    Poutine Week 2025 sign
    Rayce P.

    We tried Grand Coney during Poutine Week 2025, and we definitely want to come back and try them again! The interior has that classic diner vibe, with booths and stools around a large center area. The poutine they prepared was very close to a traditional Canadian poutine, and it was definitely one of the best ones we tried during the event. After walking around a bit, we came back for a slice of a very tasty chocolate cake!

    Been here 3x over the past several weeks. Started out around 3.5 to a 4-star experience. The food was pretty solid all around, quality was good, prices a bit high but still was solid. Chicago Dog was authentic, fries were in abundance and fresh and hot. Detroit and Flint Coneys were pretty good. We were pretty pleased. Service was good too. So we decided to come back, and it was a repeat of the first visit. Everything pretty much solid . So then we decided to come back again - and on this latest visit there were some notable changes in the quality and the portions, and prices were slightly higher too. That basically bumped this down to a 2-star rating (Could've Been Better) - essentially because it could have been better. The service was still solid, our server was very helpful and walked us through recommendations, she was very friendly. But this time we ordered a hotdog basket (same as last 2 visits) and it was more expensive plus we got 30-40% less fries, and the hotdog condiments were noticeably being penny-pinched as well. The Chicago Dog did not have a poppy seed bun (they may have ran out), and we got limited relish, and you're supposed to get 2 half-tomatoes and we got 1 - - lol - - never seen that before. Onions and relish and cheese were scarce and being skimped. The quality / taste was not as good as it was only a few weeks prior, and at both of those visits. This place is obviously taking strides to reduce portions and cut corners on the quality. The fries were still hot and fresh as usual - but a lot less. You can see the other pictures and judge for yourself. So basically it was such a letdown, we do not plan on a repeat visit. There are a few other Coney places and several diners in GR that do a great job and have been consistently good. We plan to stick to those going forward. It's unfortunate, but it is what it is because the reduction in portions and lower quality was so noticeable, it doesn't make us want to come back. Alas - it was good while it lasted.

    Food was fresh and cooked to order, the customer service was great and the ambiance was friendly. The place was packed at 1am with elderly and young folks alike. If in the area, stop in and give them a try. Let me know your thoughts.

    Good prices for all the food

    Went here for the first time today 5-6-25.nice clean dining area.got seated in about 1 minute.nice waitress.good vibes! I ordered the hippy hash breakfast meal and it was delicious. The broccoli and mushrooms and tomatoes gave it a good taste that i never had with corned beef.i loved it! The chili cheese fries was the bomb too! I came from Las Vegas so trying this place was a must visiting Grand Rapids Michigan! I will be back whenever i come to visit for sure!

    I've been to Grand Coney over 100 times since 2010. It's one of my go-to spots, mostly for breakfast, but I've also enjoyed their coney dogs, wraps, and sandwiches. I sometimes joke that Grand Coney is my favorite restaurant in Grand Rapids, simply because I've been there so many times. It's a classic, no-frills diner with consistently good food and friendly service. It's also walking distance from my house, so it's an easy stop. They have plenty of parking if you're driving - if the lot in front is full, there's more parking available around back. The menu includes all your diner classics - burgers, coney dogs, dinner options, breakfast plates served all day, skillets, etc. My go-to order is the classic breakfast with bacon, hash browns, English muffin toast, and over medium eggs. I also love the meaty hippie hash and the farmer's skillet. I've never had anything bad at Grand Coney and usually food comes out super quickly. They have plenty of room for groups to dine in, and it used to be a favorite spot for late night, post-bar eats. If you appreciate a good diner, definitely check out Grand Coney.

    Food was just okay. Maybe I'm a Chicago hot dog snob. The hot dogs had a strange flavor. I had 1. I shared some fries and those were pretty tasty. The venue reminded me of a Waffle House only cleaner. The service was really good though. We got checked on about every 5 minutes, started to get annoying actually.

    I didn't even finish it...

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.
