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. Breakfast is available all day and they're open 24/7. It's hard to find anything to complain about! The prices are beyond reasonable and match what most midwestern diners sell for. 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.

We loved the cheese curds, definitely some of the best in west MI (and we've had a LOT). I got the Baja Rice Bowl, it was amazing and a huge meal portion!

I don't know how old is place is or how long it has been in business ?? but this is theeeee hole in the wall as we like to say it!! convenient located in Grand Rapids in a small local neighborhood absolutely awesome fast service ,very attentive service ,waitresses were fun, shouting back-and-forth, shouting out orders talking to all of the patrons and customers.. very small inside and very clean !! but yes, very old!! a hole in the WalshIsh 5 star!! but the best part is hands-down, the food !!!!! my counterpart had a burger and said it was the best burger he's ever had. 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. This is a five star find breakfast/lunch "joint!! " PS I didn't take any pictures of the food as I devoured it as it got to my table all the pictures shown are spot on. Enjoy.!!

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.

Always a…read morebig line waiting for tables on a Saturday or Sunday morning, but they're quick to get people through. I've not been to the Plainfield location, but this seems like the typical local breakfast spot - close packed tables and multiple rooms as it naturally expanded over the years. It's not super highly polished like a chain place is, but I prefer this vibe. Food is always excellent - pancakes and bacon and sausage. The only one gripe is they don't do hashbrowns! It doesn't appear like there's a ton of parking, but there's both a big lot across the street behind the businesses, and a lot behind Real Food Cafe you can park in (which I was unaware of until recently!).

The homemade corned beef in the Reuben is spectacular. The toast on the bread, the balance of the cheese and the sauerkraut, all of it results in some awesome mouthfuls. The staff are clever, pleasant, quick with the coffee refills, and knowledgeable about their menu. The ambiançe of the place is spot-on, the décor is tidy American diner at its very best mixed with old school lunch counter. The lighting is great, and it it has a very pleasant and relaxing vibe. Perfect to hang out with a few friends and nosh. This one is not only a bookmark, I'm already making plans to bring folks back. As the Michelin guys say: worth the trip.

We were lucky enough to snag a table in the corner and it was the perfect spot to catch up with my friend. It is seat yourself! Our waitress arrived quickly and we ordered drinks and food. The fried pickles for an appetizer were amazing. Some of the best fried pickles I've had in a while and the ranch was soooo good. Also the portion is huge so we were able to take a lot of home. I had my eye on the mortadella with pistachio cream sandwich from the moment they posted the special on Facebook and it was everything I expected. Sooo yummy and I would eat this everyday for the rest of my life. Super fresh and all the ingredients just paired so nicely. Two Guys Brewing also has a community fridge where they make and put out free meals for those in need and people can come grab some. It's awesome. Can't wait to go back!

We arrived right at 5 pm on a Friday and the place was almost full already! We were surprised but happy for them, and glad to get a nice cozy two-top in a back corner. We were greeted by our awesome server and ordered some food -- two different mortadella sandwiches and an order of fried pickles to start. Neither of us ordered drinks, but I saw some fun-looking cocktails coming over to nearby tables. The fried pickles came out first and they were perfection. I don't usually get this appetizer because I don't like fried pickle spears, but these were thin chips. The ratio of the fried pickle chip vs. spear is way better. And these came with the best runny ranch. It was a huge portion to split between the two of us, so we had lots left over. Our sandwiches came out shortly after and looked amazing. They were super stacked with tons of meat! I really liked the addition of the grainy mustard which helped cut through the fattiness of the meat. My friend liked hers - it had pistachio butter and ricotta (similar to a delicious sandwich I ate at a wine bar in Detroit). Portions are large and it's a cozy, neighborhood spot. They have rotating food features and are always helping out their community with free meals and other philanthropic ventures. Check them out!
