We met up with a few friends for breakfast on a Saturday morning and I was surprised it wasn't too busy yet. If you have a group of more than four people, you'll probably need to split up into two booths, as there is only one large booth that seats six people. Our server was so awesome and on top of refills, taking our orders, and keeping everyone's checks straight. I got the Super Plus Breakfast, with three eggs, ham, bacon, and sausage, potatoes, and toast. It was a lot of food but I was really hungry! Nate got the breakfast burrito. I loved my big breakfast plate. The eggs were perfectly cooked over medium, and the sausage links were really tasty. The ham and bacon were okay and the potatoes needed a bit of hot sauce and ketchup, but it was a classic diner breakfast done pretty well. And the prices are great! I'll be back.

I had breakfast eggs, hashbrowns, and toast, and it was absolutely fantastic. The eggs were fluffy and plenty. The hashbrowns were fresh crispy, and vibrant, and the toast which was the sourdough was the heaviest sourdough. I think I've ever had with so much flavor!!! So to be that simple and to be that delicious is what we want. The pricing is outstanding and when I say outstanding absolutely fantastic. Every restaurant should take notice and you'll be having lines out the door like this place does!! I ordered my breakfast at 1 o'clock in the afternoon and it was spot on !! ...if you're looking for the great American breakfast/burger joint you need to check this place out Grand Rapids !!! if you don't know about this place ....wake up !!!! this is not a 4.5 star.

Hole in the wall diner right down the road from my house. It's an incredibly quaint and cozy place…read morethat feels like a true neighborhood diner. The staff and atmosphere are very homey and the food is always well priced and great portions. I tend to overorder whenever I come here but the leftovers still reheat nicely. I'm a big fan of getting the sweet pancakes or sweet griddle options with potatoes or breakfast meat. Everything comes out hot, fresh, and in good time. I think you can order pickup which is actually really cool and I may have to start doing before super long days at work.They have a parking lot right near the restaurant which is very convenient. Overall, I really love Shelley's and think it's a quintessential american diner experience.

I haven't been to Matchbox in a long time and have honestly only thought about it as a brunch spot…read more My partner and I decided that we wanted to check it out and were pleasantly surprised at their menu and options! We decided to share the fish and chips and meatloaf. I was pleasantly surprised at how good both were! The fish and chips were very light, didn't feel too heavy for the fried food and the amount was perfect. This is a nitpicky thing, but I would have rather had it on a plate than a bowl so the fish isn't sitting directly on the fries - even though I know that's the vibe. The meatloaf was also really good - I loved the crisp edges on the meatloaf as it gave it a lovely texture and the gravy flavor was amazing. We were both pleasantly surprised at how good the food was and will definitely be back! We did not have a reservation, and it does look like you can get one online, but we were seated promptly. The servers did look a little overwhelmed though, it seemed as though they were only 2 people covering the whole restaurant, including making the drinks! So patience is your friend - but honestly, they did a great job of keeping up and we weren't in much of a rush. They just looked a little frantic, which caused the vibe to be a little weird. However, for our date night, we weren't bothered and still enjoyed our meal! Parking around is street and metered, but hopefully you can find something as there are a few other restaurants and bars nearby. We didn't have any issues though, so I think it's just being patient and possibly walking a little bit. I will definitely be back, especially for dinner!

Reduced by a star because their take out containers really weren't ideal/good. We kept things upright but one of the items spilled out and onto another container and some of the sauces didn't have lids put on them (but some did), so they were dumped out on the bottom of the container. Regardless though, everything was very delicious. We really enjoyed everything and felt like there was a good variety of items. Despite having a bit of an initial mess to deal with, we still would order out again!

Our server was very friendly and took great care of us. The menu is perfect for a large group that includes kids because there is literally something for everyone.

The food all came out correctly and in a timely manner. They are constantly clearing dirty dishes and cleaning dirty tables. We will definitely come back.

I adore crab so ordering that was a no brainer. Their coffee is strong. It took a ton of cream to change the color... though it was delicious with free refills for $5. The omelette was heaven. All the flavors melded well and I appreciated the crisp acidic salad to cut the richness of the omelette. My only critique is wishing the crab salad topping was a bit more decadent. For $21 I was hoping for big lumps of crab rather than cool shredded mayo based salad. All in all, I love this place, I love the concept. It was quite busy and was thankful to snag a seat at the bar. The service was friendly and quick. Best hipster establishment I've patronized in a long time. Make a reservation if you have a group or pray there is a seat at the bar. Keep doing your thang Littlebird!!

It's probably one of the…read morebest burgers (if not the best) dine-in burger in GR and I will constantly come back for this over and over. My boyfriend and I stumbled in during happy hour and were happy to grab some cheap drinks, but the main event was the burger! We typically like sitting at the bar as well and chat with the bartender who was absolutely lovely! The dirty martini was okay but I will definitely order something else next time as the olives just didn't hit for me. It's a quaint and quiet spot - you can read that as intimate - since it's not loud or rowdy, so if you want a really sweet date spot, feel free to check this one out! Otherwise, you can just go and have a casual, delicious dinner. Parking is limited with the street parking and it being so close to Monroe Center but you shouldn't have a terrible time finding something, even if requires a parking ramp vs street parking. I'd just recommend a reservation if you are going on a weekend or don't want to wait/sit at the bar!

This ended up being a very enjoyable part of my visit to Grand Rapids…read more I had an early start for my day, which meant I was able to get in and be seated immediately when I arrived. As I was leaving you could tell that they were getting busier. Service was very friendly throughout my visit, and I was pleased with the bright welcoming nature of the room itself. I wanted something a little lighter for breakfast and went with a yogurt parfait. It was absolutely terrific. Wonderful granola prepared with freshly sliced berries and a delicious honey glaze. I would 100% get this again if I were able to come back. Pricing was completely fair for the quality of food that I got. Hope to return someday!

I appreciate that their waiting area had some chairs. Their dining space has plenty of seating as well including booths, tables and bar seating. The food took 20 minutes but they were getting pretty busy when we were sat down. They have a rotating limited time menu so I had to get something off of there. I got the strawberry shortcake stuffed French toast and strawberry lovers, this one is for you! The French toast had the same topping as the classic strawberry shortcake ice cream that I love and it came with fresh strawberries and strawberry glaze on the side. It was delicious! My bf got the bacon skillet and it came with 2 fried eggs and a side of pancakes or toast. My bf is a picky eater and he enjoyed it! Located in the Forest Hills Center strip, there's plenty of parking and totally worth the drive!

We jad a cheesecake with us, the staff offered to take it in the back and store it in the fridge for us. They brought it out for with the candles lit to sing happy birthday and then they took it back to cut it up for us. I am so glad to experience such an amazing staff! Some things to note: you can order a cake from their bakery hut they need 72 hour notice. Cakes from outside bakery are allowed, there is a charge of 1.50 per person. It has to be from a bakery, it cant be homemade. Reservations on weekends is for 12+ party. Besides the amazing service. The food is amazing! The cinnamon rolls are the best cinnamon rolls I have ever had. We got it without the bacon. It was flaky and warm and just so delicious. For my entree I got the breakfast sandwich with vegan sausage and no egg and side of potatoes. It was also very good. The biscuit is very soft and buttery. All the entrees were huge portions and enough for some leftovers. I will definitely go back even just for the cinnamon roll and the service! We had a small group and had no issue getting a table on a Saturday.
