I had the awesome crack wings and fries combo. It took the owner about 20 minutes to prepare but…read morewell worth it. The guy is friendly and knows his stuff. The restaurant is small in an industrial part of town with customers picking up to go orders from time to time. I ate at a table.

The owner is a great and friendly person!!!! This place is right next door to my house and I never…read moreknew it existed, this is the BEST chicken in Grand Rapids, yes it may have its bad days, just like any other chicken spots with some of the pieces being dry but most of the chicken here is crispy, juicy and most importantly budget friendly! Not much ambiance inside but it's a take out spot with quick service. Definitely recommend

When I think of New Orleans chicken- I think of creole seasonings, full of peppers and spice…read more This chicken was fresh, mostly moist,and very crispy, but just tastes of frying oil, no seasoning, no love. I could see how people that like bland chicken would like this, seemed like a quality product. If it was named Dutch fried chicken, or Minnesota fried chicken, I would not have been disappointed. Kick up the flavor and I'll try it again.

Excellent chicken. Great service always smiling workers. In a gas station so any drink you want…read moreHave to get the seasoning on top of the chicken

Interesting I must say right inside a gas station. A most beloved long ago 4**** Star Gas Station!…read moreThis chicken, potato wedges, onion rings, and sauces were quite good! Service service service was excellent! The chicken restaurant was VERY busy! Ambience... well it's a gas station so nuff said there on that. My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed this take out! Especially the Onion Rings

This is my go-to ice cream spot in Grand Rapids. I've heard good things about the food, but have…read morenever tried anything other than the ice cream. I am a simple lady and love a good twist cone with sprinkles and their soft serve is just superb. I have been to most of the ice cream joints in/around town and I have often run into the issue of the soft serve being TOO soft and melting quickly. I don't know what they are doing, but their soft serve is always so creamy and firm. It's a hit every time and we will literally drive past other spots to go here when we want ice cream. There is quite a bit of seating if you choose to stay there, way more than others in the area. The staff are always polite and helpful. I've never had a miss here!

When traversing down Cascade Avenue south of 28th Street, be sure to turn right onto Thornapple…read moreRiver Drive to access the parking lot for the place that has the best chicken in town! If you are not already familiar with Broaster chicken (a proprietary cooking technique using a specific machine that gets consistently amazing results), then it is high time you learn! Let the super friendly staff come assist you! While only open seasonally starting in the spring and ending in the late fall, this little building serves up a variety of delicious and affordable ice cream options in addition to their amazing chicken and potato wedges. See the menu I snapped a photo of for more details on pricing. I've tried a lot of chicken in town and love almost all of it - but the place that I keep coming back to year after year is Frosty Boy of Cascade. Come give it a try and see if it also becomes a regular tradition for you and your family.

Went to the Black Napkin yesterday for lunch and it was pretty darn great…read more Best burger and fries I've had in forever. The young lady taking the orders was so friendly and caring. Highly recommend

Delicious all around- the Black Napkin is a frequent craving in my household…read more The Big Malcolm is our go to burger (I get the vegetarian version and my partner gets a regular one). Highly recommend the salt n red wine vinegar fries and trying out their various dipping sauce. We have tested all of their house made sodas and the golden cola is our favorite. The line can get long so if you have flexibility I would recommend trying to go at a less popular time if the wait is important to you. Friendly, down to earth service. Cute spot in a smaller space so you will likely end up eating to go.

We made our first visit to Cousins on Christmas Eve. It was recommended to us by a friend…read more The food was delicious with generous portions. I had the three piece tenders combo with french fries and a beverage. The tenders were huge and so many fries I had leftovers. I could only eat one tender. I ordered a side of coleslaw which was tasty. My husband ordered a two piece dark fried chicken meal and chicken livers. He loved it all!! They have fish also and several other sides. Less than $25 and it made two meals. The woman who took our orders was very nice. We will return!

Upon a second visit to Cousin's, I was delightfully surprised at the quality, taste and value that…read morethis chicken joint has to offer. The fishy aroma of the chicken tenders that initially turned me off was pretty much nonexistent. The boneless wings were juicy and tender, the selection of fried sides (I got the okra, fries and mozzarella sticks) was really great too! Amazing seasoning and sauces elevated the whole meal with powerful flavor. Good sh*t, cuz.

I've had Raising Cane's before in East Lansing and it was okay. I don't really get the hype around…read morethis place, but of course I had to try it for myself as it's the first in the area. The lines have been super long but Nate stopped by one evening to grab us a three tender meal. I can't speak to the drive through experience as I wasn't there, but it seems pretty efficient and they have a couple lanes. The three tender combo is about $10 and the tenders were quite small. They were pretty crispy, especially for coming from a drive through 20 minutes away, so I was happy about that (previous tenders I've had from Raising Cane's were soggy). The fries were still warm and seasoned well, and I personally enjoy crinkle fries. The Sprite was crisp and they use that good pebble ice. I personally don't care for Texas toast, so I wish they had an option for more fries instead of toast. Overall it's a decent chain but not something I really need to go out of my way for.

speedy two-lane drive thru service, there's attendant standing next to menu sign to assist. since…read moreit mainly chicken fingers only, can prepare quickly and get you on your way. there's tons of parking nearby, so you can dine in and eat as well. chicken is prepared hot, bit flaky and moist. you could skip the cane sauce, taste a bit salty with hint of thousand island salad dressing. i would say coleslaw is as expected. fries crispy on the outside, not oily or soggy. complete with your choice of drinks, what else you could ask for. another satisfying meal

I had high hopes for this place reading all of the things about me to order chicken and it be…read morenatural. It seemed pretty popular as a couple of people had placed orders before me and were waiting for their food and then they were a few people after me as well. It does take a while for you to get your food, though. I was willing to wait. They did mess up my order and gave me a barbecue chicken wrap instead of a buffalo chicken wrap that I ordered. I feel like this may have thrown them off maybe not but my chicken was way over sauced it really took away from the flavor of the chicken itself and I'm pretty sure I don't even know if there was any blue cheese because all I could taste with sauce. The jalapeño poppers were meh and they didn't really have a special sauce that comes with them. I am surprised they didn't do anything to make up for messing my order and making me wait longer. I may give them another shot but will have to request that they only put a little sauce or on the side.

Stopped by during my break today…read more Lots of options for chicken lovers! I chose traditional wings with the sweet chili sauce. Got fries and a drink for 19.00. Flavor was great! Wings were kind of small. Waffle fries were fresh and crispy. Clean restaurant! 2 small issues. They don't have wet wipes to clean your hands. Not a big deal They also only have packets of ketchup and I love ketchup so I was hopping for a bottle. I will return and try again.
