Went to Mudpenny for the first time for brunch. Decent crowd on a Saturday. Opted for the Kevin…read moreMalone instead of the Brunchwrap and I think that was the right choice. Burrito is packed full of hash browns, crispy bacon, sausage, egg, and cheese. The only downside to the Kevin Malone is that they use spinach instead of like a chopped lettuce for the burrito and the texture is a little overpowering. Plus, they don't chop the stems off the spinach, so I'd either order it without or pick some pieces out. I feel like the Brunchwrap has a thicker layer of it and as much as mixing in a green is smart, it has to be prepped properly in my opinion. Patatas bravas as a side were fire. The potatoes were roasted and seasoned well. It advertised a garlic aioli, but we did not get that. As with San Chez's patatas bravas, ask for the sauce on the side. It is a very good side of potatoes compared to the thinly, oddly sliced potato slices that came with the breakfast sandwich. They looked like apple slices and were sort of wet and soggy like them too. Nitpicking their spinach prep and refining their side dish of potatoes are really the only notes if someone from Mudpenny is actually reading this and got this far. Great breakfast spot and service was spot on.

MudPenny was a great treat for an out of towner! I was staying in Ada and MudPenny was across the…read morestreet, location was great! The staff were warm and helpful. 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!

Zero acknowledgment of our existence even though I looked both of them in the eye and nodded a hello. We waited a few minutes for someone to come over while the smaller old lady just stood behind the bar doing nothing. Another couple walked in after we had been sitting and were greeted by name and asked what they wanted to drink. We were completely ignored. On what planet is it acceptable to treat customers with complete unearned disrespect? Those women have been on this earth long enough to know how to treat people. If I was the owner I would be appalled. So we ended up going down the street to Vitales where we were immediately greeted and are now giving them our business. Good job, ladies. Good job

This ended up being a very enjoyable part of my visit to Grand Rapids…read more I had an early start for my day, which meant I was able to get in and be seated immediately when I arrived. As I was leaving you could tell that they were getting busier. Service was very friendly throughout my visit, and I was pleased with the bright welcoming nature of the room itself. I wanted something a little lighter for breakfast and went with a yogurt parfait. It was absolutely terrific. Wonderful granola prepared with freshly sliced berries and a delicious honey glaze. I would 100% get this again if I were able to come back. Pricing was completely fair for the quality of food that I got. Hope to return someday!

Noco Provisions, Grand Rapids, Michigan…read more While visiting a local whom I've known since law school 40 years ago, we stopped at Noco Provisions on Cascade Road, Grand Rapids in late June 2026. We arrived around 5:30 p.m., early enough that there were still places to sit, inside and outside. Our host explained that the tables were full at the moment, predicting a table would be ready within 15 minutes. We agreed and headed to the bar. As we were getting settled there a table opened up and we brought our drinks from the bar to the table (Sonoma Cutrer Chardonnay, $15; White Claw ($5) and a Bombay Sapphire ($10), all subject to a 3.5% surcharge, which is never actually explained, so we can't tell if the server gets to share in the benefit of the surcharge or whether he or she gets nothing from the charge. I assumed the restaurant was not sharing this money with the service staff, so I tipped as though she was not a beneficiary of the charge. Service both at the bar and at our table was great. I ordered the Prime Rib French Dip ($22.00, thinly sliced prime rib topped with melted white cheddar and au jus. Served on a toasted hoagie bun with fries). The meal was presented with less than a 20-minute wait, totally in line with the venue. Our server was observant (she kept our water glasses full) and helpful. Since the sandwich was pretty substantial, I was able to box up half plus the leftover fries, making a great lunch the next day. Great service, authentic American menu, nice indoor layout with equally nice outdoor seating.

For every pro, there is a con. Well, kinda. Pro: Extensive selection on tap. Con: One of our beer lists was outdated, and they last updated the rest 3 days ago. So not a 1:1 match. Pro: Most of the beer is local. My dark lager came from Comstock Park, as had I not 30 minutes prior. Con: There are seven sister locations, so this is actually a small chain, not a local independent establishment. And most of the sisters are uppity-looking from their names. Pro: Delicious food all around, everyone agreed. 5 star taste. Con: Very heavy, calorie-intensive, etc. Don't expect to eat healthy. Pro: Great waitress who got our sense of humor, willing to take a group photo. Con: umm... didn't sit with us and join our table... umm... okay no cons with her. Pros outweigh the cons. Come for the food, stay for the beer, or something like that. Bring your appetite and don't be on a diet. But do bring a flashlight to read the menu. More than one person had trouble in the gloaming.

The atmosphere is great and the design of the property is beautiful. You can tell that everything was thought through from the silverware and glasses to the furniture and light fixtures. Our server was very friendly and took great care of us. The drinks took a little while to arrive each round but our server apologized and the bartenders were clearly busy. We decided to order a bunch of small plates to share. The Caesar Salad was very fishy and I probably wouldn't order it again, but that's authentic I guess? The Truffle Fries were delicious, but pretty hard to mess that up. We loved the Calamari because it was very lightly fried and the sauce was great. The Slider Trilogy sounded amazing on the menu but it fell short for us. Each slider had all of the same toppings but the protein changed. We felt they all basically tasted the same, which bummed us out. They would be great if the Ahi Tuna had wasabi or something different. Overall, pretty cool spot for a date night or special occasion. The prices definitely reflect a higher end restaurant and more expensive Ada. We will definitely come back and try more stuff.
