This past visit, I ordered chocolate chip pancakes (buttermilk pancake platter add chocolate chips) and they were delish! I think their pricing is good.

A Reliable Breakfast Classic in Grand Rapids New Beginnings…read moreRestaurant on Northland Drive remains a go-to spot for hearty, no-frills breakfast in the Grand Rapids area. This longstanding diner delivers classic American comfort food with generous portions, consistent quality, and a welcoming vibe that keeps locals coming back. The restaurant was packed to the gills during my recent visit, a clear sign of its popularity even on a typical morning. Despite the crowd, the place stayed impressively clean, with tables turning over efficiently and the dining area well-maintained. The wait staff was friendly, attentive, and eager to serve, as always--quick to refill drinks, check in, and make sure everything arrived just right. I started with a large chocolate milk (paired with a water back for balance) -- creamy, rich, and perfectly chilled. For the main meal, I opted for bacon and eggs with extra-crispy hash browns and wheat toast. The eggs came dippy (over-easy), ideal for sopping up on the toast. The hash browns were golden, crispy-edged, and generously portioned, topped with a dollop of ketchup for that classic touch. The bacon arrived extra crispy, perfectly rendered with that satisfying crunch, laid over slices of toasted wheat bread. Everything was hot, flavorful, and executed just as requested. I skipped the side of sausage gravy this time to focus on the eggs and toast combo, but the simplicity worked beautifully. To cap it off, I finished my breakfast with an extra decadent piece of toast by combining both strawberry jam and grape Concord jelly onto my last triangle -- a sweet, nostalgic finale that hit the spot. One quirky highlight: I saw Jesus in the sugar bowl (the little figurine condiment caddy added a fun, homey touch to the table setup, complete with the salt, pepper, and ketchup nearby). Overall, the food was fantastic -- fresh, satisfying, and exactly what you want from a breakfast diner. Prices remain reasonable for the portion sizes, making it a great value in a city with plenty of options. Service and cleanliness hold steady even under pressure, which speaks to good management. As always, I recommend this place for anyone craving a solid, reliable breakfast. It would be splendid if they opened a location in the Cedar Springs, Michigan area -- it would be a welcome addition up north!

The staff is very friendly and accurate with your order! It's also very affordable too!read more

We didn't wait long for our drink order, and the special blend of coffee here was wonderful. I ordered the Crab Cakes Benedict with spinach and a side of hash browns. Our waiter Tom made suggestions for adding on a few things, which was more about enhancing the food and not just the random upsell. I couldn't say "no" to Boursin cheese added to the Bene or onions to my hash browns. That took everything up a notch, especially the Boursin suggestion (which I didn't even see or know was an option). My wife's Idaho omelette also looked amazing, and must have been, because I didn't get any of it and she almost always leaves food behind for me to finish. Overall one of the best breakfast food experiences I've had. Everything (poached eggs, crab cakes, hollandaise, etc.) was cooked to perfection. Many of the other dishes whizzing by to other tables assured me that there's more to explore in a potential future return. The staff there really cares about your experience from the time you arrive, through eating, and even as you exit (as we even offered coffee to go), and that's a rare thing these days.

I got a brown sugar shaken espresso latte and a steak bowl and both were fantastic. I was surprised by the latte not being too sweet like most places, and you could still taste the coffee. The only downside to this restaurant was the heat, it almost felt like there was no air conditioning. I will say there are tons of windows and nice natural light, so that could be the culprit. They do have a nice patio if the weather is right, unfortunately when I was there the smoke was considered hazardous, so eating inside was the best option. All in all, I would recommend anyone trying MudPenny if you like to eat good ingredients and drink great coffee!

The portion sizes were big and all the food tasted amazing. I personally got the Denver/western omelet that had the perfect balance of eggs and ingredients on the inside. The menu has a wide variety of options with many different dishes to choose from. The cafe has both breakfast and lunch which is always a plus.
