a good idea to avoid waste. Our server Michelle was terrific! She took our orders right away and food came out in 10 minutes piping hot. She checked on us several times despite being really busy. They have an extensive regular menu all appearing to be yummy and hearty! It's a cozy bar atmosphere with lots of TVs for sports etc. handicap entrance is easily accessible with no steps. They have it all figured out!! read more

Bud & Stanley's Restaurant - Fried shrimp platter - American Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

OMG! One of the best Reubens ever! I'm giving it a 10, if it had true rye I'd be giving it a 20!!! Moist, juicy, & delicious. Comes with fries but I opted for cottage cheese. And ya gotta love a fabulous bartender to brighten the experience. Monday night football on 7 TVs made it entertaining as well. Friendly hostess, and engaging sever, which made up for the rude, and short personality of the waitress. Small, yet cozy atmosphere was pleasant. Outside dining, also with televised sports. Couldn't get an answer as to if they close of the patio or close it in for the winter mo. Waitress just looked at me like I'd grown a 3rd arm when I asked x read more

Took a large group there awhile back which i made a reservation for ahead of time. The table was ready. But we were right in the sun and requested the shades to be pulled which too asking 2 different people before we almost melted. Our server took way too long to start with us and she played the cutesy role way too much. The bills were mixed up. Need I say more!! read more

Almost afraid to post this as I don't want to have to wait to get in but this place is currently the best restaurant on the north end. Service is not quite 5 star but food portions, quality and price can't be beat. read more

I liked the ambience I felt like I was on vacation with my grandma as a kid. I can't explain that feeling but it was a good feeling. The food was good however I got pretty sick later on in the day. Service was pleasant. No complaints really except the sickness that could have been from anything. read more

Bud & Stanley's Restaurant - Mushroom burger. - American Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

The food was great! Southwest Egg Rolls, Lobster Bisque, Brisket Reuben and The Becker - could not recommend them higher. However, our server, Avery, was worth the trip from Holland! Her everything! Personality, suggestions, promptness, and all around delightful nature will bring us back! read more

Went here for a great BLT and a cold Perrin black on a Saturday afternoon with my wife and little guy and this place more than footed the bill. Showing up right at open gave us excellent and personal service and they were even kind in allowing us a booth for our little one. I love this little Plainfield secret read more

This place was awesome! It has such a nice small town vibe inside. When we went, it was all decorated for Christmas, including the giant mounted Moose that was dressed as Santa There's a bar as well as plenty of tables and booths. The booths are smaller which is actually quite nice for only two people. There are several tv's that had sports playing, and the bathrooms are right by the entrance. We got to seat ourselves, were helped and served promptly. The parking was kind of funky in the front, as there is a big hill when you enter the parking lot, but there is plenty of parking behind the building, and it is even terrain for walking in. For our two meals and two drinks, our total was $35 ish. We didn't go during any specials, but they do have good Happy Hour and weekly specials! read more

Boyfriend had dental implants and can't eat hard foods. Ordered spaghetti with marinara sauce. He was informed you can't have that because it's a kids dinner. We asked for the manager and eas also told the same. A party of 5 eating and he had to sit there with no food to eat!! And then the manager Lori told him to take his ass over to Fred's pizza! I love Fred's by the way. Then a glass of water was spilled on the floor and I told her it was an accident. She loudly said, was it really? Great manager! And she was drunk! read more

I was looking for a quiet dinner at a not so crowded place and this was perfect for me. The service was fast and efficient.. the mule was cold and no complaints on the meat loaf. Would have been a five star review if not for the raw piece of potato in the mash. read more

Service was absolutely excellent! Tastes were good, the fries were spot on! But a couple of things needed improvements for me. Such as the tiny portion of deep fried pickles served for a whole $9- maybe other restaurants have given me high expectations. Second area of improvement would come from the grilled chicken, it was just SO DRY. Thank goodness the mac and cheese was super ooey and gooey to help somewhat moisten the chicken breast. read more

First Time here.. Had great reviews and said I'd give it a try. Asked about the menu and what the favorite was and what the bartenders top pic was.

Every now and then you think, "I've haven't been there in ages". That is what we were thinking when we pulled into the parking lot at Bud & Stanley's. Out of sight-out of mind best explains our absence as we are not usually in this part of Grand Rapids. We arrived for an early lunch and spent some time looking at the extensive menu. So many choices-so little room to put it all. The menu said the goulash was one of their best sellers-our server agreed so that is what my wife ordered. I'm still looking for the perfect, tasty rare-medium rare burger so I had to order a burger. My wife's totally enjoyed her goulash-her trademark response, "I'd order that again" was testimony that she really like her lunch. You don't see dishes like that on very many menus so that was a bonus in her mind. My burger was perfect. All It takes is a little bit of attention to detail to make a medium rare burger. This attention to detail is ignored by more restaurants than not. I harp on this often and when it comes out perfect, I'm happy! Bonus-meat wasn't just cooked properly-it was seasoned to a very nice flavor. Service was great. Our server was taking an order at a table next to ours and another server saw me finish my drink. She rushed over and asked me what she could bring me. You see that at upscale places, not a neighborhood pub. After a totally enjoyable lunch, we agreed Bud & Stanley's needs to go on our regular rotation.We'll be back! read more

If you're looking for quick, cheap, and decent take-out - Bud & Stanley's is it. My partner and I both got burgers and fries. Taste was good, service was good, and orders were correct. Only issue was the food was a bit soggy, but that's expected when getting take-out. A few minutes in the air fryer and the fries were perfect! The person that took my order was courteous and straight to the point. I arrived at the bar to grab my order and was immediately greeted. Will absolutely be revisiting!! read more

This used to be our "go to" restaurant for good food at reasonable prices! Now, we're going to reset and regroup! I realize you don't get a hit every time at bat, but earlier today Bud and Stanley's struck out big time! The Wednesday fish special drew us in along with the "happy hour" menu. Both failed to deliver! The whitefish was served just above room temperature! We asked for a small tonic water that we could share with our "on the rocks" drinks! We were charged $3.00 for the tonic which came in a large glass! That, in addition to an added charge for "on the rocks, makes Happy Hour a misnomer! This is how restaurants lose loyal customers! read more

Just went here a bit ago while waiting for my car to finish in the shop. Extremely extensive choice of foods but sadly limited fish options. When I go out to eat I want some fish, but that's just a recommendation. I tried this tropical Caribbean chicken sandwich and added bacon, it was good but seemed like it needed something spicy there too. Our server was nice and attentive, but could've contoured our table a bit more. (Taking cups plates and trash when needed.) As for ambience, I got to sit under the moose so it can't get much better than that. Real old style hunters pub feel to it and an enjoyable lively atmosphere even late. read more

This place feels like a place you've been going to your whole life. They've got tons of great meal options and many choices like you are getting a home cooked meal. Service was great and attentive. We brought our family from out of town and they loved it and request to go back whenever they visit. read more

We have been here now twice! Super cool spot on the NE side of town, awesome people, and has pub/grub mixed with a Wisconsin Supper Club vibe. 10/10 would recommend, our kids loved it, and the food came out relatively quick. Go check it out! read more

We love going here with our fun group of friends. Always good food, service and fun. We will be going with our next outing also.

My husband and I love coming here but will probably only be getting take out from now on. If I have to scream and yell at so a hostess to notice us after everyone else has been seated I will pass. And then basically be treated like crap and have the menu slapped down on the table and not one word, I will stay home. The rest of your staff treated me with kid gloves after that because they knew I was upset because we were treated like garbage. Otherwise I will be going elsewhere read more

This place has become a staple for my husband and I since stumbling upon it a few months ago. The food is great, the atmosphere is perfect, and the service has always been top notch!

I've always enjoyed coming here. Good food and great service. If I had to say anything negative it would be that I have gone there several times only to find no handicap parking which I need. So I was forced to leave due to being no parking. I do continue to try and sometimes I get lucky with parking. read more

We were in town from chicago to visit family. The best burger I ever had. Done to perfection. My husband had prime rib sandwich which was thinly sliced and not dried out. The bourbon sauce made the sandwich and the au ju on the side was a great touch. Perfect Sunday after church meal. Sonya was our waitress great at her job and funny. Great atmosphere to share a meal. read more

Celebrating our 46th Anniversary. Got there at 6:44. Waited a few minutes for a table. When the waitress came to get drinks we asked if they still had Prime Rib available. "No, and we're also out of baked potatoes." she replied. WHAT at 6:50pm on a Saturday. How can a restaurant run out of these menu items at the start of the night? Totally disappointed in this establishment. Got up and left. read more

Me and my parents went their yesterday and the sign said seat yourself, so we did and waited at the table about 15mins and no one came to serve us, so we thought about leaving and going somewhere else then they changed the sign to wait to be seated, we got up and stood there, then a girl came up to us and we told her that we were waiting at the table, then she told us we can sit back at the table and finally grabs menu for us and went to get a waitress to take our order. There's no reason we had to wait that long to be served, was very disappointed in that...the waitress was great and food was good.....I ordered the chicken wet burrito, it was good was just disappointed how small it was for the $14 or $15 price, if all the burritos are that small for that price I won't order it again, definitely not worth the money. read more

Food was pretty good!! , they do not skimp on the portions!! Server was friendly and attentive. Atmosphere is nice! Tv screen are the right positions where you don't have to stretch to watch while eating. read more

I am pretty sure Bud & Stanley's is a NE Grand Rapids institution. My aunt and uncle are regulars there so we met them for dinner one evening. Located off Plainfield and 4 Mile, it has a super cozy, neighborhood bar feel. Think Cheers the show (or even Cheers the bar up the road). Their menu is pretty basic bar food with burgers, sandwiches, wraps, baskets, salads, and burritos. I had heard good things about the wet burrito, so my boyfriend and I decided to split it. We also got an order of potato skins to start. The potato skins were very good and really loaded with toppings! Our server also brought out ranch and sour cream, which made them even more delicious. Our entrees came out shortly after we finished the potato skins, so the timing was great. I find it annoying when the starters come out and then your dinner arrives immediately afterwards! The burrito was very large and smothered in tons of sauce and cheese--exactly what I want in a wet burrito! This burrito comes with ground beef, refried beans, lettuce, and tomatoes inside. You can also get an all meat version for .99 more, or a half for $2 less. We went with the large size since we were splitting it. I loved this burrito. It was really flavorful and had a good ratio of meat to beans inside--I don't love a ton of refried beans in a wet burrito. The lettuce and tomatoes were a nice addition and weren't overly soggy. My only complaint about the burrito would be the salt level in the sauce. It was pretty dang salty! But I still ate my whole portion and I would get it again. Blood pressure who? Seriously though, if you have issues with sodium I would maybe ask for the sauce on the side or without it. I had a really nice time at this fun neighborhood joint and would definitely return in the future. They have daily food specials which are really awesome, including a burger and a beer for only $5.95 on Mondays! read more
