Went for brunch and it was good. I recommend the truffle fries!!! Everyone enjoyed their food, service was great and place has English pub vibes inside, little small but they have an upstairs. read more

Tied for the best bar food in town with Blue Dog Tavern (although this place is a tad more upscale). The onion rings are as big as your fist. The menu is diverse and offers a wide array of delicious vetegarian/vegan and meat options alike. I really have never been disappointed with anything I've ordered here in terms of flavor and portions. The drinks/cocktails are also great. Don't let the "midwestern burger bar" vibe mislead you - whoever's behind the bar can crank a cocktail shaker. Speaking of, the staff are also super chill and friendly and can always help out with a cocktail recommendation. The one thing that I will knock Graydon's for, however, is their prices. Dude. How do you look people in the eye and tell them that a burger with chips is $17 dollars. WITH CHIPS. I guess it's the state of the restaurant industry nowadays, but I will fight this heresy with every bone in my body. Overall, it's a great spot worth visiting, but if you're looking to spend less $30 on a burger, fries and a beer, this might not be your spot. read more

Came here with my friend. Both pescatarian. Had a little collection of appetizers for lunch. Lots of great options for vegetarians. The real winners were the shrimp and the asparagus dishes. Cool chill vibes to come watch a soccer game and relax. Their brunch options also sounded interesting. read more

Stumbled upon this great pub when driving through the area. The brunch menu was unique, we tried the breakfast burrito which was amazing. Loved the spicy gardenia and chorizo gravy. The pretzel nuggies were also delicious with good dipping sauces. Our server was super laid back but attentive. Definitely feels like a European pub which is right up our alley. Only downfall is it was a bit pricey...60 bucks for lunch and a couple drinks (the burrito was 18 alone). We'd go back though! read more

I've been going to Graydons Crossing for more than 10 years. Unfortunately, this is the worst I've seen it. I visited tonight to find they got rid of the entire wine list, except a few domestic wines. There were no international wines available. I ordered a Rosé, which they were out of, the Riesling, which they were out of, and finally the Pinto Grigio, but was brought the wrong wine. So I resorted to a seltzer, but they were also out of that. Eventually we left. The food looks fine. We saw a large table of tourists enjoying their food. We were hoping new ownership would add some life to the place but everything seemed more worn down. Obviously we have some great dive bars in Grand Rapids, no hate on dingy places. But the floor and our table was sticky. My attraction to Graydons was always the massive wine and drink list. I am sure it was tariffs and the country's own poor leadership, but it's sad to see so few options at an old neighborhood favorite. read more

I had fond memories of coming here from years ago. The food was always good as was the service and the ambiance. Tonight, the onion rings were the only thing that held up. Service was slow, and only a handful of people there (which by judging by the food and service, I can understand why.) Servers talking loudly in the station was more than a distraction, and the food was mediocre at best. I don't get out often these days, so when I do, I hope to make it a nice evening out and a memorable one. This failed on all circuits. Won't be back anytime soon. read more

So we went in to Graydon's last night for a cocktail, and it was completely empty. We were the only 2 people in there. A man walked in and we ended up talking, he revealed he was the chef. Chef CAPRICE. told me he was making a summer menu, asked what would be a good item on it so I told him and he told me to come back the next morning (today) at 10:30 and he would prepare us breakfast. So we cancelled our dinner plans last night....and he NEVER SHOWED UP!!!! Service was TERRIBLE today too. Soooo disappointing. I would like to mention again his name. Chef caprice. He sat there and bragged about his accomplishments but can't even commit to a promise. Terrible. Terrible. Terrible. read more

There was a mouse that fell from the ceiling and when we brought it up to the staff they said yeah that's normal... then proceeded to complain about us to another table an hour later. read more

Presentation and flavor! We used to come in just for the Shepherds Pie but it isn't as good as it used to be prior to the fire that happened there years ago. I imagine those chefs moved on during the renovation. Kind of sad since there are only a couple of places in town that have it on the menu and Graydon's is the only one I know of that uses lamb. read more

It's been several months since our last visit. Overall, the quality of service and food wasn't as good as previous visits. Disappointed with the grilled bruschetta appetizer, served on one huge piece of bread cut in half, impossible to cut into serving sizes with a butter knife and bread soggy. Impressed with the flavorful naanwhich Overall all of our entrees were just ok. My short ribs were good, but the potatoes were overwhelming in portion, and the brocollini cold and overcooked. The cheesecake was good. As was the chef's choice skillet brownie with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. Their new order system should have resulted in quicker service, but it didn't. Also, thru don't present ypu with a printed bill, but handed over the device to swipe credit card and tip. It was only because that I asked for a printed receipt did I realize I was doubled charged gor some items. Too many other restaurants in Grand Rapids, that we will probably go to in the future...very sad, this place used to be a favorite place to go to. read more

Not sure what happened to Graydon's? I had been here in a couple of years and was looking forward to the same quality of food from before. Was unpleasantly surprised to see the much smaller menu. Then found out they were out of many menu items. Speaking of menus, the cocktail menu looked like a dog or toddler had gotten a hold of it. Throw it out. Food was mediocre at best. My friend was looking forward to the fish and chips she had there a couple years ago. What she was served was a bummer. Three small pieces of fish with breading that was falling off. I had the chicken pesto wrap. The wrap was burnt. There was maybe 3 pieces of chicken. Never tasted pesto. Just a sad experience from what Graydons used to be. read more

We did a last minute reservation for 8, and we are so glad we did. Everyone had something different, and everything was over the top. Madi was our waitress and took amazing care of us, and was always attentive, which is hard to find. It really gives you the feeling of a British Pub, and will definitely throw this in the Grand Rapids rotation. read more

Went in for an early dinner and had the Shepherds pie which was very good. A little too much peppercorn in the potato but that is my personal opinion. read more

Went to Graydon's for a quick dinner last night and we are wondering if they're preparing to close. The bar was minimally stocked with liquors, they were out of some draft beers, and fish. The servers were very friendly but kept discussing items out of stock. Lastly, our sandwiches had barely any meat on them and a very small portion of fries. Very disappointing for the price. Lastly, the bathrooms need work. The toilet paper dispenser was missing and just run down. Feels like no one is taking care of this place read more

A mouse fell from the ceiling onto my head while I was eating. No joke. A full rodent dive-bombed me mid-meal. Their response? "We'll comp your food." As if that erases the memory of becoming a landing pad for Mickey's grimy cousin. Even worse, my old friend was once served a dish with mouse poop in it. This place isn't a restaurant -- it's a health code horror story with a menu. I originally posted this on Google Reviews, but they deleted it. So here I am on Yelp, making sure the truth doesn't get scrubbed like their floors should be. Avoid this place unless you're collecting mouse-based trauma. read more

This being my fourth or fifth time to Graydon's Crossing, I was so disappointed. Their menu had changed, scale down to only one choice for me, being a meat and dairy free person. We noticed that the table was sticky in the waitress casually mentioned that that's just how it is. The tables are all sticky. The menus were beaten up in not appealing to touch. We ordered cheese, curds, and fried pickles for appetizers. Saturday night at 6 o'clock, no cheese curds. Really? The fried pickles were fine, but the onion rings that came in place of the cheese curds were greasy, literally leaving piles of grease. One of our group ordered fish and chips, which was not edible. The fish was like a heavy heavy grease ball. We've always like the atmosphere in the food there, but we will never return. Unless there's new management and a total facelift. read more

Came to down for a wedding and the rehearsal dinner was held here outside on the patio. I was so happy with my fish sandwich. It had a great ginger sauce and the fish was very crispy. Our server was personable and nice. We had a table of about 15-20 and he was super attentive and kept our drinks coming :) The chicken sandwich on the bagel was interesting.... I think our table agreed that we would order it in a bun if we got it again. read more

One disappointment after another. For a Friday evening, we were surprised with how much they were out of. They didn't have the beer I ordered, or what my wife ordered. They didn't have the pop my kids ordered. We ordered a sampler platter and they were out of pretzel bites, so they gave us a few more cheese curds. We were banking on their gluten free bread substitute - nope, that was out too. Sticky table, skunky beer smell, poor quality of the fish and chips. The fries were great, but not redeeming. We loved this place 10 years ago, but it is an empty shell of its former self. read more

Came in here twice now and wanted to give them a review. Between the murals outside and the decorations inside I'd say this place is very easy on the eyes! Ordered food and it came out quick and was very tasty. The beer selection is great and the mimosas were the same way. Service was polite, friendly, and fast. We really enjoyed ourselves. Thanks again! read more

Great weekend brunch spot just north of downtown. Traditional and creative pub menu, plenty of drafts, brunch drink specials and more; the casual ambience, friendly service, tasty comfort fare, filling portions makes this a fun eatery place! Overall, solid 4.0 rating with cost range $12-18pp. Today I tried their hearty Breakfast Burrito, filled with fresh scrambled eggs, Applewood bacon, fried potatoes, cheddar, giardinieras, and topped with Chorizo gravy - yum! Definitely gotta be hungry to finish this one! Friends tried the Shepards Pie, house-made, cooked perfectly with plenty of potatoes, tender meat and veggies. Served piping hot and plenty to share if you have a lighter appetite. The Asparagus and Mushroom Diane and Bang Bang Shrimp were excellent starters to share as well. Graydon's may be off the beaten path, but it's an eatery or watering hole worth visiting. Enjoy!! read more

The restaurant is very eclectic. Lots of seating upstairs and also they have patio for outside seating. The serve spot on very attentive. The vibe is great the servers give you breathing space between follow-ups so you can enjoy your meal or your drink. Highly recommended the Sunday brunch with mimosa flight. We also stoped happy hour what a great deal. Must try the Graydon's signature cocktails. What a quality drink read more

Sat at the bar while waiting for our table. The bartendar was unfriendly and frankly rude to us. She should not be in the service industry at all! Once we were seated we had to ask for a waitress after 15 min of waiting. Once we got the waitress she was a great server and the food was decent. read more

Stopped in for brunch with my cousin on a Sunday. It was just the two of us so we sat up at the bar. I hadn't been here in awhile, but it was nice to try it again! They have a great selection of beers on tap; some Michigan, and some not. The brunch menu has some great offerings. My cousin had the "Proper Brekkie" and I had the "Copyright Sandwich." We were both really happy with our food! I also love that they are a soccer bar! They play the Premier League games on the weekends and have lots of Premier League team scarves around the bar area. I appreciate the English pub feel. The parking lot can be a little intense, especially the first time you go. There is more parking available than what it initially looks like. There are more spots available behind the building on the north side, but that may only be on weekends. Also beware, I had a scam parking ticket on my car after this visit. It did not have any indicator why I received the ticket, and has a QR code to pay the $25 fee. If you get one of these go online and see if it matches other scam parking tickets before trying to pay. read more

Always been curious about this place and we finally tried it last night. Graydon's Crossing describes itself having a "cozy pub atmosphere with a perfect balance of traditional foods". They pretty much nailed it with that description. Met another couple here before a play on a busy Saturday night. Heard great things about the fish and chips so two of us ordered that along with a crispy fish sandwich and a burger. Absolutely loved the fish sandwich which was served on a Brioche bun with asian slaw and sweet ginger sauce. The fish and chips included a large piece of cod along with some pretty good fries. That looked and was excellent. Service was over the top good despite being extremely busy. Parking lot was small and full and seemed to be attached (not sure) to a pay lot. After a short time, I found nearby street parking. Will definitely be back hopefully to drink as well as their beer menu is as excellent as it is extensive. read more

Planned a wedding rehearsal dinner from out of state and there was an issue with the original reservation due to a staff change. Once I brought to their attention that I had these plans, Taylor was right on it working with me to get the menu and pricing to what I had expected and a great menu worked out with the chef Oliver. Upon arriving I will honestly say I was put off by the run down appearance but hoped for the best. Zoe the server was extremely accommodating and worked her butt off to get our huge party served. The food was delicious and everyone had a great time with all positive comments. I know this is under new ownership and I would hope that they work on getting the place fixed up to match the wonderful experience dining here. read more

Have been coming here for well over a decade. It's changed ownership a few times and menu many times. Through this, the staff has come to recognize and even joke about holding our favorite table. I've recommended this restaurant many times to friends and clients but in recent years, I've been really disappointed. Our favorite dishes continue to be removed from the menu and even the few that have remained are no longer consistent out of the kitchen. We have not loved the changes that have come with the most recent acquisition. Our favorite staff are no longer there whether because they left on their own accord or were pushed out. We've shown up for dinner or brunch a few times this year to see a hand-written sign on the door that they were closed because of sudden conditions or because of lack of staff. I desperately want this restaurant to get their act together. I want to come back and herald this place like I used to. read more

Chicken sandwich: half the chicken was gristle and inedible, the half that was actually meat was slimy, unseasoned and so bland. sandwich was supposed to come with chips, but upcharged $3.50 for onion rings and I only got 3. Literally over $1 for each onion ring. Inside is dark and dirty, bathrooms are gross. Unfortunate ending to what used to be a great place. read more

Oh my gosh, this place was sooo good!! This place was recommended on a Lansing Foodies Facebook group. We joined an old friend from college for drinks and dinner and I'm so glad we checked it out. It's an old building, but has plenty of character. We had a very knowledgeable and friendly server-Allison rocked it! We asked her to pick out her favorite appetizer and she brought us this super-cheesy truffle Mac and cheese. We had a few cocktail selections that were very elegant: The holy bliss (Tanquerary, blueberry puree, lemonade and lemon juice) and Violette Starry Night (Peacemaker gin, creme de violette, St. Germain, bubbles, lemon juice and lavender bitters) but our absolute fave was the Graydon's Lion (Buffalo Trace, allspice dram, lime juice, simple syrup, Angostura bitters served with a giant square cube). And, they brought out a complimentary beer flight from Archival Brewery, and who doesn't like free beer?!?) Great work from our bartender who served us well. It got better and better with the food: braised short ribs (with broccolini and blue cheese roasted potatoes-yum) it was served with a knife that was never used because the beef was so tender. Two of us ordered the chicken sandwich which was served on a bagel. When I read it was served on a bagel it didn't appeal to me because I thought "chewy", but my fam let me steal a bite and the bagel was actually "pillowy", and it was perfect with the chicken. I ordered the burger (I originally thought this was a boring selection but it sounded good, and Allison said it was her fave.) Sooo good! I added the onion rings, and they had the perfect crunch. Kudos to the chef and kitchen crew. Spot on. We hung out for a long time catching up, and Allison was attentive but we never felt pushed out the door which seems to happen more often than not now days. They also had an outdoor patio that was secluded and looked cute. We chose inside because we spent all day in the sun and needed a break, but next time I want to check out the patio-and there will definitely be a next time!!! Thanks, Graydon's!! read more

This place totally sucks now. I am so disappointed in another business ripping me off of my hard earned money like it was nothing. First they got rid of the best dry aged burger in GR, replaced it with some shit burger and told me it was just as good. I asked them about bacon on it and yea they put few crumbs of bacon and charged the same as if it was the thick cut applewood they use to use. Blue cheese is definitely not Stilton anymore it's crap. Now let's get to the salmon yuck gross I'm so pissed. I paid $24 for a shit piece of extra dried out tiny garbage piece of salmon, with some shitty cut up pieces of Brussels sprouts. I got this meal to go and impress my friend I was bragging about until we opened the boxes. I hope you go out of business or catch fire you ripped me off and you suck. Do not eat here it sucks sucks sucks read more

The vibe was pretty cool - think English soccer pub. It smelled a little like fish when we walked in. The service was good. We ordered the pretzel nuggz and they were great. Our food was decent, but kind of overpriced. The bathroom was gross with large, dusty cobwebs in the corner. Once I saw those, I was very worried about the condition of the kitchen. The servers were really pleasant, but I wouldn't go back to this place when there are so many options in town. Would be a fun place to watch a game and sit at the bar I think! read more

Wow just wow! I had high hopes for this place based off of friends reviews and it certainly delivered. I got the bells and whistles burger without cheese and it was amazing! So much flavor. The fried egg added a extra touch that took the burger to a new level, combined with the chipotle mayo and garlic aioli! It was so yummy! I highly recommend this burger. We didn't get to sit outside because it was drizzling but the back patio looked very cute and welcoming. Inside was definitely an English pub feel and the staff was great! read more

I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch and got sick from it.

Graydon's Crossing is one of those places that I used to visit a lot, but tend to forget about recently. This is a mistake! They have a great patio, brunch, awesome cocktails, and some tasty food. My boyfriend and I met some friends at Graydon's for a late lunch the other day and got a spot on the patio. There is both shade and sun, which makes it great for anyone. The patio is under some maple trees, so we had a lot of the seed spinners floating down on us the whole time, but it didn't bug us at all. Their brunch menu includes some cocktail specials like a mimosa for $4 which is a pretty great deal. I got mine with orange juice and pineapple juice mixed. We got there right before the brunch menu ended, but I had my eye on the burger. My boyfriend got the breakfast tacos. Our food came out pretty quickly and everything looked great. One of our friends got the biscuits and gravy which was a massive plate! My burger was cooked properly and the fries are thin cut, which I love more than any other fries. The burger itself could have been seasoned a bit more but it was juicy and the bun held up well to the toppings. I would definitely be back to try more of their menu as it has changed a bit since I was last there. My boyfriend said that the breakfast tacos were some of the best he's ever had, so there you go! They have sweet potato and chorizo in them. We hung out a bit on the patio and had a few drinks after lunch. It was a super relaxing atmosphere and our server was great. They have a water cooler out on the patio for self-refills which is nice. Definitely a great spot for some warm weather hangs! read more

This has remained one of my "comfort" spots in GR over the years. The food isn't blow-your-mind amazing, but it's consistent and just feels homey. I've always enjoyed getting beer flights here, and the scotch selection isn't bad for a random Irish/Indian fusion restaurant. They have an outdoor patio, which is a plus, and daily drink specials. The late night happy hours from 9p-midnight also mean you get a good pisco sour for $6. I had the shepherd's pie last time I came, since I'm a savory pie fan and there aren't too many spots you can get one around here. Didn't love the broccolini side, but it's not exactly Irish or Indian! read more
